Effects of Selection on Mortality

The paper entitled "Effects of Selection on Mortality" by Seltzer and Jablon (Am J Epidemiol 100:367-372, 1974) is both interesting and thought-provoking. The authors report that death rates among Army veterans of World War II have been much lower than those among US white males of similar ages.

We present here methodology for choosing a small representative sample based on a mixture modeling approach.

Comment on "Parasite selection for immunogenetic optimality".

Resistance to pathogens has been measured directly in several organisms by examining single-copy major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes (1, 2). However, some MHC genes are found in multiple, tightly linked copies, as expected from gene duplication. Wegner et al. (3) reported that for a class IIB MHC gene with a variable number of copies (three to nine copies in different individuals) in t...

Model Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample

We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...
