Asymptotic theory for varying coefficient regression models with dependent data

The varying coefficient models (VCMs) are extremely important tools in the statistical literature and are widely used in many subject areas for data modeling and exploration. In linear VCMs, typically the errors are assumed to be independent. However, in many situations, especially in spatial or spatiotemporal settings, this is not a viable assumption. In this article, we consider nonparametric VCMs with a general dependent error structure which allows for both spatially autoregressive and spatial moving average models as special cases. We investigate asymptotic properties of local polynomial estimators of the model components. Specifically, we show that the estimates of the unknown functions and their derivatives are consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. We show that the rate of convergence and the asymptotic covariance matrix depend on the error dependence structure and we derive the explicit formula for the convergence results.     

Rank-Score Tests in Factorial Designs with Repeated Measures

Nonparametric factorial designs for multivariate observations are considered under the framework of general rank-score statistics. Unlike most of the literature, we do not assume the continuity of the underlying distribution functions. The models studied include general repeated measures designs, compound symmetry designs, and designs for longitudinal data. In particular, designs for ordered categorical data are included. The vectors of the multivariate observations may have different lengths. Moreover, our general framework includes missing values and singular covariance matrices which occur quite frequently in practical data analysis problems. The asymptotic properties of the proposed statistics are studied under general nonparametric hypotheses as well as under a sequence of nonparametric contiguous alternatives. L₂-consistent estimators for the unknown covariance matrices are given and two types of quadratic forms are considered for testing the nonparametric hypotheses. The results are applied to a two-way mixed model assuming compound symmetry and to a factorial design for longitudinal data. The main idea of the proofs is based on some moment inequalities for empirical distribution functions in mixed models. The details are provided in the Appendix.     

Asymptotic distributions of two “synthetic data” estimators for censored single-index models

The censored single-index model provides a flexible way for modelling the association between a response and a set of predictor variables when the response variable is randomly censored and the link function is unknown. It presents a technique for “dimension reduction” in semiparametric censored regression models and generalizes the existing accelerated failure time models for survival analysis. This paper proposes two methods for estimation of single-index models with randomly censored samples. We first transform the censored data into synthetic data or pseudo-responses unbiasedly, then obtain estimates of the index coefficients by the rOPG or rMAVE procedures of Xia (2006) [1]. Finally, we estimate the unknown nonparametric link function using techniques for univariate censored nonparametric regression. The estimators for the index coefficients are shown to be root-n consistent and asymptotically normal. In addition, the estimator for the unknown regression function is a local linear kernel regression estimator and can be estimated with the same efficiency as the parameters are known. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to illustrate the proposed methodologies.     

Stochastic EM algorithms for parametric and semiparametric mixture models for right-censored lifetime data

Mixture models in reliability bring a useful compromise between parametric and nonparametric models, when several failure modes are suspected. The classical methods for estimation in mixture models rarely handle the additional difficulty coming from the fact that lifetime data are often censored, in a deterministic or random way. We present in this paper several iterative methods based on EM and Stochastic EM methodologies, that allow us to estimate parametric or semiparametric mixture models for randomly right censored lifetime data, provided they are identifiable. We consider different levels of completion for the (incomplete) observed data, and provide genuine or EM-like algorithms for several situations. In particular, we show that simulating the missing data coming from the mixture allows to plug a standard R package for survival data analysis in an EM algorithm’s M-step. Moreover, in censored semiparametric situations, a stochastic step is the only practical solution allowing computation of nonparametric estimates of the unknown survival function. The effectiveness of the new proposed algorithms are demonstrated in simulation studies and an actual dataset example from aeronautic industry.     

Strong Consistency of the Maximum Product of Spacings Estimates with Applications in Nonparametrics and in Estimation of Unimodal Densities

Distributions with unimodal densities are among the most commonly used in practice. However, for many unimodal distribution families the likelihood functions may be unbounded, thereby leading to inconsistent estimates. The maximum product of spacings (MPS) method, introduced by Cheng and Amin and independently by Ranneby, has been known to give consistent and asymptotically normal estimators in many parametric situations where the maximum likelihood method fails. In this paper, strong consistency theorems for the MPS method are obtained under general conditions which are comparable to the conditions of Bahadur and Wang for the maximum likelihood method. The consistency theorems obtained here apply to both parametric models and some nonparametric models. In particular, in any unimodal distribution family the asymptotic MPS estimator of the underlying unimodal density is shown to be universally L¹ consistent without any further conditions (in parametric or nonparametric settings).     

Testing the equality of linear single-index models

Comparison of nonparametric regression models has been extensively discussed in the literature for the one-dimensional covariate case. The comparison problem largely remains open for completely nonparametric models with multi-dimensional covariates. We address this issue under the assumption that models are single-index models (SIMs). We propose a test for checking the equality of the mean functions of two (or more) SIM’s. The asymptotic normality of the test statistic is established and an empirical study is conducted to evaluate the finite-sample performance of the proposed procedure.

Local influence analysis for semiparametric reproductive dispersion nonlinear models

The present paper proposes a semiparametric reproductive dispersion nonlinear model (SRDNM) which is an extension of the nonlinear reproductive dispersion models and the semiparameter regression models. Maximum penalized likelihood estimates (MPLEs) of unknown parameters and nonparametric functions in SRDNM are presented. Assessment of local influence for various perturbation schemes are investigated. Some local influence diagnostics are given. A simulation study and a real example are used to illustrate the proposed methodologies.     

On estimation of surrogate models for multivariate computer experiments

Estimation of surrogate models for computer experiments leads to nonparametric regression estimation problems without noise in the dependent variable. In this paper, we propose an empirical maximal deviation minimization principle to construct estimates in this context and analyze the rate of convergence of corresponding quantile estimates. As an application, we consider estimation of computer experiments with moderately high dimension by neural networks and show that here we can circumvent the so-called curse of dimensionality by imposing rather general assumptions on the structure of the regression function. The estimates are illustrated by applying them to simulated data and to a simulation model in mechanical engineering.
