异方差与相关误差线性模型的去偏及阈值化岭回归AI 解读

Abstract High-dimensional linear models with independent errors have been well-studied. However, statistical inference on a high-dimensional linear model with heteroskedastic, dependent (and possibly nonstationary) errors is still a novel topic. Under such complex assumptions, the paper at hand introduces a debiased and thresholded ridge regression estimator that is consistent, and is able to recover the model sparsity. Moreover, we derive a Gaussian approximation theorem…

用于小区域估计的高维参数嵌套误差回归模型AI 解读

Abstract In this paper, we propose a flexible nested error regression small area model with high-dimensional parameter that incorporates heterogeneity in regression coefficients and variance components. We develop a new robust small area-specific estimating equations method that allows appropriate pooling of a large number of areas in estimating small area-specific model parameters. We propose a parametric bootstrap and jackknife method to estimate not only the mean squared…

稀疏高维结构向量自回归的结构推断AI 解读

We consider statistical inference for impulse responses and forecast error variance decompositions in sparse, structural high-dimensional vector autoregressive (SVAR) systems. We introduce consistent estimators of impulse responses in the high-dimensional setting and suggest valid inference procedures for the same parameters. Statistical inference in our setting is much more involved since standard procedures, like the delta-method, do not apply. By using local projection…

针对高维局部备择序列的最强检验AI 解读

We develop a powerful quadratic test for the overall significance of many covariates in a dense regression model in the presence of nuisance parameters. By equally weighting the sample moments, the test is asymptotically correct in high dimensions even when the number of coefficients is larger than the sample size. Our theory allows a non-parametric error distribution and weakly exogenous nuisance variables, in particular autoregressors in many applications. Using random…

区间响应的特征筛选：招聘工资与技能要求的关联AI 解读

It is important to quantify the differences in returns to skills using the online job advertisements data, which have attracted great interest in both labor economics and statistics fields. In this paper, we study the relationship between the posted salary and the job requirements in online labor markets. There are two challenges to deal with. First, the posted salary is always presented in an interval-valued form, for example, 5k-10k yuan per month. Simply taking the…

具有持仓数量约束的高维投资组合选择AI 解读

The expanding number of assets offers more opportunities for investors but poses new challenges for modern portfolio management (PM). As a central plank of PM, portfolio selection by expected utility maximization (EUM) faces uncontrollable estimation and optimization errors in ultrahigh-dimensional scenarios. Past strategies for high-dimensional PM mainly concern only large-cap companies and select many stocks, making PM impractical. We propose a…

检测组间函数关系异质性的核部分置换检验AI 解读

We propose a kernel-based partial permutation test for checking the equality of functional relationship between response and covariates among different groups. The main idea, which is intuitive and easy to implement, is to keep the projections of the response vector Y on leading principle components of a kernel matrix fixed and permute Y’s projections on the remaining principle components. The proposed test allows for different choices of kernels, corresponding to different…

高维多变量类别响应回归的似然方法AI 解读

We propose a penalized likelihood method to fit the bivariate categorical response regression model. Our method allows practitioners to estimate which predictors are irrelevant, which predictors only affect the marginal distributions of the bivariate response, and which predictors affect both the marginal distributions and log odds ratios. To compute our estimator, we propose an efficient first order algorithm which we extend to settings where some subjects have only one…

超高维混合类型相关变量的广义因子模型AI 解读

As high-dimensional data measured with mixed-type variables gradually become prevalent, it is particularly appealing to represent those mixed-type high-dimensional data using a much smaller set of so-called factors. Due to the limitation of the existing methods for factor analysis that deal with only continuous variables, in this article, we develop a generalized factor model, a corresponding algorithm and theory for ultra-high dimensional mixed types of variables where both…

高维二元结局广义线性模型的统计推断AI 解读

This paper develops a unified statistical inference framework for high-dimensional binary generalized linear models (GLMs) with general link functions. Both unknown and known design distribution settings are considered. A two-step weighted bias-correction method is proposed for constructing confidence intervals and simultaneous hypothesis tests for individual components of the regression vector. Minimax lower bound for the expected length is established and the proposed…

有限总体抽样中基于随机森林的模型辅助估计AI 解读

In surveys, the interest lies in estimating finite population parameters such as population totals and means. In most surveys, some auxiliary information is available at the estimation stage. This information may be incorporated in the estimation procedures to increase their precision. In this article, we use random forests (RFs) to estimate the functional relationship between the survey variable and the auxiliary variables. In recent years, RFs have become attractive as…

