### SVD of correlated matrix should be additive but doesn't appear to be

I'm just trying to replicate a claim made in the following paper, Finding Correlated Biclusters from Gene Expression Data, which is: Proposition 4. If $X_{IJ}=R_{I}C^{T}_{J}$. then we have: ...

### Can the Mantel test be extended to asymmetric matrices?

The Mantel test is usually applied to symmetric distance/difference matrices. As far as I understand, an assumption of the test is that the measure used to define differences must be at least a ...

### Gaussian Ratio Distribution: Derivatives wrt underlying $\mu$'s and $\sigma^2$s

I'm working with two independent normal distributions $X$ and $Y$, with means $\mu_x$ and $\mu_y$ and variances $\sigma^2_x$ and $\sigma^2_y$. I'm interested in the distribution of their ratio ...

### What does the anova() command do with a lmer model object?

Hopefully this is a question that someone here can answer for me on the nature of decomposing sums of squares from a mixed-effects model fit with lmer (from the ...

### $ARIMA(p,d,q)+X_t$, Simulation over Forecasting period

I have time series data and I used an $ARIMA(p,d,q)+X_t$ as the model to fit the data. The $X_t$ is an indicator random variable that is either 0 (when I don’t see a rare event) or 1 (when I see the ...

### How can we bound the probability that a random variable is maximal?

Suppose we have $N$ independent random variables $X_1$, $\ldots$, $X_n$ with finite means $\mu_1 \leq \ldots \leq \mu_N$ and variances $\sigma_1^2$, $\ldots$, $\sigma_N^2$. I am looking for ...

### How to test equality of variances with circular data

I am interested in comparing the amount of variability within 8 different samples (each from a different population). I am aware that this can be done by several methods with ratio data: F-test ...

### Degrees of freedom of $\chi^2$ in Hosmer-Lemeshow test

The test statistic for the Hosmer-Lemeshow test for goodness of fit of a logistic regression model is defined as follows: the sample is split into $d=10$ deciles, $D_1, D_2, \dots , D_{d}$, per ...

### In statistical learning theory, isn't there a problem of overfitting on a test set?

Let's consider the problem about classifying the MNIST dataset. According to Yann LeCun's MNIST Webpage, 'Ciresan et al.' got 0.23% error rate on MNIST test set using Convolutional Neural Network. ...

### Biased estimator for regression achieving better results than unbiased one in Error In Variables Model

I am working on some syntatic data for Error In Variable model for some research. Currently I have a single independent variable, and I am assuming I know the variance for the true value of the ...
An univariate autoregressive process AR(p) process is expressed as $$y(n) = \sum_{j=1}^p a_jy(n-j) + u(n)$$ is excited by Gaussian sequence, $u$. Paper : On the Computation of the Cramer-Rao Bound ...
