Efficient estimation for semiparametric varying- coefficient partially linear regression models with current status data

This article considers a semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear regression model with current status data. The semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear regression model which is a generalization of the partially linear regression model and varying-coefficient regression model that allows one to explore the possibly nonlinear effect of a certain covariate on the response variable. A Sieve maximum likelihood estimation method is proposed and the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are discussed. Under some mild conditions, the estimators are shown to be strongly consistent. The convergence rate of the estimator for the unknown smooth function is obtained and the estimator for the unknown parameter is shown to be asymptotically efficient and normally distributed. Simulation studies are conducted to examine the small-sample properties of the proposed estimates and a real dataset is used to illustrate our approach.

Independent rule in classification of multivariate binary data

We consider the performance of the independent rule in classification of multivariate binary data. In this article, broad studies are presented including the performance of the independent rule when the number of variables, d, is fixed or increased with the sample size, n. The latter situation includes the case of d=O(n^τ) for τ>0 which cover “the small sample and the large dimension”, namely dn when τ>1. Park and Ghosh [J. Park, J.K. Ghosh, Persistence of plug-in rule in classification of high dimensional binary data, Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference 137 (2007) 3687–3707] studied the independent rule in terms of the consistency of misclassification error rate which is called persistence under growing numbers of dimensions, but they did not investigate the convergence rate. We present asymptotic results in view of the convergence rate under some structured parameter space and highlight that variable selection is necessary to improve the performance of the independent rule. We also extend the applications of the independent rule to the case of correlated binary data such as the Bahadur representation and the logit model. It is emphasized that variable selection is also needed in correlated binary data for the improvement of the performance of the independent rule.     

Exact distribution of MLE of covariance matrix in a GMANOVA-MANOVA model

For a GMANOVA-MANOVA model with normal error: Y = XB1Z1 T B2Z2 T E, E- Nq×n(0, In (?) ∑), the present paper is devoted to the study of distribution of MLE, ∑, of covariance matrix ∑. The main results obtained are stated as follows: (1) When rk(Z) -rk(Z2) ≥ q-rk(X), the exact distribution of ∑ is derived, where z = (Z1,Z2), rk(A) denotes the rank of matrix A. (2) The exact distribution of |∑| is gained. (3) It is proved that ntr{[S-1 - ∑-1XM(MTXT∑-1XM)-1MTXT∑-1]∑}has X2(q_rk(x))(n-rk(z2)) distribution, where M is the matrix whose columns are the standardized orthogonal eigenvectors corresponding to the nonzero eigenvalues of XT∑-1X.
