Forecasting unemployment using Internet search data via PRISM
Dingdong Yi, Shaoyang Ning, Chia-Jung Chang +1
Big data generated from the Internet offer great potential for predictive analysis. Here we focus on using online users' Internet search data to forecast unemployment initial claim…
Estimating thresholding levels for random fields via Euler characteristics
Robert J. Adler, Kevin Bartz, Sam C. Kou +1
We introduce Lipschitz-Killing curvature (LKC) regression, a new method to produce thresholds for signal detection in random fields that does not require knowledge of the s…
Advances in using Internet searches to track dengue
Shihao Yang, S. C. Kou, Fred Lu +3
Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease that threatens more than half of the world's population. Despite being endemic to over 100 countries, government-led efforts and mechanisms to ti…
Optimal shrinkage estimation of mean parameters in family of distributions with quadratic variance
Xianchao Xie, S. C. Kou, Lawrence Brown
This paper discusses the simultaneous inference of mean parameters in a family of distributions with quadratic variance function. We first introduce a class of semiparametric/param…
Optimal shrinkage estimation in heteroscedastic hierarchical linear models
Samuel Kou, Justin J. Yang
Shrinkage estimators have profound impacts in statistics and in scientific and engineering applications. In this article, we consider shrinkage estimation in the presence of linear…
Correlation analysis of enzymatic reaction of a single protein molecule
Chao Du, S. C. Kou
New advances in nano sciences open the door for scientists to study biological processes on a microscopic molecule-by-molecule basis. Recent single-molecule biophysical experiments…
