Entropy Measures for Stochastic Processes with Applications in Functional Anomaly Detection
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2018-01)
We propose a definition of entropy for stochastic processes. We provide a reproducing kernel Hilbert space model to estimate entropy from a random sample of realizations of a stochastic process, namely functional data, and ...
Abiotic Soil Health Indicators that Respond to Sustainable Management Practices in Sugarcane Cultivation
(Mdpi, 2020-11-01)
Soil quality (SQ) assessments are fundamental to design more sustainable land uses and management practices. However, SQ is a complex concept and there is not a universal approach to evaluate SQ across different conditions ...
A minimum set of ancestry informative markers for determining admixture proportions in a mixed American population: the Brazilian set
(European Society of Human GeneticsBrasil, 2015-09)
The Brazilian population is considered to be highly admixed. The main contributing ancestral populations were European and African, with Amerindians contributing to a lesser extent. The aims of this study were to provide ...
The Labor Impact of Minimum Wages: A Method for Estimating the Effect in Emerging Economies using Chilean Panel Data
(Universidad de Chile. Facultad de Economía y Negocios, 2011-01)
We develop and use a statistical matching technique to construct a panel data set from the Chilean National Employment Survey; and then use this panel to test the short term impacts of minimum wage increases during the ...
Minimum distance method for directional data and outlier detection
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2017-06)
In this paper, we propose estimators based on the minimum distance for the unknown parameters of a parametric density on the unit sphere. We show that these estimators are consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. ...
