We consider the static linear panel data model with a single regressor. For this model, we derive the LIML estimator. We study the asymptotic behavior of this estimator under many-instruments asymptotics, by showing its consistency, deriving its asymptotic variance, and by presenting an estimator of the asymptotic variance that is consistent under many-instruments asymptotics. We briefly indicate the extension to the static panel data model with multiple regressors. 相似文献

The problem of interest is to estimate the concentration curve and the area under the curve (AUC) by estimating the parameters of a linear regression model with an autocorrelated error process. We introduce a simple linear unbiased estimator of the concentration curve and the AUC. We show that this estimator constructed from a sampling design generated by an appropriate density is asymptotically optimal in the sense that it has exactly the same asymptotic performance as the best linear unbiased estimator. Moreover, we prove that the optimal design is robust with respect to a minimax criterion. When repeated observations are available, this estimator is consistent and has an asymptotic normal distribution. Finally, a simulated annealing algorithm is applied to a pharmacokinetic model with correlated errors. 相似文献

We provide an estimate of the score function for rank regression using compactly supported wavelets. This estimate is then used to find a rank-based asymptotically efficient estimator for the slope parameter of a linear model. We also provide a consistent estimator of the asymptotic variance of the rank estimator. For related mixed models, the asymptotic relative efficiency is also discussed 相似文献

We consider estimation of the linear part in a partially linear model for absolutely regular observations. The estimator using random weights are proposed and the asymptotic normality of the estimator is established without compact support assumption. 相似文献

In this paper, we obtain the strong consistency and asymptotic distribution of the Theil–Sen estimator in simple linear regression models with arbitrary error distributions. We show that the Theil–Sen estimator is super-efficient when the error distribution is discontinuous and that its asymptotic distribution may or may not be normal when the error distribution is continuous. We give an example in which the Theil–Sen estimator is not asymptotically normal. A small simulation study is conducted to confirm the super-efficiency and the non-normality of the asymptotic distribution. 相似文献

We propose linear and nonlinear wavelet-based hazard rate estimators where the linear estimator is equivalent to a generalized kernel estimator. An asymptotic formula for the mean integrated squared error (MISE) of the nonlinear wavelet-based hazard rate estimator is provided. It is shown that the MISE formula for the nonlinear estimator is available for hazard rates which are smooth only in a piecewise sense, a feature not available for the kernel estimators. 相似文献

AbstractThis article concerns the stochastically constrained linear model under a biased assumption. We propose a quasi-stochastically constrained least squares estimator. Furthermore, we provide the expectation of this estimator, demonstrate its consistency and asymptotic normality. In the end of the article, the simulation study of the new estimator shows that it is superior to the least squares estimator, ridge estimator, and the linear constrained estimators under certain conditions by comparing the mean squared errors of these estimators. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose two new estimators of treatment effects in regression discontinuity designs. These estimators can aid understanding of the existing estimators such as the local polynomial estimator and the partially linear estimator. The first estimator is the partially polynomial estimator which extends the partially linear estimator by further incorporating derivative differences of the conditional mean of the outcome on the two sides of the discontinuity point. This estimator is related to the local polynomial estimator by a relocalization effect. Unlike the partially linear estimator, this estimator can achieve the optimal rate of convergence even under broader regularity conditions. The second estimator is an instrumental variable estimator in the fuzzy design. This estimator will reduce to the local polynomial estimator if higher order endogeneities are neglected. We study the asymptotic properties of these two estimators and conduct simulation studies to confirm the theoretical analysis. 相似文献

We consider asymptotic expansion of the nonparametric M-estimator in a fixed-design nonlinear regression model when the errors are generated by long-memory linear processes. Under mild conditions, we show that the nonparametric M-estimator is first-order equivalent to the Nadaraya-Watson (NW) estimator, which implies that the nonparametric M-estimator has the same asymptotic distribution as that of the NW estimator. Furthermore, we study the second-order asymptotic expansion of the nonparametric M-estimator and show that the difference between the nonparametric M-estimator and the NW estimator has a limiting distribution after suitable standardization. The nature of the limiting distribution depends on the range of long-memory parameter α. We also compare the finite sample behavior of the two estimators through a numerical example when the errors are long-memory. 相似文献

The Buckley–James estimator (BJE) is a widely recognized approach in dealing with right-censored linear regression models. There have been a lot of discussions in the literature on the estimation of the BJE as well as its asymptotic distribution. So far, no simulation has been done to directly estimate the asymptotic variance of the BJE. Kong and Yu [Asymptotic distributions of the Buckley–James estimator under nonstandard conditions, Statist. Sinica 17 (2007), pp. 341–360] studied the asymptotic distribution under discontinuous assumptions. Based on their methodology, we recalculate and correct some missing terms in the expression of the asymptotic variance in Theorem 2 of their work. We propose an estimator of the standard deviation of the BJE by using plug-in estimators. The estimator is shown to be consistent. The performance of the estimator is accessed through simulation studies under discrete underline distributions. We further extend our studies to several continuous underline distributions through simulation. The estimator is also applied to a real medical data set. The simulation results suggest that our estimation is a good approximation to the true standard deviation with reference to the empirical standard deviation. 相似文献