最优模拟器选择AI 解读

Computer simulators are widely used for the study of complex systems. In many applications, there are multiple simulators available with different scientific interpretations of the underlying mechanism, and the goal is to identify an optimal simulator based on the observed physical experiments. To achieve the goal, we propose a selection criterion based on leave-one-out cross-validation. This criterion consists of a goodness-of-fit measure and a generalized degrees of…

多元二元数据潜变量模型的GEE辅助变量选择AI 解读

Multivariate data are commonly analyzed using one of two approaches: a conditional approach based on generalized linear latent variable models (GLLVMs) or some variation thereof, and a marginal approach based on generalized estimating equations (GEEs). With research on mixed models and GEEs having gone down separate paths, there is a common mindset to treat the two approaches as mutually exclusive, with which to use driven by the question of interest. In this article,…

观察性研究中兼顾两类准则的样本匹配AI 解读

Multivariate matching has two goals: (i) to construct treated and control groups that have similar distributions of observed covariates, and (ii) to produce matched pairs or sets that are homogeneous in a few key covariates. When there are only a few binary covariates, both goals may be achieved by matching exactly for these few covariates. Commonly, however, there are many covariates, so goals (i) and (ii) come apart, and must be achieved by different means. As is also true…

自适应采集高维数据的在线去偏及时间序列应用AI 解读

Adaptive collection of data is commonplace in applications throughout science and engineering. From the point of view of statistical inference, however, adaptive data collection induces memory and correlation in the samples, and poses significant challenge. We consider the high-dimensional linear regression, where the samples are collected adaptively, and the sample size n can be smaller than p, the number of covariates. In this setting, there are two distinct sources of…

分类程序是否充分拟合：分类学习的拟合优度评估AI 解读

In recent years, many nontraditional classification methods, such as random forest, boosting, and neural network, have been widely used in applications. Their performance is typically measured in terms of classification accuracy. While the classification error rate and the like are important, they do not address a fundamental question: Is the classification method underfitted? To our best knowledge, there is no existing method that can assess the goodness of fit of a general…

高维矩阵型因子模型的统计推断AI 解读

This article considers the estimation and inference of the low-rank components in high-dimensional matrix-variate factor models, where each dimension of the matrix-variates (p × q) is comparable to or greater than the number of observations (T). We propose an estimation method called α-PCA that preserves the matrix structure and aggregates mean and contemporary covariance through a hyper-parameter α. We develop an inferential theory, establishing consistency, the rate of…

全局 Fréchet 回归的变量选择AI 解读

Global Fréchet regression is an extension of linear regression to cover more general types of responses, such as distributions, networks, and manifolds, which are becoming more prevalent. In such models, predictors are Euclidean while responses are metric space valued. Predictor selection is of major relevance for regression modeling in the presence of multiple predictors but has not yet been addressed for Fréchet regression. Due to the metric space-valued nature of the…

利用交叉拟合残差回归识别高维异方差效应AI 解读

There is a vast amount of work on high-dimensional regression. The common starting point for the existing theoretical work is to assume the data generating model is a homoscedastic linear regression model with some sparsity structure. In reality the homoscedasticity assumption is often violated, and hence understanding the heteroscedasticity of the data is of critical importance. In this article we systematically study the estimation of a high-dimensional heteroscedastic…

计算机模型函数校准的再生核希尔伯特空间方法AI 解读

This article develops a frequentist solution to the functional calibration problem, where the value of a calibration parameter in a computer model is allowed to vary with the value of control variables in the physical system. The need of functional calibration is motivated by engineering applications where using a constant calibration parameter results in a significant mismatch between outputs from the computer model and the physical experiment. Reproducing kernel Hilbert…

协作式多标签分类AI 解读

In multilabel classification, strong label dependence is present for exploiting, particularly for word-to-word dependence defined by semantic labels. In such a situation, we develop a collaborative-learning framework to predict class labels based on label-predictor pairs and label-only data. For example, in image categorization and recognition, language expressions describe the content of an image together with a large number of words and phrases without associated images.…

多元时间点过程回归AI 解读

Point process modeling is gaining increasing attention, as point process type data are emerging in a large variety of scientific applications. In this article, motivated by a neuronal spike trains study, we propose a novel point process regression model, where both the response and the predictor can be a high-dimensional point process. We model the predictor effects through the conditional intensities using a set of basis transferring functions in a convolutional fashion. We…

高维删失分位数回归的统计推断AI 解读

With the availability of high dimensional genetic biomarkers, it is of interest to identify heterogeneous effects of these predictors on patients' survival, along with proper statistical inference. Censored quantile regression has emerged as a powerful tool for detecting heterogeneous effects of covariates on survival outcomes. To our knowledge, there is little work available to draw inference on the effects of high dimensional predictors for censored quantile regression.…
