结局缺失且有辅助变量时 K 样本 U 统计量均值的估计AI 解读

We propose estimators of the mean of a K‐sample U‐statistic when data on the outcomes of interest are missing in some sampled units and auxiliary variables are available in the entire sample. The proposed estimators exploit the information available in the auxiliaries without requiring assumptions about the joint distribution of the auxiliaries and outcomes. The properties of the proposed estimators are derived as a consequence of general results on efficient semiparametric…

第二类区间删失下失效函数的非参数两样本检验AI 解读

For the setting of interval censoring case 2, a nonparametric two‐sample test, based on a smooth functional of the nonparametric maximum pseudolikelihood estimator, is developed to compare the failure functions of two populations. Monte Carlo simulation studies on Weibull distributions show that this test performs quite well in many situations in comparison with the parametric likelihood ratio test. A real dataset from an study is used to illustrate the new test.

连续时间半鞅回归模型中的参数序贯估计AI 解读

We consider the problem of parameter estimation for multidimensional continuous-time linear stochastic regression models with an arbitrary finite number of unknown parameters and with martingale noise. The main result of the paper claims that the unknown parameters can be estimated with prescribed mean-square precision in this general model providing a unified description of both discrete and continuous time process. Among the conditions on the regressors there is one…

基于自助法的非参数回归显著性检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a test for selecting explanatory variables in nonparametric regression. The test does not need to estimate the conditional expectation function given all the variables, but only those which are significant under the null hypothesis. This feature is computationally convenient and solves, in part, the problem of the “curse of dimensionality” when selecting regressors in a nonparametric context. The proposed test statistic is based on functionals of a $U$-pro…

依赖训练序列下的最近邻分类AI 解读

The asymptotic classification risk for nearest neighbor procedures is well understood in the case of i.i.d. training sequences. In this article, we generalize these results to a class of dependent models including hidden Markov models. In the case where the observed patterns have Lebesgue densities, the asymptotic risk takes the same expression as in the i.i.d. case. For discrete distributions, we show that the asymptotic risk depends on the rule used for breaking ties of…

极值分布谱测度的非参数估计AI 解读

Let $(\mathcal{X}_1, \mathcal{Y}_1),\dots,(\mathcal{X}_n, \mathcal{Y}_n)$ be a random sample from a bivariate distribution function $F$ in the domain of max-attraction of a distribution function $G$. This $G$ is characterised by the two extreme value indices and its spectral or angular measure. The extreme value indices determine both the marginals and the spectral measure determines the dependence structure of $G$. One of the main issues in multivariate extreme value theory…

最小非参数容忍区域AI 解读

We present a new, natural way to construct nonparametric multivariate tolerance regions. Unlike the classical nonparametric tolerance intervals, where the endpoints are determined by beforehand chosen order statistics, we take the shortest interval that contains a certain number of observations. We extend this idea to higher dimensions by replacing the class of intervals by a general class of indexing sets, which specializes to the classes of ellipsoids, hyperrectangles or…

半参数模型的多尺度最大似然分析及应用AI 解读

A special semiparametric model for a univariate density is introduced that allows analyzing a number of problems via appropriate transformations. Two problems treated in some detail are testing for the presence of a mixture and detecting a wear-out trend in a failure rate. The analysis of the semiparametric model leads to an approach that advances the maximum likelihood theory of the Grenander estimator to a multiscale analysis. The construction of the corresponding test…

非参数协方差分析AI 解读

In the problem of testing the equalityof k regression curves from independent samples, we discuss three methods using nonparametric estimators of the regression function. The first test is based on a linear combination of estimators for the integrated variance function in the individual samples and in the combined sample. The second approach transfers the classical one-way analysis of variance to the situation of comparing non-parametric curves, while the third test compares…

We examine the way in which empirical bandwidth choice affects distributional properties of nonparametric density estimators. Two bandwidth selection methods are considered in detail: local and global plug-in rules. Particular attention is focussed on whether the accuracy of distributional bootstrap approximations is appreciably influenced by using the resample version $\hat{h}*$,rather than the sample version $\hat{h}$, of an empirical bandwidth. It is shown theoretically…

Bernstein 多项式密度估计的收敛速度AI 解读

Mixture models for density estimation provide a very useful set up for the Bayesian or the maximum likelihood approach.For a density on the unit interval, mixtures of beta densities form a flexible model. The class of Bernstein densities is a much smaller subclass of the beta mixtures defined by Bernstein polynomials, which can approximate any continuous density. A Bernstein polynomial prior is obtained by putting a prior distribution on the class of Bernstein densities. The…

