Performance of the difference-based estimators in partially linear models

In this paper, we consider a commonly used partially linear model. We proposed a restricted difference-based ridge estimator for the vector of parameters β in a partially linear model with one smoothing term when additional linear restrictions on the parameter vector are assumed to hold. The ideas in the paper are illustrated in a real data set and in a Monte Carlo simulation study.     

Efficiency of the generalized-difference-based weighted mixed almost unbiased two-parameter estimator in partially linear model

In this paper, a generalized difference-based estimator is introduced for the vector parameter β in partially linear model when the errors are correlated. A generalized-difference-based almost unbiased two-parameter estimator is defined for the vector parameter β. Under the linear stochastic constraint r = Rβ + e, we introduce a new generalized-difference-based weighted mixed almost unbiased two-parameter estimator. The performance of this new estimator over the generalized-difference-based estimator and generalized- difference-based almost unbiased two-parameter estimator in terms of the MSEM criterion is investigated. The efficiency properties of the new estimator is illustrated by a simulation study. Finally, the performance of the new estimator is evaluated for a real dataset.

A jackknifed difference-based ridge estimator in the partial linear model with correlated errors

Tabakan and Akdeniz [Difference-based ridge estimator of parameters in partial linear model. Statist Pap. 2010;51(2):357–368] proposed a difference-based ridge estimator (DBRE) in the partial linear model. In this paper, a new estimator is introduced by jackknifing the DBRE that Tabakan and Akdeniz presented. We investigate the performance of this new estimator over the DBRE and difference-based estimator introduced by Yatchew [An elementary estimator of the partial linear model. Econom Lett. 1997;57:135–143] in terms of mean-squared error and mean-squared error matrix and a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the performance of the estimators.     

Liu-type estimator in semiparametric partially linear additive models

Partially linear additive model is useful in statistical modelling as a multivariate nonparametric fitting technique. This paper considers statistical inference for the semiparametric model in the presence of multicollinearity. Based on the profile least-squares (PL) approach and Liu estimation method, we propose a PL Liu estimator for the parametric component. When some additional linear restrictions on the parametric component are available, the corresponding restricted Liu estimator for the parametric component is constructed. The properties of the proposed estimators are derived. Some simulations are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed procedures and the results are satisfactory. Finally, a real data example is analysed.     

New difference-based estimator of parameters in semiparametric regression models

The paper introduces a new difference-based Liu estimator β?_Ldiff=([Xtilde]′[Xtilde]+I)^?1([Xtilde]′[ytilde]+η β?_diff) of the regression parameters β in the semiparametric regression model, y=Xβ+f+?. Difference-based estimator, β?_diff=([Xtilde]′[Xtilde])^?1[Xtilde]′[ytilde] and difference-based Liu estimator are analysed and compared with respect to mean-squared error (mse) criterion. Finally, the performance of the new estimator is evaluated for a real data set. Monte Carlo simulation is given to show the improvement in the scalar mse of the estimator.

The properties of the new estimator are also discussed. Finally, a simulation study is given to show the performance of the new estimator.     

Estimation in a linear regression model with stochastic linear restrictions: a new two-parameter-weighted mixed estimator

The present paper considers the weighted mixed regression estimation of the coefficient vector in a linear regression model with stochastic linear restrictions binding the regression coefficients. We introduce a new two-parameter-weighted mixed estimator (TPWME) by unifying the weighted mixed estimator of Schaffrin and Toutenburg [1] and the two-parameter estimator (TPE) of Özkale and Kaç?ranlar [2]. This new estimator is a general estimator which includes the weighted mixed estimator, the TPE and the restricted two-parameter estimator (RTPE) proposed by Özkale and Kaç?ranlar [2] as special cases. Furthermore, we compare the TPWME with the weighted mixed estimator and the TPE with respect to the matrix mean square error criterion. A numerical example and a Monte Carlo simulation experiment are presented by using different estimators of the biasing parameters to illustrate some of the theoretical results.     

Mixed Liu estimator in linear measurement error models

In this paper, we introduce mixed Liu estimator (MLE) for the vector of parameters in linear measurement error models by unifying the sample and the prior information. The MLE is a generalization of the mixed estimator (ME) and Liu estimator (LE). In particular, asymptotic normality properties of the estimators are discussed, and the performance of the MLE over the LE and ME are compared based on mean squared error matrix (MSEM). Finally, a Monte Carlo simulation and a numerical example are also presented for analysis.     

Liu estimator in partly linear regression models with correlated errors

This article is concerned with the parameter estimation in partly linear regression models when the errors are dependent. To overcome the multicollinearity problem, a generalized Liu estimator is proposed. The theoretical properties of the proposed estimator and its relationship with some existing methods designed for partly linear models are investigated. Finally, a hypothetical data is conducted to illustrate some of the theoretical results.     

