Marginalised models, also known as marginally specified models, have recently become a popular tool for analysis of discrete longitudinal data. Despite being a novel statistical methodology, these models introduce complex constraint equations and model fitting algorithms. On the other hand, there is a lack of publicly available software to fit these models. In this paper, we propose a three-level marginalised model for analysis of multivariate longitudinal binary outcome. The implicit function theorem is introduced to approximately solve the marginal constraint equations explicitly. probit link enables direct solutions to the convolution equations. Parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood via a Fisher-Scoring algorithm. A simulation study is conducted to examine the finite-sample properties of the estimator. We illustrate the model with an application to the data set from the Iowa Youth and Families Project. The R package pnmtrem is prepared to fit the model.

One-Bit OFDM Receivers via Deep Learning
Balevi, Eren; Andrews, Jeffrey G. (2019-06-01)
This paper develops novel deep learning-based architectures and design methodologies for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver under the constraint of one-bit complex quantization. Single bit quantization reduces greatly the complexity and power consumption but makes accurate channel estimation and data detection difficult. This is particularly true for multicarrier waveforms that have high peak-to-average power ratio in the time domain and fragile subcarrier orthogonality in the fre...
Improved Image Generation in Normalizing Flows through a Multi-Scale Architecture and Variational Training
Sayın, Deniz; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-8-31)
Generative models have been shown to be able to produce very high fidelity samples in natural image generation tasks in recent years, especially using generative adverserial network and denoising diffusion model based approaches. Normalizing flow models are another class of generative models, which are based on learning invertible mappings between the latent space and the image space. Normalizing flow models possess desirable features such as the ability to perform exact density estimation and simple maximu...
A nonlinear model for amplifiers with memory
Yuzer, Ahmet Hayrettin; Demir, Şimşek (2010-12-20)
In this study an improved behavioral modeling including even order terms is proposed to model asymmetric IMD components observed in the multi-tone excitation of nonlinear amplifiers. Only odd order model (OOM) and even order introduced model (EOM), proposed model, are constructed and compared for a sample amplifier. It is showed that introducing even order term is improved the model validity range and accuracy in addition to the decrease model polinomial order. © 2010 IEEE.
A digital neuron realization for the random neural network model
CERKEZ, CUNEYT; AYBAY, HADİ IŞIK; Halıcı, Uğur (1997-06-12)
In this study the neuron of the random neural network (RNN) model (Gelenbe 1989) is designed using digital circuitry. In the RNN model, each neuron accumulates arriving pulses and can fire if its potential at a given instant of time is strictly positive. Firing occurs at random, the intervals between successive firing instants following an exponential distribution of constant rate. When a neuron fires, it routes the generated pulses to the appropriate output lines in accordance with the connection probabili...
