EM Estimation of the B-Spline Copula with Penalized Pseudo-Likelihood Functions Open
The B-spline copula function is defined by a linear combination of elements of the normalized B-spline basis. We develop a modified EM algorithm, to maximize the penalized pseudo-likelihood function, wherein we use the smoothly clipped abs…

Bell Numbers in Matsunaga's and Arima's Genjikō Combinatorics: Modern Perspectives and Local Limit Theorems Open
We examine and clarify in detail the contributions of Yoshisuke Matsunaga (1694?-1744) to the computation of Bell numbers in the eighteenth century (in the Edo period), providing modern perspectives to some unknown materials that are by fa…

An identity for two integral transforms applied to the uniqueness of a distribution via its Laplace–Stieltjes transform Open
It is well known that the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of a nonnegative random\nvariable (or random vector) uniquely determines its distribution function. We\nextend this uniqueness theorem by using the Muntz-Szasz Theorem and the\nidentity…

Dependence Properties of B-Spline Copulas Open
We construct by using B-spline functions a class of copulas that includes the Bernstein copulas arising in Baker's distributions. The range of correlation of the B-spline copulas is examined, and the Frechet--Hoeffding upper bound is prove…

Functional clustering of mouse ultrasonic vocalization data Open
Mouse ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) are studied in many fields of science. However, various noise and varied USV patterns in observed signals make complete automatic analysis difficult. We improve several methods to reduce noise, detect …