This paper considers nonparametric regression estimation in the context of dependent biased nonnegative data using a generalized asymmetric kernel. It may be applied to a wider variety of practical situations, such as the length and size biased data. We derive theoretical results using a deep asymptotic analysis of the behavior of the estimator that provides consistency and asymptotic normality in addition to the evaluation of the asymptotic bias term. The asymptotic mean squared error is also derived in order to obtain the optimal value of smoothing parameters required in the proposed estimator. The results are stated under a stationary ergodic assumption, without assuming any traditional mixing conditions. A simulation study is carried out to compare the proposed estimator with the local linear regression estimate. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider using a local linear (LL) smoothing method to estimate a class of discontinuous regression functions. We establish the asymptotic normality of the integrated square error (ISE) of a LL-type estimator and show that the ISE has an asymptotic rate of convergence as good as for smooth functions, and the asymptotic rate of convergence of the ISE of the LL estimator is better than that of the Nadaraya-Watson (NW) and the Gasser-Miiller (GM) estimators. 相似文献

We study the behaviour of the Wald estimator of causal effects in regression discontinuity design when local linear regression (LLR) methods are combined with an asymmetric gamma kernel. We show that the resulting statistic is no more complex to implement than existing methods, remains consistent at the usual non-parametric rate, and maintains an asymptotic normal distribution but, crucially, has bias and variance that do not depend on kernel-related constants. As a result, the new estimator is more efficient and yields more reliable inference. A limited Monte Carlo experiment is used to illustrate the efficiency gains. As a by product of the main discussion, we extend previous published work by establishing the asymptotic normality of the LLR estimator with a gamma kernel. Finally, the new method is used in a substantive application. 相似文献

Two common kernel-based methods for non-parametric regression estimation suffer from well-known drawbacks when the design is random. The Gasser-Müller estimator is inadmissible due to its high variance while the Nadaraya-Watson estimator has zero asymptotic efficiency because of poor bias behavior. Under asymptotic consideration, the local linear estimator avoids these two drawbacks of kernel estimators and achieves minimax optimality. However, when based on compact support kernels its finite sample behavior is disappointing because sudden kinks may show up in the estimate. This paper proposes a modification of the kernel estimator, called the binned convolution estimator leading to a fast O(n) method. Provided the design density is continously differentiable and the conditional fourth moments exist the binned convolution estimator has asymptotic properties identical with those of the local linear estimator. 相似文献

This paper develops an alternative and complement estimation procedure for functional coefficient partially linear regression (FCPLR) model based on series method. We derive the convergence rates and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. We examine its finite sample performance and compare it with the two-step local linear estimator via a small scale Monte Carlo simulation. 相似文献

This paper considers the problem of variance estimation for sparse ultra-high dimensional varying coefficient models. We first use B-spline to approximate the coefficient functions, and discuss the asymptotic behavior of a naive two-stage estimator of error variance. We also reveal that this naive estimator may significantly underestimate the error variance due to the spurious correlations, which are even higher for nonparametric models than linear models. This prompts us to propose an accurate estimator of the error variance by effectively integrating the sure independence screening and the refitted cross-validation techniques. The consistency and the asymptotic normality of the resulting estimator are established under some regularity conditions. The simulation studies are carried out to assess the finite sample performance of the proposed methods. 相似文献

本文发展了一个针对样本选择模型的两阶段半参数估计量,其首先在第一阶段基于对数欧几里得分布差异测度估计离散选择概率,进而在第二阶段利用非参数sieve方法估计一个包含参数和非参数部分的部分线性模型以得到模型参数的估计。相对于文献中已有的半参数估计量,该估计量的计算更加简便,且计算负担相对较小。我们说明了该半参数估计量的一致性和渐近正态性,同时给出了其渐近方差的计算公式。蒙特卡洛模拟结果符合我们的理论结论。 相似文献

The main contribution of this paper is a proof of the asymptotic validity of the application of the bootstrap to AR(∞) processes with unmodelled conditional heteroskedasticity. We first derive the asymptotic properties of the least-squares estimator of the autoregressive sieve parameters when the data are generated by a stationary linear process with martingale difference errors that are possibly subject to conditional heteroskedasticity of unknown form. These results are then used in establishing that a suitably constructed bootstrap estimator will have the same limit distribution as the least-squares estimator. Our results provide theoretical justification for the use of either the conventional asymptotic approximation based on robust standard errors or the bootstrap approximation of the distribution of autoregressive parameters. A simulation study suggests that the bootstrap approach tends to be more accurate in small samples. 相似文献

Asymptotic normality for a non parametric estimator of conditional quantile with left-truncated data
In this paper, we construct a non parametric estimator of conditional distribution function by the double-kernel local linear approach for left-truncated data, from which we derive the weighted double-kernel local linear estimator of conditional quantile. The asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators is also established. Finite-sample performance of the estimator is investigated via simulation. 相似文献
