Important applications include semiparametric linear regression with censored responses and semiparametric regression predictors. Unlike the existing penalized maximum likelihood estimators, the ...

The problem of Taylor's series is therefore to deduce from a knowledge of the coefficients the behaviour of the function.

Estimates are derived for the derivatives of the stresses in thin shells and plates of variable thickness acted upon by relatively arbitrary body and surface forces. It is assumed that the strains and ...
