whose unique solution φ̂1, . . . , φ̂p and σ̂2 forms the well-known YW estimator that is is asymptotically efficient in the context of a Gaussian AR series. Nevertheless, the YW estimator loses its asymptotic efficiency under a non-Gaussian distributional assumption; see e.g. Sengupta and Kay (1989). In what follows, we describe a simple estimation algorithm for AR model fitting; it is not a fast ...

Abstract Introduction Gender affirming surgery (GAS) has seen dramatic advances in phalloplasty and vaginoplasty for gender dysphoria. However, there is still need better characterization of patient demographics surgical outcomes. Recent interest emerged predictors post-surgical complications, such as frailty comorbidities preoperative risk assessment. Better understanding factors predicting ou...

Let S denote a set of k-dimensional boxes each having integral sides. Let I'(S) denote the set or all boxes which can be filled completely with translates of elements of S . It is shown here that S contains a finite subset B such that l?(B) = I'(S) . This result was proved for k = 1,2 in an earlier paper, but the proof for k > 2 contained an error. This research was supported in part by the Nat...
