标签未知时概率质量函数的估计AI 解读

In the context of a species sampling problem, we discuss a nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for the underlying probability mass function. The estimator is known in the computer science literature as the high profile estimator. We prove strong consistency and derive the rates of convergence, for an extended model version of the estimator. We also study a sieved estimator for which similar consistency results are derived. Numerical computation of the sieved estimator…

基于新量子似然比的量子局部渐近正态性AI 解读

We develop a theory of local asymptotic normality in the quantum domain based on a novel quantum analogue of the log-likelihood ratio. This formulation is applicable to any quantum statistical model satisfying a mild smoothness condition. As an application, we prove the asymptotic achievability of the Holevo bound for the local shift parameter.

量子统计推断AI 解读

Summary Interest in problems of statistical inference connected to measurements of quantum systems has recently increased substantially, in step with dramatic new developments in experimental techniques for studying small quantum systems. Furthermore, developments in the theory of quantum measurements have brought the basic mathematical framework for the probability calculations much closer to that of classical probability theory. The present paper reviews this field and…

We extend Robins’ theory of causal inference for complex longitudinal data to the case of continuously varying as opposed to discrete covariates and treatments. In particular we establish versions of the key results of the discrete theory: the $g$-computation formula and a collection of powerful characterizations of the $g$-null hypothesis of no treatment effect. This is accomplished under natural continuity hypotheses concerning the conditional distributions of the outcome…

空间点过程距离分布的 Kaplan–Meier 估计AI 解读

When a spatial point process is observed through a bounded window, edge effects hamper the estimation of characteristics such as the empty space function F, the nearest neighbor distance distribution G and the reduced second-order moment function K. Here we propose and study product-limit type estimators of F, G and K based on the analogy with censored survival data: the distance from a fixed point to the nearest point of the process is right-censored by its distance to the…

分位数过程弱收敛的初等方法及其在删失生存数据中的应用AI 解读

Let ξ be a continuously differentiable function with positive derivative, and let ξ n be a sequence of right-continuous increasing processes. We show that if n 1/2(ξ n − ξ) W, where W is continuous, then n 1/2(ξ−1 n − ξ−1) − W(ξ−1)/ξ′(ξ−1). This result is applied to classical processes such as the empirical distribution function, the Kaplan-Meier estimator, and some other situations. We also prove an analogous result for the bootstrapped version of n 1/2(ξ n − ξ) and show…

面向生存分析应用的乘积积分综述AI 解读

The correspondence between a survival function and its hazard or failure-rate is a central idea in survival analysis and in the theory of counting processes. This correspondence is shown to be a special case of a more general correspondence between multiplicative and additive matrix-valued measures on the real line. Additive integration of the survival function produces the hazard, while the multiplicative integral, or so-called product-integral, of the hazard yields the…

随机截断模型与马尔可夫过程AI 解读

Random left truncation is modelled by the conditional distribution of the random variable $X$ of interest, given that it is larger than the truncating random variable $Y$; usually $X$ and $Y$ are assumed independent. The present paper is based on a simple reparametrization of the left truncation model as a three-state Markov process. The derivation of a nonparametric estimator is a distribution function under random truncation is then a special case of results on the…

有偏抽样模型中经验分布的大样本理论AI 解读

Vardi (1985a) introduced an $s$-sample model for biased sampling, gave conditions which guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator $\mathbb{G}_n$ of the common underlying distribution $G$ and discussed numerical methods for calculating the estimator. Here we examine the large sample behavior of the NPMLE $\mathbb{G}_n$, including results on uniform consistency of $\mathbb{G}_n$, convergence of $\sqrt n (\mathbb{G}_n - G)$ to a…

An informal discussion is given of how martingale techniques can be used to extend Cox's regression model and to derive its large sample properties.
