In this paper we aim to construct adaptive confidence region for the direction of ξ in semiparametric models of the form Y=G(ξTX,ε) where G(⋅) is an unknown link function, ε is an independent error, and ξ is a pn×1 vector. To recover the direction of ξ, we first propose an inverse regression approach regardless of the link function G(⋅); to construct a data-driven confidence region for the direction of ξ, we implement the empirical likelihood method. Unlike many existing literature, we need not estimate the link function G(⋅) or its derivative. When pn remains fixed, the empirical likelihood ratio without bias correlation can be asymptotically standard chi-square. Moreover, the asymptotic normality of the empirical likelihood ratio holds true even when the dimension pn follows the rate of pn=o(n1/4) where n is the sample size. Simulation studies are carried out to assess the performance of our proposal, and a real data set is analyzed for further illustration.  相似文献

A spin model (for link invariants) is a square matrix W which satisfies certain axioms. For a spin model W, it is known that W T W ?1 is a permutation matrix, and its order is called the index of W. Jaeger and Nomura found spin models of index?2, by modifying the construction of symmetric spin models from Hadamard matrices. The aim of this paper is to give a construction of spin models of an arbitrary even index from any Hadamard matrix. In particular, we show that our spin models of indices a power of 2 are new.  相似文献

In this paper, a new adaptive nodes technique based on equi-distribution principles and dimension reduction is presented for irregular regions in three dimensional cases. The mesh generation is performed by first producing some adaptive nodes in a cube based on equi-distribution along the coordinate axes and then transforming the generated nodes to the physical domain followed by a refinement process. The mesh points produced are appropriate for meshless-type methods which need only some scattered points rather than a mesh with some smoothness properties. The effectiveness of the generated mesh points is examined by a collocation meshless method using a well known radial basis function, namely ?(r)?=?r 5 which is sufficiently smooth for our purpose. Some experimental results will be presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.  相似文献

We consider a Markovian dynamic programming model in which the transition probabilities depend on an unknown parameterθ. We estimate the unknownθ and adapt the control action to the estimated value. Bounds are given for the expected regret loss under this adaptive procedure, i.e. for the loss caused by using the adaptive procedure instead of an (unknown) optimal one. We assume that the dependence of the model onθ is Lipschitz continuous. The bounds depend on the expected estimation error. When confidence intervals forθ with fixed width are available, we obtain bounds for the expected regret loss that hold uniformly inθ.  相似文献

This paper mainly introduces the method of empirical likelihood and its applications on two different models. We discuss the empirical likelihood inference on fixed-effect parameter in mixed-effects model with error-in-variables. We first consider a linear mixed-effects model with measurement errors in both fixed and random effects. We construct the empirical likelihood confidence regions for the fixed-effects parameters and the mean parameters of random-effects. The limiting distribution of the empirical log likelihood ratio at the true parameter is X2p+q, where p, q are dimension of fixed and random effects respectively. Then we discuss empirical likelihood inference in a semi-linear error-in-variable mixed-effects model. Under certain conditions, it is shown that the empirical log likelihood ratio at the true parameter also converges to X2p+q. Simulations illustrate that the proposed confidence region has a coverage probability more closer to the nominal level than normal approximation based confidence region.  相似文献

In DeVore et al. (2011) [7] we considered smooth functions on [0,1]N which depend on a much smaller number of variables ? or continuous functions which can be approximated by such functions. We were interested in approximating those functions when we can calculate point values at points of our choice. The number of points we needed for non-adaptive algorithms was higher than that in the adaptive case. In this paper we improve on DeVore et al. (2011) [7] and show that in the non-adaptive case one can use the same number of points (up to a multiplicative constant depending on ?) that we need in the adaptive case.  相似文献

In this paper, we discuss the construction of the confidence intervals for the regression vector β in a linear model under negatively associated errors. It is shown that the blockwise empirical likelihood (EL) ratio statistic for β is asymptotically χ2-type distributed. The result is used to obtain an EL based confidence region for β.  相似文献

