纵向数据的函数型单指标模型AI 解读

A new single-index model that reflects the time-dynamic effects of the single index is proposed for longitudinal and functional response data, possibly measured with errors, for both longitudinal and time-invariant covariates. With appropriate initial estimates of the parametric index, the proposed estimator is shown to be $\sqrt{n}$-consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. We also address the nonparametric estimation of regression functions and provide estimates…

曲面积分的非参数估计AI 解读

The estimation of surface integrals on the boundary of an unknown body is a challenge for nonparametric methods in statistics, with powerful applications to physics and image analysis, among other fields. Provided that one can determine whether random shots hit the body, Cuevas et al. [Ann. Statist. 35 (2007) 1031–1051] estimate the boundary measure (the boundary length for planar sets and the surface area for 3-dimensional objects) via the consideration of shots at a box…

广义可加部分线性模型的聚焦信息准则与模型平均AI 解读

We study model selection and model averaging in generalized additive partial linear models (GAPLMs). Polynomial spline is used to approximate nonparametric functions. The corresponding estimators of the linear parameters are shown to be asymptotically normal. We then develop a focused information criterion (FIC) and a frequentist model average (FMA) estimator on the basis of the quasi-likelihood principle and examine theoretical properties of the FIC and FMA. The major…

半参数变系数部分线性模型的新型高效估计与变量选择方法AI 解读

The complexity of semiparametric models poses new challenges to statistical inference and model selection that frequently arise from real applications. In this work, we propose new estimation and variable selection procedures for the semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear model. We first study quantile regression estimates for the nonparametric varying-coefficient functions and the parametric regression coefficients. To achieve nice efficiency properties, we…

弱分数协整的完全修正窄带最小二乘估计AI 解读

We consider estimation of the cointegrating relation in the weak fractional cointegration model, where the strength of the cointegrating relation (difference in memory parameters) is less than one‐half. A special case is the stationary fractional cointegration model, which has found important applications recently, especially in financial economics. Previous research on this model has considered a semi‐parametric narrow‐band least squares (NBLS) estimator in the frequency…

空间异方差与自相关一致的协方差矩阵估计AI 解读

This paper considers spatial heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (spatial HAC) estimation of covariance matrices of parameter estimators. We generalize the spatial HAC estimator introduced by Kelejian and Prucha (2007) to apply to linear and nonlinear spatial models with moment conditions. We establish its consistency, rate of convergence and asymptotic truncated mean squared error (MSE). Based on the asymptotic truncated MSE criterion, we derive the optimal…

分层抽样数据的矩条件推断AI 解读

Many data sets used by economists and other social scientists are collected by stratified sampling. The sampling scheme used to collect the data induces a probability distribution on the observed sample that differs from the target or underlying distribution for which inference is to be made. If this effect is not taken into account, subsequent statistical inference can be seriously biased. This paper shows how to do efficient semiparametric inference in moment restriction…

含未知函数的条件矩限制模型的经验似然估计AI 解读

This paper proposes an empirical likelihood-based estimation method for conditional moment restriction models with unknown functions, which include several semiparametric models. Our estimator is called the sieve conditional empirical likelihood (SCEL) estimator, which is based on the methods of conditional empirical likelihood and sieves. We derive (i) the consistency and a convergence rate of the SCEL estimator for the whole parameter, and (ii) the asymptotic normality and…

风险厌恶竞标者第一价格拍卖的半参数估计AI 解读

In view of the non-identification of the first-price auction model with risk-averse bidders, this paper proposes some parametric identifying restrictions and a semiparametric estimator for the risk aversion parameter(s) and the latent distribution of private values. Specifically, we exploit heterogeneity across auctioned objects to establish semiparametric identification under a conditional quantile restriction of the bidders' private value distribution and a…

借助降维估计对主要关注参数进行推断AI 解读

Summary As high dimensional data become routinely available in applied sciences, sufficient dimension reduction has been widely employed and its research has received considerable attention. However, with the majority of sufficient dimension reduction methodology focusing on the dimension reduction step, complete analysis and inference after dimension reduction have yet to receive much attention. We couple the strategy of sufficient dimension reduction with a flexible…

Summary We propose a flexible non-parametric specification of the emission distribution in hidden Markov models and we introduce a novel methodology for carrying out the computations. Whereas current approaches use a finite mixture model, we argue in favour of an infinite mixture model given by a mixture of Dirichlet processes. The computational framework is based on auxiliary variable representations of the Dirichlet process and consists of a forward–backward Gibbs sampling…

经典测量误差模型中的局部与总体拟合优度检验AI 解读

Summary We consider functional measurement error models, i.e. models where covariates are measured with error and yet no distributional assumptions are made about the mismeasured variable. We propose and study a score-type local test and an orthogonal series-based, omnibus goodness-of-fit test in this context, where no likelihood function is available or calculated—i.e. all the tests are proposed in the semiparametric model framework. We demonstrate that our tests have…

