New Inference Procedures for Semiparametric Varying-Coefficient Partially Linear Cox Models by Yunbei Ma, Xuan Luo

“…In biomedical research, one major objective is to identify risk factors and study their risk impacts, as this identification can help clinicians to both properly make a decision and increase efficiency of treatments and resource allocation. A two-step penalized-based procedure is proposed to select linear regression coefficients for linear components and to identify significant nonparametric varying-coefficient functions for semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear Cox models. …”

A Comparative Study of Fractal Models Applied to Artificial and Natural Data by Gil Silva, Fernando Pellon de Miranda, Mateus Michelon, Ana Ovídio, Felipe Venturelli, João Parêdes, João Ferreira, Letícia Moraes, Flávio Barbosa, Alexandre Cury

“…Computational efficiency analysis revealed that methods with linear or logarithmic complexity, such as Persistence and Compass, are most suited for larger datasets, while methods like DFA and Dynamic Fractal Approaches required higher computational resources. This study provides an original comparative study for researchers to select appropriate fractal analysis techniques based on dataset characteristics and computational limitations.…”
