Fridge：面向个体预测的岭回归聚焦调参AI 解读

Statistical prediction methods typically require some form of fine-tuning of tuning parameter(s), with $K$-fold cross-validation as the canonical procedure. For ridge regression there exist numerous procedures, but common for all, including cross-validation, is that one single parameter is chosen for all future predictions. We propose instead to calculate a unique tuning parameter for each individual for which we wish to predict an outcome. This generates an individualized…

聚焦信息准则AI 解读

The focused information criterion is used to make a choice among several statistical models, or among several variables to include in a model. Different from other such information criteria, the focused information criterion is constructed to select the best model for a given interest quantity, the focus of the research question. Different such focus parameters may lead to different selected models, each one best for the corresponding focus. What is `best' is defined by a…

模型参数随时间恒定性的检验AI 解读

Suppose that a sequence of data points follows a distribution of a certain parametric form, but that one or more of the underlying parameters may change over time. This paper addresses various natural questions in such a framework. We construct canonical monitoring processes which under the hypothesis of no change converge in distribution to independent Brownian bridges, and use these to construct natural goodness-of-fit statistics. Weighted versions of these are also…

泊松对建模的二乘二列联表：基于置信分布的固定与随机效应最优推断AI 解读

This paper presents methods for meta-analysis of $2 \times 2$ tables, both with and without allowing heterogeneity in the treatment effects. Meta-analysis is common in medical research, but most existing methods are unsuited for $2 \times 2$ tables with rare events. Usually the tables are modelled as pairs of binomial variables, but we will model them as Poisson pairs. The methods presented here are based on confidence distributions, and offer optimal inference for the…

参数还是非参数：平稳时间序列的聚焦信息准则方法AI 解读

We seek to narrow the gap between parametric and nonparametric modelling of stationary time series processes. The approach is inspired by recent advances in focused inference and model selection techniques. The paper generalises and extends recent work by developing a new version of the focused information criterion (FIC), directly comparing the performance of parametric time series models with a nonparametric alternative. For a pre-specified focused parameter, for which…
