A computational framework for variable selection in multivariate regression

Stepwise variable selection procedures are computationally inexpensive methods for constructing useful regression models for a single dependent variable. At each step a variable is entered into or deleted from the current model, based on the criterion of minimizing the error sum of squares (SSE). When there is more than one dependent variable, the situation is more complex. In this article we propose variable selection criteria for multivariate regression which generalize the univariate SSE criterion. Specifically, we suggest minimizing some function of the estimated error covariance matrix: the trace, the determinant, or the largest eigenvalue. The computations associated with these criteria may be burdensome. We develop a computational framework based on the use of the SWEEP operator which greatly reduces these calculations for stepwise variable selection in multivariate regression.     

A Malformation Incidence Dose-Response Model Incorporating Fetal Weight and/or Litter Size as Covariates

A dose-response model is often fit to bioassay data to provide a mathematical relationship between the incidence of a developmental malformation and dose of a toxicant. To utilize the interrelations among the fetal weight, incidence of malformation and number of the live fetuses, a conditional Gaussian regression chain model is proposed to model the dose-response function for developmental malformation incidence using the litter size and/or the fetal weight as covariates. The litter size is modeled as a function of dose, the fetal weight is modeled as a function of dose conditional on the litter size, and the malformation incidence is modeled as a function of dose conditional on both the litter size and the fetal weight, which itself is also conditional on the litter size. Data from a developmental experiment conducted at the National Center for Toxicological Research to investigate the growth stunting and increased incidence of cleft palate induced by Dexamethasone (DEX) exposure in rats was used as an illustration.     

互连电缆的电磁兼容性分析

忽视互连电缆内导线之间的电磁耦合（串扰），被认为是降低电子系统的电磁兼容性的重要原因。在足够低的频率下，这种电磁耦合可视为导线间的互电感和互电容产生的耦合的迭加。但在高频下，这种方法是不正确的。文中根据多导体传输线模型，应用键参数矩阵法，对典型的三导体系统中的串扰进行分析，得出同一种介质中，线间串扰电压的解；引入广义电容矩阵，导出考虑绝缘介质影响时，线间串扰电压的计算公式。实例计算结果与文献报道的实测数据基本一致。

Estimates of regression coefficients based on the sign covariance matrix

Summary. A new estimator of the regression parameters is introduced in a multivariate multiple-regression model in which both the vector of explanatory variables and the vector of response variables are assumed to be random. The affine equivariant estimate matrix is constructed using the sign covariance matrix (SCM) where the sign concept is based on Oja's criterion function. The influence function and asymptotic theory are developed to consider robustness and limiting efficiencies of the SCM regression estimate. The estimate is shown to be consistent with a limiting multinormal distribution. The influence function, as a function of the length of the contamination vector, is shown to be linear in elliptic cases; for the least squares (LS) estimate it is quadratic. The asymptotic relative efficiencies with respect to the LS estimate are given in the multivariate normal as well as the t -distribution cases. The SCM regression estimate is highly efficient in the multivariate normal case and, for heavy-tailed distributions, it performs better than the LS estimate. Simulations are used to consider finite sample efficiencies with similar results. The theory is illustrated with an example.     

A note on sequential ML estimates and their asymptotic covariances

A marginal and sequential maximum likelihood estimation method is described which can be used instead of full information maximum likelihood estimation if the latter method is unfeasible. It is shown that the sequential procedure yields strongly consistent and asymptotically normal estimates under relatively general regularity conditions. It is shown that the covariance matrix of the sequential ML estimator does not coincide with the inverse of the Fisher information matrix. Hence, the corrected covariance matrix is derived. The application of the sequential procedure to the multivariate probit model with dichotomous, ordered categorical, single-sided censored and double-sided censored endogenous variables is included. This research was partially supported by a dissertation grant of theStudienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes. Comments and suggestions on earlier drafts by Gerhard Arminger, Giorgio Calzolari, Bernd Kortzen and an anonymous referee are gratefully acknowledged.     

Goodness-of-fit Tests for GEE with Correlated Binary Data

The marginal logistic regression, in combination with GEE, is an increasingly important method in dealing with correlated binary data. As for independent binary data, when the number of possible combinations of the covariate values in a logistic regression model is much larger than the sample size, such as when the logistic model contains at least one continuous covariate, many existing chi-square goodness-of-fit tests either are not applicable or have some serious drawbacks. In this paper two residual based normal goodness-of-fit test statistics are proposed: the Pearson chi-square and an unweighted sum of residual squares. Easy-to-calculate approximations to the mean and variance of either statistic are also given. Their performance, in terms of both size and power, was satisfactory in our simulation studies. For illustration we apply them to a real data set.     

Prediction Error Property of the Lasso Estimator and its Generalization

The lasso procedure is an estimator‐shrinkage and variable selection method. This paper shows that there always exists an interval of tuning parameter values such that the corresponding mean squared prediction error for the lasso estimator is smaller than for the ordinary least squares estimator. For an estimator satisfying some condition such as unbiasedness, the paper defines the corresponding generalized lasso estimator. Its mean squared prediction error is shown to be smaller than that of the estimator for values of the tuning parameter in some interval. This implies that all unbiased estimators are not admissible. Simulation results for five models support the theoretical results.
