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…

具有半参数限制的缺失数据模型的效率界AI 解读

This paper shows that the semiparametric efficiency bound for a parameter identified by an unconditional moment restriction with data missing at random (MAR) coincides with that of a particular augmented moment condition problem. The augmented system consists of the inverse probability weighted (IPW) original moment restriction and an additional conditional moment restriction which exhausts all other implications of the MAR assumption. The paper also investigates the value…

结合非参数预测与最优线性时间序列预测AI 解读

We introduce a semiparametric procedure for more efficient prediction of a strictly stationary process admitting an ARMA representation. The procedure is based on the estimation of the ARMA representation, followed by a nonparametric regression where the ARMA residuals are used as explanatory variables. Compared to standard nonparametric regression methods, the number of explanatory variables can be reduced because our approach exploits the linear dependence of the process.…

动态空间泊松过程的自回归混合模型：暴力犯罪强度追踪AI 解读

This article develops a set of tools for smoothing and prediction with dependent point event patterns. The methodology is motivated by the problem of tracking weekly maps of violent crime events, but is designed to be straightforward to adapt to a wide variety of alternative settings. In particular, a Bayesian semiparametric framework is introduced for modeling correlated time series of marked spatial Poisson processes. The likelihood is factored into two independent…

通过累积切片估计实现回归充分降维AI 解读

In this paper we offer a complete methodology of cumulative slicing estimation to sufficient dimension reduction. In parallel to the classical slicing estimation, we develop three methods that are termed, respectively, as cumulative mean estimation, cumulative variance estimation, and cumulative directional regression. The strong consistency for p=O(n1 / 2 / log n) and the asymptotic normality for p=o(n1 / 2) are established, where p is the dimension of the predictors and n…

处理效应的半参数界限AI 解读

We present a variety of semiparametric models that produce bounds on the average causal effect of a binary treatment on a binary outcome. The semiparametric assumptions exploit variation in observable covariates to narrow the bounds. In our main model, the outcome is determined by a generalized linear model, but the treatment may be arbitrarily endogenous. Our bounding strategy does not require the existence of an instrument, but incorporating an instrument narrows the…

半参数 M 估计量渐近分布的刻画AI 解读

This paper develops a concrete formula for the asymptotic distribution of two-step, possibly non-smooth semiparametric M-estimators under general misspecification. Our regularity conditions are relatively straightforward to verify and also weaker than those available in the literature. The first-stage nonparametric estimation may depend on finite dimensional parameters. We characterize: (1) conditions under which the first-stage estimation of nonparametric components do not…

部分线性模型的结构变化检验AI 解读

We consider two tests of structural change for partially linear time-series models. The first tests for structural change in the parametric component, based on the cumulative sums of gradients from a single semiparametric regression. The second tests for structural change in the parametric and nonparametric components simultaneously, based on the cumulative sums of weighted residuals from the same semiparametric regression. We derive the limiting distributions of both tests…

半参数单指标模型估计与检验的偏差校正AI 解读

Semiparametric methods are widely employed in applied work where the ability to conduct inferences is important. To establish asymptotic normality for making inferences, bias control mechanisms are often used in implementing semiparametric estimators. The first contribution of this paper is to propose a mechanism that enables us to establish asymptotic normality with regular kernels. In so doing, we argue that the resulting estimator performs very well in finite samples.…

兼容定性与定量数据的平滑变系数估计与推断AI 解读

We propose a semiparametric varying-coefficient estimator that admits both qualitative and quantitative covariates along with a test for correct specification of parametric varying-coefficient models. The proposed estimator is exceedingly flexible and has a wide range of potential applications including hierarchical (mixed) settings, small area estimation, etc. A data-driven cross-validatory bandwidth selection method is proposed that can handle both the qualitative and…

多元乘法波动率模型的有效估计AI 解读

We propose a multivariate generalization of the multiplicative volatility model of Engle and Rangel (2008), which has a nonparametric long run component and a unit multivariate GARCH short run dynamic component. We suggest various kernel-based estimation procedures for the parametric and nonparametric components, and derive the asymptotic properties thereof. For the parametric part of the model, we obtain the semiparametric efficiency bound. Our method is applied to a…

含 Tobin 型解释变量的集合识别与敏感性分析AI 解读

We give semiparametric identification and estimation results for econometric models with a regressor that is endogenous, bound censored, and selected; it is called a Tobin regressor. First, we show that the true parameter value is set-identified and characterize the identification sets. Second, we propose novel estimation and inference methods for this true value. These estimation and inference methods are of independent interest and apply to any problem possessing the…

