Kernel estimators of the ROC Curve with censored data

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are often used to study the two sample problem in medical studies. However, most data in medical studies are censored. Usually a natural estimator is based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator. In this paper we propose a smoothed estimator based on kernel techniques for the ROC curve with censored data. The large sample properties of the smoothed estimator are established. Moreover, deficiency is considered in order to compare the proposed smoothed estimator of the ROC curve with the empirical one based on Kaplan-Meier estimator. It is shown that the smoothed estimator outperforms the direct empirical estimator based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator under the criterion of deficiency. A simulation study is also conducted and a real data is analyzed.

Rate of convergence of a convolution-type estimator of the marginal density of a MA(1) process

In this paper moving-average processes with no parametric assumption on the error distribution are considered. A new convolution-type estimator of the marginal density of a MA(1) is presented. This estimator is closely related to some previous ones used to estimate the integrated squared density and has a structure similar to the ordinary kernel density estimator. For second-order kernels, the rate of convergence of this new estimator is investigated and the rate of the optimal bandwidth obtained. Under limit conditions on the smoothing parameter the convolution-type estimator is proved to be -consistent, which contrasts with the asymptotic behavior of the ordinary kernel density estimator, that is only -consistent.     

Nonparametric inference in multiplicative intensity model by discrete time observation

This paper deals with nonparametric inference problems in the multiplicative intensity model for counting processes. We propose a Nelson–Aalen type estimator based on discrete observation. The functional asymptotic normality of the estimator is proved. The limit process is the same as that in the continuous observation case, thus the proposed estimator based on discrete observation has the same properties as the Nelson–Aalen estimator based on continuous observation. For example, the asymptotic efficiency of proposed estimator is valid based on less information than the continuous observation case. A Kaplan–Meier type estimator is also discussed. Nonparametric goodness of fit test is considered, and an asymptotically distribution free test is proposed.

Estimation of the entropy of a multivariate normal distribution

Motivated by problems in molecular biosciences wherein the evaluation of entropy of a molecular system is important for understanding its thermodynamic properties, we consider the efficient estimation of entropy of a multivariate normal distribution having unknown mean vector and covariance matrix. Based on a random sample, we discuss the problem of estimating the entropy under the quadratic loss function. The best affine equivariant estimator is obtained and, interestingly, it also turns out to be an unbiased estimator and a generalized Bayes estimator. It is established that the best affine equivariant estimator is admissible in the class of estimators that depend on the determinant of the sample covariance matrix alone. The risk improvements of the best affine equivariant estimator over the maximum likelihood estimator (an estimator commonly used in molecular sciences) are obtained numerically and are found to be substantial in higher dimensions, which is commonly the case for atomic coordinates in macromolecules such as proteins. We further establish that even the best affine equivariant estimator is inadmissible and obtain Stein-type and Brewster–Zidek-type estimators dominating it. The Brewster–Zidek-type estimator is shown to be generalized Bayes.     

Asymptotic properties of conditional maximum likelihood estimator in a certain exponential model

The conditional maximum likelihood estimator is suggested as an alternative to the maximum likelihood estimator and is favorable for an estimator of a dispersion parameter in the normal distribution, the inverse-Gaussian distribution, and so on. However, it is not clear whether the conditional maximum likelihood estimator is asymptotically efficient in general. Consider the case where it is asymptotically efficient and its asymptotic covariance depends only on an objective parameter in an exponential model. This remand implies that the exponential model possesses a certain parallel foliation. In this situation, this paper investigates asymptotic properties of the conditional maximum likelihood estimator and compares the conditional maximum likelihood estimator with the maximum likelihood estimator. We see that the bias of the former is more robust than that of the latter and that two estimators are very close, especially in the sense of bias-corrected version. The mean Pythagorean relation is also discussed.     

A robust alternative to the ratio estimator under non-normality

In sampling theory, the traditional ratio estimator is the most common estimator of the population mean when the correlation between study and auxiliary variables is positively high. We introduce a new ratio-type estimator based on the order statistics of a simple random sample. We show that this new estimator is considerably more efficient than the traditional ratio estimator under non-normality, and remarkably robust to data anomalies such as presence of outliers in data sets.     

Estimation in additive cox models by marginal integration

Assuming an additive model on the covariate effect in proportional hazards regression, we consider the estimation of the component functions. The estimator is based on the marginal integration method. Then we use a new kind of nonparametric estimator as the pilot estimator of the marginal integration. The pilot estimator is constructed by an analogy to the two-sample problems and by appealing to the principles of local partial likelihood and local linear fitting. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the marginal integration estimator of the component functions. The result of a simulation study is also given.
