- Spike and slab gene selection for multigroup microarray data.
- DNA microarrays can provide insight into genetic changes that characterize different stages of a disease process. Accurate identification of these changes has significant therapeutic and diagnostic implications. Statistical analysis for multistage multigroup data is challenging, however. ANOVA-based extensions of two-sample Z-tests, a popular method for detecting differentially expressed genes in...

- Seeking neutral: controlling charge in auto fuel systems
- The flow of fuel in automotive fuel systems creates a static charge. While this is not a problem if the charge dissipates as it forms, it can become a serious problem if the electrostatic potential builds to the point where arcing occurs. Repeated arcing can pierce a hole through a...

- Degradation mechanism of Ag-epoxy conductive adhesive/Sn-Pb plating interface by heat exposure
- The compatibility between Ag fillers and Sn-Pb plating at elevated temperature was examined by mechanical test, electrical test, and microstructure observation. The degradation at 150 deg C is caused by the preferential diffusion of Sn from the plating layer into Ag in the conductive adhesive. By this diffusion, Ag-Sn intermetallic...

- Regularization of Wavelet Approximations.
- In this paper, we introduce nonlinear regularized wavelet estimators for estimating nonparametric regression functions when sampling points are not uniformly spaced. The approach can apply readily to many other statistical contexts. Various new penalty functions are proposed. The hard-thresholding and soft-thresholding estimators of Donoho and...

- Deterministic/Stochastic Wavelet Decomposition for Recovery of Signal From Noisy Data.
- In a series of recent articles on nonparametric regression, Donoho and Johnstone developed wavelet-shrinkage methods for recovering unknown piecewise-smooth deterministic signals from noisy data. Wavelet shrinkage based on the Bayesian approach involves specifying a prior distribution on the wavelet coefficients, which is usually assumed to ...
