用于企业生存预测的高维删失 MIDAS 逻辑回归AI 解读

This paper addresses the challenge of forecasting corporate distress, a problem marked by three key statistical hurdles: (i) right censoring, (ii) high-dimensional predictors, and (iii) mixed-frequency data. To overcome these complexities, we introduce a novel high-dimensional censored MIDAS (Mixed Data Sampling) logistic regression. Our approach handles censoring through inverse probability weighting and achieves accurate estimation with numerous mixed-frequency predictors…

含治愈比例的删失数据分位数回归AI 解读

Quantile regression is emerging as a valuable statistical tool for exploring complete information on the exposure-outcome relationship. This paper investigates a novel inference procedure for quantile regression models to analyze survival data with a cure fraction. A two-component mixture cure model is used, in which the cure fraction follows a logistic model and the uncured individuals follow a linear quantile regression model. Our main interest lies in the estimation of…

依赖删失生存模型中回归参数的界AI 解读

Abstract We propose a semiparametric model to study the effect of covariates on the distribution of a censored event time while making minimal assumptions about the censoring mechanism. The model is partially identified, and we obtain bounds on the covariate effects which are allowed to be time-dependent. Moreover, these bounds can be interpreted as classical confidence intervals and are obtained by aggregating information in the conditional Peterson bounds over the…

非参数条件前沿与效率估计：一种新方法AI 解读

Summary In production theory, conditional frontiers and conditional efficiency measures are flexible and appealing tools to investigate the role of environmental variables in the production process. Direct approaches estimate non-parametrically conditional distribution functions requiring smoothing techniques and the use of bandwidths. Traditional methods for selecting bandwidths provide bandwidths of orders that may not be optimal for estimating the boundary of the…

依赖删失下基于 Copula 的 Cox 比例风险模型AI 解读

Most existing copula models for dependent censoring in the literature assume that the parameter defining the copula is known. However, prior knowledge on this dependence parameter is often unavailable. In this article we propose a novel model under which the copula parameter does not need to be known. The model is based on a parametric copula model for the relation between the survival time (T) and the censoring time (C), whereas the marginal distributions of T and C follow…

持续时间结果上动态处理效应的工具变量估计AI 解读

This article considers identification and estimation of the causal effect of the time Z until a subject is treated on a duration T. The time-to-treatment is not randomly assigned, T is randomly right censored by a random variable C, and the time-to-treatment Z is right censored by T∧C. The endogeneity issue is treated using an instrumental variable explaining Z and independent of the error term of the model. We study identification in a fully nonparametric framework. We show…

随机右删失下的工具变量分位数回归AI 解读

Summary This paper studies a semiparametric quantile regression model with endogenous variables and random right censoring. The endogeneity issue is solved using instrumental variables. It is assumed that the structural quantile of the logarithm of the outcome variable is linear in the covariates and censoring is independent. The regressors and instruments can be either continuous or discrete. The specification generates a continuum of equations of which the quantile…

具有测量误差的李群非参数回归AI 解读

This paper develops a foundation of methodology and theory for nonparametric regression with Lie group-valued predictors contaminated by measurement errors. Our methodology and theory are based on harmonic analysis on Lie groups, which is largely unknown in statistics. We establish a novel deconvolution regression estimator, and study its rate of convergence and asymptotic distribution. We also provide asymptotic confidence intervals based on the asymptotic distribution of…

右删失持续时间结果的非参数工具变量回归AI 解读

This article analyzes the effect of a discrete treatment Z on a duration T. The treatment is not randomly assigned. The confounding issue is treated using a discrete instrumental variable explaining the treatment and independent of the error term of the model. Our framework is nonparametric and allows for random right censoring. This specification generates a nonlinear inverse problem and the average treatment effect is derived from its solution. We provide local and global…

适用于非参数与半参数回归的参数化 Copula 估计AI 解读

We consider a multivariate response regression model where each coordinate is described by a location-scale non- or semiparametric regression and where the dependence structure of the “noise term” is described by a parametric copula. Our goal is to estimate the associated Euclidean copula parameter, given a sample of the response and the covariate. In the absence of the copula sample, the usual oracle ranks are no longer computable. Instead, we study the normal scores…

随访不足时 Gumbel 最大吸引域分布的治愈比例估计AI 解读

Summary Estimators of the cured proportion from survival data which may include observations on cured subjects can only be expected to perform well when the follow-up period is sufficient. When follow-up is not sufficient, and the survival distribution of those susceptible to the event belongs to the Fréchet maximum domain of attraction, a nonparametric estimator for the cure proportion proposed by Escobar-Bach & Van Keilegom (2019) incorporates an adjustment that reduces…

促进时间治愈模型的一种扩展AI 解读

We consider the problem of estimating the distribution of time-to-event data that is subject to censoring and for which the event of interest might never occur, that is, some subjects are cured. To model this kind of data in the presence of covariates, one of the leading semiparametric models is the promotion time cure model (Stochastic Models of Tumor Latency and Their Biostatistical Applications (1996) World Scientific), which adapts the Cox model to the presence of cured…

