利用平滑阈值估计方程自动选择变量AI 解读

This paper develops smooth-threshold estimating equations that can automatically eliminate irrelevant parameters by setting them as zero. The resulting estimator enjoys the oracle property in the sense of Fan & Li (2001), even in estimators for which the covariance assumption of Wang & Leng (2007) is violated, such as the Buckley--James estimator. Furthermore, the estimator can be obtained without solving a convex optimization problem. A bic -type criterion for tuning…

估计式预测限的调整AI 解读

This note presents a direct adjustment of the estimative prediction limit to reduce the coverage error from a target value to third-order accuracy. The adjustment is asymptotically equivalent to those of Barndorff-Nielsen & Cox (1994, 1996) and Vidoni (1998). It has a simpler form with a plug-in estimator of the coverage probability of the estimative limit at the target value.
