Spatial Bayesian Nonparametric Methods
NONPARAMETRIC BAYESIAN INFERENCE IN BIOSTATISTICS, pp. 347–357.
TL;DR:

Using Decision Lists to Construct Interpretable and Parsimonious Treatment Regimes
BIOMETRICS, 71(4), 895–904.
author keywords: Decision lists; Exploratory analyses; Interpretability; Personalized medicine; Treatment regimes
MeSH headings : Biometry / methods; Breast Neoplasms / drug therapy; Clinical Protocols; Clinical Trials as Topic / statistics & numerical data; Computer Simulation; Decision Trees; Depression / therapy; Evidence-Based Medicine / statistics & numerical data; Female; Humans; Models, Statistical; Precision Medicine / statistics & numerical data
TL;DR:
A simple, yet flexible class of treatment regimes whose members are representable as a short list of if–then statements are proposed, which are immediately interpretable and are therefore an appealing choice for broad application in practice.

Observations of Cerceris fumipennis (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) phenology and variation in its buprestid prey in Louisiana
Florida Entomologist, 98(4), 1106–1113.

Estimation After a Group Sequential Trial
STATISTICS IN BIOSCIENCES, 7(2), 187–205.
author keywords: Exponential family; Frequentist inference; Generalized sample average; Joint modeling; Likelihood inference; Missing at random; Sample average
TL;DR:
It is shown that the ordinary sample average is a viable option for estimation following a group sequential trial, for a wide class of stopping rules and for random outcomes with a distribution in the exponential family, and it is consistent and asymptotically unbiased.

Consistent testing for recurrent genomic aberrations
BIOMETRIKA, 102(4), 783–796.
author keywords: Consistency; DNA copy number; DNA methylation; Genome-wide association study; Hypothesis testing
TL;DR:
The analysis establishes the consistency of cyclic shift values for datasets with a fixed set of samples as the number of observed variables tends to infinity, under the assumption that each sample is an independent realization of a stationary Markov chain.

Further re-analyses looking for effects of phylogenetic diversity on community biomass and stability
Cardinale, B. J., Venail, P., Gross, K., Oakley, T. H., Narwani, A., Allan, E., … Ruijven, J. (2015, December). FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY, Vol. 29, pp. 1607–1610.
TL;DR:
All analyses strongly support previous literature claims about the value of PD and it is found that SR tends to increase the biomass production of plant communities after controlling for PD, and Cadotte concludes that PD provides a more powerful explanation of variation in biomass production than species richness.

Structured estimation for the nonparametric Cox model
ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF STATISTICS, 9(1), 492–534.
TL;DR:
Theoretical properties of the non-parametric Cox proportional hazards model in a high dimensional non-asymptotic setting are studied and it is shown that bounded effects can lead to prediction bounds similar to the simple linear models, whereas unbounded effects can leads to larger prediction bounds.

Simulation and analysis of a model dinoflagellate predator-prey system
EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL-SPECIAL TOPICS, 224(17-18), 3257–3270.
TL;DR:
This study investigates how the predatory dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum uses toxins to immobilize its prey and increase its feeding rate, and results from these computational simulations closely match the experimentally observed predatory behavior.

The Empirical Distribution of a Large Number of Correlated Normal Variables
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION, 110(511), 1217–1228.
author keywords: Asymptotic approximation; Dependent random variables; Empirical null; Factor analysis; High-dimensional data; Strong correlation
TL;DR:
This work provides a necessary and sufficient condition for convergence of the empirical cumulative distribution function (ecdf) of standard normal random variables under arbitrary correlation, and shows that the ecdf limit is a random, possible infinite, mixture of normal distribution functions that depends on a number of latent variables and can serve as an asymptotic approximation to the ecDF in high dimensions.

Statistical methods for combining information: Stryker family of vehicles reliability case study
Journal of Quality Technology, 47(4), 400–415.
Contributors: R. Dickinson*, L. Freeman *, B. Simpson* & A. Wilson n
TL;DR:
It is shown that, when the available information across two test phases for the Stryker family of vehicles is combined, reliability estimates are more accurate and precise than those reported previously using traditional methods that use only operational test data in their reliability assessments.
