The purpose of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) is to foster the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability. The Institute was formed at a ...

Linear mixed models (LMMs) serve as a versatile statistical framework, combining fixed effects that capture the overall trends with random effects that account for variability across subjects, ...

In many regression problems, data on the dependent variable are censored; that is, the values of some observations are known only to be above or else below some value. Such data often arise in ...

SAS/INSIGHT fit analysis provides the traditional parametric regression analysis assuming that the regression function is linear in the unknown parameters. The relationship is expressed as an equation ...

The MAP estimator form is used for the estimation of random parameters whereas the maximum-likelihood (ML) form is generally associated with the estimation of deterministic parameters. From Bayes Rule ...
