ML, PL, QL in Markov chain models
Nils Lid Hjort, Cristiano Varin
In many spatial and spatial-temporal models, and more generally in models with complex dependencies, it may be too difficult to carry out full maximum likelihood (ML) analysis. Rem…
Consistent and Scalable Composite Likelihood Estimation of Probit Models with Crossed Random Effects
Ruggero Bellio, Swarnadip Ghosh, Art B. Owen +1
Estimation of crossed random effects models commonly requires computational costs that grow faster than linearly in the sample size , often as fast as , making them…
Pairwise likelihood estimation of latent autoregressive count models
Xanthi Pedeli, Cristiano Varin
Latent autoregressive models are useful time series models for the analysis of infectious disease data. Evaluation of the likelihood function of latent autoregressive models is int…
Improving the accuracy of likelihood-based inference in meta-analysis and meta-regression
Ioannis Kosmidis, Annamaria Guolo, Cristiano Varin
Random-effects models are frequently used to synthesise information from different studies in meta-analysis. While likelihood-based inference is attractive both in terms of limitin…
Beta regression for time series analysis of bounded data, with application to Canada Google Flu Trends
Annamaria Guolo, Cristiano Varin
Bounded time series consisting of rates or proportions are often encountered in applications. This manuscript proposes a practical approach to analyze bounded time series, through…
Statistical Modelling of Citation Exchange Between Statistics Journals
Cristiano Varin, Manuela Cattelan, David Firth
Rankings of scholarly journals based on citation data are often met with skepticism by the scientific community. Part of the skepticism is due to disparity between the common perce…
The ranking lasso and its application to sport tournaments
Guido Masarotto, Cristiano Varin
Ranking a vector of alternatives on the basis of a series of paired comparisons is a relevant topic in many instances. A popular example is ranking contestants in sport tournaments…