贪婪函数逼近：梯度提升机AI 解读

Function estimation/approximation is viewed from the perspective of numerical optimization in function space, rather than parameter space. A connection is made between stagewise additive expansions and steepest-descent minimization. A general gradient descent “boosting” paradigm is developed for additive expansions based on any fitting criterion.Specific algorithms are presented for least-squares, least absolute deviation, and Huber-M loss functions for regression, and…

根接近1的自回归时间序列参数估计AI 解读

Estimators for the parameters of autoregressive time series are compared, emphasizing processes with a unit root or a root close to 1. The approximate bias of the sum of the autoregressive coefficients is expressed as a function of the test for a unit root. This expression is used to construct an estimator that is nearly unbiased for the parameter of the first-order scalar process. The estimator for the first-order process has a mean squared error that is about 40% of that…

马尔可夫状态转换与单位根检验AI 解读

We investigate the power and size performance of unit-root tests when the data undergo Markov regime switching. All tests, including those robust to a single break in trend growth rate, have low power against a process with a Markov-switching trend. Under the null hypothesis, we find that previously documented size distortions in Dickey-Fuller-type tests caused by a single break in trend growth rate or variance do not generalize to most parameterizations of Markov switching…

密度预测检验及其在风险管理中的应用AI 解读

The forecast evaluation literature has traditionally focused on methods of assessing point forecasts. However, in the context of many models of financial risk, interest centers on more than just a single point of the forecast distribution. For example, value-at-risk models that are currently in extremely wide use form interval forecasts. Many other important financial calculations also involve estimates not summarized by a point forecast. Although some techniques are…

理性成瘾的计量经济学AI 解读

This article reexamines the econometric estimation of rational-addiction models considered by Becker, Grossman, and Murphy (BGM) for cigarette consumption. The rational-addiction model poses a number of additional econometric difficulties including endogeneity due to the presence of leads and lags of the dependent variable and serial correlation in the disturbances. BGM considered a fixed-effects two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimator. It is well known that this estimator…

自适应回归估计量的二阶近似AI 解读

We derive asymptotic expansions for semiparametric adaptive regression estimators. In particular, we derive the asymptotic distribution of the second-order effect of an adaptive estimator in a linear regression whose error density is of unknown functional form. We then show how the choice of smoothing parameters influences the estimator through higher order terms. A method of bandwidth selection is defined by minimizing the second-order mean squared error. We examine both…

复单位根与经济周期：它们真实存在吗？AI 解读

In this paper the asymptotic properties of ARMA processes with complex-conjugate unit roots in the AR lag polynomial are studied. These processes behave quite differently from regular unit root processes (with a single root equal to one). In particular, the asymptotic properties of a standardized version of the periodogram for such processes are analyzed, and a nonparametric test of the complex unit root hypothesis against the stationarity hypothesis is derived. This test is…

再捕获与移除研究的参数和半参数模型：似然方法AI 解读

Summary Capture–recapture processes are biased samplings of recurrent event processes, which can be modelled by the Andersen–Gill intensity model. The intensity function is assumed to be a function of time, covariates and a parameter. We derive the maximum likelihood estimators of both the parameter and the population size and show the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators for both recapture and removal studies. The estimators are asymptotically efficient…

非参数回归问题中的参数化与推断AI 解读

Summary We consider local likelihood or local estimating equations, in which a multivariate function Θ(·) is estimated but a derived function λ(·) of Θ(·) is of interest. In many applications, when most naturally formulated the derived function is a non-linear function of Θ(·). In trying to understand whether the derived non-linear function is constant or linear, a problem arises with this approach: when the function is actually constant or linear, the expectation of the…

不规则采样曲线的函数型线性判别分析AI 解读

Summary We introduce a technique for extending the classical method of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to data sets where the predictor variables are curves or functions. This procedure, which we call functional linear discriminant analysis (FLDA), is particularly useful when only fragments of the curves are observed. All the techniques associated with LDA can be extended for use with FLDA. In particular FLDA can be used to produce classifications on new (test) curves,…

Summary Summary. The regression literature contains hundreds of studies on serially correlated disturbances. Most of these studies assume that the structure of the error covariance matrix Ω is known or can be estimated consistently from data. Surprisingly, few studies investigate the properties of estimated generalized least squares (GLS) procedures when the structure of Ω is incorrectly identified and the parameters are inefficiently estimated. We compare the finite sample…
