非线性测量误差模型的工具变量估计AI 解读

This paper establishes that instruments enable the identification of nonparametric regression models in the presence of measurement error by providing a closed form solution for the regression function in terms of Fourier transforms of conditional expectations of observable variables. For parametrically specified regression functions, we propose a root n consistent and asymptotically normal estimator that takes the familiar form of a generalized method of moments estimator…

欧元区的国际联系：全球 VAR 分析AI 解读

Abstract This paper presents a quarterly global model combining individual country vector error‐correcting models in which the domestic variables are related to the country‐specific foreign variables. The global VAR (GVAR) model is estimated for 26 countries, the euro area being treated as a single economy, over the period 1979–2003. It advances research in this area in a number of directions. In particular, it provides a theoretical framework where the GVAR is derived as an…

计数时间序列参数驱动模型的辅助混合抽样及状态空间应用AI 解读

We consider parameter-driven models of time series of counts, where the observations are assumed to arise from a Poisson distribution with a mean changing over time according to a latent process. Estimation of these models is carried out within a Bayesian framework using data augmentation and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. We suggest a new auxiliary mixture sampler, which possesses a Gibbsian transition kernel, where we draw from full conditional distributions belonging…

讨论：风险最小化中的局部Rademacher复杂度与预言机不等式AI 解读

Koltchinskii is to be congratulated for developing a unified framework.This elegant framework is general and allows a user to apply it directly instead of deriving bounds in each risk minimization problem.In the past decade, the problem of risk minimization has been extensively studied in function estimation and classification.In function estimation, it has been investigated using the empirical process technique under the name of minimum contrast or sieve estimation in, for…

高效独立成分分析AI 解读

Independent component analysis (ICA) has been widely used for blind source separation in many fields, such as brain imaging analysis, signal processing and telecommunication. Many statistical techniques based on M-estimates have been proposed for estimating the mixing matrix. Recently, several nonparametric methods have been developed, but in-depth analysis of asymptotic efficiency has not been available. We analyze ICA using semiparametric theories and propose a…

分数协整子空间的半参数估计AI 解读

We consider a common-components model for multivariate fractional cointegration, in which the $s\geq1$ components have different memory parameters. The cointegrating rank may exceed 1. We decompose the true cointegrating vectors into orthogonal fractional cointegrating subspaces such that vectors from distinct subspaces yield cointegrating errors with distinct memory parameters. We estimate each cointegrating subspace separately, using appropriate sets of eigenvectors of an…

高斯局部平稳过程的非参数准最大似然估计AI 解读

This paper deals with nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation for Gaussian locally stationary processes. Our nonparametric MLE is constructed by minimizing a frequency domain likelihood over a class of functions. The asymptotic behavior of the resulting estimator is studied. The results depend on the richness of the class of functions. Both sieve estimation and global estimation are considered. Our results apply, in particular, to estimation under shape constraints. As…

利用投影的回归模型一致诊断检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a consistent test for the goodness-of-fit of parametric regression models that overcomes two important problems of the existing tests, namely, the poor empirical power and size performance of the tests due to the curse of dimensionality and the subjective choice of parameters such as bandwidths, kernels, and integrating measures. We overcome these problems by using a residual marked empirical process based on projections (RMPP). We study the asymptotic…

用于时间序列预测的函数型小波—核方法AI 解读

Summary We consider the prediction problem of a time series on a whole time interval in terms of its past. The approach that we adopt is based on functional kernel nonparametric regression estimation techniques where observations are discrete recordings of segments of an underlying stochastic process considered as curves. These curves are assumed to lie within the space of continuous functions, and the discretized time series data set consists of a relatively small, compared…

局部平稳过程的模型选择与半参数估计AI 解读

Summary Over recent decades increasingly more attention has been paid to the problem of how to fit a parametric model of time series with time-varying parameters. A typical example is given by autoregressive models with time-varying parameters. We propose a procedure to fit such time-varying models to general non-stationary processes. The estimator is a maximum Whittle likelihood estimator on sieves. The results do not assume that the observed process belongs to a specific…

交叉验证与非参数 k 最近邻估计AI 解读

In this paper we consider the problem of estimating a non-parametric regression function using the k nearest-neighbour method. We provide asymptotic theories for the least-squares cross validation (CV) selected smoothing parameter k for both local constant and local linear estimation methods. We also establish the asymptotic normality results for the resulting non-parametric regression function estimators. Some limited Monte Carlo experiments show that the CV method performs…

