Higher Order Inference On A Treatment Effect Under Low Regularity Conditions

We describe a novel approach to nonparametric point and interval estimation of a treatment effect in the presence of many continuous confounders. We show that the problem can be reduced to that of point and interval estimation of the expected conditional covariance between treatment and response given the confounders. Our estimators are higher order U-statistics. The approach applies equally to the regular case where the expected conditional covariance is root-n estimable and to the irregular case where slower nonparametric rates prevail.

简单半序约束下估计位置参数的一个非参方法

This paper deals with estimating parameters under simple order when samples come from location models. Based on the idea of Hodges and Lehmann estimator (H-L estimator), a new approach to estimate parameters is proposed, which is difference with the classical L1 isotonic regression and L2 isotonic regression. An algorithm to compute estimators is given. Simulations by the Monte-Carlo method is applied to compare the likelihood functions with respect to L1 estimators and weighted isotonic H-L estimators.     

Local Walsh-average-based estimation and variable selection for single-index models

We propose a robust estimation procedure based on local Walsh-average regression(LWR) for single-index models. Our novel method provides a root-n consistent estimate of the single-index parameter under some mild regularity conditions; the estimate of the unknown link function converges at the usual rate for the nonparametric estimation of a univariate covariate. We theoretically demonstrate that the new estimators show significant efficiency gain across a wide spectrum of non-normal error distributions and have almost no loss of efficiency for the normal error. Even in the worst case, the asymptotic relative efficiency(ARE) has a lower bound compared with the least squares(LS) estimates; the lower bounds of the AREs are 0.864 and 0.8896 for the single-index parameter and nonparametric function, respectively. Moreover, the ARE of the proposed LWR-based approach versus the ARE of the LS-based method has an expression that is closely related to the ARE of the signed-rank Wilcoxon test as compared with the t-test. In addition, to obtain a sparse estimate of the single-index parameter, we develop a variable selection procedure by combining the estimation method with smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty; this procedure is shown to possess the oracle property. We also propose a Bayes information criterion(BIC)-type criterion for selecting the tuning parameter and further prove its ability to consistently identify the true model. We conduct some Monte Carlo simulations and a real data analysis to illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed methods.     

Estimation of means of multivariate normal populations with order restriction

Multivariate isotonic regression theory plays a key role in the field of statistical inference under order restriction for vector valued parameters. Two cases of estimating multivariate normal means under order restricted set are considered. One case is that covariance matrices are known, the other one is that covariance matrices are unknown but are restricted by partial order. This paper shows that when covariance matrices are known, the estimator given by this paper always dominates unrestricted maximum likelihood estimator uniformly, and when covariance matrices are unknown, the plug-in estimator dominates unrestricted maximum likelihood estimator under the order restricted set of covariance matrices. The isotonic regression estimators in this paper are the generalizations of plug-in estimators in unitary case.     

An Isotonic Regression Problem for Infinite-Dimensional Parameters

We consider an infinite-dimensional isotonic regression problem which is an extension of the suitably revised classical isotonic regression problem. Given p-summable data, for p finite and at least one, there exists an optimal estimator to our problem. For p greater than one, this estimator is unique and is the limit in the p-norm of the sequence of unique estimators in canonical finite-dimensional truncations of our problem. However, for p equal to one, our problem, as well as the finite-dimensional truncations, admit multiple optimal estimators in general. In this case, the sequence of optimal estimator sets to the truncations converges to the optimal estimator set of the infinite problem in the sense of Kuratowski. Moreover, the selection of natural best optimal estimators to the truncations converges in the 1-norm to an optimal estimator of the infinite problem.     

On spline approximation of sliced inverse regression

The dimension reduction is helpful and often necessary in exploring the nonparametric regression structure.In this area,Sliced inverse regression (SIR) is a promising tool to estimate the central dimension reduction (CDR) space.To estimate the kernel matrix of the SIR,we herein suggest the spline approximation using the least squares regression.The heteroscedasticity can be incorporated well by introducing an appropriate weight function.The root-n asymptotic normality can be achieved for a wide range choice of knots.This is essentially analogous to the kernel estimation.Moreover, we also propose a modified Bayes information criterion (BIC) based on the eigenvalues of the SIR matrix.This modified BIC can be applied to any form of the SIR and other related methods.The methodology and some of the practical issues are illustrated through the horse mussel data.Empirical studies evidence the performance of our proposed spline approximation by comparison of the existing estimators.     

Modifying estimators of ordered positive parameters under the Stein loss

This paper treats the problem of estimating positive parameters restricted to a polyhedral convex cone which includes typical order restrictions, such as simple order, tree order and umbrella order restrictions. In this paper, two methods are used to show the improvement of order-preserving estimators over crude non-order-preserving estimators without any assumption on underlying distributions. One is to use Fenchel’s duality theorem, and then the superiority of the isotonic regression estimator is established under the general restriction to polyhedral convex cones. The use of the Abel identity is the other method, and we can derive a class of improved estimators which includes order-statistics-based estimators in the typical order restrictions. When the underlying distributions are scale families, the unbiased estimators and their order-restricted estimators are shown to be minimax. The minimaxity of the restrictedly generalized Bayes estimator against the prior over the restricted space is also demonstrated in the two dimensional case. Finally, some examples and multivariate extensions are given.
