拒绝式与高熵抽样下简便且设计有效的校准估计量AI 解读

For survey calibration, consider the situation where the population totals of auxiliary variables are known or where auxiliary variables are measured for all population units. For each situation, we develop design-efficient calibration estimators under rejective or high-entropy sampling. A general approach is to extend efficient estimators for missing-data problems with independent and identically distributed data to the survey setting. We show that this approach effectively…

缺失数据条件均值模型的高效受限估计量AI 解读

Consider a conditional mean model with missing data on the response or explanatory variables due to two-phase sampling or nonresponse. Robins et al. (1994) introduced a class of augmented inverse-probability-weighted estimators, depending on a vector of functions of explanatory variables and a vector of functions of coarsened data. Tsiatis (2006) studied two classes of restricted estimators, class 1 with both vectors restricted to finite-dimensional linear subspaces and…

基于逆概率加权的有界、高效与双重稳健估计AI 解读

Consider estimating the mean of an outcome in the presence of missing data or estimating population average treatment effects in causal inference. A doubly robust estimator remains consistent if an outcome regression model or a propensity score model is correctly specified. We build on a previous nonparametric likelihood approach and propose new doubly robust estimators, which have desirable properties in efficiency if the propensity score model is correctly specified, and…

指数倾斜混合模型的剖面似然札记AI 解读

Suppose that independent observations are drawn from multiple distributions, each of which is a mixture of two component distributions such that their log density ratio satisfies a linear model with a slope parameter and an intercept parameter. Inference for such models has been studied using empirical likelihood, and mixed results have been obtained. The profile empirical likelihood of the slope and intercept has an irregularity at the null hypothesis so that the two…

存在不依从的随机试验中因果效应的高效非参数估计AI 解读

Causal approaches based on the potential outcome framework provide a useful tool for addressing noncompliance problems in randomized trials. We propose a new estimator of causal treatment effects in randomized clinical trials with noncompliance. We use the empirical likelihood approach to construct a profile random sieve likelihood and take into account the mixture structure in outcome distributions, so that our estimator is robust to parametric distribution assumptions and…

蒙特卡洛积分的统计模型理论AI 解读

Summary The task of estimating an integral by Monte Carlo methods is formulated as a statistical model using simulated observations as data. The difficulty in this exercise is that we ordinarily have at our disposal all of the information required to compute integrals exactly by calculus or numerical integration, but we choose to ignore some of the information for simplicity or computational feasibility. Our proposal is to use a semiparametric statistical model that makes…
