线性协变量含测量误差的半参数变系数部分线性模型推断AI 解读

We study semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear models when some linear covariates are not observed, but ancillary variables are available. Semiparametric profile least-square-based estimation procedures are developed for parametric and nonparametric components after we calibrate the error-prone covariates. Asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are established. We also propose the profile least-square-based ratio test and Wald test to identify…

利用高频数据估计含跳跃的连续时间随机波动率模型AI 解读

This paper proposes a method of inference for general stochastic volatility models containing price jumps. The estimation is based on treating realized multipower variation statistics calculated from high-frequency data as their unobservable (fill-in) asymptotic limits. The paper provides easy-to-check conditions under which the error in estimation resulting from this approximation is op(1) and additional ones under which it is , where T is the number of days in the sample.…

通过降维进行回归模型检验AI 解读

Lack-of-fit checking for parametric and semiparametric models is essential in reducing misspecification. The efficiency of most existing model-checking methods drops rapidly as the dimension of the covariates increases. We propose to check a model by projecting the fitted residuals along a direction that adapts to the systematic departure of the residuals from the desired pattern. Consistency of the method is proved for parametric and semiparametric regression models. A…

连续结局两阶段结局依赖抽样的半参数有效推断AI 解读

Outcome-dependent sampling designs have been shown to be a cost effective way to enhance study efficiency. We show that the outcome-dependent sampling design with a continuous outcome can be viewed as an extension of the two-stage case-control designs to the continuous-outcome case. We further show that the two-stage outcome-dependent sampling has a natural link with the missing-data and biased-sampling framework. Through the use of semiparametric inference and missing-data…

调制更新过程模型的伪鞅估计方程AI 解读

Summary We adapt martingale estimating equations based on gap time information to a general intensity model for a single realization of a modulated renewal process. The consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators is proved under ergodicity conditions. Previous work has considered either parametric likelihood analysis or semiparametric multiplicative models using partial likelihood. The framework is generally applicable to semiparametric and parametric models,…

含交互作用的半参数模型检验及基因—环境交互应用AI 解读

Summary Motivated from the problem of testing for genetic effects on complex traits in the presence of gene–environment interaction, we develop score tests in general semiparametric regression problems that involves Tukey style 1 degree-of-freedom form of interaction between parametrically and non-parametrically modelled covariates. We find that the score test in this type of model, as recently developed by Chatterjee and co-workers in the fully parametric setting, is biased…

半参数协整秩选择AI 解读

. The limit distribution of the AIC criterion, which is inconsistent, is also obtained. The analysis provides a general limit theory for semiparametric reduced rank regression under weakly dependent errors. The method does not require the specification of a full model, is convenient for practical implementation in empirical work, and is sympathetic with semiparametric estimation approaches to co-integration analysis. Some simulation results on the finite sample performance…

样本选择模型的两步级数估计AI 解读

Sample selection models are important for correcting the effects of non-random sampling. This paper is about semiparametric estimation using a series approximation to the correction term. Regression spline and power series approximations are considered. Asymptotic normality and consistency of an asymptotic variance estimator are shown. Copyright (C) The Author(s).

动态线性模型的分布无关设定检验AI 解读

-process of the residuals. This transformation approximates the martingale component of the process so that it converges weakly to the standard Brownian motion under the null hypothesis. One feature of our setup is that we do not require to specify the dynamic structure of the regressors. Due to this, the transformation employs a semi-parametric correction that does not restrict the class of local alternatives that our tests can detect, in contrast with other works using…

统计处理规则的渐近理论AI 解读

This paper develops asymptotic optimality theory for statistical treatment rules in smooth parametric and semiparametric models. Manski (2000, 2002, 2004) and Dehejia (2005) have argued that the problem of choosing treatments to maximize social welfare is distinct from the point estimation and hypothesis testing problems usually considered in the treatment effects literature, and advocate formal analysis of decision procedures that map empirical data into treatment choices.…

预测变量轨迹聚类间响应密度变化的贝叶斯推断AI 解读

In epidemiology, it is often of interest to assess how individuals with different trajectories over time in an environmental exposure or biomarker differ with respect to a continuous response. For ease in interpretation and presentation of results, epidemiologists typically categorize predictors prior to analysis. To extend this approach to time-varying predictors, one can cluster individuals by their predictor trajectory, with the cluster index included as a predictor in a…

纵向数据协方差矩阵的半参数估计AI 解读

Estimation of longitudinal data covariance structure poses significant challenges because the data are usually collected at irregular time points. A viable semiparametric model for covariance matrices was proposed in Fan, Huang and Li (2007) that allows one to estimate the variance function nonparametrically and to estimate the correlation function parametrically via aggregating information from irregular and sparse data points within each subject. However, the asymptotic…

