When small data beats big data
Small data is sometimes preferable to big data. A high quality small sample can produce superior inferences to a low quality large sample. Data has acquisition, computation and privacy costs which require costs to be balanced...

Local bounds for stochastic reaction diffusion equations
We prove a priori bounds for solutions of stochastic reaction diffusion equations with super-linear damping in the reaction term. These bounds provide a control on the supremum of solutions on any compact space-time set which...

A priori bounds for rough differential equations with a non-linear damping term
We consider a rough differential equation with a non-linear damping drift term: dY(t)=−|Y|m−1Y(t)dt+σ(Y(t))dX(t), where X is a branched rough path of arbitrary regularity α>0, m>1 and where σ is smooth and satisfies an m...

Jan 01, 0001
Generalized additive models (GAMs) have been popularized by the work of Hastie and Tibshirani (Generalized Additive Models (1990)) and the availability of user friendly gam software in Splus. However, whilst it is flexible and...

On quantile quantile plots for generalized linear models
The distributional assumption for a generalized linear model is often checked by plotting the ordered deviance residuals against the quantiles of a standard normal distribution. Such plots can be difficult to interpret, because...

Triploid plover female provides support for a role of the W chromosome in avian sex determination
Two models, Z Dosage and Dominant W, have been proposed to explain sex determination in birds, in which males are characterized by the presence of two Z chromosomes, and females are hemizygous with a Z and a W chromosome....

Modelling fat mass as a function of weekly physical activity profiles measured by Actigraph accelerometers
We show results on the Avon longitudinal study of parents and children (ALSPAC) using a new approach for modelling the relationship between health outcomes and physical activity assessed by accelerometers. The key feature of the...
