Evaluating Structural Equation Models with Unobservable Variables and Measurement Error
The statistical tests used in the analysis of structural equation models with unobservable variables and measurement error are examined. A drawback of the commonly applied chi s...
Self-Consistent Equations Including Exchange and Correlation Effects
From a theory of Hohenberg and Kohn, approximation methods for treating an inhomogeneous system of interacting electrons are developed. These methods are exact for systems of sl...
Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform
Abstract Motivation: The enormous amount of short reads generated by the new DNA sequencing technologies call for the development of fast and accurate read alignment programs. A...
Global cancer statistics
The global burden of cancer continues to increase largely because of the aging and growth of the world population alongside an increasing adoption of cancer-causing behaviors, p...
Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
A simple analysis of funnel plots provides a useful test for the likely presence of bias in meta-analyses, but as the capacity to detect bias will be limited when meta-analyses ...
Regression Shrinkage and Selection Via the Lasso
SUMMARY We propose a new method for estimation in linear models. The ‘lasso’ minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients b...
Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data Via the <i>EM</i> Algorithm
Summary A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone ...
