PGEE: An R Package for Analysis of Longitudinal Data with High-Dimensional Covariates

We introduce an R package PGEE that implements the penalized generalized estimating equations (GEE) procedure proposed byWang et al. (2012) to analyze longitudinal data with a large number of covariates. The PGEE package includes three main functions: CVfit, PGEE, and MGEE. The CVfit function computes the cross-validated tuning parameter for penalized generalized estimating equations. The function PGEE performs simultaneous estimation and variable selection for longitudinal data with high-dimensional covariates; whereas the function MGEE fits unpenalized GEE to the data for comparison. The R package PGEE is illustrated using a yeast cell-cycle gene expression data set.

Local operator spaces, unbounded operators and multinormed C*-algebras
Dosiev, Anar (Elsevier BV, 2008-10-01)
In this paper we propose a representation theorem for local operator spaces which extends Ruan's representation theorem for operator spaces. Based upon this result, we introduce local operator systems which are locally convex versions of the operator systems and prove Stinespring theorem for local operator systems. A local operator C*-algebra is an example of a local operator system. Finally, we investigate the injectivity in both local operator space and local operator system senses, and prove locally conv...
Recent results on Bayesian Cramér-Rao bounds for jump Markov systems
Fritsche, Carsten; Orguner, Umut; Svensson, Lennart; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2016-07-08)
In this paper, recent results on the evaluation of the Bayesian Cramer-Rao bound for jump Markov systems are presented. In particular, previous work is extended to jump Markov systems where the discrete mode variable enters into both the process and measurement equation, as well as where it enters exclusively into the measurement equation. Recursive approximations are derived with finite memory requirements as well as algorithms for checking the validity of these approximations are established. The tightnes...
Integral manifolds of differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type
Akhmet, Marat (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-15)
In this paper we introduce a general type of differential equations with piecewise constant argument (EPCAG). The existence of global integral manifolds of the quasilinear EPCAG is established when the associated linear homogeneous system has an exponential dichotomy. The smoothness of the manifolds is investigated. The existence of bounded and periodic solutions is considered. A new technique of investigation of equations with piecewise argument, based on an integral representation formula, is proposed. Ap...
Stability analysis of recurrent neural networks with piecewise constant argument of generalized type
Akhmet, Marat; Yılmaz, Elanur (2010-09-01)
In this paper, we apply the method of Lyapunov functions for differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type to a model of recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The model involves both advanced and delayed arguments. Sufficient conditions are obtained for global exponential stability of the equilibrium point. Examples with numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.
Signaling Games for Log-Concave Distributions: Number of Bins and Properties of Equilibria
Kazikli, Ertan; Sarıtaş, Serkan; GEZİCİ, Sinan; Linder, Tamas; Yuksel, Serdar (2022-03-01)
We investigate the equilibrium behavior for the decentralized cheap talk problem for real random variables and quadratic cost criteria in which an encoder and a decoder have misaligned objective functions. In prior work, it has been shown that the number of bins in any equilibrium has to be countable, generalizing a classical result due to Crawford and Sobel who considered sources with density supported on [0, 1]. In this paper, we first refine this result in the context of log-concave sources. For sources ...
