Penalized likelihood methods provide a range of practical modelling tools, including spline smoothing, generalized additive models and variants of ridge regression. Selecting the correct weights for penalties is a critical part of using these methods and in the single-penalty case the analyst has several well-founded techniques to choose from. However, many modelling problems suggest a formulation employing multiple penalties, and here general methodology is lacking. A wide family of models with multiple penalties can be fitted to data by iterative solution of the generalized ridge regression problem minimize || W 1/2 ( Xp − y ) ||2 ρ+Σ i =1 m θ i p ' S i p ( p is a parameter vector, X a design matrix, S i a non-negative definite coefficient matrix defining the i th penalty with associated smoothing parameter θ i , W a diagonal weight matrix, y a vector of data or pseudodata and ρ an 'overall' smoothing parameter included for computational efficiency). This paper shows how smoothing parameter selection can be performed efficiently by applying generalized cross-validation to this problem and how this allows non-linear, generalized linear and linear models to be fitted using multiple penalties, substantially increasing the scope of penalized modelling methods. Examples of non-linear modelling, generalized additive modelling and anisotropic smoothing are given. 相似文献

Summary. We consider the problem of multistep-ahead prediction in time series analysis by using nonparametric smoothing techniques. Forecasting is always one of the main objectives in time series analysis. Research has shown that non-linear time series models have certain advantages in multistep-ahead forecasting. Traditionally, nonparametric k -step-ahead least squares prediction for non-linear autoregressive AR( d ) models is done by estimating E ( X t + k | X t , …, X t − d +1 ) via nonparametric smoothing of X t + k on ( X t , …, X t − d +1 ) directly. We propose a multistage nonparametric predictor. We show that the new predictor has smaller asymptotic mean-squared error than the direct smoother, though the convergence rate is the same. Hence, the predictor proposed is more efficient. Some simulation results, advice for practical bandwidth selection and a real data example are provided. 相似文献

Bayesian model selection for join point regression with application to age-adjusted cancer rates 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Summary. The method of Bayesian model selection for join point regression models is developed. Given a set of K +1 join point models M 0 , M 1 , …, M K with 0, 1, …, K join points respec-tively, the posterior distributions of the parameters and competing models M k are computed by Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations. The Bayes information criterion BIC is used to select the model M k with the smallest value of BIC as the best model. Another approach based on the Bayes factor selects the model M k with the largest posterior probability as the best model when the prior distribution of M k is discrete uniform. Both methods are applied to analyse the observed US cancer incidence rates for some selected cancer sites. The graphs of the join point models fitted to the data are produced by using the methods proposed and compared with the method of Kim and co-workers that is based on a series of permutation tests. The analyses show that the Bayes factor is sensitive to the prior specification of the variance σ 2 , and that the model which is selected by BIC fits the data as well as the model that is selected by the permutation test and has the advantage of producing the posterior distribution for the join points. The Bayesian join point model and model selection method that are presented here will be integrated in the National Cancer Institute's join point software ( http://www.srab.cancer.gov/joinpoint/ ) and will be available to the public. 相似文献

In the estimators t 3 , t 4 , t 5 of Mukerjee, Rao & Vijayan (1987), b y x and b y z are partial regression coefficients of y on x and z , respectively, based on the smaller sample. With the above interpretation of b y x and b y z in t 3 , t 4 , t 5 , all the calculations in Mukerjee at al. (1987) are correct. In this connection, we also wish to make it explicit that b x z in t 5 is an ordinary and not a partial regression coefficient. The 'corrected' MSEs of t 3 , t 4 , t 5 , as given in Ahmed (1998 Section 3) are computed assuming that our b y x and b y z are ordinary and not partial regression coefficients. Indeed, we had no intention of giving estimators using the corresponding ordinary regression coefficients which would lead to estimators inferior to those given by Kiregyera (1984). We accept responsibility for any notational confusion created by us and express regret to readers who have been confused by our notation. Finally, in consideration of the above, it may be noted that Tripathi & Ahmed's (1995) estimator t 0 , quoted also in Ahmed (1998), is no better than t 5 of Mukerjee at al. (1987). 相似文献

Non-parametric Regression with Dependent Censored Data 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract. Let ( X i , Y i ) ( i = 1 ,…, n ) be n replications of a random vector ( X , Y ), where Y is supposed to be subject to random right censoring. The data ( X i , Y i ) are assumed to come from a stationary α -mixing process. We consider the problem of estimating the function m ( x ) = E ( φ ( Y ) | X = x ), for some known transformation φ . This problem is approached in the following way: first, we introduce a transformed variable , that is not subject to censoring and satisfies the relation , and then we estimate m ( x ) by applying local linear regression techniques. As a by-product, we obtain a general result on the uniform rate of convergence of kernel type estimators of functionals of an unknown distribution function, under strong mixing assumptions. 相似文献

