Solar photovoltaic (PV) has established itself as a fairly promising, fast-growing renewable energy source. The main determinants of solar PV deployment are thought to be physical and climatic factors – such latitude irradiance, not mention terrain built environment features well socio-economic drivers — population density, household size, education level. Besides, peer effects neighborhood fou...

Screening for ultrahigh dimensional features may encounter complicated issues such as outlying observations, heteroscedasticity or heavy-tailed distribution, multi-collinearity and confounding effects. Standard correlation-based marginal screening methods be a weak solution to these issues. We contribute novel robust joint screener safeguard against outliers distribution mis-specification both ...

objective(s): osteoarthritis (oa), as a known degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis. in this study, we aimed to elucidate unclear pathogenesis of oa. materials and methods: rabbit models of oa were established by the transection of the anterior cruciate ligament. rabbits were randomly divided into three equal groups: the experimental group (oa modeling, treated with e...

Parameter estimation with non-ignorable missing data is a challenging problem in statistics. The fully parametric approach for joint modeling of the response model and the population model can produce results that are quite sensitive to the failure of the assumed model. We propose a more robust modeling approach by considering the model for the nonresponding part as an exponential tilting of th...