We consider the problem of setting bootstrap confidence regions for multivariate parameters based on data depth functions. We prove, under mild regularity conditions, that depth-based bootstrap confidence regions are second-order accurate in the sense that their coverage error is of order n−1, given a random sample of size n. The results hold in general for depth functions of types A and D, which cover as special cases the Tukey depth, the majority depth, and the simplicial depth. A simulation study is also provided to investigate empirically the bootstrap confidence regions constructed using these three depth functions.  相似文献

The problem of constructing confidence intervals of a fixed length for the location parameter based on a random size sample is considered. It is proposed to use the confidence interval $$\theta _p^* - u\sqrt p /\sigma< \theta< \theta _p^* + u\sqrt p /\sigma $$ , whereθ p * is an adaptive estimator,σ 2 is the Fisher information, and p?1 is the mean of the sample size. Nonparametric bounds are given for the limit as p → 0 confidence probability. Bibliography: 5 titles.  相似文献

Cohen and Sackrowitz [Characterization of Bayes procedures for multiple endpoint problems and inadmissibility of the step-up procedure, Ann. Statist. 33 (2005) 145-158] proved that the step-up multiple testing procedure is inadmissible for a multivariate normal model with unknown mean vector and known intraclass covariance matrix. The hypotheses tested are each mean is zero vs. each mean is positive. The risk function is a 2×1 vector where one component is average size and the other component is one minus average power. In this paper, we extend the inadmissibility result to several different models, to two-sided alternatives, and to other risk functions. The models include one-parameter exponential families, independent t-variables, independent χ2-variables, t-tests arising from the analysis of variance, and t-tests arising from testing treatments against a control. The additional risk functions are linear combinations where one component is the false discovery rate (FDR).  相似文献

In this paper we use profile empirical likelihood to construct confidence regions for regression coefficients in partially linear model with longitudinal data. The main contribution is that the within-subject correlation is considered to improve estimation efficiency. We suppose a semi-parametric structure for the covariances of observation errors in each subject and employ both the first order and the second order moment conditions of the observation errors to construct the estimating equations. Although there are nonparametric estimators, the empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic still tends to a standard ?? p 2 variable in distribution after the nuisance parameters are profiled away. A data simulation is also conducted.  相似文献

In this paper we study the one-way multiparty communication model, in which every party speaks exactly once in its turn. For every k, we prove a tight lower bound of Ω(n 1/(k?1)}) on the probabilistic communication complexity of pointer jumping in a k-layered tree, where the pointers of the i-th layer reside on the forehead of the i-th party to speak. The lower bound remains nontrivial even for k = (logn)1/2?? parties, for any constant ? > 0. Previous to our work a lower bound was known only for k =3 (Wigderson, see [7]), and in restricted models for k>3 [2},24,18,4,13]. Our results have the following consequences to other models and problems, extending previous work in several directions. The one-way model is strong enough to capture general (not one-way) multiparty protocols with a bounded number of rounds. Thus we generalize two problem areas previously studied in the 2-party model (cf. [30,21,29]). The first is a rounds hierarchy: we give an exponential separation between the power of r and 2r rounds in general probabilistic k-party protocols, for any k and r. The second is the relative power of determinism and nondeterminism: we prove an exponential separation between nondeterministic and deterministic communication complexity for general k-party protocols with r rounds, for any k,r. The pointer jumping function is weak enough to be a special case of the well-studied disjointness function. Thus we obtain a lower bound of Ω(n 1/(k?1)) on the probabilistic complexity of k-set disjointness in the one-way model, which was known only for k = 3 parties. Our result also extends a similar lower bound for the weaker simultaneous model, in which parties simultaneously send one message to a referee [12]. Finally, we infer an exponential separation between the power of any two different orders in which parties send messages in the one-way model, for every k. Previous results [29, 7] separated orders based on who speaks first. Our lower bound technique, which handles functions of high discrepancy over cylinder intersections, provides a “party-elimination” induction, based on a restricted form of a direct-product result, specific to the pointer jumping function.  相似文献