Estimating smooth monotone functions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Many situations call for a smooth strictly monotone function f of arbitrary flexibility. The family of functions defined by the differential equation D 2 f = w Df , where w is an unconstrained coefficient function comprises the strictly monotone twice differentiable functions. The solution to this equation is f = C 0 + C 1 D −1 {exp( D −1 w )}, where C 0 and C 1 are arbitrary constants and D −1 is the partial integration operator. A basis for expanding w is suggested that permits explicit integration in the expression of f . In fitting data, it is also useful to regularize f by penalizing the integral of w 2 since this is a measure of the relative curvature in f . Applications are discussed to monotone nonparametric regression, to the transformation of the dependent variable in non-linear regression and to density estimation. 相似文献

This article deals with the general form of the hat matrix and the DFBETA measure to detect the influential observations and the leverages in the linear regression model with more than one regressor when the errors are from AR(1) and AR(2) processes. Previous studies dealing with the influential observations and the leverages in the constant mean model and regression through the origin model are obtained as special cases. To demonstrate the utility of the hat matrix and the DFBETA measure, two numerical examples based on the ice cream consumption data with AR(1) errors and the Fox-Hartnagel data with AR(2) errors are analyzed. The results show that the parameter of the autoregressive process affects the influential and leverage points. 相似文献

Summary. Principal component analysis has become a fundamental tool of functional data analysis. It represents the functional data as X i ( t )= μ ( t )+Σ1≤ l <∞ η i , l + v l ( t ), where μ is the common mean, v l are the eigenfunctions of the covariance operator and the η i , l are the scores. Inferential procedures assume that the mean function μ ( t ) is the same for all values of i . If, in fact, the observations do not come from one population, but rather their mean changes at some point(s), the results of principal component analysis are confounded by the change(s). It is therefore important to develop a methodology to test the assumption of a common functional mean. We develop such a test using quantities which can be readily computed in the R package fda. The null distribution of the test statistic is asymptotically pivotal with a well-known asymptotic distribution. The asymptotic test has excellent finite sample performance. Its application is illustrated on temperature data from England. 相似文献

Bayesian selection of variables is often difficult to carry out because of the challenge in specifying prior distributions for the regression parameters for all possible models, specifying a prior distribution on the model space and computations. We address these three issues for the logistic regression model. For the first, we propose an informative prior distribution for variable selection. Several theoretical and computational properties of the prior are derived and illustrated with several examples. For the second, we propose a method for specifying an informative prior on the model space, and for the third we propose novel methods for computing the marginal distribution of the data. The new computational algorithms only require Gibbs samples from the full model to facilitate the computation of the prior and posterior model probabilities for all possible models. Several properties of the algorithms are also derived. The prior specification for the first challenge focuses on the observables in that the elicitation is based on a prior prediction y 0 for the response vector and a quantity a 0 quantifying the uncertainty in y 0 . Then, y 0 and a 0 are used to specify a prior for the regression coefficients semi-automatically. Examples using real data are given to demonstrate the methodology. 相似文献

Exact expressions for the cumulative distribution function of a random variable of the form ( α 1 X 1 + α 2 X 2 )/ Y are given where X 1 , X 2 and Y are independent chi-squared random variables. The expressions are applied to the detection of joint outliers and Hotelling's mis-specified T 2 distribution. 相似文献

van der Vaart (1953, 1955) introduced the orthoscheme probability Rn (c 1 ,..., cn−1 ), meaning the orthant probability of an n -dimensional normal random vector with zero mean and tridiagonal correlation matrix with elements c 1 ,..., cn−1 on the upper diagonal. Childs (1967) conjectured and Moran (1983) proved that the generating function of { Rn (½,...,½)} equals tan z + sin z . This paper derives the generating function of { Rn (τ,½,...,½)}. 相似文献