弹性估计的推断方法AI 解读

Elasticities are often estimated from the results of demand analysis. However, drawing inferences from them may involve assumptions that could influence the outcome. In this paper we investigate one of the most common forms of elasticity which is defined as a ratio of estimated relationships and demonstrate how the Fieller method for the construction of confidence intervals can be used to draw inferences. We estimate the elasticities of expenditure from Engel curves using a…

用于多项选择的贝叶斯混合 Logit–Probit 模型AI 解读

In this paper, we introduce a new flexible mixed model for multinomial discrete choice where the key individual- and alternative-specific parameters of interest are allowed to follow an assumption-free nonparametric density specification, while other alternative-specific coefficients are assumed to be drawn from a multivariate Normal distribution, which eliminates the independence of irrelevant alternatives assumption at the individual level. A hierarchical specification of…

含无限维干扰参数的半参数估计中的效率悖论AI 解读

This note considers a puzzling phenomenon that is observed in some semiparametric estimation problems. In some cases, using estimated values of the nuisance parameters provides a more efficient estimator for the parameters of interest than does using the true values. This phenomenon takes place even in cases of semi-nonparametric models in which the nuisance parameters are infinite-dimensional and cannot be estimated at the parametric rate. We examine the structure and…

半参数多指标模型的设定与估计AI 解读

We propose an easy to use derivative-based two-step estimation procedure for semiparametric index models, where the number of indexes is not known a priori. In the first step various functionals involving the derivatives of the unknown function are estimated using nonparametric kernel estimators, in particular the average outer product of the gradient (AOPG). By testing the rank of the AOPG we determine the required number of indexes. Subsequently, we estimate the index…

二元生存数据正态变换模型的半参数极大似然估计AI 解读

We consider a class of semiparametric normal transformation models for right censored bivariate failure times. Nonparametric hazard rate models are transformed to a standard normal model and a joint normal distribution is assumed for the bivariate vector of transformed variates. A semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation procedure is developed for estimating the marginal survival distribution and the pairwise correlation parameters. This produces an efficient estimator…

广义混合效应模型中的半参数推断AI 解读

Summary The paper presents a study of the generalized partially linear model including random effects in its linear part. We propose an estimator that combines likelihood approaches for mixed effects models, with kernel methods. Following the methodology of Härdle and co-workers, we introduce a test for the hypothesis of a parametric mixed effects model against the alternative of a semiparametric mixed effects model. The critical values are estimated by using a bootstrap…

强依赖过程的非线性模型及金融应用AI 解读

This paper is motivated by recent evidence that many univariate economic and financial time series have both nonlinear and long memory characteristics. Hence, this paper considers a general nonlinear, smooth transition regime autoregression which is embedded within a strongly dependent, long memory process. A time domain MLE with simultaneous estimation of the long memory, linear AR and nonlinear parameters is shown to have desirable asymptotic properties. The Bayesian and…

财政政策与资产市场：半参数分析AI 解读

Using a flexible semiparametric varying coefficient model specification, this paper examines the role of fiscal policy on the US asset markets (stocks, corporate and treasury bonds). We consider two possible roles of fiscal deficits (or surpluses): as a separate direct information variable and as a (indirect) conditioning information variable indicating binding constraints on monetary policy actions. The results show that the impact of monetary policy on the stock market…

离散化扩散模型的设定检验：理论与实践AI 解读

We propose two new tests for the specification of both the drift and the diffusion functions in a discretized version of a semiparametric continuous-time financial econometric model. Theoretically, we establish some asymptotic consistency results for the proposed tests. Practically, a simple selection procedure for the bandwidth parameter involved in each of the proposed tests is established based on the assessment of the power function of the test under study. To the best…

对数变换模型中的半参数导数估计AI 解读

This paper considers a regression model with a log-transformed dependent variable. The log transformed model is estimated by simple least squares, but computing the conditional mean of the dependent variable on the original scale given the explanatory variables requires knowing the conditional distribution of the error term in the transformed model. We show how to obtain a consistent estimator for the conditional mean and its derivatives without specifying the conditional…

分组因变量的半参数分析及其在医师慈善诊疗供给中的应用AI 解读

We present estimators for semiparametric regression models where the dependent variable is grouped, that is, known to fall in a specified group with observable thresholds while its true value remains latent. Income, weeks unemployed, and treatment length are examples of such variables. Because the model is not amenable to direct estimation, estimators are derived from a transform in which the index emerges as the partially linear component in a vector of identities.…

变系数动态面板模型的非参数估计AI 解读

We suggest using a class of semiparametric dynamic panel data models to capture individual variations in panel data. The model assumes linearity in some continuous/discrete variables that can be exogenous/endogenous and allows for nonlinearity in other weakly exogenous variables. We propose a nonparametric generalized method of moments (NPGMM) procedure to estimate the functional coefficients, and we establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the resulting…
