‎In this article‎, we use a finite difference technique‎ ‎to solve variable-order fractional integro-differential equations‎ ‎(VOFIDEs‎, ‎for short)‎. ‎In these equations‎, ‎the variable-order fractional integration(VOFI) and‎ ‎variable-order fractional derivative (VOFD) are described in the‎ ‎Riemann-Liouville's and Caputo's sense,respectively‎. ‎Numerical experiments‎, ‎consisting of two exam...

In this paper, we provide a nonparametric estimator of the distribution of bivariate censored lifetimes, in a model where the two censoring variables di er only through an additional observed variable. This situation is motivated by a particular application to insurance, where the supplementary variable corresponds to the age di erence between two individuals. Asymptotic results for our estimat...

Quantile regression provides a more thorough view of the effect of covariates on a response. Nonparametric quantile regression has become a viable alternative to avoid restrictive parametric assumption. The problem of variable selection for quantile regression is challenging, since important variables can influence various quantiles in different ways. We tackle the problem via regularization in...
