基于区间数据最大似然估计的新方法

In this paper, we study the two-parameter maximum likelihood estimation (MLE)problem for the GE distribution with consideration of interval data. In the presence of interval data, the analytical forms for the restricted MLE of the parameters of GE distribution do not exist. Since interval data is kind of incomplete data, the EM algorithm can be applied to compute the MLEs of the parameters. However the EM algorithm could be less effective.To improve effectiveness, an equivalent lifetime method is employed. The two methods are discussed via simulation studies.     

Estimating a model through the conditional MLE

The estimation problem of a model through the conditional maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is explored. The estimated model is compared using the two dual Kullback-Leibler losses with that through the unconditional MLE. The former is found to be superior to the latter under familiar models. This result is applicable to the model selection problem. These suggest a novel extensive use of the conditional likelihood, since the traditional use of the conditional likelihood was restricted only on inference for the structural parameter.     

Strong consistency of MLE for finite uniform mixtures when the scale parameters are exponentially small

We consider maximum likelihood estimation of finite mixture of uniform distributions. We prove that maximum likelihood estimator is strongly consistent, if the scale parameters of the component uniform distributions are restricted from below by exp(−n ^d ), 0<d<1, wheren is the sample size.     

The Kullback-Leibler risk of the Stein estimator and the conditional MLE

The decomposition of the Kullback-Leibler risk of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is discussed in relation to the Stein estimator and the conditional MLE. A notable correspondence between the decomposition in terms of the Stein estimator and that in terms of the conditional MLE is observed. This decomposition reflects that of the expected log-likelihood ratio. Accordingly, it is concluded that these modified estimators reduce the risk by reducing the expected log-likelihood ratio. The empirical Bayes method is discussed from this point of view.     

CONSISTENCY OF MLE OF THE PARAMETER OF EXPONENTIAL LIFETIME DISTRIBUTION FOR RANDOM CENSORING MODEL WITH INCOMPLETE INFORMATION

In this paper, we have discussed a random censoring test with incomplete information, and proved that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the parameter based on the randomly censored data with incomplete information in the case of the exponential distribution has the strong consistency.

More comparisons of MLE with UMVUE for exponential families

Under some regularity conditions, the asymptotic expected deficiency (AED) of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) relative to the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE) for a given one-parameter estimable function of an exponential family is obtained. The exact expressions of the AED for normal, lognormal, inverse Gaussian, exponential (or gamma), Pareto, hyperbolic secant, Bernoulli, Poisson and geometric (or negative binomial) distributions are also derived.     

Convergence rates of MLE in a partly linear model

This paper considers the estimation for a partly linear model with case 1 interval censored data. We assume that the error distribution belongs to a known family of scale distributions with an unknown scale parameter. The sieve maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for the model’s parameter is shown to be strongly consistent, and the convergence rate of the estimator is obtained and discussed.     

Consistency of the penalized MLE for two-parameter gamma mixture models

Two-parameter gamma distributions are widely used in liability theory, lifetime data analysis, financial statistics, and other areas. Finite mixtures of gamma distributions are their natural extensions, and they are particularly useful when the population is suspected of heterogeneity. These distributions are successfully employed in various applications, but many researchers falsely believe that the maximum likelihood estimator of the mixing distribution is consistent. Similarly to finite mixtures of normal distributions, the likelihood function under finite gamma mixtures is unbounded. Because of this, each observed value leads to a global maximum that is irrelevant to the true distribution. We apply a seemingly negligible penalty to the likelihood according to the shape parameters in the fitted model. We show that this penalty restores the consistency of the likelihoodbased estimator of the mixing distribution under finite gamma mixture models. We present simulation results to validate the consistency conclusion, and we give an example to illustrate the key points.

Ⅱ型区间删失数据下广义部分线性模型的筛极大似然估计(英文)

This article concerded with a semiparametric generalized partial linear model （GPLM） with the type Ⅱ censored data. A sieve maximum likelihood estimator （MLE） is proposed to estimate the parameter component, allowing exploration of the nonlinear relationship between a certain covariate and the response function. Asymptotic properties of the proposed sieve MLEs are discussed. Under some mild conditions, the estimators are shown to be strongly consistent. Moreover, the estimators of the unknown parameters are asymptotically normal and efficient, and the estimator of the nonparametric function has an optimal convergence rate.

Stochastic monotonicity of the MLE of exponential mean under different censoring schemes

In this paper, we present a general method which can be used in order to show that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of an exponential mean θ is stochastically increasing with respect to θ under different censored sampling schemes. This propery is essential for the construction of exact confidence intervals for θ via “pivoting the cdf” as well as for the tests of hypotheses about θ. The method is shown for Type-I censoring, hybrid censoring and generalized hybrid censoring schemes. We also establish the result for the exponential competing risks model with censoring.
