长度偏差右删失数据下分位数回归的估计方程方法

本文首先建立左截断右删失数据下的一般分位数回归方法.当截断变量服从均匀分布时,左截断右删失数据变成长度偏差右删失数据.长度偏差数据因其特殊性,提供了更多的信息.当把适用于左截断右删失数据的一般方法用到长度偏差右删失数据时,得到的估计量并不有效,这是因为它们没有利用该数据的特殊结构.为了提高效率,本文提出复合估计方程方法来解决长度偏差右删失数据下的分位数回归问题,这种方法并不需要估计删失变量的分布.所提出的估计方程可以通过一个求L_1型凸函数最小值的简单算法来求解.本文用经验过程和随机积分的技巧建立了所提出估计量的一致相合性和弱收敛性.随机模拟验证了所提出方法在有限样本时的表现,并且给出了实例分析.     

一般偏差右删失数据下剩余寿命分位数回归

剩余寿命是刻画个体预期寿命的一个重要度量,对剩余寿命的早期研究主要集中在剩余均值上.然而当总体生存函数偏态或厚尾时剩余均值函数可能不存在,因此统计学者建议用剩余寿命分位数来刻画预期寿命.在完全数据和右删失数据下,剩余寿命分位数的建模和理论已经很完善.但是,在实际的调查研究中经常会遇到偏差抽样数据.例如,临床医学中的左截断数据,流行病学中的病例队列抽样数据,医学大型队列研究中的长度偏差抽样数据等等.忽略抽样偏差会导致参数估计有偏和不合理的推断结果.本文考虑一般偏差右删失数据下剩余寿命分位数回归的统计推断问题.首先,我们提出了一个一般偏差右删失数据下的剩余寿命分位数回归模型,并利用一般估计方程方法对模型中的参数进行了估计.针对已有文献常用的删失变量与协变量独立性假设,本文重点考虑了删失变量依赖于协变量场合.其次,由于估计量的渐近方差中涉及非参密度函数,在估计渐近方差时,本文采用Bootstrap方法.最后,数值模拟显示本文提出的方法有限样本性质表现很好.     

删失混合效应模型的分位回归及变量选择

纵向数据常常用正态混合效应模型进行分析.然而,违背正态性的假定往往会导致无效的推断.与传统的均值回归相比较,分位回归可以给出响应变量条件分布的完整刻画,对于非正态误差分布也可以给稳健的估计结果.本文主要考虑右删失响应下纵向混合效应模型的分位回归估计和变量选择问题.首先,逆删失概率加权方法被用来得到模型的参数估计.其次,结合逆删失概率加权和LASSO惩罚变量选择方法考虑了模型的变量选择问题.蒙特卡洛模拟显示所提方法要比直接删除删失数据的估计方法更具优势.最后,分析了一组艾滋病数据集来展示所提方法的实际应用效果.

长度偏差右删失数据下均值剩余寿命的复合估计

长度偏差右删失数据是一类复杂的数据,观察到的数据分布与总体分布有所改变且其删失是有信息删失,通常的统计分析方法并不能直接应用到长度偏差数据中.本文将在长度偏差右删失数据下研究均值剩余寿命函数,提出其非参数估计方法,在估计中通过加入长度偏差右删失数据辅助信息,即截断变量和进入试验后的剩余存活时间同分布的辅助信息来提高估计的效率.虽然极大似然方法是有效估计,但是其构造复杂且计算需要迭代来实现,计算量大.为此,本文考虑通过简单的加入辅助信息的方法来构造估计量,并给出估计量的相合性及渐近正态性.本文提出的加入辅助信息估计方法与以往类似方法相比具有较简单的显式表达式,计算方便.     

删失数据下回归函数的加权局部复合分位数 回归估计

在右删失数据下,研究了误差具有异方差结构的非参数回归模型,利用局部多项式方法构造了回归函数的加权局部复合分位数回归估计,并得到了该估计的渐近正态性结果,最后通过模拟,当误差为重尾分布时,该估计比局部多项式估计以及核估计表现得更好.

函数型空间自回归模型的贝叶斯估计

函数型数据广泛地存在于社会的各个领域, 函数型数据分析也成为越来越热的统计研究方向. 经典的函数型回归模型一般假设响应变量是一个独立变量, 而在经济学, 环境科学等领域会经常遇到响应变量具有空间相依关系. 因此针对带有空间响应变量的部分函数型空间自回归模型, 基于函数型主成分分析和MCMC算法研究了模型的贝叶斯估计. 运用■表示定理来逼近函数型系数的思想, 以及应用Gibbs抽样和Metropolis-Hastings算法相结合的混合MCMC算法来获得模型中未知参数和函数型系数的贝叶斯估计结果. 最后通过模拟研究和对加拿大气温数据的实证分析来表明所提出的贝叶斯估计方法是可行有效的.

