### 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: ...

### When is binomial distribution function above/below its limiting Poisson distribution function?

Let $B(n,p,r)$ denote the binomial distribution function (DF) with parameters $n \in \mathbb N$ and $p \in (0,1)$ evaluated at $r \in \{0,1,\ldots,n\}$: B(n,p,r) = \sum_{i=0}^r ...

### What is the difference between conditional and unconditional quantile regression?

The conditional quantile regression estimator by Koenker and Basset (1978) for the $\tau^{th}$ quantile is defined as $$\widehat{\beta}_{QR} = \min_{b} \sum^{n}_{i=1} \rho_\tau (y_i - X'_i b_\tau)$$ ...

### Shrunken $r$ vs unbiased $r$: estimators of $\rho$

There has been some confusion in my head about two types of estimators of the population value of Pearson correlation coefficient. A. Fisher (1915) showed that for bivariate normal population ...

### How the Pearson's Chi Squared Test works

Following a recent down vote I have been trying to check my understanding of the Pearson Chi Squared test. I usually use the chi squared statistic (or reduced chi squared statistic) for fitting or ...

### Random forests for multivariate regression

I have a multi-output regression problem with $d_x$ input features and $d_y$ outputs. The outputs have a complex, non-linear correlation structure. I'd like to use random forests to do the ...

### Prediction interval based on cross-validation (CV)

In the text books and youtube lectures I learned a lot about iterative models such as boosting, but I never saw anything about deriving a prediction interval. Cross validation is used for the ...

### Testing certain contrasts: Is this provably a hard problem, or not?

I posted this to mathoverflow and no one's answering: Scheffé's method for identifying statistically significant contrasts is widely known. A contrast among the means $\mu_i$, $i=1,\ldots,r$ of $r$ ...

### What are the options in proportional hazard regression model when Schoenfeld residuals are not good?

I am doing a Cox proportional hazards regression in R using coxph, which includes many variables. The Martingale residuals look great, and the Schoenfeld residuals ...

### Training a basic Markov Random Field for classifying pixels in an image

I am attempting to learn how to use Markov Random Fields to segment regions in an image. I do not understand some of the parameters in the MRF or why the expectation maximisation I perform fails to ...

### Inverting the Fourier Transform for a Fisher distribution

The characteristic function of Fisher $\mathcal{F}(1,\alpha)$ distribution is: C(t)=\frac{\Gamma \left(\frac{\alpha +1}{2}\right) U\left(\frac{1}{2},1-\frac{\alpha }{2},-i t \alpha \right)}{\Gamma ...

### Phylogenetic dependent variables: ANOVA?

I understand deriving a covariance matrix from phylogenetic data to make $cov(X,Y) = 0$ for two variables you're making a regression on. But what happens if you have one continuous variable, that ...

### Does Stein's Paradox still hold when using the $l_1$ norm instead of the $l_2$ norm?

Stein's Paradox shows that when three or more parameters are estimated simultaneously, there exist combined estimators more accurate on average (that is, having lower expected mean squared error) than ...
### $ARIMA(p,d,q)+X_t$, 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 ...
