不规则设计下非线性小波回归的插值方法AI 解读

We introduce interpolation methods that enable nonlinear wavelet estimators to be employed with stochastic design, or nondyadic regular design, in problems of nonparametric regression. This approach allows relatively rapid computation, involving dyadic approximations to wavelet-after-interpolation techniques. New types of interpolation are described, enabling first-order variance reduction at the expense of second-order increases in bias. The effect of interpolation on…

协变量匹配的函数均值差单侧检验AI 解读

When testing hypotheses about the effects of different treatments, variation among covariates can become confounded with that between treatments unless the treatments are applied using paired covariates. In the context of unpaired covariates, we propose implicit covariate-matching methods for testing the hypothesis that one treatment effect is greater than another. The methods are founded on the assumption that the mean treatment effect, conditional on the covariate, is a…

依赖指数半参数估计量收敛速率的说明AI 解读

Considerable recent attention has been devoted to semiparametric estimation of the dependence index, or the Hurst constant, using methods based on information in either frequency or time domains. Convergence rates of estimators in the frequency domain have been derived, and in the present paper we obtain them for estimators in the time domain. It is shown that the latter can have superior performance for moderate-range time series, but are inferior in the context of…

极端尾部概率的估计AI 解读

Applications of extreme value theory to problems of statistical inference typically involve estimating tail probabilities well beyond the range of the data, without the benefit of a concise mathematical model for the sampling distribution. The available model is generally only an asymptotic one. That is, an approximation to probabilities of extreme deviation is supposed, which is assumed to become increasingly accurate as one moves further from the range of the data, but…

非参数回归中适应稀疏设计的插值方法AI 解读

We suggest interpolation methods for overcoming the problem of sparse design in local linear smoothing. These methods are based on simple rules, determined by the kernel and bandwidth, for deciding when and where pseudo-design points should be added to augment the original design sequence. New ordinates for the added design points are computed by simple interpolation, then local linear smoothing is applied directly to the expanded dataset. The method is competitive with…

基于含噪支持函数数据的凸集估计AI 解读

In problems of medical imaging and robotic vision, measurements of a convex set are sometimes obtained via the set's support function. The standard way in which the convex set is recovered from such data is to suppose that it is polygonal, model the errors as Normal random variables, and apply constrained maximum likelihood methods. Typically, the number of sides assumed of the polygon is equal to or a little less than the number of data points. However, from a statistical…

改进非参数回归中的卷积与插值方法AI 解读

Following earlier work of Jones, Davies & Park (1994) we develop estimators based on convolution and interpolation methods, with the aim of reducing their variance and making them competitive with local linear smoothers. We argue that the classic convolution and interpolation approaches due to Gasser & Müller (1979) and Clark (1977) exhibit inflated variance on account of the relatively high variability of weights used in their construction. We show that, by convolving or…

Maximum likelihood estimators for record-value data with a linear trend are quite sensitive to misspecification of the error distribution. Indeed, incorrect choice of that distribution can lead to inconsistent estimation of the intercept parameter and produce estimators of slope that do not enjoy the asymptotic convergence rate prescribed by the information matrix. These properties and the importance of linearly trended records lead us to suggest a distribution-free approach…

随机系数回归中截距与斜率分布的非参数估计AI 解读

An experiment records stimulus and response for a random sample of cases. The relationship between response and stimulus is thought to be linear, the values of the slope and intercept varying by case. From such data, we construct a consistent, asymptotically normal, nonparametric estimator for the joint density of the slope and intercept. Our methodology incorporates the radial projection-slice theorem for the Radon transform, a technique for locally linear nonparametric…

含大量不连续点函数的小波方法表现AI 解读

Compared to traditional approaches to curve estimation, such as those based on kernels, wavelet methods are relatively unaffected by discontinuities and similar aberrations. In particular, the mean square convergence rate of a wavelet estimator of a fixed, piecewise-smooth curve is not influenced by discontinuities. Nevertheless, it is clear that as the estimation problem becomes more complex the limitations of wavelet methods must eventually be apparent. By allowing the…