非欧几里得响应与预测变量的加性回归AI 解读

Additive regression is studied in a very general setting where both the response and predictors are allowed to be non-Euclidean. The response takes values in a general separable Hilbert space, whereas the predictors take values in general semimetric spaces, which covers a very wide range of nonstandard response variables and predictors. A general framework of estimating additive models is presented for semimetric space-valued predictors. In particular, full details of…

平滑非参数多元混合数据的位置—尺度检验AI 解读

A number of tests have been proposed for assessing the location-scale assumption that is often invoked by practitioners. Existing approaches include Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Cramer–von Mises statistics that each involve measures of divergence between unknown joint distribution functions and products of marginal distributions. In practice, the unknown distribution functions embedded in these statistics are typically approximated using nonsmooth empirical distribution functions…

生存分析中治愈模型的一般方法AI 解读

In survival analysis it often happens that some subjects under study do not experience the event of interest; they are considered to be “cured.” The population is thus a mixture of two subpopulations, one of cured subjects and one of “susceptible” subjects. We propose a novel approach to estimate a mixture cure model when covariates are present and the lifetime is subject to random right censoring. We work with a parametric model for the cure proportion, while the…

两步半参数经验似然推断AI 解读

In both parametric and certain nonparametric statistical models, the empirical likelihood ratio satisfies a nonparametric version of Wilks’ theorem. For many semiparametric models, however, the commonly used two-step (plug-in) empirical likelihood ratio is not asymptotically distribution-free, that is, its asymptotic distribution contains unknown quantities, and hence Wilks’ theorem breaks down. This article suggests a general approach to restore Wilks’ phenomenon in…

对称误差下潜在变量边界的估计AI 解读

Consider the model Y=X+ε with X=τ+Z, where τ is an unknown constant (the boundary of X), Z is a random variable defined on R+, ε is a symmetric error, and ε and Z are independent. Based on an iid sample of Y, we aim at identifying and estimating the boundary τ when the law of ε is unknown (apart from symmetry) and in particular its variance is unknown. We propose an estimation procedure based on a minimal distance approach and by making use of Laguerre polynomials.…

利用极值方法估计随访不足下的非参数治愈率AI 解读

Summary An important research topic in survival analysis is related to the modelling and estimation of the cure rate, i.e. the proportion of subjects who will never experience the event of interest. However, most estimation methods proposed so far in the literature do not handle the case of insufficient follow-up, i.e. when the right end point of the support of the censoring time is strictly less than that of the survival time of the susceptible subjects, and consequently…

删失分位数回归的适配损失函数AI 解读

In this article, we study a novel approach for the estimation of quantiles when facing potential right censoring of the responses. Contrary to the existing literature on the subject, the adopted strategy of this article is to tackle censoring at the very level of the loss function usually employed for the computation of quantiles, the so-called “check” function. For interpretation purposes, a simple comparison with the latter reveals how censoring is accounted for in the…

存在内生性时半参数变换模型的估计AI 解读

We consider a semiparametric transformation model, in which the regression function has an additive nonparametric structure and the transformation of the response is assumed to belong to some parametric family. We suppose that endogeneity is present in the explanatory variables. Using a control function approach, we show that the proposed model is identified under suitable assumptions, and propose a profile estimation method for the transformation. The proposed estimator is…

异方差误差下惩罚分位数回归的野生残差自助推断AI 解读

We consider a heteroscedastic regression model in which some of the regression coefficients are zero but it is not known which ones. Penalized quantile regression is a useful approach for analysing such data. By allowing different covariates to be relevant for modelling conditional quantile functions at different quantile levels, it provides a more complete picture of the conditional distribution of a response variable than mean regression. Existing work on penalized…

依赖数据半参数回归的渐近分布无关检验AI 解读

This article proposes a new general methodology for constructing nonparametric and semiparametric Asymptotically Distribution-Free (ADF) tests for semiparametric hypotheses in regression models for possibly dependent data coming from a strictly stationary process. Classical tests based on the difference between the estimated distributions of the restricted and unrestricted regression errors are not ADF. In this article, we introduce a novel transformation of this difference…

非参数不可分模型中的条件秩估计与外生性检验AI 解读

Consider a nonparametric nonseparable regression model Y = ϕ(Z, U), where ϕ(Z, U) is strictly increasing in U and U ∼ U[0, 1]. We suppose that there exists an instrument W that is independent of U. The observable random variables are Y, Z, and W, all one-dimensional. We construct test statistics for the hypothesis that Z is exogenous, that is, that U is independent of Z. The test statistics are based on the observation that Z is exogenous if and only if V = FY|Z(Y|Z) is…

含测量误差协变量的生存治愈模型：模拟外推推断AI 解读

In many situations in survival analysis, it may happen that a fraction of individuals will never experience the event of interest: they are considered to be cured. The promotion time cure model takes this into account. We consider the case where one or more explanatory variables in the model are subject to measurement error, which should be taken into account to avoid biased estimators. A general approach is the simulation-extrapolation algorithm, a method based on…
