This article describes a new approach for constructing robust location estimators. These estimators are constructed to be nearly optimal in small sample sizes simultaneously for two or more possible underlying shapes of the density of the data. The estimators are weighted averages of the maximum likelihood estimators for the densities considered, where the weights depend on the sample through the likelihood functions. Because of this relationship to the usual MLE's, these estimators are called compromise maximum likelihood estimators (CMLE's). For the CMLE's to exhibit good robustness properties, the densities used to construct the CMLE's should be chosen to, in a sense, “span” a reasonable range of possible underlying distributions of the data encountered in practice. For example, to construct CMLE's with the usual robustness properties, that is, which perform well both for narrow-tailed Gaussian data and for data containing outliers or from wide-tailed distributions, the CMLE's might be constructed based on the Gaussian distribution and a wide-tailed distribution such as the slash distribution. One would then expect that the CMLE's would perform well for data from all symmetric distributions with tails that are in between these two extremes. To verify that this is the case, Monte Carlo results are presented for CMLE's that compromise between the Gaussian and slash distributions for sample sizes 5, 10, and 20. Results are presented both for the Gaussian and slash distributions, which are used to construct the estimators, and for Student's t distributions with 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10 df, which have tails in between the Gaussian and slash extremes. The results show that the Gaussian-slash CMLE's perform better than the usual robust location estimators such as the M estimators and trimmed means. As an example of application of the estimators to real data, the behavior of the estimators for some stock portfolio return data is also examined.
This article introduces a framework for evaluating statistical decisions under both prior ambiguity and likelihood misspecification. We begin with an ambiguity set - a frequentist model that pairs a possibly misspecified likelihood with every possible prior - and uniformly expand it by a Kullback-Leibler radius to accommodate likelihood misspecification. We show that optimal decisions under this framework are equivalent to minimax decisions with an exponentially tilted loss…
RBF 核高斯过程最大似然估计的精确渐近理论
Gaussian processes (GPs) are widely used across machine learning, spatial statistics, time-series analysis, optimization, Bayesian statistics, and scientific applications. A central component of a GP model is its kernel, which is typically specified through a parametric family. Among the most widely used choices is the radial basis function (RBF), also known as the squared exponential or Gaussian kernel, owing to its simple form, smoothness, and flexibility. In practice, the…
理性疏忽—加性随机效用模型的估计
This paper develops likelihood-based estimation for parametric rational inattention--additive random utility models. We establish consistency and asymptotic normality of the exact maximum likelihood estimator and provide conditions under which the simulated estimator shares its asymptotic distribution. To implement estimation, we develop Newton--BA, a KKT-guided hybrid of Newton--Raphson and Blahut--Arimoto (BA). The algorithm accommodates both interior and boundary…
面板信息矩阵检验
The Information Matrix (IM) test is a natural specification check for likelihood-based models, yet cross-sectional implementations are often badly sized, confound neglected heterogeneity with distributional misspecification, and require third derivatives. We develop the panel information matrix (PIM) test for models with fixed effects. Explicit fixed effects isolate functional-form misspecification from time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity. Although the profile maximum…
受限因变量模型中可扩展的似然推断
Limited dependent variable models are central to empirical economics, but likelihood-based inference is infeasible when likelihoods involve high-dimensional integration over latent variables. This paper proposes Stochastically Estimated Gradient Ascent (SEGA), a scalable estimation approach for limited dependent variable models. Using Fisher's identity, SEGA replaces the intractable likelihood score with an unbiased augmented data score evaluated at a single conditional draw…
在线实验的设计驱动推断:证据收集、检验与估计的联合最优性
Online multifactorial experiments requires early stopping for practically negligible effects while controlling false stopping under continuous monitoring and retaining precise treatment-effect estimation. We develop a design-driven framework that chooses allocation and the evidence rule jointly, treating allocation as evidence collection and testing and estimation as complementary uses of the same evidence. For multifactor experiments with nuisance block effects and…
