The ever-increasing volume and accessibility of remote sensing data has spawned many
alternative approaches for mapping important environmental features and processes. For …

We consider the problem of nonparametric regression under shape constraints. The main
examples include isotonic regression (with respect to any partial order), unimodal/convex …

Statistical models defined by shape constraints are a valuable alternative to parametric
models or nonparametric models defined in terms of quantitative smoothness constraints …

We study generalized additive models, with shape restrictions (eg monotonicity, convexity
and concavity) imposed on each component of the additive prediction function. We show …

This paper introduces a new methodology for the estimation of production functions
satisfying some classical production theory axioms, such as monotonicity and concavity …

National monitoring of forestlands and the processes causing canopy cover loss, be they
abrupt or gradual, partial or stand clearing, temporary (disturbance) or persisting …

We present a new methodology for fitting nonparametric shape‐restricted regression splines
to time series of Landsat imagery for the purpose of modeling, mapping, and monitoring …

It is common to evaluate a set of items by soliciting people to rate them. For example,
universities ask students to rate the teaching quality of their instructors, and conference …

This paper analyzes customer product-choice behavior based on the recency and frequency
of each customer's page views on e-commerce sites. Recently, we devised an optimization …

New technological advances have made possible the recent development of automated and
connected vehicles. However, there are still challenges to overcome. For example …
