Article
This paper devises a regression-type model for the situation where both the response and covariates are extreme. The proposed approach is designed for the setting where the response and covariates are modeled ...

This paper studies the impact of classical measurement error on a Dependent Dirichlet Process (DDP). Specifically, we study a Simulation-Extrapolation (SIMEX) algorithm, adapted to a nonparametric Bayesian fra...

Article
We introduce a density regression model for the spectral density of a bivariate extreme value distribution, that allows us to assess how extremal dependence can change over a covariate. Inference is performed ...

Maria Ivette Gomes was born July 21, 1948 in Almada, Portugal. After obtaining a BSc in Pure Mathematics in 1970 from the University of Lisbon, Ivette moved in to the University of Sheffield where she complete...
Article
The distribution of linear combinations of independent Gumbel random variables is of great interest for modeling risk and extremes in the most different areas of application. In this paper we develop near-exac...
Chapter
The development of medical diagnostic tests is of great importance in clinical practice, public health, and medical research. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a popular tool for evaluating ...
Chapter
We discuss some typical applications of Bayesian nonparametrics in biostatistics. The chosen applications highlight how Bayesian nonparametrics can contribute to addressing some fundamental questions that aris...
Article
We use several popular tests to test the validity of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) hypothesis. In particular, we analyze four classes of tests—standard univariate unit root tests, co-integration, panel uni...
