14:00 - 15:00
308, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)The asymptotic expansion of the projection of the Szego kernel has been approached in different methods. In this talk, we will study the Tian-Yau-Zeldtich expansion based on Lu?s set-up. I will also talk about the result of my reason work on Riemann surfaces with constant curvature.

Model Selection in Regression Analysis: Classical Development
Prof. Hung Chen ( Department of Mathematics, National Taiwan University )2008 - 09 - 19 (Fri.)
15:30 - 17:00
405, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)Due to rapid development in large dimensional data acquisitions such as microarray, scientists look for useful methods on predicting a quantitative measurement when number of predictors p is much greater than n, the sample size. In this talk, we will present classical approaches in model selection through estimated prediction error for linear regression analysis when n is much larger than p. In particular, we discuss Mallows’ Cp (AIC), BIC, and cross-validation.In addition, we address the selection of penalty for ridge regression which no longer gives unbiased estimators of regression coefficients. This leads us to next week’s discussion on model selection with p is greater than n.

An overview of "Functional Convex Averaging and Synchronization for Time-Warped Random Curve" by Liu and Muller (2004)2008 - 09 - 09 (Tue.)
13:30 - 15:00
308, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)When the dynamics of regulatory processes over time are at issue, data can be described as a sample of curve in science and engineering. For functional data where trajectories may be individually time-transformed, it is usually inadequate to use commonly used sample statistics, such as the cross-sectional mean or cross-sectional sample variance, and the usual L2 metric. Curve registration is a statistical method to find a suitable overall structural representation. Liu and Muller (2004) proposed a time warping model including random time-synchronizing maps and concepts of functional calculus. The observed curves are assumed to be generated by a latent bivariate stochastic process, where one component corresponds to the random time warping function and the other component corresponds to a random amplitude function. An overview of the paper “Functional Convex Averaging and Synchronization for Time-Warped Random Curve” by Liu and Muller (2004) is given in this talk.

Potential sampling bias of regression models and evolving population models
Ms. Yibi Huang ( Department of Statistics, University of Chicago, USA )2008 - 08 - 26 (Tue.)
13:30 - 15:00
308, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)In a regression model, the joint distributionfor each finite sample of units is determined by a function f x(y) depending only on the list of covariate values x = (x(u 1), x(u 2),...,x(u n)) on the sampled units (u 1,u 2,...,u n). Often it is implicitly assumed that the population is fixed. However, in biological work, random population is usually unavoidable, in which case the joint distribution p(y,x) depends on the sampling scheme. The conditional distribution p(y|x) might not agree with p x(y), the distribution of y in a fixed sample with a non-random configuration x. A model that avoids the concept of a fixed populaon of units is proposed. In this model, the sampling distribution of (x, y)will very with the sampling plan. For some specific sampling scheme, the sampling distribution agrees with the standard logistic model with correlated components. For others the conditional distribution p(y|x) is not the sample as the regression distribution unless p x(y) has independent components.

Review of the paper “Analysis of interval-censored longitudinal data with application to onco-haematology”2008 - 08 - 12 (Tue.)
13:30 - 15:00
308, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)An overview of the paper “Analysis of interval-censored longitudinal data with application to onco-haematology” by Paola De Lorenzo , Robin Henderson and Maria Grazia Valsecchi(2005) is given. The presence of minimal residual disease (MRD) following therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been shown to be an important prognostic marker in many studies. However, it is not yet clear how information on MRD can be applied to treatment more. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between MRD and the disease process. They propose a linear mixed model with a Gaussian process that allows for interval-censored data and can be used both to track the biomarker trajectory and to estimate the probability of relapse occurrence.
