We study nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation of probability densities under a total variation (TV) type penalty, sectional variation norm (also named as Hardy-Krause variation). TV regularization has a long history in regression and density estimation, including results on $L^2$ and KL divergence convergence rates. Here, we revisit this task using the Highly Adaptive Lasso (HAL) framework. We formulate a HAL-based maximum likelihood estimator (HAL-MLE) using the log-spline link function from \citet{kooperberg1992logspline}, and show that in the univariate setting the bounded sectional variation norm assumption underlying HAL coincides with the classical bounded TV assumption. This equivalence directly connects HAL-MLE to existing TV-penalized approaches such as local adaptive splines \citep{mammen1997locally}. We establish three new theoretical results: (i) the univariate HAL-MLE is asymptotically linear, (ii) it admits pointwise asymptotic normality, and (iii) it achieves uniform convergence at rate $n^{-(k+1)/(2k+3)}$ up to logarithmic factors for the smoothness order $k \geq 1$. These results extend existing results from \citet{van2017uniform}, which previously guaranteed only uniform consistency without rates when $k=0$. We will include the uniform convergence for general dimension $d$ in the follow-up work of this paper. The intention of this paper is to provide a unified framework for the TV-penalized density estimation methods, and to connect the HAL-MLE to the existing TV-penalized methods in the univariate case, despite that the general HAL-MLE is defined for multivariate cases.
目标函数的目标化高度自适应Lasso最小损失估计
We propose a Targeted Highly Adaptive Lasso for estimation of non-pathwise differentiable functional parameters such as the dose-response curve (DRC) for continuous exposure. We assume the target function lies in the $k$-th order smoothness class used to define the $k$-th order Highly Adaptive Lasso (HAL), which can be well approximated by linear spans of $k$-th order spline basis functions. We construct a projection of the true target function onto a large finite…
XMSE 感知的自适应经验贝叶斯估计
Empirical Bayes (EB) estimators can match the first-order asymptotic risk of maximum likelihood (ML) while behaving very differently at second order: recent excess mean squared error (XMSE) analysis shows that kernel-based EB estimation may be worse than ML when the kernel is poorly aligned with the true parameter. This paper turns that diagnostic into a design principle. We propose an XMSE-aware mixed estimator that interpolates between ML and EB shrinkage. Its fixed-weight…
弱矩方法用于统计推断:兼论稳健估计应用
A companion paper develops a generalised framework in which a probability law is represented by a tempered distribution $T\in\mathcal{S}'$ - on the same footing as a density or characteristic function - and information is extracted by pairing $T$ with a positive Schwartz kernel $\varphi$ that acts as a measurement instrument rather than as part of the law; the resulting weak moments of all orders exist unconditionally. The present paper turns this into a methodology for…
含随机变点的区间删失失效时间数据估计与变量选择
Motivated by a breast cancer study, we consider regression analysis of interval-censored failure time data in the presence of a random change point. Although a great deal of literature on interval-censored data has been established, there does not seem to exist an established method that can allow for the existence of random change points. Such data can occur in, for example, clinical trials where the risk of a disease may dramatically change when some biological indexes of…
未观测混杂下事件时间数据的二元变换模型:重访伊利诺伊再就业奖励实验
Motivated by empirical studies investigating treatment effects in survival analysis, we propose a bivariate transformation model to quantify the impact of a binary treatment on a time-to-event outcome. The model equations are connected through a bivariate Gaussian distribution, with the dependence parameter capturing unobserved confounding, and are specified as functions of additive predictors to flexibly account for the impacts of observed confounders. Moreover, the…
通过拟限制最大似然高效选择非参数马尔可夫转换模型的平滑程度
Markov-switching models are powerful tools that allow capturing complex patterns from time series data driven by latent states. Recent work has highlighted the benefits of estimating components of these models nonparametrically, enhancing their flexibility and reducing biases, which in turn can improve state decoding, forecasting, and overall inference. Formulating such models using penalized splines is straightforward, but practically feasible methods for a data-driven…
