方差分量模型参数的广义岭估计

本文先将方差分量模型的方差分量化为派生模型的均值参数，分别作出其相对于ＬＳＥ和ＢＬＵＥ的广义岭估计，再根据二步估计法作出原模型均值参数的广义二乘估计及其进行一步的岭估计。证明了这样不仅使方差分量估计的均方误差减少，而且使原模型均值参数估计的均方误差也不均加和地一步减少。本文还找到了岭参数仅仅依据于样本的估计，这样既将岭估计方法推进至方差分量模型，也改进了方差分量模型参数的离差均值对应方法。

变系数混合模型的光滑样条推断

为了拟合纵向数据和其他相关数据,本文提出了变系数混合效应模型(VCMM).该模型运用变系数线性部分来表示协变量对响应变量的影响,而用随机效应来描述纵向数据组内的相关性, 因此,该模型允许协变量和响应变量之间存在十分灵活的泛函关系.文中运用光滑样条来估计均值部分的系数函数,而用限制最大似然的方法同时估计出光滑参数和方差成分,我们还得到了所提估计的计算方法.大量的模拟研究表明对于具有各种协方差结构的变系数混合效应模型,运用本文所提出的方法都能够十分有效地估计出模型中的系数函数和方差成分.

Predicting bank loan recovery rates with a mixed continuous‐discrete model

To represent the high concentration of recovery rates at the boundaries, we propose to consider the recovery rate as a mixed random variable, obtained as the mixture of a Bernoulli random variable and a beta random variable. We suggest to estimate the mixture weights and the Bernoulli parameter by two logistic regression models. For the recovery rates belonging to the interval (0,1), we model, jointly, the mean and the dispersion by using two link functions, so we propose the joint beta regression model that accommodates skewness and heteroscedastic errors. This methodological proposal is applied to a comprehensive survey on loan recovery process of Italian banks. In the regression model, we include some macroeconomic variables because they are relevant to explain the recovery rate and allow to estimate it in downturn conditions, as Basel II requires.

The new Neyman type A beta Weibull model with long-term survivors

For the first time, we propose a flexible cure rate survival model by assuming that the number of competing causes of the event of interest follows the Neyman type A distribution and the time to this event has the beta Weibull distribution. This new model can be used to analyze survival data when the hazard rate function is increasing, decreasing, bathtub or unimodal-shaped. It includes some commonly used lifetime distributions and some well-known cure rate models as special cases. Maximum likelihood and non-parametric bootstrap are used to estimate the regression parameters. We derive the appropriate matrices for assessing local influence on the parameter estimates under different perturbation schemes and present some ways to perform global influence analysis. The usefulness of the new model is illustrated by means of an application in the medical area.     

Risk aggregation in multivariate dependent Pareto distributions

In this paper we obtain closed expressions for the probability distribution function of aggregated risks with multivariate dependent Pareto distributions. We work with the dependent multivariate Pareto type II proposed by Arnold (1983, 2015), which is widely used in insurance and risk analysis. We begin with an individual risk model, where the probability density function corresponds to a second kind beta distribution, obtaining the VaR, TVaR and several other tail risk measures. Then, we consider a collective risk model based on dependence, where several general properties are studied. We study in detail some relevant collective models with Poisson, negative binomial and logarithmic distributions as primary distributions. In the collective Pareto–Poisson model, the probability density function is a function of the Kummer confluent hypergeometric function, and the density of the Pareto–negative binomial is a function of the Gauss hypergeometric function. Using data based on one-year vehicle insurance policies taken out in 2004–2005 (Jong and Heller, 2008) we conclude that our collective dependent models outperform other collective models considered in the actuarial literature in terms of AIC and CAIC statistics.     

Propriety of posterior distribution for dichotomous quantal response models

In this article, we investigate the property of posterior distribution for dichotomous quantal response models using a uniform prior distribution on the regression parameters. Sufficient and necessary conditions for the propriety of the posterior distribution with a general link function are established. In addition, the sufficient conditions for the existence of the posterior moments and the posterior moment generating function are also obtained. Finally, the relationship between the propriety of posterior distribution and the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate is examined.

     

微观数据和宏观汇总数据在统计分析上的差异——以C-D生产函数为例

基于2008年经济普查的数据,从描述统计分析和回归分析两方面分别对微观数据和宏观汇总数据在统计分析上的差异进行了实证分析.在描述统计分析中发现,宏观汇总数据比微观数据更接近正态分布,但对数化处理后的数据并非如此;在回归分析中发现,基于微观数据和宏观汇总数据估计的生产函数,在消除异方差和多重共线性之前,无论是在生产函数的规模效应、生产要素的贡献率以及生产要素对产出的解释力度上均存在着差异,但是在消除异方差和多重共线性之后,在要素对产出的解释力度上仍存在很大差异.     

Option Valuation with a Discrete-Time Double Markovian Regime-Switching Model

Abstract

This article develops an option valuation model in the context of a discrete-time double Markovian regime-switching (DMRS) model with innovations having a generic distribution. The DMRS model is more flexible than the traditional Markovian regime-switching model in the sense that the drift and the volatility of the price dynamics of the underlying risky asset are modulated by two observable, discrete-time and finite-state Markov chains, so that they are not perfectly correlated. The states of each of the chains represent states of proxies of (macro)economic factors. Here we consider the situation that one (macro)economic factor is caused by the other (macro)economic factor. The market model is incomplete, and so there is more than one equivalent martingale measure. We employ a discrete-time version of the regime-switching Esscher transform to determine an equivalent martingale measure for valuation. Different parametric distributions for the innovations of the price dynamics of the underlying risky asset are considered. Simulation experiments are conducted to illustrate the implementation of the model and to document the impacts of the macroeconomic factors described by the chains on the option prices under various different parametric models for the innovations.

Heteroscedastic Laplace mixture of experts regression models and applications

Mixture of Experts(MoE) regression models are widely studied in statistics and machine learning for modeling heterogeneity in data for regression, clustering and classification.Laplace distribution is one of the most important statistical tools to analyze thick and tail data. Laplace Mixture of Linear Experts(LMoLE) regression models are based on the Laplace distribution which is more robust. Similar to modelling variance parameter in a homogeneous population, we propose and study a new novel class of models: heteroscedastic Laplace mixture of experts regression models to analyze the heteroscedastic data coming from a heterogeneous population in this paper. The issues of maximum likelihood estimation are addressed. In particular, Minorization-Maximization(MM) algorithm for estimating the regression parameters is developed. Properties of the estimators of the regression coefficients are evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations. Results from the analysis of two real data sets are presented.     

Estimation of covariance matrices in fixed and mixed effects linear models

The estimation of the covariance matrix or the multivariate components of variance is considered in the multivariate linear regression models with effects being fixed or random. In this paper, we propose a new method to show that usual unbiased estimators are improved on by the truncated estimators. The method is based on the Stein–Haff identity, namely the integration by parts in the Wishart distribution, and it allows us to handle the general types of scale-equivariant estimators as well as the general fixed or mixed effects linear models.
