聚类数据稳健估计的自助推断AI 解读

In mixed models, the use of robust estimates raises several interesting inferential challenges. One of these challenges arises from the realization that the effect of contamination is to increase the variability in the data, but robust estimates of variance components are usually smaller than their nonrobust counterparts. The robust estimates reflect the variability of the bulk of the data, which is not the same as the variability in the data-generating process. This means…

聚类数据的自助法AI 解读

Summary Various bootstraps have been proposed for bootstrapping clustered data from one-way arrays. The simulation results in the literature suggest that some of these methods work quite well in practice; the theoretical results are limited and more mixed in their conclusions. For example, McCullagh reached negative conclusions about the use of non-parametric bootstraps for one-way arrays. The purpose of this paper is to extend our understanding of the issues by discussing…

边际尾概率近似与标量参数推断AI 解读

In many situations, inference for a scalar parameter in the presence of nuisance parameters requires integration of either a joint density of pivotal quantities or a joint posterior density. For such inference, accurate approximations of marginal tail probabilities are useful to avoid high-dimensional integrals. Two tail probability approximations are developed in this paper. Numerical results given for conditional inference in location-scale and linear regression models…
