We are grateful to the authors for the excellent review of the literature in this active area. Besides the progress mentioned by the authors, we would like to discuss some additional development in this interesting area. Specifically, we focus on the balance of communication cost and the statistical efficiency of divide-and-conquer (DC) type estimators in linear discriminant analysis and hypothesis testing. It is seen that the DC approach has different behaviours in these problems, which is different from that in estimation problems. Furthermore, we discuss some issues on the statistical inferences under restricted communication budgets.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"6 1","pages":"108 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46176137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The predictive power is an important measure of the practical utility of a proposed trial, and it is better than the classical statistical power in giving a good indication of the probability that the trial will demonstrate a positive or statistically significant outcome. In addition to the four predictive powers with historical and interim data available in the literature and summarized in Table 1, we discover and calculate another four predictive powers also summarized in Table 1, for one-sided hypotheses. Moreover, we calculate eight predictive powers summarized in Table 2, for the reversed hypotheses. The combination of the two tables gives us a complete picture of the predictive powers with historical and interim data for futility and efficacy analysis. Furthermore, the eight predictive powers with historical and interim data are utilized to guide the futility analysis in the tamoxifen example. Finally, extensive simulations have been conducted to investigate the sensitivity analysis of priors, sample sizes, interim result and interim time on different predictive powers.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"6 1","pages":"277 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49302617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the high dimension can potentially increase the complexity of the covariance structure, comparing the covariance matrices among populations is strongly motivated in high-dimensional data analysis. In this article, we consider the proportionality test of two high-dimensional covariance matrices, where the data dimension is potentially much larger than the sample sizes, or even larger than the squares of the sample sizes. We devise a novel high-dimensional spatial rank test that has much-improved power than many existing popular tests, especially for the data generated from some heavy-tailed distributions. The asymptotic normality of the proposed test statistics is established under the family of elliptically symmetric distributions, which is a more general distribution family than the normal distribution family, including numerous commonly used heavy-tailed distributions. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed test in terms of both empirical size and power. Then, a real data analysis demonstrates the practicability of the proposed test for high-dimensional gene expression data.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"6 1","pages":"161 - 174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43264799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These topics are traditionally taught in disparate courses, making it hard for data science or computer science students, or professionals, to efficiently learn the mathematics. This self-contained textbook bridges the gap between mathematical and machine learning texts, introducing the mathematical concepts with a minimum of prerequisites. It uses these concepts to derive four central machine learning methods: linear regression, principal component analysis, Gaussian mixture models and support vector machines. For students and others with a mathematical background, these derivations provide a starting point to machine learning texts. For those learning the mathematics for the first time, the methods help build intuition and practical experience with applying mathematical concepts. Every chapter includes worked examples and exercises to test understanding. Programming tutorials are offered on the book's web site. This textbook considers statistical learning applications when interest centers on the conditional distribution of a response variable, given a set of predictors, and in the absence of a credible model that can be specified before the data analysis begins. Consistent with modern data analytics, it emphasizes that a proper statistical learning data analysis depends in an integrated fashion on sound data collection, intelligent data management, appropriate statistical procedures, and an","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"6 1","pages":"87 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42115335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similar to empirical likelihood (EL), it still suffers from two drawbacks: the non-definition problem of the likelihood function and the under-coverage probability of confidence region. To overcome these two problems, we further proposed the adjusted ET (AET) likelihood. With a specific adjustment level, our simulation studies indicate that the AET method achieves a higher-order coverage precision than the unadjusted ET method. In addition, due to the good performance of ET under moment model misspecification [Schennach, S. M. (2007). Point estimation with exponentially tilted empirical likelihood. The Annals of Statistics, 35(2), 634–672. https://doi.org/10.1214/009053606000001208], we show that the one-order property of point estimate is preserved for the misspecified spectral estimating equations of the autoregressive coefficient of AR(1). The simulation results illustrate that the point estimates of the ET outperform those of the EL and their hybrid in terms of standard deviation. A real data set is analyzed for illustration purpose.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"6 1","pages":"254 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44094075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The models developed in the existing literature usually assume that the state of the system varies over time depending on the values of n and k and the state of the system is known. Since the system reliability will vary over time, it is of great interest to analyse the time-dependent system reliability. In this paper, we develop a novel and simple method that utilizes the eigenvalues of the transition rate matrix of the system for the computation of time-dependent system reliability when the system state is known. In addition, the transition performance probabilities of the system from a known state to the possible states are also analysed. Computational results are presented to illustrate the applicability and accuracy of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"6 1","pages":"139 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44643166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