A subset T of S is said to be a Pareto Optimal subset of m ordered attributes (factors) if for profiles (combination of attribute levels) ( x 1 , …, xm ) and ( y 1 , …, ym ) ∈ T , no profile 'dominates' another; that is, there exists no pair such that xi ≤ yi , for i = 1, …, m . Pareto Optimal designs have specific applications in economics, cognitive psychology, and marketing research where investigators use main effects linear models to infer how respondents values level of costs and benefits from their preferences for sets of profiles offered them. In such studies, it is desirable that no profile dominates the others in a set. This paper shows how to construct a Pareto Optimal subset, proves that a single Pareto Optimal subset is not a connected main effects plan, provides subsets of two or more attributes that are connected in symmetric designs and gives corresponding results for asymmetric designs. 相似文献

We use Owen's (1988, 1990) empirical likelihood method in upgraded mixture models. Two groups of independent observations are available. One is z 1 , ..., z n which is observed directly from a distribution F ( z ). The other one is x 1 , ..., x m which is observed indirectly from F ( z ), where the x i s have density ∫ p ( x | z ) dF ( z ) and p ( x | z ) is a conditional density function. We are interested in testing H 0 : p ( x | z ) = p ( x | z ; θ ), for some specified smooth density function. A semiparametric likelihood ratio based statistic is proposed and it is shown that it converges to a chi-squared distribution. This is a simple method for doing goodness of fit tests, especially when x is a discrete variable with finitely many values. In addition, we discuss estimation of θ and F ( z ) when H 0 is true. The connection between upgraded mixture models and general estimating equations is pointed out. 相似文献

The hat matrix is widely used as a diagnostic tool in linear regression because it contains the leverages which the independent variables exert on the fitted values. In some experiments, cases with high leverage may be avoided by judicious choice of design for the independent variables. A variety of methods for constructing equileverage designs for linear regression are discussed. Such designs remove one of the factors, namely large leverage points, which can lead to nonrobust estimators and tests. In addition, a method is given for combining equileverage designs to test for lack of fit of the linear model. 相似文献

The objective of this paper is to investigate exact slopes of test statistics { Tn } when the random vectors X 1 , ..., Xn are distributed according to an unknown member of an exponential family { P θ ; θ∈Ω. Here Ω is a parameter set. We will be concerned with the hypothesis testing problem of H 0 θ∈Ω0 vs H 1 : θ∉Ω0 where Ω0 is a subset of Ω. It will be shown that for an important class of problems and test statistics the exact slope of { Tn } at η in Ω−Ω0 is determined by the shortest Kullback–Leibler distance from {θ: Tn (λ(θ)) = Tn (λ(π))} to Ω0 , λθ = E θ )( X ). 相似文献

Leverage values are being used in regression diagnostics as measures of influential observations in the $X$-space. Detection of high leverage values is crucial because of their responsibility for misleading conclusion about the fitting of a regression model, causing multicollinearity problems, masking and/or swamping of outliers, etc. Much work has been done on the identification of single high leverage points and it is generally believed that the problem of detection of a single high leverage point has been largely resolved. But there is no general agreement among the statisticians about the detection of multiple high leverage points. When a group of high leverage points is present in a data set, mainly because of the masking and/or swamping effects the commonly used diagnostic methods fail to identify them correctly. On the other hand, the robust alternative methods can identify the high leverage points correctly but they have a tendency to identify too many low leverage points to be points of high leverages which is not also desired. An attempt has been made to make a compromise between these two approaches. We propose an adaptive method where the suspected high leverage points are identified by robust methods and then the low leverage points (if any) are put back into the estimation data set after diagnostic checking. The usefulness of our newly proposed method for the detection of multiple high leverage points is studied by some well-known data sets and Monte Carlo simulations. 相似文献

Abstract. We consider estimation of the upper boundary point F −1 (1) of a distribution function F with finite upper boundary or 'frontier' in deconvolution problems, primarily focusing on deconvolution models where the noise density is decreasing on the positive halfline. Our estimates are based on the (non-parametric) maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of F . We show that (1) is asymptotically never too small. If the convolution kernel has bounded support the estimator (1) can generally be expected to be consistent. In this case, we establish a relation between the extreme value index of F and the rate of convergence of (1) to the upper support point for the 'boxcar' deconvolution model. If the convolution density has unbounded support, (1) can be expected to overestimate the upper support point. We define consistent estimators , for appropriately chosen vanishing sequences ( β n ) and study these in a particular case. 相似文献

Suppose that {( X n , Y n )} is a sequence of pairs of cector-valued stochastic variables which converges weakly to ( X , Y ), and that { y n } converges to y . Sufficient conditions for the conditional distribution of X n given Y = y are given in terms of stochastic monotonicity. Conditions, which guarantee that also moments of the conditional distributions converge to the moments of the ones of the limit, are also derived. 相似文献
