Information and asymptotic efficiency of the case-cohort sampling design in Cox's regression model

Efficiencies of the maximum pseudolikelihood estimator and a number of related estimators for the case-cohort sampling design in the proportional hazards regression model are studied. The asymptotic information and lower bound for estimating the parametric regression parameter are calculated based on the effective score, which is obtained by determining the component of the parametric score orthogonal to the space generated by the infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter. The asymptotic distributions of the maximum pseudolikelihood and related estimators in an i.i.d. setting show that these estimators do not achieve the computed asymptotic lower bound. Simple guidelines are provided to determine in which instances such estimators are close enough to efficient for practical purposes.     

Simultaneous Pseudo-Timestepping for PDE-Model Based Optimization Problems

In this paper we present a new method for the solution of optimization problems with PDE constraints. It is based on simultaneous pseudo-time stepping for evolution equations. The new method can be viewed as a continuous reduced SQP method in the sense that it uses a preconditioner derived from that method. The reduced Hessian in the preconditioner is approximated by a pseudo-differential operator, whose symbol can be investigated analytically. We apply our method to a boundary control model problem. The new optimization method needs 3.2-times the overall computational effort of the solution of simulation problem alone.

Cyclic BSEC of block size 3

Balanced sampling plans excluding contiguous units (or BSEC) were first introduced by Hedayat, Rao and Stufken in 1988. In this note, we discuss constructions of these designs having cyclic automorphisms. We use Langford sequences to construct all possible cyclic BSEC (or CBSEC) with block size 3 and λ = 1,2, which establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for such designs. Some constructions of the balanced sampling plan avoiding adjacent units, a generalization of BSEC, are also given for fixed λ.

从结构电算谈设计概念

使用计算机进行结构设计虽然能大大减轻计算工作量，但不能取代人的设计概念，只有在设计人员具备较全面的设计概念；有一定设计经验；同时深入了解程度的情况下，才能确保工程设计的质量。     

On the connectedness of partially balanced block designs

The necessary and sufficient conditions for m-associate partially balanced block (PBB) designs to be connected are given. This generalizes the criterion for m-associate partially balanced incomplete block (PBIB) designs, which has originally been established by Ogawa, Ikeda and Kageyama (1984, Proceedings of the Seminar on Combinatorics and Applications, 248–255, Statistical Publishing Society, Calcutta).This work was partially supported by the Polish Academy of Sciences Grant No. MR I.1-2/2.     

Sampled-data minimumH ∞-norm regulation of linear continuous-time systems using multirate-output controllers

This paper deals with the problem of designing multirate-output contrlleers for sampled-dataH -optimal control of linear continuous-time systems. Two formulations of the problem are studied. In the first, the intersample behavior of the disturbance and the controlled output signals is not considered, whereas in the second the continuous-time nature of these signals is taken into account. It is shown that, in both cases and unter appropriate conditions, it is plausible to reduce the repective initial problem to an associated discrete-timeH -optimization problem for which a fictitious static state feedback controller is to be designed. This fact has a beneficial influence on the theoretical and numerical complexity of the problem, since only one algebraic Riccati equation is to be solved here, as compared to two algebraic Riccati equations needed in known techniques concerning theH -optimization problem with dynamic measurement feedback.The work described in this paper has been partially funded by the General Secretariat for Research and Technology of the Greek Ministry of Industry, Research, and Technology and by the Heracles General Cement Company of Greece.     

Design considerations and computer modeling related to the development of molecular scaffolds and peptide mimetics for combinatorial chemistry

Summary A critical issue in drug discovery utilizing combinatorial chemistry as part of the discovery process is the choice of scaffolds to be used for a proper presentation, in a three-dimensional space, of the critical elements of structure necessary for molecular recognition (binding) and information transfer (agonist/ antagonist). In the case of polypeptide ligands, considerations related to the properties of various backbone structures (-helix, -sheets, etc.; , space) and those related to three-dimensional presentation of side-chain moieties (topography; (chi) space) must be addressed, although they often present quite different elements in the molecular recognition puzzle. We have addressed aspects of this problem by examining the three-dimensional structures of chemically different scaffolds at various distances from the scaffold to evaluate their putative diversity. We find that chemically diverse scaffolds can readily become topographically similar. We suggest a topographical approach involving design in chi space to deal with these problems.
