title: Dataset for: Non-Gaussian Autoregressive Processes with Tukey g-and-h Transformations

description: When performing a time series analysis of continuous data, for example from climate or environmental problems, the assumption that the process is Gaussian is often violated. Therefore, we introduce two non-Gaussian autoregressive time series models that are able to fit skewed and heavy-tailed time series data. Our two models are based on the Tukey g-and-h transformation. We discuss parameter estimation, order selection, and forecasting procedures for our models and examine their performances in a simulation study. We demonstrate the usefulness of our models by applying them to two sets of wind speed data.

title: Functional Diversity Plays a Role in Driving Beta-Diversity-Or Does It?

description: Patrick and Brown (2018) suggest that functional diversity of the species pool has an important role in generating beta-diversity. Using a combination of path analysis and model selection, they ostensibly provide support for this hypothesis; however, they neglect to put theory and modeling into statistical and ecological context. Importantly, they present results that are not reproducible. Here, I present a re-analysis of their data with alternative hypotheses. I conclude that the drivers of beta-diversity are variable, with functional diversity typically having a reduced, if any, role compared to consistently stronger roles played by gamma-diversity or environmental variation on structuring beta-diversity.<br><br><br>Here I provided the data associated with the re-analysis.

description: PULSE builds on the latest Performance API (PAPI) project and extends it with software-defined events (SDE) that originate from the HPC software stack and are currently treated as black boxes (i.e., communication libraries, math libraries, task-based runtime systems, applications).<br>The objective is to enable monitoring of both types of performance events---hardware- and software-related events---in a uniform way, through one consistent PAPI interface. Therefore, 3rd-party tools and application developers have to handle only a single hook to PAPI to access all hardware performance counters in a system, including the new software-defined events.<br>

title: Choosing Prior Hyperparameters: With Applications To Time-Varying Parameter Models

description: Time-varying parameter models with stochastic volatility are widely used to study macroeconomic and financial data. These models are almost exclusively estimated using Bayesian methods. A common practice is to focus on prior distributions that themselves depend on relatively few hyperparameters such as the scaling factor for the prior covariance matrix of the residuals governing time variation in the parameters. The choice of these hyperparameters is crucial because their influence is sizeable for standard sample sizes. In this paper we treat the hyperparameters as part of a hierarchical model and propose a fast, tractable, easy-to-implement, and fully Bayesian approach to estimate those hyperparameters jointly with all other parameters in the model. We show via Monte Carlo simulations that, in this class of models, our approach can <i>drastically</i> improve on using fixed hyperparameters previously proposed in the literature.

title: Using Individual Factor Information in Fractional Factorial Designs

description: While literature on constructing efficient experimental designs has been plentiful, how best to incorporate prior information when assigning factors to the columns of a nonregular design has received little attention. Following Li, Zhou, and Zhang (2015), we propose the individual generalized word length pattern (iGWLP) for ranking columns of a nonregular design. Taking examples from the literature of recommended orthogonal arrays, we illustrate how iGWLP helps to identify important differences in the aliasing that is likely otherwise missed. Given the complexity of characterizing partial aliasing for nonregular designs, iGWLP will help practitioners make more informed assignment of factors to columns when using nonregular fractions. We provide theoretical justification of the proposed iGWLP. A theorem is given to relate the proposed iGWLP criterion to the expected bias caused by model misspecifications. We also show that the proposed criterion may lead to designs having better projection properties in the factors considered most likely to be important. Furthermore, we discuss how iGWLP can be used for design selection. We propose a criterion for choosing best designs when the focus is on a small set of important factors, for which the aliasing of effects involving these factors is minimized.

title: Sliced rotated sphere packing designs

description: Space-filling designs are popular choices for computer experiments. A sliced design is a design that can be partitioned into several subdesigns. We propose a new type of sliced space-filling design called sliced rotated sphere packing designs. Their full designs and subdesigns are rotated sphere packing designs. They are constructed by rescaling, rotating, translating and extracting the points from a sliced lattice. We provide two fast algorithms to generate such designs. Furthermore, we propose a strategy to use sliced rotated sphere packing designs adaptively. Under this strategy, initial runs are uniformly distributed in the design space, follow-up runs are added by incorporating information gained from initial runs, and the combined design is space-filling for any local region. Examples are given to illustrate its potential application.

title: Peaks Over Thresholds Modeling With Multivariate Generalized Pareto Distributions

description: When assessing the impact of extreme events, it is often not just a single component, but the combined behavior of several components which is important. Statistical modeling using multivariate generalized Pareto (GP) distributions constitutes the multivariate analogue of univariate peaks over thresholds modeling, which is widely used in finance and engineering. We develop general methods for construction of multivariate GP distributions and use them to create a variety of new statistical models. A censored likelihood procedure is proposed to make inference on these models, together with a threshold selection procedure, goodness-of-fit diagnostics, and a computationally tractable strategy for model selection. The models are fitted to returns of stock prices of four UK-based banks and to rainfall data in the context of landslide risk estimation. Supplementary materials and codes are available online.

title: New Information on the osteology and a taxonomic revision of The genus <i>Thalassodromeus</i> (Pterodactyloidea, Tapejaridae, Thalassodrominae)

description: <i>Thalassodromeus sethi</i> (Pterodactyloidea, Tapejaridae, Thalassodrominae) is a unique pterosaur from the Romualdo Formation, Araripe Basin (Early Cretaceous, Albian). A large sagittal cranial crest (the largest known ossified crest of any pterosaur) and unusual toothless bladed jaws constitute some of its outstanding anatomical features. Its holotype (DGM 1476-R, almost complete skull and mandible in three dimensions) represents one of the largest pterosaur skulls ever found. Here, we provide a detailed osteological redescription of the holotype, which has only been preliminarily described. We also describe and depict for the first time some skeletal regions of <i>Th. sethi</i>, including the occiput, the palatal openings, and a dentary fragment. Finally, in the light of new information concerning this species, we revisited the specimen NMSG SAO 251093 (an incomplete mandible), also from the Romualdo Formation and originally referred to <i>Th. sethi</i> but recently redescribed as a new species of dsungaripterid pterosaur named <i>Banguela oberlii</i>. Here, the analysis of a cast (MN 4703-V) and its inclusion in a phylogenetic analysis recovered NMSG SAO 251093 within the Thalassodrominae, as a sister taxon of <i>Th. sethi</i> and indeed different from it at the species level. We hereby rename it <i>Thalassodromeus oberlii</i>, comb. nov. These considerations provide new data for discussions concerning the morphology of the Tapejaridae, the diversity of the Araripe pterosaur fauna, and the complex evolution of the pterodactyloid palatal region, as well as data for future morphofunctional studies of <i>Thalassodromeus</i>.
