This paper considers the construction of a family of discrete distributions with the flexibility to cater for under-, equi- and over-dispersion in count data using a finite mixture model based on standard distributions. We are motivated to introduce...

COVID-19 spread dramatically across the world in the beginning of 2020. This paper presents a novel alert system that will detect abrupt changes in the COVID-19 or other pandemic incidence rate through the estimated time-varying reproduction number (...

In multifactor fixed-effects ANOVAs, we show how to construct orthonormal F contrasts for main effects. Our primary focus is the case when the levels of the factor of interest are ordered. Likewise, in multifactor equally replicated fixed-effects ANO...

The rise of explainable natural language processing spurred a bulk of work on datasets augmented with human explanations, as well as technical approaches to leverage them. Notably, generative large language models offer new possibilities, as they can...

This study considers the statistical estimation of relations presented by implicit functions. Such structures define mutual interconnections of variables rather than outcome variable dependence by predictor variables considered in regular regression...

Global scenarios of organizations show investments wasted in projects with poor performances in more than 11 percent of cases, according to the Project Management Institute. This research aims to guide organizations in assertively investing in the ri...

To address the difficult problem of the multi-step-ahead prediction of nonparametric autoregressions, we consider a forward bootstrap approach. Employing a local constant estimator, we can analyze a general type of nonparametric time-series model and...

In surveys requiring cost efficiency, such as medical research, measuring the variable of interest (e.g., disease status) is expensive and/or time-consuming; however, we often have access to easily obtainable characteristics about sampling units. The...

In the present paper, a new special function, the so-called extreme value H-function, is introduced. This new function, which is a generalization of the H-function with a particular set of parameters, appears while dealing with products and quotients...

In this study, we introduce a new generalized family of distributions called the Exponentiated Half Logistic-Harris-G (EHL-Harris-G) distribution, which extends the Harris-G distribution. The motivation for introducing this generalized family of dist...
