The problem of estimating a binomial proportion constrained to lie in an interval of the form [<i>a,b</i>] "not equal to" [0,1] is considered. The minimax ...

Although airlines plan aircraft routes and crew schedules in advance, perturbations occur everyday. As a result, flight schedules may become infeasible and ...

A data set on categories of congenital heart malformations for sibling pairs (with different malformations) of Fraser and Hunter (1975) is analyzed exactly ...

The spatially inhomogeneous smoothness of nonparametric methods is often modelled by Besov and Triebel-type smoothness constraints. For such problems, Donoh...
