| The method is applied to a hospital graft failure dataset for selecting a nonparametric Fay-Herriot type model. |
| Thus, nonparametric Spearman's ranking correlation matrix can be used to check the correlation of rankings between pairs of techniques. |
| It is only when nonparametric functions are used that the GAM bias is introduced. |
| The GAM issue only affects studies of short-term acute health effects based on nonparametric time-series models. |
| He applied mathematical statistics to economics, using nonparametric methods. |
| When forecast errors are correlated across models, the nonparametric weighting scheme yields the lowest meansquared errors. |
