Studies of J-curve phenomenon have evolved from the Marshall-Lerner condition to establish a direct link between trade balance and exchange rate. Due to the problem of aggregation bias, empirical studies of the J-curve further evolve from employing aggregate data to bilateral da…
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a lifelong chronic disease affecting about 300,000 Canadians (1% of the population). The complicated treatment pathways and patterns of care for rheumatoid arthritis combined with a high burden of disease make RA a fascinating candidate for testing n…
Fueled in part by recent applications in neuroscience, high-dimensional Hawkes processes are widely used for modeling the network of interactions among multivariate point processes. Despite this popularity, existing methodological and theoretical work has mainly focused on estim…