非线性 LATE 模型中的半参数效率AI 解读

In this paper we study semiparametric efficiency for the estimation of a finite-dimensional parameter defined by generalized moment conditions under the local instrumental variable assumptions. These parameters identify treatment effects on the set of compliers under the monotonicity assumption. The distributions of covariates, the treatment dummy, and the binary instrument are not specified in a parametric form, making the model semiparametric. We derive the semiparametric…

一般半参数 M 估计的 Bootstrap 一致性AI 解读

Consider M-estimation in a semiparametric model that is characterized by a Euclidean parameter of interest and an infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter. As a general purpose approach to statistical inferences, the bootstrap has found wide applications in semiparametric M-estimation and, because of its simplicity, provides an attractive alternative to the inference approach based on the asymptotic distribution theory. The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical…

微阵列数据中基因方差的非参数估计AI 解读

Estimation of genewise variance arises from two important applications in microarray data analysis: selecting significantly differentially expressed genes and validation tests for normalization of microarray data. We approach the problem by introducing a two-way nonparametric model, which is an extension of the famous Neyman-Scott model and is applicable beyond microarray data. The problem itself poses interesting challenges because the number of nuisance parameters is…

通过求解逆问题进行非参数估计：以变换模型为例AI 解读

This paper considers a semi‐parametric version of the transformation model φ (Y) =β′X+U under exogeneity or instrumental variables assumptions (E(U∣X) = 0 or . This model is used as an example to illustrate the practice of the estimation by solving linear functional equations. This paper is specially focused on the data‐driven selection of the regularization parameter and of the bandwidths. Simulations experiments illustrate the relevance of this approach.

部分线性模型的方差分析与 F 检验：环境健康数据应用AI 解读

Fish consumption during pregnancy exposes the fetus to both the neurotoxicant methylmercury and nutrients known to be beneficial for brain development. When nutrient status is not measured, maternal methylmercury levels may be a partial biomarker for both toxic and nutrient exposures. It is therefore necessary to employ a flexible model—such as the partial linear model—that will allow for possible nonlinear trends of methylmercury. To enhance interpretations of fitting a…

存在信息性终止事件的重复事件半参数加性率模型AI 解读

We propose a semiparametric additive rate model for modelling recurrent events in the presence of a terminal event. The dependence between recurrent events and terminal event is nonparametric. A general transformation model is used to model the terminal event. We construct an estimating equation for parameter estimation and derive the asymptotic distributions of the proposed estimators. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed inference procedure performs well in…

含多维且部分缺失疾病分类信息的队列研究分析AI 解读

Complex diseases like cancers can often be classified into subtypes using various pathological and molecular traits of the disease. In this article, we develop methods for analysis of disease incidence in cohort studies incorporating data on multiple disease traits using a two-stage semiparametric Cox proportional hazards regression model that allows one to examine the heterogeneity in the effect of the covariates by the levels of the different disease traits. For inference…

删失事件时间的归因分数函数AI 解读

Attributable fractions are commonly used to measure the impact of risk factors on disease incidence in the population. These static measures can be extended to functions of time when the time to disease occurrence or event time is of interest. The present paper deals with nonparametric and semiparametric estimation of attributable fraction functions for cohort studies with potentially censored event time data. The semiparametric models include the familiar proportional…

半参数广义线性潜变量模型的显式估计方程AI 解读

Summary We study generalized linear latent variable models without requiring a distributional assumption of the latent variables. Using a geometric approach, we derive consistent semiparametric estimators. We demonstrate that these models have a property which is similar to that of a sufficient complete statistic, which enables us to simplify the estimating procedure and explicitly to formulate the semiparametric estimating equations. We further show that the explicit…

半参数相对风险Cox模型的惩罚变量选择AI 解读

We study the Cox models with semiparametric relative risk, which can be partially linear with one nonparametric component, or multiple additive or nonadditive nonparametric components. A penalized partial likelihood procedure is proposed to simultaneously estimate the parameters and select variables for both the parametric and the nonparametric parts. Two penalties are applied sequentially. The first penalty, governing the smoothness of the multivariate nonlinear covariate…

多变量分数协整系统的半参数推断AI 解读

A semiparametric multivariate fractionally cointegrated system is considered, integration orders possibly being unknown and I(0) unobservable inputs having nonparametric spectral density. Two estimates of the vector of cointegrating parameters [nu] are considered. One involves inverse spectral weighting and the other is unweighted but uses a spectral estimate at frequency zero. Both corresponding Wald statistics for testing linear restrictions on [nu] are shown to have a…

不完全信息同时行动博弈的半参数估计AI 解读

This paper studies the problem of estimating the normal-form payoff parameters of a simultaneous, discrete game where the realization of such payoffs is not common knowledge. The paper contributes to the existing literature in two ways. First, by making a comparison with the complete information case it formally describes a set of conditions under which allowing for private information in payoffs facilitates the identification of various features of the game. Second,…
