NIST statisticians recently devised an innovative regression slope estimator based on an artificial neural network (ANN). This project will extend this ANN-based method of estimation into different ...

A novel hierarchical quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping method using a polynomial growth function and a multiple-QTL model (with no dependence in time) in a multitrait framework is presented. The ...

A generalization of the common logistic function is developed, incorporating a non-unit saturation level, a non-zero intercept, and a non-symmetric shape. The dependence of the three generalized ...

Intuition suggests that altering the covariance structure of a parametric model for repeated-measures data alters the variances of the model's estimated mean parameters. The purpose of this article is ...
