结构化协方差线性模型中的S估计AI 解读

We provide a unified approach to S-estimation in balanced linear models with structured covariance matrices. Of main interest are S-estimators for linear mixed effects models, but our approach also includes S-estimators in several other standard multivariate models, such as multiple regression, multivariate regression and multivariate location and scatter. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of S-functionals and S-estimators, establish asymptotic properties…

空间盲源分离AI 解读

Summary Recently a blind source separation model was suggested for spatial data, along with an estimator based on the simultaneous diagonalization of two scatter matrices. The asymptotic properties of this estimator are derived here, and a new estimator based on the joint diagonalization of more than two scatter matrices is proposed. The asymptotic properties and merits of the novel estimator are verified in simulation studies. A real-data example illustrates application of…

单阶段抽样设计的函数型中心极限定理AI 解读

For a joint model-based and design-based inference, we establish functional central limit theorems for the Horvitz–Thompson empirical process and the Hájek empirical process centered by their finite population mean as well as by their super-population mean in a survey sampling framework. The results apply to single-stage unequal probability sampling designs and essentially only require conditions on higher order correlations. We apply our main results to a Hadamard…

交叉分类抽样下的估计及儿童调查应用AI 解读

The cross-classified sampling design consists in drawing samples from a two-dimensional population, independently in each dimension. Such design is commonly used in consumer price index surveys and has been recently applied to draw a sample of babies in the French Longitudinal Survey on Childhood, by crossing a sample of maternity units and a sample of days. We propose to derive a general theory of estimation for this sampling design. We consider the Horvitz–Thompson…

利用非参数方法高效估计有限总体非线性参数AI 解读

Summary Currently, high precision estimation of non-linear parameters such as Gini indices, low income proportions or other measures of inequality is particularly crucial. We propose a general class of estimators for such parameters that take into account univariate auxiliary information assumed to be known for every unit in the population. Through a non-parametric model-assisted approach, we construct a unique system of survey weights that can be used to estimate any…
