基于任意阶自回归计算的 bootstrap 置信域AI 解读

Summary Given a linear time series, e.g. an autoregression of infinite order, we may construct a finite order approximation and use that as the basis for confidence regions. The sieve or autoregressive bootstrap, as this method is often called, is generally seen as a competitor with the better-understood block bootstrap approach. However, in the present paper we argue that, for linear time series, the sieve bootstrap has significantly better performance than blocking methods…

多重二次惩罚下的建模与平滑参数估计AI 解读

Summary Penalized likelihood methods provide a range of practical modelling tools, including spline smoothing, generalized additive models and variants of ridge regression. Selecting the correct weights for penalties is a critical part of using these methods and in the single-penalty case the analyst has several well-founded techniques to choose from. However, many modelling problems suggest a formulation employing multiple penalties, and here general methodology is lacking.…

多元正态层级模型的推断AI 解读

Summary This paper provides a new method and algorithm for making inferences about the parameters of a two-level multivariate normal hierarchical model. One has observed J p-dimensional vector outcomes, distributed at level 1 as multivariate normal with unknown mean vectors and with known covariance matrices. At level 2, the unknown mean vectors also have normal distributions, with common unknown covariance matrix A and with means depending on known covariates and on unknown…

时间序列瞬时变换的估计AI 解读

Summary We modify Ramsay's algorithm for estimating monotonic transformations in regression and extend it to autoregression, where strict monotonicity is an essential requirement. Compared with other methods, our method can capture some characteristics that are pertinent to the time series and is much easier to implement. An order selection method is introduced and developed. Some real data sets are analysed.

表示为P–P图与ROC曲线下积分的秩统计量AI 解读

Summary Given a probability measure on the unit square, the measure of the region under an empirical P–P-plot defines a two-sample rank statistic. Instances include trimmed and censored versions of the Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon statistic and a class of statistics with applications in the analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A large sample distribution for such a statistic is obtained, which is valid under sampling from general populations. Explicit results…

聚类混合型结果的贝叶斯潜变量模型AI 解读

Summary A general framework is proposed for modelling clustered mixed outcomes. A mixture of generalized linear models is used to describe the joint distribution of a set of underlying variables, and an arbitrary function relates the underlying variables to be observed outcomes. The model accommodates multilevel data structures, general covariate effects and distinct link functions and error distributions for each underlying variable. Within the framework proposed, novel…

自适应权重平滑及其在图像恢复中的应用AI 解读

Summary We propose a new method of nonparametric estimation which is based on locally constant smoothing with an adaptive choice of weights for every pair of data points. Some theoretical properties of the procedure are investigated. Then we demonstrate the performance of the method on some simulated univariate and bivariate examples and compare it with other nonparametric methods. Finally we discuss applications of this procedure to magnetic resonance and satellite imaging.

Summary We derive approximations to the first three moments of the conditional distribution of the deviance statistic, for testing the goodness of fit of generalized linear models with non-canonical links, by using an estimating equations approach, for data that are extensive but sparse. A supplementary estimating equation is proposed from which the modified deviance statistic is obtained. An application of a modified deviance statistic is shown to binomial and Poisson data.…

观测与删失时间依赖协变量的面板计数数据回归分析AI 解读

Summary Panel count data often occur in a long-term study where the primary end point is the time to a specific event and each subject may experience multiple recurrences of this event. Furthermore, suppose that it is not feasible to keep subjects under observation continuously and the numbers of recurrences for each subject are only recorded at several distinct time points over the study period. Moreover, the set of observation times may vary from subject to subject. In…

小波过程与演化小波谱的自适应估计AI 解读

Summary This paper defines and studies a new class of non-stationary random processes constructed from discrete non-decimated wavelets which generalizes the Cramér (Fourier) representation of stationary time series. We define an evolutionary wavelet spectrum (EWS) which quantifies how process power varies locally over time and scale. We show how the EWS may be rigorously estimated by a smoothed wavelet periodogram and how both these quantities may be inverted to provide an…

EM估计的标准误AI 解读

Summary The EM algorithm is a popular method for computing maximum likelihood estimates. One of its drawbacks is that it does not produce standard errors as a by-product. We consider obtaining standard errors by numerical differentiation. Two approaches are considered. The first differentiates the Fisher score vector to yield the Hessian of the log-likelihood. The second differentiates the EM operator and uses an identity that relates its derivative to the Hessian of the…

函数线性模型的两步估计及其纵向数据应用AI 解读

Summary Functional linear models are useful in longitudinal data analysis. They include many classical and recently proposed statistical models for longitudinal data and other functional data. Recently, smoothing spline and kernel methods have been proposed for estimating their coefficient functions nonparametrically but these methods are either intensive in computation or inefficient in performance. To overcome these drawbacks, in this paper, a simple and powerful two-step…

