惩罚经验似然与维度增长的一般估计方程AI 解读

When a parametric likelihood function is not specified for a model, estimating equations may provide an instrument for statistical inference. Qin and Lawless (1994) illustrated that empirical likelihood makes optimal use of these equations in inferences for fixed low-dimensional unknown parameters. In this paper, we study empirical likelihood for general estimating equations with growing high dimensionality and propose a penalized empirical likelihood approach for parameter…

纵向数据协方差建模中的移动平均 Cholesky 因子模型AI 解读

We propose new regression models for parameterizing covariance structures in longitudinal data analysis. Using a novel Cholesky factor, the entries in this decomposition have a moving average and log-innovation interpretation and are modelled as linear functions of covariates. We propose efficient maximum likelihood estimates for joint mean-covariance analysis based on this decomposition and derive the asymptotic distributions of the coefficient estimates. Furthermore, we…

纵向数据分析中的经验似然与分位数回归AI 解读

We propose a novel quantile regression approach for longitudinal data analysis which naturally incorporates auxiliary information from the conditional mean model to account for within-subject correlations. The efficiency gain is quantified theoretically and demonstrated empirically via simulation studies and the analysis of a real dataset.

大维协方差矩阵估计的前向自适应带状化AI 解读

We propose a simple forward adaptive banding method for estimating large covariance matrices using the modified Cholesky decomposition. This approach requires the fitting of a prespecified set of models due to the adaptive banding structure and can be efficiently implemented. Aside from its computational attractiveness, we propose a novel Bayes information criterion that gives consistent model selection for estimating high dimensional covariance matrices. The method compares…
