在非参数回归模型中,传统的Nadaraya-Watson核估计和局部多项式估计常常因为误差为重尾情况而变得不稳健,Kai等人(2010)提出的复合分位数回归方法能弥补这一缺陷.文章在删失指标随机缺失的情况下,研究了误差具有异方差结构的非参数删失回归模型,利用局部多项式方法构造了回归函数的复合分位数回归估计,并得到了该估计的渐近正态性结果,把Kai等人(2010)的结果推广到删失指标随机缺失的右删失数据下.最后通过模拟发现,尤其是当误差为重尾分布时,该估计方法比Wang和Zheng (2014)提出的核估计方法更好.     

一般偏差右删失数据下剩余寿命分位数回归

剩余寿命是刻画个体预期寿命的一个重要度量,对剩余寿命的早期研究主要集中在剩余均值上.然而当总体生存函数偏态或厚尾时剩余均值函数可能不存在,因此统计学者建议用剩余寿命分位数来刻画预期寿命.在完全数据和右删失数据下,剩余寿命分位数的建模和理论已经很完善.但是,在实际的调查研究中经常会遇到偏差抽样数据.例如,临床医学中的左截断数据,流行病学中的病例队列抽样数据,医学大型队列研究中的长度偏差抽样数据等等.忽略抽样偏差会导致参数估计有偏和不合理的推断结果.本文考虑一般偏差右删失数据下剩余寿命分位数回归的统计推断问题.首先,我们提出了一个一般偏差右删失数据下的剩余寿命分位数回归模型,并利用一般估计方程方法对模型中的参数进行了估计.针对已有文献常用的删失变量与协变量独立性假设,本文重点考虑了删失变量依赖于协变量场合.其次,由于估计量的渐近方差中涉及非参密度函数,在估计渐近方差时,本文采用Bootstrap方法.最后,数值模拟显示本文提出的方法有限样本性质表现很好.     

Asymptotic Normality of a Combined Regression Estimator

In this paper, we propose a combined regression estimator by using a parametric estimator and a nonparametric estimator of the regression function. The asymptotic distribution of this estimator is obtained for cases where the parametric regression model is correct, incorrect, and approximately correct. These distributional results imply that the combined estimator is superior to the kernel estimator in the sense that it can never do worse than the kernel estimator in terms of convergence rate and it has the same convergence rate as the parametric estimator in the case where the parametric model is correct. Unlike the parametric estimator, the combined estimator is robust to model misspecification. In addition, we also establish the asymptotic distribution of the estimator of the weight given to the parametric estimator in constructing the combined estimator. This can be used to construct consistent tests for the parametric regression model used to form the combined estimator.     

KERNEL ESTIMATION OF HIGHER DERIVATIVES OF DENSITY AND HAZARD RATE FUNCTION FOR TRUNCATED AND CENSORED DEPENDENT DATA

Based on left truncated and right censored dependent data, the estimators of higher derivatives of density function and hazard rate function are given by kernel smoothing method. When observed data exhibit α-mixing dependence, local properties including strong consistency and law of iterated logarithm are presented. Moreover, when the mode estimator is defined as the random variable that maximizes the kernel density estimator, the asymptotic normality of the mode estimator is established.     

Hazard Rate Estimation in Nonparametric Regression with Censored Data

Consider a regression model in which the responses are subject to random right censoring. In this model, Beran studied the nonparametric estimation of the conditional cumulative hazard function and the corresponding cumulative distribution function. The main idea is to use smoothing in the covariates. Here we study asymptotic properties of the corresponding hazard function estimator obtained by convolution smoothing of Beran's cumulative hazard estimator. We establish asymptotic expressions for the bias and the variance of the estimator, which together with an asymptotic representation lead to a weak convergence result. Also, the uniform strong consistency of the estimator is obtained.     

Jackknifing in partially linear regression models with serially correlated errors

In this paper jackknifing technique is examined for functions of the parametric component in a partially linear regression model with serially correlated errors. By deleting partial residuals a jackknife-type estimator is proposed. It is shown that the jackknife-type estimator and the usual semiparametric least-squares estimator (SLSE) are asymptotically equivalent. However, simulation shows that the former has smaller biases than the latter when the sample size is small or moderate. Moreover, since the errors are correlated, both the Tukey type and the delta type jackknife asymptotic variance estimators are not consistent. By introducing cross-product terms, a consistent estimator of the jackknife asymptotic variance is constructed and shown to be robust against heterogeneity of the error variances. In addition, simulation results show that confidence interval estimation based on the proposed jackknife estimator has better coverage probability than that based on the SLSE, even though the latter uses the information of the error structure, while the former does not.     

STRONG CONVERGENCE RATES OF SEVERAL ESTIMATORS IN SEMIPARAMETRIC VARYING-COEFFICIENT PARTIALLY LINEAR MODELS

This article is concerned with the estimating problem of semiparametric varyingcoefficient partially linear regression models. By combining the local polynomial and least squares procedures Fan and Huang （2005） proposed a profile least squares estimator for the parametric component and established its asymptotic normality. We further show that the profile least squares estimator can achieve the law of iterated logarithm. Moreover, we study the estimators of the functions characterizing the non-linear part as well as the error variance. The strong convergence rate and the law of iterated logarithm are derived for them, respectively.     

Density and hazard rate estimation for censored data via strong representation of the Kaplan-Meier estimator

Summary We study the estimation of a density and a hazard rate function based on censored data by the kernel smoothing method. Our technique is facilitated by a recent result of Lo and Singh (1986) which establishes a strong uniform approximation of the Kaplan-Meier estimator by an average of independent random variables. (Note that the approximation is carried out on the original probability space, which should be distinguished from the Hungarian embedding approach.) Pointwise strong consistency and a law of iterated logarithm are derived, as well as the mean squared error expression and asymptotic normality, which is obtain using a more traditional method, as compared with the Hajek projection employed by Tanner and Wong (1983).     

On estimation of survival function under random censoring model

We study an estimator of the survival function under the random censoring model. Bahadur-type representation of the estimator is obtained and asymptotic expression for its mean squared errors is given, which leads to the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator. A data-driven local bandwidth selection rule for the estimator is proposed. It is worth noting that the estimator is consistent at left boundary points, which contrasts with the cases of density and hazard rate estimation. A Monte Carlo comparison of different estimators is made and it appears that the proposed data-driven estimators have certain advantages over the common Kaplan-Meier estmator.     

Error density estimation in high-dimensional sparse linear model

This paper is concerned with the error density estimation in high-dimensional sparse linear model, where the number of variables may be larger than the sample size. An improved two-stage refitted cross-validation procedure by random splitting technique is used to obtain the residuals of the model, and then traditional kernel density method is applied to estimate the error density. Under suitable sparse conditions, the large sample properties of the estimator including the consistency and asymptotic normality, as well as the law of the iterated logarithm are obtained. Especially, we gave the relationship between the sparsity and the convergence rate of the kernel density estimator. The simulation results show that our error density estimator has a good performance. A real data example is presented to illustrate our methods.
