Linear Mixed Models (LMM) provide a common and convenient framework for the analysis of longitudinal and clustered data by incorporating random effects. The main assumption of classical LMM is having normally distributed random effects and error terms. However, there are several situations in which we need to use more robust distributions rather than (multivariate) normal to handle heavy tailed data or outliers. In this study, we aim to do variable selection in LMM with elliptically distributed random effects and error terms with the goal of more robust parameter estimation and variable selection. Recently, shrinkage methods emerged as efficient variable selection methods and one of the shrinkage methods is adapted into elliptical LMM. Both simulation studies and a real data example show that, if the variable selection is also a concern, it is worthwhile to carry on the variable selection and the parameter estimation simultaneously in elliptical LMM

Variable selection in robust heteroscedastic models with autoregressive covariance structures using EM-type algorithm Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya; GÜNEY, YEŞİM; ARSLAN, OLÇAY (2022-12-19) The joint modeling of location and scatter matrix with multivariate t-distribution provides a valuable extension to the classical approach with normal distribution when the data set under consideration involves outliers or heavy tail outcomes. Variable selection is essential in these models since the covariance model has three models built into it, and the number of unknown parameters grows quadratically with the size of the matrix. The first purpose is to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the para...
Sensitivity analysis with non-locking three node mindlin plate elements Oral, Süha (1998-08-21) A finite element formulation and analytical and semianalytical methods for calculating sensitivity derivatives for static analysis and design problems of Mindlin plate structures are presented. The finite element is the hybrid-stress version of the displacement model element MIN3 by Tessler and Hughes [1]. It is triangular and has a simple nodal configuration with three corner nodes and C-0 type nodal variables. The use of independent field assumptions for displacements and stresses removes the necessity fo...
Algorithm Overview and Design for Mixed Effects Models Koca, Burcu; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2021-06-06) Linear Mixed Model (LMM) is an extended regression method that is used for longitudinal data which has repeated measures within the individual. It is natural to expect high correlation between these repeats over a period of time for the same individual. Since classical approaches may fail to cover these correlations, LMM handles this significant concern by introducing random effect terms in the model. Besides its flexible structure in terms of modeling, LMM has several application areas such as clinical tri...
Learning pattern transformation manifolds for classification Vural, Elif (2013-02-21) Manifold models provide low-dimensional representations that are useful for analyzing and classifying data in a transformation-invariant way. In this paper we study the problem of jointly building multiple pattern transformation manifolds from a collection of image sets, where each set consists of observations from a class of geometrically transformed signals. We build the manifolds such that each manifold approximates a different signal class. Each manifold is characterized by a representative pattern that...
Learning Smooth Pattern Transformation Manifolds Vural, Elif (2013-04-01) Manifold models provide low-dimensional representations that are useful for processing and analyzing data in a transformation-invariant way. In this paper, we study the problem of learning smooth pattern transformation manifolds from image sets that represent observations of geometrically transformed signals. To construct a manifold, we build a representative pattern whose transformations accurately fit various input images. We examine two objectives of the manifold-building problem, namely, approximation a...
