The purpose of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) is to foster the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability. The Institute was formed at a ...

Linear mixed models (LMMs) serve as a versatile statistical framework, combining fixed effects that capture the overall trends with random effects that account for variability across subjects, ...

Solutions are derived to three various versions of the problem of when the dispersion matrix of the best linear unbiased estimator of the expectation vector in the general Gauss-Markov model can be ...

The MAP estimator form is used for the estimation of random parameters whereas the maximum-likelihood (ML) form is generally associated with the estimation of deterministic parameters. From Bayes Rule ...
