纵向数据非参数混合效应模型的一个局部不变估计

非参数核回归方法近年来已被用于纵向数据的分析(Lin和Carroll,2000)．一个颇具争议性的问题是在非参数核回归中是否需要考虑纵向数据间的相关性．Lin和Carroll (2000)证明了基于独立性(即忽略相关性)的核估计在一类核GEE估计量中是(渐近)最有效的．基于混合效应模型方法作者提出了一个不同的核估计类,它自然而有效地结合了纵向数据的相关结构．估计量达到了与Lin和Carroll的估计量相同的渐近有效性,且在有限样本情形下表现更好．由此方法可以很容易地获得对于总体和个体的非参数曲线估计．所提出的估计量具有较好的统计性质,且实施方便,从而对实际工作者具有较大的吸引力．     

基于分层抽样的校准方法分别比率-乘积估计研究

比率估计在抽样估计阶段利用辅助信息,提高了估计量的估计精度,是抽样调查中一类较为常用的估计方法,但现有的一些比率估计方法均具有各自的最优条件,这在一定程度上影响了它们在实际调查中的应用。为了解决比率估计的最优限制问题,本文引入了校准估计方法,并基于分层抽样研究了总体均值的校准方法分别比率-乘积估计量。在大样本情况下,本文推导了新估计量的估计偏差和均方误差,说明新估计量具有渐近无偏性,并在估计量均方误差最小时,得到了总体参数的渐近最优估计量和渐近最优估计量的方差。在模拟研究中,根据比率估计量的最优条件是否满足,本文生成了两种不同的总体,对比分析了新估计量和现有比率估计量的估计效果,结果表明在两种不同的情况下,新估计量的估计效果均优于现有估计量的估计效果。最后,本文利用一个实际例子,验证了新估计量的有效性和实用性。

本文所考察的问题是如何减少一般的去d刀切法的计算。已被证明:对线性模型中的方差使用去d刀切法所得的估计量具有稳健性和其它一切渐近性质,而这些性质在传统的去1刀切法场合是不具有的。由于去d刀切方差估计量的计算量是很大的,假如从所有的■中随机地选出部分,组成的刀切抽样方差估计(JSVE),保持了一般去d刀切方差所具有的一切渐近性质,在小样本模拟试验也显示出一些良好性质。

Asymptotic Comparisons of Several Variance Estimators and their Effects for Studentizations

In this paper we obtain asymptotic representations of several variance estimators of U-statistics and study their effects for studentizations via Edgeworth expansions. Jackknife, unbiased and Sen's variance estimators are investigated up to the order o^p(n^-1). Substituting these estimators to studentized U-statistics, the Edgeworth expansions with remainder term o(n^-1) are established and inverting the expansions, the effects on confidence intervals are discussed theoretically. We also show that Hinkley's corrected jackknife variance estimator is asymptotically equivalent to the unbiased variance estimator up to the order o^p(n^-1).     

Multiple imputation and other resampling schemes for imputing missing observations

The problem of imputing missing observations under the linear regression model is considered. It is assumed that observations are missing at random and all the observations on the auxiliary or independent variables are available. Estimates of the regression parameters based on singly and multiply imputed values are given. Jackknife as well as bootstrap estimates of the variance of the singly imputed estimator of the regression parameters are given. These estimators are shown to be consistent estimators. The asymptotic distributions of the imputed estimators are also given to obtain interval estimates of the parameters of interest. These interval estimates are then compared with the interval estimates obtained from multiple imputation. It is shown that singly imputed estimators perform at least as good as multiply imputed estimators. A new nonparametric multiply imputed estimator is proposed and shown to perform as good as a multiply imputed estimator under normality. The singly imputed estimator, however, still remains at least as good as a multiply imputed estimator.     

Alternatives to a Semi-Parametric Estimator of Parameters of Rare Events—The Jackknife Methodology*

In this paper, and in a context of regularly varying tails, we propose different alternatives to a well-known estimator of the tail index—the Hill estimator (Hill, 1975). These alternatives have essentially in mind a reduction in bias, preferably without increasing Mean Square Error, by the use of suitable Generalized Jackknife methodologies (Gray and Schucany, 1972). The first estimate obtained through this methodolgy is the one introduced by Peng (1998), under a different context. Other Generalized Jackknife estimators are linear combinations of Hill estimators at different levels. This methodology of affine combinations of Hill estimators at different levels may be easily generalized to other semi-parametric estimators of the tail index, like Pickands' estimator (Pickands, 1975) or the Moment's estimator (Dekkers et al., 1989), and consequently to a general real tail index, seeming to be a promising field of research.     

The jackknife procedure for the probabilities of misclassification

Seven estimators for the probabilities of misclassification associated with the linear discriminant function are considered. Four of them are known in the literature. The remaining three are constructed through the Jackknife Procedure. An empirical investigation is conducted to evaluate the relative merits of these estimators. Summary of the results is presented.     

On the estimation of optimal batch sizes in the analysis of simulation output

The estimation of the variance of point estimators is a classical problem of stochastic simulation. A more specific problem addresses the estimation of the variance of a sample mean from a steady-state autocorrelated process. Many proposed estimators of the variance of the sample mean are parameterized by batch size. A critical problem is to find an appropriate batch size that provides a good tradeoff between bias and variance. This paper proposes a procedure for determining the optimal batch size to minimize the mean squared error of estimators of the variance of the sample mean. This paper also presents the results of empirical studies of the procedure. The experiments involve symmetric two-state Markov chain models, first-order autoregressive processes, seasonal autoregressive processes, and queue-waiting times for several M/M/1 queueing models. The empirical results indicate that the estimation procedure works nearly as well as it would if the parameters of the processes were known.

Sample rotation theory with missing data

This paper studies how the sample rotation method is applied to the case where item non-response occurs in surveys. The two cases where the response to the first occasion is complete or incomplete are considered. Using ratio imputation method, the estimators of the current population mean are proposed, which are valid under uniform response regardless of the model and under the ratio model regardless of the response mechanism. Under uniform response, the variances of the proposed estimators are derived. Interestingly, although their expressions are similar, the estimator for the case of incomplete response on the first occasion can have smaller variance than the one for the case of complete response on the first occasion under uniform response. The linearized jackknife variance estimators are also given. These variance estimators prove to be approximately design-unbiased under uniform response. It should be noted that similar property on variance estimators has not been discussed in literature.

??The Bayes estimators of variance components are derived under weighted square loss function for the balanced one-way classification random effects model with the assumption that variance component has the conjugate prior distribution. The superiorities of the Bayes estimators for variance components to traditional ANOVA estimators are studied in terms of the mean square error (MSE) criterion. Finally, a remark for main results is given.     

Generalized variance estimators in the multivariate gamma models

It is already known that the uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU) estimator of the generalized variance always exists for any natural exponential family. However, in practice, this estimator is often difficult to obtain. This paper provides explicit forms of the UMVU estimators for the bivariate and symmetric multivariate gamma models, which are diagonal quadratic exponential families. For the non-independent multivariate gamma models, it is shown that the UMVU and the maximum likelihood estimators are not proportional.