泊松点过程强度函数的自助法置信域AI 解读

Bootstrap methods are developed for constructing confidence regions for the intensity function of a nonstationary Poisson process. Several different resampling algorithms are suggested, ranging from resampling a Poisson process with intensity equal to that estimated nonparametrically from the data to resampling the data points themselves in the same manner that the bootstrap is used in problems involving independent and identically distributed observations. For each…

用伪数据方法消除核密度估计的边界效应AI 解读

SUMMARY We suggest a method for boundary correcting kernel density estimators, based on generating pseudodata beyond the extremities of the density's support. The estimator produced in this way enjoys optimal orders of bias and variance right up to the ends of the support, and it may be used with kernels of arbitrary order. Our method is considerably more adaptive than the common data reflection approach, which is not really appropriate for kernels of order 2 or more since…

方向数据置信域的改进枢轴方法AI 解读

The importance of pivoting is well established in the context of nonparametric confidence regions. It ensures enhanced coverage accuracy. However, pivoting for directional data cannot be achieved simply by rescaling. A somewhat cumbersome pivotal method, which involves passing first into a space of higher dimension, has been developed by Fisher and Hall for samples of unit vectors. Although that method has some advantages over nonpivotal techniques, it does suffer from…

多类型 Boolean 模型中团块边界的维数AI 解读

In a fascinating article on models for particulate microstructure, Hermann and Ohser argue that the superposition of stochastically independent Boolean models may be thought of as producing sets whose boundaries have unusual properties of dimension. Hermann and Ohser employ such superposition models to analyse the particulate structure of rust. In the present paper we provide a theoretical foundation for their work, with respect to both the definition of dimension and its…

非线性小波回归中平滑、阈值与截断参数的选择AI 解读

SUMMARY Concise asymptotic theory is developed for non-linear wavelet estimators of regression means, in the context of general error distributions, general designs, general normalizations in the case of stochastic design, and non-structural assumptions about the mean. The influence of the tail weight of the error distribution is addressed in the setting of choosing threshold and truncation parameters. Mainly, the tail weight is described in an extremely simple way, by a…

基于广义矩估计量的检验的自助法临界值AI 解读

Tests based on generalized-method-of-moments estimators often have true levels that differ greatly from their nominal levels when asymptotic critical values are used. This paper gives conditions under which the bootstrap provides asymptotic refinements to the critical values of t tests and the test of overidentifying restrictions. Particular attention is given to the case of dependent data. It is shown that, with such data, the bootstrap must sample blocks of data and that…

非参数曲线估计的局部平滑AI 解读

We develop new local versions of familiar smoothing methods, such as cross-validation and smoothed cross-validation, in the contexts of density estimation and regression. These new methods are locally adaptive in the sense that they capture smooth local fluctuations in the curve by using smoothly varying bandwidths that change as the character of the curve changes. Moreover, the new methods are accurate, easy to apply, and computationally expedient.

依赖数据密度估计中的带宽选择AI 解读

We address the empirical bandwidth choice problem in cases where the range of dependence may be virtually arbitrarily long. Assuming that the observed data derive from an unknown function of a Gaussian process, it is argued that, unlike more traditional contexts of statistical inference, in density estimation there is no clear role for the classical distinction between short- and long-range dependence. Indeed, the "boundaries" that separate different modes of behaviour for…

短程与长程相关误差下非参数回归的带宽选择AI 解读

We analyse methods based on the block bootstrap and leave-out cross-validation, for choosing the bandwidth in nonparametric regression when errors have an almost arbitrarily long range of dependence. A novel analytical device for modelling the dependence structure of errors is introduced. This allows a concise theoretical description of the way in which the range of dependence affects optimal bandwidth choice. It is shown that, provided block length or leave-out number,…

众数估计中 L^p 误差的最小化AI 解读

We show that, for $L^p$ convergence of the mode of a nonparametric density estimator to the mode of an unknown probability density, finiteness of the pth moment of the underlying distribution is both necessary and sufficient. The basic requirement of existence of finite variance has been overlooked by statisticians, who have earlier considered mean square convergence of nonparametric mode estimators; they have focussed on mean squared error of the asymptotic distribution,…
