Double penalized variable selection procedure for partially linear models with longitudinal data

Based on the double penalized estimation method,a new variable selection procedure is proposed for partially linear models with longitudinal data.The proposed procedure can avoid the effects of the nonparametric estimator on the variable selection for the parameters components.Under some regularity conditions,the rate of convergence and asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators are established.In addition,to improve efficiency for regression coefficients,the estimation of the working covariance matrix is involved in the proposed iterative algorithm.Some simulation studies are carried out to demonstrate that the proposed method performs well.     

Reducing component estimation for varying coefficient models with longitudinal data

Varying-coefficient models with longitudinal observations are very useful in epidemiology and some other practical fields.In this paper,a reducing component procedure is proposed for es- timating the unknown functions and their derivatives in very general models,in which the unknown coefficient functions admit different or the same degrees of smoothness and the covariates can be time- dependent.The asymptotic properties of the estimators,such as consistency,rate of convergence and asymptotic distribution,are derived.The asymptotic results show that the asymptotic variance of the reducing component estimators is smaller than that of the existing estimators when the coefficient functions admit different degrees of smoothness.Finite sample properties of our procedures are studied through Monte Carlo simulations.     

Asymptotic properties in semiparametric partially linear regression models for functional data

We consider the semiparametric partially linear regression models with mean function XTβ + g(z), where X and z are functional data. The new estimators of β and g(z) are presented and some asymptotic results are given. The strong convergence rates of the proposed estimators are obtained. In our estimation, the observation number of each subject will be completely flexible. Some simulation study is conducted to investigate the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators.     

Nonparametric estimation for contamination distribution

In the paper, for the contamination distribution model F（x） = （1-α）F1（x）＋αF2（x）, the estimates of α and F1 （x） are studied using two different ways when F2 （x） is known and the strong consistency of the two estimates is proved. At the same time the consistency rate of estimate α is also given.

Estimation of partial linear error-in-response models with validation data

In this paper, an estimation theory in partial linear model is developed when there is measurement error in the response and when validation data are available. A semiparametric method with the primary data is used to define two estimators for both the regression parameter and the nonparametric part using the least squares criterion with the help of validation data. The proposed estimators of the parameter are proved to be strongly consistent and asymptotically normaal, and the estimators of the nonparametric part are also proved to be strongly consistent and weakly consistent with an optimal convergent rate. Then, the two estimators of the parameter are compared based on their empirical performances.

Local asymptotic behavior of regression splines for marginal semiparametric models with longitudinal data

In this paper, we study the local asymptotic behavior of the regression spline estimator in the framework of marginal semiparametric model. Similarly to Zhu, Fung and He (2008), we give explicit expression for the asymptotic bias of regression spline estimator for nonparametric function f. Our results also show that the asymptotic bias of the regression spline estimator does not depend on the working covariance matrix, which distinguishes the regression splines from the smoothing splines and the seemingly u...     

Generalized empirical likelihood inference in semiparametric regression model for longitudinal data

In this paper, we consider the semiparametric regression model for longitudinal data. Due to the correlation within groups, a generalized empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic for the unknown parameters in the model is suggested by introducing the working covariance matrix. It is proved that the proposed statistic is asymptotically standard chi-squared under some suitable conditions, and hence it can be used to construct the confidence regions of the parameters. A simulation study is conducted to compare the proposed method with the generalized least squares method in terms of coverage accuracy and average lengths of the confidence intervals.     

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.

Empirical likelihood-based inference in a partially linear model for longitudinal data

A partially linear model with longitudinal data is considered, empirical likelihood to infer- ence for the regression coefficients and the baseline function is investigated, the empirical log-likelihood ratios is proven to be asymptotically chi-squared, and the corresponding confidence regions for the pa- rameters of interest are then constructed. Also by the empirical likelihood ratio functions, we can obtain the maximum empirical likelihood estimates of the regression coefficients and the baseline function, and prove the asymptotic normality. The numerical results are conducted to compare the performance of the empirical likelihood and the normal approximation-based method, and a real example is analysed.     

Wavelet estimation of the diffusion coefficient in time dependent diffusion models

The estimation problem for diffusion coefficients in diffusion processes has been studied in many papers,where the diffusion coefficient function is assumed to be a 1-dimensional bounded Lipschitzian function of the state or the time only.There is no previous work for the nonparametric estimation of time-dependent diffusion models where the diffusion coefficient depends on both the state and the time.This paper introduces and studies a wavelet estimation of the time-dependent diffusion coefficient under a more general assumption that the diffusion coefficient is a linear growth Lipschitz function.Using the properties of martingale,we translate the problems in diffusion into the nonparametric regression setting and give the L~r convergence rate.A strong consistency of the estimate is established.With this result one can estimate the time-dependent diffusion coefficient using the same structure of the wavelet estimators under any equivalent probability measure.For example, in finance,the wavelet estimator is strongly consistent under the market probability measure as well as the risk neutral probability measure.

Estimation in partial linear EV models with replicated observations

The aim of this work is to construct the parameter estimators in the partial linear errors-in-variables (EV) models and explore their asymptotic properties. Unlike other related references, the assumption of known error covariance matrix is removed when the sample can be repeatedly drawn at each designed point from the model. The estimators of interested regression parameters, and the model error variance, as well as the non-parametric function, are constructed. Under some regular conditions, all of the estimators prove strongly consistent. Meanwhile, the asymptotic normality for the estimator of regression parameter is also presented. A simulation study is reported to illustrate our asymptotic results.     

Strong consistency of M-estimates in linear models

The strong consistency of M-estimates of the regression coefficients in a linear model under some mild conditions is established, which is an essential improvement over the relevant results in the literature on the moment condition. Especially, in some important circumstances, onlyE|ψ(e_k)|^q for some q > 1 is needed, where ψ{e_k} is some score function of random error.
