One of the principal goals in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is the detection of local activation in the human brain. However, lack of statistical power and inflated false positive rates ...

Estimation methods form the backbone of statistical inference, allowing researchers to infer unknown parameters from observed data. Classical approaches include the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), ...

Over the past several decades, multiple statistical methods have been developed to infer the existence and magnitude of causal effects by analyzing observational data. These methods have been widely ...

In the 21st century, we have seen a growing availability of shape-valued and imaging data, prompting the development of new statistical methods to analyze them. Importantly, bridging the new methods ...

Our foray into causal analysis is not yet complete. Until we define the methods of causal inference, we can't get to the deeper insights that causal analysis can provide. This article details many of ...

If program staff suspects you may have used AI tools to complete assignments in ways not explicitly authorized or suspect other violations of the honor code, they will contact you via email. Be sure ...
