Large-Sample Theory for Generalized Linear Models with Non-natural Link and Random Variates

For generalized linear models （GLM）, in the ease that the regressors are stochastie and have different distributions and the observations of the responses may have different dimcnsionality, the asyinptotic theory of the maximum likelihood estimate （MLE） of the parameters are studied under the assumption of a non-natural link funetion,     

Behaviour in small samples of some tests of non-nested hypotheses in non-stationary regressions and their bootstrap versions

Summary  In this paper, we use simulation methods to assess, in small samples, the performance of the Davidson and MacKinnon (1981) J-test when it is used to discriminate between two non-nested models with non-stationary regressors. We distinguish two cases: first, we assume that the sets of regressors of the two models are cointegrated; secondly, we consider the case where the regressors are not cointegrated. We also compare the behaviour of this test with that of the Fisher McAleer JA-type test and the bootstrap-adjusted J-tests, in order to assess its relative performance.     

Consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum quasi-likelihood estimator in quasi-likelihood nonlinear models with random regressors

This paper proposes some regularity conditions, which result in the existence, strong consistency and asymptotic normality of maximum quasi-likelihood estimator （MQLE） in quasi-likelihood nonlinear models （QLNM） with random regressors. The asymptotic results of generalized linear models （GLM） with random regressors are generalized to QLNM with random regressors.     

Asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimator for two-step logit models

Two-step logit models are extensions of the ordinary logistic regression model, which are designed for complex ordinal outcomes commonly seen in practice. In this paper, we establish some asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the regression parameter vector under some mild conditions, which include existence of the MLE, convergence rate and asymptotic normality of the MLE. We relax the boundedness condition of the regressors required in most existing theoretical results, and all conditions are easy to verify.     

On estimation in some reduced rank extended growth curve models

The general multivariate analysis of variance model has been extensively studied in the statistical literature and successfully applied in many different fields for analyzing longitudinal data. In this article, we consider the extension of this model having two sets of regressors constituting a growth curve portion and a multivariate analysis of variance portion, respectively. Nowadays, the data collected in empirical studies have relatively complex structures though often demanding a parsimonious modeling. This can be achieved for example through imposing rank constraints on the regression coefficient matrices. The reduced rank regression structure also provides a theoretical interpretation in terms of latent variables. We derive likelihood based estimators for the mean parameters and covariance matrix in this type of models. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the obtained results.     

A Multiobjective Exploratory Procedure for Regression Model Selection

Variable selection is recognized as one of the most critical steps in statistical modeling. The problems encountered in engineering and social sciences are commonly characterized by over-abundance of explanatory variables, nonlinearities, and unknown interdependencies between the regressors. An added difficulty is that the analysts may have little or no prior knowledge on the relative importance of the variables. To provide a robust method for model selection, this article introduces the multiobjective genetic algorithm for variable selection (MOGA-VS) that provides the user with an optimal set of regression models for a given dataset. The algorithm considers the regression problem as a two objective task, and explores the Pareto-optimal (best subset) models by preferring those models over the other which have less number of regression coefficients and better goodness of fit. The model exploration can be performed based on in-sample or generalization error minimization. The model selection is proposed to be performed in two steps. First, we generate the frontier of Pareto-optimal regression models by eliminating the dominated models without any user intervention. Second, a decision-making process is executed which allows the user to choose the most preferred model using visualizations and simple metrics. The method has been evaluated on a recently published real dataset on Communities and Crime Within the United States.     

Constrained test in linear models with multivariate power exponential distribution

We investigate the problem of testing equality and inequality constraints on regression coefficients in linear models with multivariate power exponential (MPE) distribution. This distribution has received considerable attention in recent years and provides a useful generalization of the multivariate normal distribution. We examine the performance of the power of the likelihood ratio, Wald and Score tests for grouped data and in the presence of regressors, in small and moderate sample sizes, using Monte Carlo simulations. Additionally, we present a real example to illustrate the performance of the proposed tests under the MPE model.     

Efficient Sampling for Gaussian Linear Regression With Arbitrary Priors

This article develops a slice sampler for Bayesian linear regression models with arbitrary priors. The new sampler has two advantages over current approaches. One, it is faster than many custom implementations that rely on auxiliary latent variables, if the number of regressors is large. Two, it can be used with any prior with a density function that can be evaluated up to a normalizing constant, making it ideal for investigating the properties of new shrinkage priors without having to develop custom sampling algorithms. The new sampler takes advantage of the special structure of the linear regression likelihood, allowing it to produce better effective sample size per second than common alternative approaches.     

$$ \mathcal{P} $$-optimal robust designs for multiresponse approximately linear regression

This paper deals with the problem of P-optimal robust designs for multiresponse approximately linear regression models. Each response is assumed to be only approximately linear in the regressors, and the bias function varies over a given L2--neighbourhood. A kind of bivariate models with two responses is taken as an example to illustrate how to get the expression of the design measure.     

Estimating structural VARMA models with uncorrelated but non-independent error terms

The asymptotic properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) of vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) models are derived under the assumption that the errors are uncorrelated but not necessarily independent nor martingale differences. Relaxing the martingale difference assumption on the errors considerably extends the range of application of the VARMA models, and allows one to cover linear representations of general nonlinear processes. Conditions are given for the asymptotic normality of the QMLE. Particular attention is given to the estimation of the asymptotic variance matrix, which may be very different from that obtained in the standard framework.
