CONVERGENCE RATE OF PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS WITH LOCAL-LINEAR SMOOTHER FOR FUNCTIONAL DATA UNDER A UNIFIED WEIGHING SCHEME

Convergence rate of principal component analysis with local-linear smoother for functional data under a unified weighing scheme

The unified weighing scheme for the local-linear smoother in analysing functional data can deal with data that are dense, sparse or of neither type.In this paper, we focus on the convergence rate of functional principal component analysis using this method.Almost sure asymptotic consistency and rates of convergence for the estimators of eigenvalues

Blast Exposure Dysregulates Nighttime Melatonin Synthesis and Signaling in the Pineal Gland: A Potential Mechanism of Blast-Induced Sleep Disruptions

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) frequently results in sleep-wake disturbances.However, limited studies have investigated the molecular signaling mechanisms underlying these sleep disturbances, and potentially efficacious therapies are lacking.We investigated the levels of melatonin and genes Cleaners involved in melatonin synthesis path