Improvement of the Liu estimator in linear regression model

In the presence of stochastic prior information, in addition to the sample, Theil and Goldberger (1961) introduced a Mixed Estimator for the parameter vector β in the standard multiple linear regression model (T,Xβ,σ² I). Recently, the Liu estimator which is an alternative biased estimator for β has been proposed by Liu (1993). In this paper we introduce another new Liu type biased estimator called Stochastic restricted Liu estimator for β, and discuss its efficiency. The necessary and sufficient conditions for mean squared error matrix of the Stochastic restricted Liu estimator to exceed the mean squared error matrix of the mixed estimator will be derived for the two cases in which the parametric restrictions are correct and are not correct. In particular we show that this new biased estimator is superior in the mean squared error matrix sense to both the Mixed estimator and to the biased estimator introduced by Liu (1993).     

Improved Liu estimator in a linear regression model

In this paper, we mainly aim to introduce the notion of improved Liu estimator (ILE) in the linear regression model y=Xβ+e. The selection of the biasing parameters is investigated under the PRESS criterion and the optimal selection is successfully derived. We make a simulation study to show the performance of ILE compared to the ordinary least squares estimator and the Liu estimator. Finally, the main results are applied to the Hald data.     

A new test for high-dimensional regression coefficients in partially linear models

Partially linear regression models are semiparametric models that contain both linear and nonlinear components. They are extensively used in many scientific fields for their flexibility and convenient interpretability. In such analyses, testing the significance of the regression coefficients in the linear component is typically a key focus. Under the high-dimensional setting, i.e., “large p, small n,” the conventional F-test strategy does not apply because the coefficients need to be estimated through regularization techniques. In this article, we develop a new test using a U-statistic of order two, relying on a pseudo-estimate of the nonlinear component from the classical kernel method. Using the martingale central limit theorem, we prove the asymptotic normality of the proposed test statistic under some regularity conditions. We further demonstrate our proposed test's finite-sample performance by simulation studies and by analyzing some breast cancer gene expression data.     

An asymptotic theory for semiparametric generalized least squares estimation in partially linear regression models

Consider a partially linear regression model with an unknown vector parameter β, an unknown functiong(·), and unknown heteroscedastic error variances. In this paper we develop an asymptotic semiparametric generalized least squares estimation theory under some weak moment conditions. These moment conditions are satisfied by many of the error distributions encountered in practice, and our theory does not require the number of replications to go to infinity.     

Improvement of mixed predictors in linear mixed models

In this paper, we introduce stochastic-restricted Liu predictors which will be defined by combining in a special way the two approaches followed in obtaining the mixed predictors and the Liu predictors in the linear mixed models. Superiorities of the linear combination of the new predictor to the Liu and mixed predictors are done in the sense of mean square error matrix criterion. Finally, numerical examples and a simulation study are done to illustrate the findings. In numerical examples, we took some arbitrary observations from the data as the prior information since we did not have historical data or additional information about the data sets. The results show that this case does the new estimator gain efficiency over the constituent estimators and provide accurate estimation and prediction of the data.     

On the weighted mixed Liu-type estimator under unbiased stochastic restrictions

In this article, we introduce the weighted mixed Liu-type estimator (WMLTE) based on the weighted mixed and Liu-type estimator (LTE) in linear regression model. We will also present necessary and sufficient conditions for superiority of the weighted mixed Liu-type estimator over the weighted mixed estimator (WME) and Liu type estimator (LTE) in terms of mean square error matrix (MSEM) criterion. Finally, a numerical example and a Monte Carlo simulation is also given to show the theoretical results.     

An alternative stochastic restricted Liu estimator in linear regression

In this paper, we introduce an alternative stochastic restricted Liu estimator for the vector of parameters in a linear regression model when additional stochastic linear restrictions on the parameter vector are assumed to hold. The new estimator is a generalization of the ordinary mixed estimator (OME) (Durbin in J Am Stat Assoc 48:799–808, 1953; Theil and Goldberger in Int Econ Rev 2:65–78, 1961; Theil in J Am Stat Assoc 58:401–414, 1963) and Liu estimator proposed by Liu (Commun Stat Theory Methods 22:393–402, 1993). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the superiority of the new stochastic restricted Liu estimator over the OME, the Liu estimator and the estimator proposed by Hubert and Wijekoon (Stat Pap 47:471–479, 2006) in the mean squared error matrix (MSEM) sense are derived. Furthermore, a numerical example based on the widely analysed dataset on Portland cement (Woods et al. in Ind Eng Chem 24:1207–1241, 1932) and a Monte Carlo evaluation of the estimators are also given to illustrate some of the theoretical results.
