We propose a resampling method for left truncated and right censored data with covariables to obtain a bootstrap version of the conditional distribution function estimator. We derive an almost sure representation for this bootstrapped estimator and, as a consequence, the consistency of the bootstrap is obtained. This bootstrap approximation represents an alternative to the normal asymptotic distribution and avoids the estimation of the complicated mean and variance parameters of the latter.  相似文献

The ordinary least squares estimation is based on minimization of the squared distance of the response variable to its conditional mean given the predictor variable. We extend this method by including in the criterion function the distance of the squared response variable to its second conditional moment. It is shown that this “second-order” least squares estimator is asymptotically more efficient than the ordinary least squares estimator if the third moment of the random error is nonzero, and both estimators have the same asymptotic covariance matrix if the error distribution is symmetric. Simulation studies show that the variance reduction of the new estimator can be as high as 50% for sample sizes lower than 100. As a by-product, the joint asymptotic covariance matrix of the ordinary least squares estimators for the regression parameter and for the random error variance is also derived, which is only available in the literature for very special cases, e.g. that random error has a normal distribution. The results apply to both linear and nonlinear regression models, where the random error distributions are not necessarily known.  相似文献

Based on Takenaka–Malmquist (TM) system, a new nonparametric estimator for probability density function is proposed. The TM estimation method is completely different from the existent density estimation methods in that the estimator depends on an approximate system with poles in a complex plane. Compared with the classic Fourier estimator, the TM estimator will offer more flexibility and adaptivity for real data due to the poles and nonlinearity of the phase of TM system. We compare the TM estimator with kernel, wavelet, and spline estimators by simulations. It shows that the introduced TM estimator is a more promising method than the existing and commonly used methods. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is typically used when the likelihood is either unavailable or intractable but where data can be simulated under different parameter settings using a forward model. Despite the recent interest in ABC, high-dimensional data and costly simulations still remain a bottleneck in some applications. There is also no consensus as to how to best assess the performance of such methods without knowing the true posterior. We show how a nonparametric conditional density estimation (CDE) framework, which we refer to as ABC–CDE, help address three nontrivial challenges in ABC: (i) how to efficiently estimate the posterior distribution with limited simulations and different types of data, (ii) how to tune and compare the performance of ABC and related methods in estimating the posterior itself, rather than just certain properties of the density, and (iii) how to efficiently choose among a large set of summary statistics based on a CDE surrogate loss. We provide theoretical and empirical evidence that justify ABC–CDE procedures that directly estimate and assess the posterior based on an initial ABC sample, and we describe settings where standard ABC and regression-based approaches are inadequate. Supplemental materials for this article are available online.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

Nonparametric Density Estimation for a Long-Range Dependent Linear Process   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0  
We estimate the marginal density function of a long-range dependent linear process by the kernel estimator. We assume the innovations are i.i.d. Then it is known that the term of the sample mean is dominant in the MISE of the kernel density estimator when the dependence is beyond some level which depends on the bandwidth and that the MISE has asymptotically the same form as for i.i.d. observations when the dependence is below the level. We call the latter the case where the dependence is not very strong and focus on it in this paper. We show that the asymptotic distribution of the kernel density estimator is the same as for i.i.d. observations and the effect of long-range dependence does not appear. In addition we describe some results for weakly dependent linear processes.  相似文献

Abstract

We consider the kernel estimator of conditional density and derive its asymptotic bias, variance, and mean-square error. Optimal bandwidths (with respect to integrated mean-square error) are found and it is shown that the convergence rate of the density estimator is order n –2/3. We also note that the conditional mean function obtained from the estimator is equivalent to a kernel smoother. Given the undesirable bias properties of kernel smoothers, we seek a modified conditional density estimator that has mean equivalent to some other nonparametric regression smoother with better bias properties. It is also shown that our modified estimator has smaller mean square error than the standard estimator in some commonly occurring situations. Finally, three graphical methods for visualizing conditional density estimators are discussed and applied to a data set consisting of maximum daily temperatures in Melbourne, Australia.  相似文献

在多元非参数模型中带宽和阶的选择对局部多项式估计量的表现十分重要。本文基于交叉验证准则提出一个自适应贝叶斯带宽选择方法。在给定的误差密度函数下,该方法可推导出对应的似然函数,并构造带宽参数的后验密度函数。随后,通过带宽的后验期望可同时获得阶和带宽的估计。数值模拟的结果表明,该方法不仅比大拇指准则方法精确,且比交叉验证方法耗时更少。与此同时,与Nadaraya-Watson估计相比,所提带宽选择方法对多元非参数模型的适应性要更好。最后,本文通过一组实际数据说明有限样本下所提贝叶斯带宽选择的表现很好。  相似文献

We study Beran's extension of the Kaplan-Meier estimator for thesituation of right censored observations at fixed covariate values. Thisestimator for the conditional distribution function at a given value of thecovariate involves smoothing with Gasser-Müller weights. We establishan almost sure asymptotic representation which provides a key tool forobtaining central limit results. To avoid complicated estimation ofasymptotic bias and variance parameters, we propose a resampling methodwhich takes the covariate information into account. An asymptoticrepresentation for the bootstrapped estimator is proved and the strongconsistency of the bootstrap approximation to the conditional distributionfunction is obtained.  相似文献