We study methods to simulate term structures in order to measure interest rate risk more accurately. We use principal component analysis of term structure innovations to identify risk factors and we model their univariate distribution using GARCH-models with Student’s t-distributions in order to handle heteroscedasticity and fat tails. We find that the Student’s t-copula is most suitable to model co-dependence of these univariate risk factors. We aim to develop a model that provides low ex-ante risk measures, while having accurate representations of the ex-post realized risk. By utilizing a more accurate term structure estimation method, our proposed model is less sensitive to measurement noise compared to traditional models. We perform an out-of-sample test for the U.S. market between 2002 and 2017 by valuing a portfolio consisting of interest rate derivatives. We find that ex-ante Value at Risk measurements can be substantially reduced for all confidence levels above 95%, compared to the traditional models. We find that that the realized portfolio tail losses accurately conform to the ex-ante measurement for daily returns, while traditional methods overestimate, or in some cases even underestimate the risk ex-post. Due to noise inherent in the term structure measurements, we find that all models overestimate the risk for 10-day and quarterly returns, but that our proposed model provides the by far lowest Value at Risk measures.

Recent advances in the transformation model have made it possible to use this model for analyzing a variety of censored survival data. For inference on the regression parameters, there are semiparametric procedures based on the normal approximation. However, the accuracy of such procedures can be quite low when the censoring rate is heavy. In this paper, we apply an empirical likelihood ratio method and derive its limiting distribution via U-statistics. We obtain confidence regions for the regression parameters and compare the proposed method with the normal approximation based method in terms of coverage probability. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed empirical likelihood method overcomes the under-coverage problem substantially and outperforms the normal approximation based method. The proposed method is illustrated with a real data example. Finally, our method can be applied to general U-statistic type estimating equations.  相似文献

In this paper, a vector total fractional-order variation (VTV-β) is proposed. Then, VTV-β model and Gβ(Ω) model are proposed for color image denoising and decomposition, respectively. Some properties of the VTV-β are investigated and an alternative algorithm is used to solve the two models. Some experimental results are given to show the effectiveness and advantages of our methods.  相似文献

We consider the asymptotic variance of vacancy (AVV) in the high intensity small-grain Boolean model. Subjecting the grains to rotations or, more generally, linear distortions gives rise to a function which maps distortion distributions to the AVV of the corresponding Boolean model. We mainly study continuity properties of this function, where we use the L1 Wasserstein metric on distortion distributions. An important role in the formulation and derivation of our results is played by notions of symmetry commonly used in multivariate analysis and stochastic simulation, such as conjugation-invariance and group models.  相似文献

In this paper we aim to estimate the direction in general single-index models and to select important variables simultaneously when a diverging number of predictors are involved in regressions. Towards this end, we propose the nonconcave penalized inverse regression method. Specifically, the resulting estimation with the SCAD penalty enjoys an oracle property in semi-parametric models even when the dimension, pn, of predictors goes to infinity. Under regularity conditions we also achieve the asymptotic normality when the dimension of predictor vector goes to infinity at the rate of pn=o(n1/3) where n is sample size, which enables us to construct confidence interval/region for the estimated index. The asymptotic results are augmented by simulations, and illustrated by analysis of an air pollution dataset.  相似文献

In this paper, we use an empirical likelihood method to construct confidence regions for the stationary ARMA(p,q) models with infinite variance. An empirical log-likelihood ratio is derived by the estimating equation of the self-weighted LAD estimator. It is proved that the proposed statistic has an asymptotic standard chi-squared distribution. Simulation studies show that in a small sample case, the performance of empirical likelihood method is better than that of normal approximation of the LAD estimator in terms of the coverage accuracy.  相似文献