Partial functional linear quantile regression

This paper studies estimation in partial functional linear quantile regression in which the dependent variable is related to both a vector of finite length and a function-valued random variable as predictor variables. The slope function is estimated by the functional principal component basis. The asymptotic distribution of the estimator of the vector of slope parameters is derived and the global convergence rate of the quantile estimator of unknown slope function is established under suitable norm. It is showed that this rate is optimal in a minimax sense under some smoothness assumptions on the covariance kernel of the covariate and the slope function. The convergence rate of the mean squared prediction error for the proposed estimators is also be established. Finite sample properties of our procedures are studied through Monte Carlo simulations. A real data example about Berkeley growth data is used to illustrate our proposed methodology.

Efficient estimation and variable selection for infinite variance autoregressive models

In this paper, a self-weighted composite quantile regression estimation procedure is developed to estimate unknown parameter in an infinite variance autoregressive (IVAR) model. The proposed estimator is asymptotically normal and more efficient than a single quantile regression estimator. At the same time, the adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for variable selection are also suggested. We show that the adaptive LASSO based on the self-weighted composite quantile regression enjoys the oracle properties. Simulation studies and a real data example are conducted to examine the performance of the proposed approaches.     

Modal Regression Based on Nonparametric Quantile Estimator

Modal regression based on nonparametric quantile estimator is given. Unlike the traditional mean and median regression, modal regression uses mode but not mean or median to represent the center of a conditional distribution, which helps the model to be more robust for outliers, asymmetric or heavy-taileddistribution. Most of solutions for modal regression are based on kernel estimation of density. This paper studies a new solution for modal regression by means of nonparametric quantile estimator. This method builds on the fact that the distribution function is the inverse of the quantile function, then the flexibility of nonparametric quantile estimator is utilized to improve the estimation of modal function. The simulations and application show that the new model outperforms the modal regression model via linear quantile function estimation.     

Measures of influence for the functional linear model with scalar response

This paper studies how to identify influential observations in the functional linear model in which the predictor is functional and the response is scalar. Measurement of the effects of a single observation on estimation and prediction when the model is estimated by the principal components method is undertaken. For that, three statistics are introduced for measuring the influence of each observation on estimation and prediction of the functional linear model with scalar response that are generalizations of the measures proposed for the standard regression model by [D.R. Cook, Detection of influential observations in linear regression, Technometrics 19 (1977) 15-18; D. Peña, A new statistic for influence in linear regression, Technometrics 47 (2005) 1-12] respectively. A smoothed bootstrap method is proposed to estimate the quantiles of the influence measures, which allows us to point out which observations have the larger influence on estimation and prediction. The behavior of the three statistics and the quantile estimation bootstrap based method is analyzed via a simulation study. Finally, the practical use of the proposed statistics is illustrated by the analysis of a real data example, which show that the proposed measures are useful for detecting heterogeneity in the functional linear model with scalar response.     

Adaptive estimation of linear functionals in functional linear models

We consider the estimation of the value of a linear functional of the slope parameter in functional linear regression, where scalar responses are modeled in dependence of randomfunctions. In Johannes and Schenk [2010] it has been shown that a plug-in estimator based on dimension reduction and additional thresholding can attain minimax optimal rates of convergence up to a constant. However, this estimation procedure requires an optimal choice of a tuning parameter with regard to certain characteristics of the slope function and the covariance operator associated with the functional regressor. As these are unknown in practice, we investigate a fully data-driven choice of the tuning parameter based on a combination of model selection and Lepski??s method, which is inspired by the recent work of Goldenshluger and Lepski [2011]. The tuning parameter is selected as theminimizer of a stochastic penalized contrast function imitating Lepski??smethod among a random collection of admissible values. We show that this adaptive procedure attains the lower bound for the minimax risk up to a logarithmic factor over a wide range of classes of slope functions and covariance operators. In particular, our theory covers pointwise estimation as well as the estimation of local averages of the slope parameter.     

Local linear regression for functional predictor and scalar response

The aim of this work is to introduce a new nonparametric regression technique in the context of functional covariate and scalar response. We propose a local linear regression estimator and study its asymptotic behaviour. Its finite-sample performance is compared with a Nadayara-Watson type kernel regression estimator and with the linear regression estimator via a Monte Carlo study and the analysis of two real data sets. In all the scenarios considered, the local linear regression estimator performs better than the kernel one, in the sense that the mean squared prediction error is lower.     

Quantile process for left truncated and right censored data

In this paper, we consider the product-limit quantile estimator of an unknown quantile function when the data are subject to random left truncation and right censorship. This is a parallel problem to the estimation of the unknown distribution function by the product-limit estimator under the same model. Simultaneous strong Gaussian approximations of the product-limit process and product-limit quantile process are constructed with rate . A functional law of the iterated logarithm for the maximal deviation of the estimator from the estimand is derived from the construction. Work partially supported by NSC Grant 89-2118-M-259-011.
