Model Averaging for Prediction With Fragmentary Data

ABSTRACT

One main challenge for statistical prediction with data from multiple sources is that not all the associated covariate data are available for many sampled subjects. Consequently, we need new statistical methodology to handle this type of “fragmentary data” that has become more and more popular in recent years. In this article, we propose a novel method based on the frequentist model averaging that fits some candidate models using all available covariate data. The weights in model averaging are selected by delete-one cross-validation based on the data from complete cases. The optimality of the selected weights is rigorously proved under some conditions. The finite sample performance of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation studies. An example for personal income prediction based on real data from a leading e-community of wealth management in China is also presented for illustration.     

玻利维亚锡矿工的阶级意识——读《我们吃矿,矿吃我们》

<正>《我们吃矿,矿吃我们》②是美国女性人类学家纳什(June Nash)关于玻利维亚锡矿工人的经典民族志作品。纳什于1969年到玻利维亚锡矿山做田野,当时她42岁,还带着一个女儿,整个1970年她都在田野中。调查的敏感性使得她被矿工和CIA同时监视,但她最终获得了矿工的接纳。1971年她着手整理矿工Juan Rojas的口述历史,于1976年以西班牙文发表。《我们吃矿,矿吃我们》初版于1979年,1993年该书再版时,

几种传输线的场分布

求开放平板线、外正三角形內圆同轴线、外方內圆同轴线、外正六边形內圆同轴线的特性阻抗而建立的精确保角变换的基础上,本文进一步讨论了显式逆变换函数,从而求得了这几种传输线的场分布的闭合表达式。由于所用保角变换的精确性,所得的显式场分布在内导体和外导体的内接圆尺寸之比小于0.5in。基本上是准确的,在这个尺寸比稍大些时也可作为参考。这些场分布对于了解传输线的功率容量,计算衰减常数,考虑功率耦合,设计有关的有源器件等都是必不可少的。文中获得的几种传输线的场分布的显著特点是计算方便,在一般实用范围內有足够的精度。     

A Note on Inconsistency of NPMLE of the Distribution Function from Left Truncated and Case I Interval Censored Data

We show that under reasonable conditions the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimate (NPMLE) of the distribution function from left-truncated and case 1 interval-censored data is inconsistent, in contrast to the consistency properties of the NPMLE from only left-truncated data or only interval-censored data. However, the conditional NPMLE is shown to be consistent. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate their finite sample properties.     

A Nonparametric Test for the Parallelism of Two First-Order Autoregressive Processes

A nonparametric testing procedure for the parallelism of two first-order autoregressive processes is presented. This paper discuss the Mann–Whitney statistic, its natural competitor two-sample t -test, and the bootstrap method. It studies the asymptotic efficacies of the studentized Mann–Whitney statistic and the t -test statistic with their relative efficiency. Simulation results for comparing the powers of these test statistics are also presented.