二元因变量的非参数回归AI 解读

Finite-sample properties of non-parametric regression for binary dependent variables are analyzed. Non parametric regression is generally considered as highly variable in small samples when the number of regressors is large. In binary choice models, however, it may be more reliable since its variance is bounded. The precision in estimating conditional means as well as marginal effects is investigated in settings with many explanatory variables (14 regressors) and small…

线性与非线性自回归模型的有效预测AI 解读

Conditional expectations given past observations in stationary time series are usually estimated directly by kernel estimators, or by plugging in kernel estimators for transition densities. We show that, for linear and nonlinear autoregressive models driven by independent innovations, appropriate smoothed and weighted von Mises statistics of residuals estimate conditional expectations at better parametric rates and are asymptotically efficient. The proof is based on a…

非参数二元回归中高斯过程先验的后验一致性AI 解读

Consider binary observations whose response probability is an unknown smooth function of a set of covariates. Suppose that a prior on the response probability function is induced by a Gaussian process mapped to the unit interval through a link function. In this paper we study consistency of the resulting posterior distribution. If the covariance kernel has derivatives up to a desired order and the bandwidth parameter of the kernel is allowed to take arbitrarily small values,…

加性模型的一种简便平滑后拟合方法AI 解读

In this paper a new smooth backfitting estimate is proposed for additive regression models. The estimate has the simple structure of Nadaraya–Watson smooth backfitting but at the same time achieves the oracle property of local linear smooth backfitting. Each component is estimated with the same asymptotic accuracy as if the other components were known.

关于条件生长曲线方法的讨论AI 解读

Overview.Wei and He are to be congratulated on an innovative and important article.The conditional approach to growth charts described in their article is important in a practical sense, and the use of quantile regression is both natural and well motivated.We look forward to further application of their idea to actual practice, because the concept of "falling behind" in one's growth cycle has two meanings: the usual standard growth chart, and the conditional growth chart…

多元非参数回归中的分量选择与平滑AI 解读

We propose a new method for model selection and model fitting in multivariate nonparametric regression models, in the framework of smoothing spline ANOVA. The “COSSO” is a method of regularization with the penalty functional being the sum of component norms, instead of the squared norm employed in the traditional smoothing spline method. The COSSO provides a unified framework for several recent proposals for model selection in linear models and smoothing spline ANOVA models.…

不增加方差的长记忆参数偏差缩减对数周期图与 Whittle 估计AI 解读

The bias-reduced log-periodogram estimator of Andrews and Guggenberger (2003, Econometrica 71, 675–712) for the long-memory parameter d in a stationary long-memory time series reduces the asymptotic bias of the original log-periodogram estimator of Geweke and Porter-Hudak (1983) by an order of magnitude but inflates the asymptotic variance by a multiplicative constant cr, for example, c1 = 2.25 and c2 = 3.52. In this paper, we introduce a new, computationally attractive…

函数型数据的自由结点样条平滑AI 解读

Summary The paper introduces free-knot regression spline estimators for the mean and the variance components of a sample of curves. The asymptotic distribution of the mean estimator is derived, and asymptotic confidence bands are constructed. A comparative simulation study shows that free-knot splines estimate salient features of the functions (such as sharp peaks) more accurately than smoothing splines. This adaptive behaviour is also illustrated by an analysis of weather…

地理加性生存模型AI 解读

Survival data often contain small-area geographical or spatial information, such as the residence of individuals. In many cases, the impact of such spatial effects on hazard rates is of considerable substantive interest. Therefore, extensions of known survival or hazard rate models to spatial models have been suggested. Mostly, a spatial component is added to the usual linear predictor of the Cox model. In this article flexible continuous-time geoadditive models are…

半参数多元 Copula 模型的有效估计AI 解读

We propose a sieve maximum likelihood estimation procedure for a broad class of semiparametric multivariate distributions. A joint distribution in this class is characterized by a parametric copula function evaluated at nonparametric marginal distributions. This class of distributions has gained popularity in diverse fields due to its flexibility in separately modeling the dependence structure and the marginal behaviors of a multivariate random variable, and its…

Limit distributions for the greatest convex minorant and its derivative are considered for a general class of stochastic processes including partial sum processes and empirical processes, for independent, weakly dependent and long range dependent data. The results are applied to isotonic regression, isotonic regression after kernel smoothing, estimation of convex regression functions, and estimation of monotone and convex density functions. Various pointwise limit…

风险包络方法与不适定逆问题的投影正则化AI 解读

We study a standard method of regularization by projections of the linear inverse problem Y=Af+ε, where ε is a white Gaussian noise, and A is a known compact operator with singular values converging to zero with polynomial decay. The unknown function f is recovered by a projection method using the singular value decomposition of A. The bandwidth choice of this projection regularization is governed by a data-driven procedure which is based on the principle of risk hull…