样本极值的局部似然平滑AI 解读

Summary Trends in sample extremes are of interest in many contexts, an example being environmental statistics. Parametric models are often used to model trends in such data, but they may not be suitable for exploratory data analysis. This paper outlines a semiparametric approach to smoothing sample extremes, based on local polynomial fitting of the generalized extreme value distribution and related models. The uncertainty of fits is assessed by using resampling methods. The…

二元失效时间数据的一类加权依赖度量AI 解读

Summary This paper considers a class of summary measures of the dependence between a pair of failure time variables over a finite follow-up region. The class consists of measures that are weighted averages of local dependence measures, and includes the cross-ratio-measure and finite region version of Kendall's τ; recently proposed by the authors. Two new special cases are identified that can avoid the need to estimate the bivariate survivor function and that admit explicit…

使用数据依赖先验进行混合模型渐近推断AI 解读

Summary For certain mixture models, improper priors are undesirable because they yield improper posteriors. However, proper priors may be undesirable because they require subjective input. We propose the use of specially chosen data-dependent priors. We show that, in some cases, data-dependent priors are the only priors that produce intervals with second-order correct frequentist coverage. The resulting posterior also has another interpretation: it is the product of a fixed…

用于自助法迭代的加权自助法AI 解读

Summary The operation of resampling from a bootstrap resample, encountered in applications of the double bootstrap, maybe viewed as resampling directly from the sample but using probability weights that are proportional to the numbers of times that sample values appear in the resample. This suggests an approximate approach to double-bootstrap Monte Carlo simulation, where weighted bootstrap methods are used to circumvent much of the labour involved in compounded Monte Carlo…

不同采样频率下过程的极值分析AI 解读

Summary The observed extremes of a discrete time process depend on the process itself and the sampling frequency. We develop theoretical results which show how to account for the effect of sampling frequency on extreme values, thus enabling us to analyse systematically extremal data from series with different sampling rates. We present statistical methodology based on these results which we illustrate though simulations and by applications to sea-waves and rainfall data.

一种混合自回归模型AI 解读

Summary We generalize the Gaussian mixture transition distribution (GMTD) model introduced by Le and co-workers to the mixture autoregressive (MAR) model for the modelling of non-linear time series. The models consist of a mixture of K stationary or non-stationary AR components. The advantages of the MAR model over the GMTD model include a more full range of shape changing predictive distributions and the ability to handle cycles and conditional heteroscedasticity in the…

L 估计量的精确 Bootstrap 均值与方差AI 解读

Summary Exact analytic expressions for the bootstrap mean and variance of any L-estimator are obtained, thus eliminating the error due to bootstrap resampling. The expressions follow from the direct calculation of the bootstrap mean vector and covariance matrix of the whole set of order statistics. By using these expressions, recommendations can be made about the appropriateness of bootstrap estimation under given conditions.

连续与多类别混合数据的潜变量模型AI 解读

Summary Owing to the nature of the problems and the design of questionnaires, discrete polytomous data are very common in behavioural, medical and social research. Analysing the relationships between the manifest and the latent variables based on mixed polytomous and continuous data has proven to be difficult. A general structural equation model is investigated for these mixed outcomes. Maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of the unknown thresholds and the structural parameters…

通过可逆跳跃 MCMC 进行隐马尔可夫模型的贝叶斯推断AI 解读

Summary Hidden Markov models form an extension of mixture models which provides a flexible class of models exhibiting dependence and a possibly large degree of variability. We show how reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques can be used to estimate the parameters as well as the number of components of a hidden Markov model in a Bayesian framework. We employ a mixture of zero-mean normal distributions as our main example and apply this model to three sets of data…

非高斯观测的状态空间时间序列分析：经典与贝叶斯视角AI 解读

Summary The analysis of non-Gaussian time series by using state space models is considered from both classical and Bayesian perspectives. The treatment in both cases is based on simulation using importance sampling and antithetic variables; Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are not employed. Non-Gaussian disturbances for the state equation as well as for the observation equation are considered. Methods for estimating conditional and posterior means of functions of the state…

最大熵抽样与最优贝叶斯实验设计AI 解读

Summary When Shannon entropy is used as a criterion in the optimal design of experiments, advantage can be taken of the classical identity representing the joint entropy of parameters and observations as the sum of the marginal entropy of the observations and the preposterior conditional entropy of the parameters. Following previous work in which this idea was used in spatial sampling, the method is applied to standard parameterized Bayesian optimal experimental design.…