半参数广义线性模型中快速稳定的限制极大似然与边际似然估计AI 解读

Summary Recent work by Reiss and Ogden provides a theoretical basis for sometimes preferring restricted maximum likelihood (REML) to generalized cross-validation (GCV) for smoothing parameter selection in semiparametric regression. However, existing REML or marginal likelihood (ML) based methods for semiparametric generalized linear models (GLMs) use iterative REML or ML estimation of the smoothing parameters of working linear approximations to the GLM. Such indirect schemes…

已实现核估计量的子采样AI 解读

In a recent paper we have introduced the class of realised kernel estimators of the increments of quadratic variation in the presence of noise. We showed that this estimator is consistent and derived its limit distribution under various assumptions on the kernel weights. In this paper we extend our analysis, looking at the class of subsampled realised kernels and we derive the limit theory for this class of estimators. We find that subsampling is highly advantageous for…

市场微观结构噪声、积分方差估计与渐近近似的准确性AI 解读

A growing literature has been advocating consistent kernel estimation of integrated variance in the presence of financial market microstructure noise. We find that, for realistic sample sizes encountered in practice, the asymptotic results derived for the proposed estimators may provide unsatisfactory representations of their finite sample properties. In addition, the existing asymptotic results might not offer sufficient guidance for practical implementations. We show how…

高频收益、跳跃与正态混合假说AI 解读

Previous empirical studies find both evidence of jumps in asset prices and that returns standardized by 'realized volatility' are approximately standard normal. These findings appear to be contradictory. Using a sample of high-frequency returns for 20 heavily traded US stocks, we show how microstructure noise distorts the standard deviation and kurtosis of returns normalized using realized variance. When returns are standardized using a recently developed realized kernel…

带跳跃马尔可夫模型的阈值估计与利率建模AI 解读

We reconstruct the level-dependent diffusion coefficient of a univariate semimartingale with jumps which is observed discretely. The consistency and asymptotic normality of our estimator are provided in the presence of both finite and infinite activity (finite variation) jumps. Our results rely on kernel estimation, using the properties of the local time of the data generating process, and the fact that it is possible to disentangle the discontinuous part of the state…

跳跃驱动随机波动率模型的计量分析AI 解读

This paper introduces and studies the econometric properties of a general new class of models, which I refer to as jump-driven stochastic volatility models, in which the volatility is a moving average of past jumps. I focus attention on two particular semiparametric classes of jump-driven stochastic volatility models. In the first, the price has a continuous component with time-varying volatility and time-homogeneous jumps. The second jump-driven stochastic volatility model…

含不可观测异质性的拍卖模型识别与估计AI 解读

In many procurement auctions, the bidders' unobserved costs depend both on a common shock and on idiosyncratic private information. Assuming a multiplicative structure, I derive sufficient conditions under which the model is identified and propose a non-parametric estimation procedure that results in uniformly consistent estimators of the cost components' distributions. The estimation procedure is applied to data from Michigan highway procurement auctions. Private…

劳动供给与需求因素的非参数估计AI 解读

This article derives sharp bounds on labor supply and demand shift variables within a nonparametric simultaneous equations model using only observations of the intersection of upward sloping supply curves and downward sloping demand curves. Furthermore, I demonstrate that these bounds tighten with the imposition of plausible assumptions on the distribution of the disturbance terms. Using Katz and Murphy’s (1992) panel data on wages and labor inputs, I estimate these bounds…

动态条件协方差的估计与预测：半参数多变量模型AI 解读

We propose a semiparametric conditional covariance (SCC) estimator that combines the first-stage parametric conditional covariance (PCC) estimator with the second-stage nonparametric correction estimator in a multiplicative way. We prove the asymptotic normality of our SCC estimator, propose a nonparametric test for the correct specification of PCC models, and study its asymptotic properties. We evaluate the finite sample performance of our test and SCC estimator and compare…

跳跃尾部的估计AI 解读

We propose a new and flexible nonparametric framework for estimating the jump tails of Itô semimartingale processes. The approach is based on a relatively simple-to-implement set of estimating equations associated with the compensator for the jump measure, or its intensity, that only utilizes the weak assumption of regular variation in the jump tails, along with in-fill asymptotic arguments for directly estimating the “large” jumps. The procedure assumes that the large-sized…

含逆向选择与道德风险的合同模型：非参数识别AI 解读

This paper studies the nonparametric identification of a contract model with adverse selection and moral hazard. Specifically, we consider the false moral hazard model developed by Laffont and Tirole (1986). We first extend this model to allow for general random demand and cost functions. We establish the nonparametric identification of the demand, cost, deterministic transfer, and effort disutility functions as well as the joint distribution of the random elements of the…
