On Huber's contaminated model

Huber's contaminated model is a basic model for data with outliers. This paper aims at addressing several fundamental problems about this model. We first study its identifiability properties. Several theorems are presented to determine whether the model is identifiable for various situations. Based on these results, we discuss the problem of estimating the parameters with observations drawn from Huber's contaminated model. A definition of estimation consistency is introduced to handle the general case where the model may be unidentifiable. This consistency is a strong robustness property. After showing that existing estimators cannot be consistent in this sense, we propose a new estimator that possesses the consistency property under mild conditions. Its adaptive version, which can simultaneously possess this consistency property and optimal asymptotic efficiency, is also provided. Numerical examples show that our estimators have better overall performance than existing estimators no matter how many outliers in the data.     

Sample rotation theory with missing data

This paper studies how the sample rotation method is applied to the case where item non-response occurs in surveys. The two cases where the response to the first occasion is complete or incomplete are considered. Using ratio imputation method, the estimators of the current population mean are proposed, which are valid under uniform response regardless of the model and under the ratio model regardless of the response mechanism. Under uniform response, the variances of the proposed estimators are derived. Interestingly, although their expressions are similar, the estimator for the case of incomplete response on the first occasion can have smaller variance than the one for the case of complete response on the first occasion under uniform response. The linearized jackknife variance estimators are also given. These variance estimators prove to be approximately design-unbiased under uniform response. It should be noted that similar property on variance estimators has not been discussed in literature.     

Effects of measurement error on a class of single-index varying coefficient regression models

This paper investigates the estimation in a class of single-index varying coefficient regression model when some covariates are contaminated with measurement errors. A bias-corrected least square procedure based on the observed data is proposed. By replacing the nonparametric single index part with a local linear approximation, an iterative algorithm for estimating the index parameter is proposed. More importantly, a special case is identified in which the naive procedure provides consistent estimates for the single index parameters. Large sample properties of the proposed estimators are established. The finite sample performance of the proposed estimators are evaluated by simulation studies.     

Asymptotic properties of the Bayes modal estimators of item parameters in item response theory

Asymptotic cumulants of the Bayes modal estimators of item parameters using marginal likelihood in item response theory are derived up to the fourth order with added higher-order asymptotic variances under possible model misspecification. Among them, only the first asymptotic cumulant and the higher-order asymptotic variance for an estimator are different from those by maximum likelihood. Corresponding results for studentized Bayes estimators and asymptotically bias-corrected ones are also obtained. It was found that all the asymptotic cumulants of the bias-corrected Bayes estimator up to the fourth order and the higher-order asymptotic variance are identical to those by maximum likelihood with bias correction. Numerical illustrations are given with simulations in the case when the 2-parameter logistic model holds. In the numerical illustrations, the maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators are used, where the same independent log-normal priors are employed for discriminant parameters and the hierarchical model is adopted for the prior of difficulty parameters.     

Mallows’ quasi-likelihood estimation for log-linear Poisson autoregressions

We consider the problems of robust estimation and testing for a log-linear model with feedback for the analysis of count time series. We study inference for contaminated data with transient shifts, level shifts and additive outliers. It turns out that the case of additive outliers deserves special attention. We propose a robust method for estimating the regression coefficients in the presence of interventions. The resulting robust estimators are asymptotically normally distributed under some regularity conditions. A robust score type test statistic is also examined. The methodology is applied to real and simulated data.

Nonparametric estimation of the log odds ratio for sparse data by kernel smoothing

Regression analysis of the odds ratios for sparse data has received a lot of attention. However, existing works are restricted to the parametric case, and a parametric model may be a misspecification, which may lead to biased and inefficient estimators. Little attention is received for nonparametric regression analysis of the odds ratios. Based on kernel smoothing techniques, we propose two simple estimators of the log odds-ratio function for sparse data. Large sample properties of the estimators are derived, and the methods proposed are evaluated through simulation.     

Multivariate logistic regression with incomplete covariate and auxiliary information

In this article, we propose and explore a multivariate logistic regression model for analyzing multiple binary outcomes with incomplete covariate data where auxiliary information is available. The auxiliary data are extraneous to the regression model of interest but predictive of the covariate with missing data. Horton and Laird [N.J. Horton, N.M. Laird, Maximum likelihood analysis of logistic regression models with incomplete covariate data and auxiliary information, Biometrics 57 (2001) 34–42] describe how the auxiliary information can be incorporated into a regression model for a single binary outcome with missing covariates, and hence the efficiency of the regression estimators can be improved. We consider extending the method of [9] to the case of a multivariate logistic regression model for multiple correlated outcomes, and with missing covariates and completely observed auxiliary information. We demonstrate that in the case of moderate to strong associations among the multiple outcomes, one can achieve considerable gains in efficiency from estimators in a multivariate model as compared to the marginal estimators of the same parameters.     

Robust estimation in single-index models when the errors have a unimodal density with unknown nuisance parameter

This paper develops a robust profile estimation method for the parametric and nonparametric components of a single-index model when the errors have a strongly unimodal density with unknown nuisance parameter. We derive consistency results for the link function estimators as well as consistency and asymptotic distribution results for the single-index parameter estimators. Under a log-Gamma model, the sensitivity to anomalous observations is studied using the empirical influence curve. We also discuss a robust K-fold cross-validation procedure to select the smoothing parameters. A numerical study carried on with errors following a log-Gamma model and for contaminated schemes shows the good robustness properties of the proposed estimators and the advantages of considering a robust approach instead of the classical one. A real data set illustrates the use of our proposal.

     

Multivariate generalized S-estimators

In this paper we introduce generalized S-estimators for the multivariate regression model. This class of estimators combines high robustness and high efficiency. They are defined by minimizing the determinant of a robust estimator of the scatter matrix of differences of residuals. In the special case of a multivariate location model, the generalized S-estimator has the important independence property, and can be used for high breakdown estimation in independent component analysis. Robustness properties of the estimators are investigated by deriving their breakdown point and the influence function. We also study the efficiency of the estimators, both asymptotically and at finite samples. To obtain inference for the regression parameters, we discuss the fast and robust bootstrap for multivariate generalized S-estimators. The method is illustrated on a real data example.
