• Analysis of interval‐grouped data in weed science: The binnednp Rcpp package 

      Barreiro-Ures, Daniel; Francisco-Fernández, Mario; Cao, Ricardo; Fraguela, Basilio B.; Doallo, Ramón; González-Andújar, José Luis; Reyes, Miguel (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019-09-13)
      [Abstract] Weed scientists are usually interested in the study of the distribution and density functions of the random variable that relates weed emergence with environmental indices like the hydrothermal time (HTT). ...
    • Bandwidth Selection for Prediction in Regression 

      Barbeito, Inés; Cao, Ricardo; Sperlich, Stefan (M D P I AG, 2019-08-05)
      [Abstract] There exist many different methods to choose the bandwidth in kernel regression. If, however, the target is regression based prediction for samples or populations with potentially different distributions, then ...
    • Bandwidth selection for statistical matching and prediction 

      Barbeito Cal, Inés; Cao, Ricardo; Sperlich, Stephan (Springer, 2022)
      [Abstract]: While there exist many bandwidth selectors for estimation, bandwidth selection for statistical matching and prediction has hardly been studied so far. We introduce a computationally attractive selector for ...
    • Nonparametric Inference in Mixture Cure Models 

      López-Cheda, Ana; Cao, Ricardo; Jácome, M. A.; Keilegom, Ingrid Van (MDPI, 2018-09)
      [Abstract]: A completely nonparametric method for the estimation of mixture cure models is proposed. Nonparametric estimators for the cure probability (incidence) and for the survival function of the uncured population ...
    • Nonparametric latency estimation for mixture cure models 

      López-Cheda, Ana; Jácome, M. A.; Cao, Ricardo (Springer Nature, 2017-06)
      [Abstract]: A nonparametric latency estimator for mixture cure models is studied in this paper. An i.i.d. representation is obtained, the asymptotic mean squared error of the latency estimator is found, and its asymptotic ...
