Simultaneous variable selection for heteroscedastic regression models
In this paper, we propose a new criterion, named PICa, to simultaneously select explanatory variables in the mean model and variance model in heteroscedastic linear models based on the model structure. We show...

Implications of diverse sedimentation patterns in Hala Lake, Qinghai Province, China for reconstructing Late Quaternary climate
Hala Lake is located in the Qilian Mountains, Qinghai Province, China, at 4,078 m a.s.l. Its sediments contain an archive of climate and hydrologic changes during the Late Quaternary, as it is located close to...

Semiparametric analysis of isotonic errors-in-variables regression models with randomly right censored response
This paper considers the estimation of a semiparametric isotonic regression model when the covariates are measured with additive errors and the response is randomly right censored by a censoring time. The auth...

Evolution of sedimentary environments of the middle Jiangsu coast, South Yellow Sea since late MIS 3
An evolutionary model of sedimentary environments since late Marine Isotope Stage 3 (late MIS 3, i.e., ca. 39 cal ka BP) along the middle Jiangsu coast is presented based upon a reinterpretation of core 07SR01...

Asymptotic infimum coverage probability for interval estimation of proportions
In this paper, we discuss asymptotic infimum coverage probability (ICP) of eight widely used confidence intervals for proportions, including the Agresti–Coull (A–C) interval (Am Stat 52:119–126, 1998) and the Clo...

Convex analysis in the semiparametric model with Bernstein polynomials
In this paper, we propose Bernstein polynomial estimation for the partially linear model when the nonparametric component is subject to convex (or concave) constraint. We employ a nested sequence of Bernstein ...

Modern modes of provenance and dispersal of terrigenous sediments in the North Pacific and Bering Sea: implications and perspectives for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions
During expedition 202 aboard the RV Sonne in 2009, 39 seafloor surface sediment sites were sampled over a wide sector of the North Pacific and adjoining Bering Sea. The data served to infer land–ocean linkages...

Open AccessRole of E-type prostaglandin receptor EP3 in the vasoconstrictor activity evoked by prostacyclin in thromboxane-prostanoid receptor deficient mice
Prostacyclin, also termed as prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), evokes contraction in vessels with limited expression of the prostacyclin receptor. Although the thromboxane-prostanoid receptor (TP) is proposed to mediate s...
