Asymptotic Normality of a Combined Regression Estimator

In this paper, we propose a combined regression estimator by using a parametric estimator and a nonparametric estimator of the regression function. The asymptotic distribution of this estimator is obtained for cases where the parametric regression model is correct, incorrect, and approximately correct. These distributional results imply that the combined estimator is superior to the kernel estimator in the sense that it can never do worse than the kernel estimator in terms of convergence rate and it has the same convergence rate as the parametric estimator in the case where the parametric model is correct. Unlike the parametric estimator, the combined estimator is robust to model misspecification. In addition, we also establish the asymptotic distribution of the estimator of the weight given to the parametric estimator in constructing the combined estimator. This can be used to construct consistent tests for the parametric regression model used to form the combined estimator.     

Nonparametric estimation of multivariate density with direct and auxiliary data and application

We consider the problem of multivariate density estimation, using samples from the distribution of interest as well as auxiliary samples from a related distribution. We assume that the data from the target distribution and the related distribution may occur individually as well as in pairs. Using nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of the joint distribution, we derive a kernel density estimator of the marginal density. We show theoretically, in a simple special case, that the implied estimator of the marginal density has smaller integrated mean squared error than that of a similar estimator obtained by ignoring dependence of the paired observations. We establish consistency of the marginal density estimator under suitable conditions. We demonstrate small sample superiority of the proposed estimator over the estimator that ignores dependence of the samples, through a simulation study with dependent and non-normal populations. The application of the density estimator in nonparametric classification is also discussed. It is shown that the misclassification probability of the resulting classifier is asymptotically equivalent to that of the Bayes classifier. We also include a data analytic illustration.     

An efficient estimator for the expectation of a bounded function under the residual distribution of an autoregressive process

Consider a stationary first-order autoregressive process, with i.i.d. residuals following an unknown mean zero distribution. The customary estimator for the expectation of a bounded function under the residual distribution is the empirical estimator based on the estimated residuals. We show that this estimator is not efficient, and construct a simple efficient estimator. It is adaptive with respect to the autoregression parameter.     

Asymptotic theory of simultaneous estimation of Poisson means

The Poisson distribution is often a good approximation to the underlying sampling distribution and is central to the study of categorical data. In this paper, we propose a new unified approach to an investigation of point properties of simultaneous estimations of Poisson population parameters with general quadratic loss functions. The main accent is made on the shrinkage estimation. We build a series of estimators that could be represented as a convex combination of linear statistics such as maximum likelihood estimator (benchmark estimator), restricted estimator, composite estimator, preliminary test estimator, shrinkage estimator, positive rule shrinkage estimator (James-Stein type estimator). All these estimators are represented in a general integrated estimation approach, which allows us to unify our investigation and order them with respect to the risk. A simulation study with numerical and graphical results is conducted to illustrate the properties of the investigated estimators.

The distribution of a generalized least squares estimator with covariance adjustment

The distribution theory is developed for a generalized least squares estimator of the growth curve model. A special case of the estimator is the maximum likelihood estimator which is weighted by the sample covariance matrix. The distribution of two conditional forms of the estimator are derived and from these its density is obtained. Two general pivots and their distributions are derived from the conditional forms and special cases of these are investigated. The results obtained are linked to carlier work.     

Asymptotic properties of conditional maximum likelihood estimator in a certain exponential model

The conditional maximum likelihood estimator is suggested as an alternative to the maximum likelihood estimator and is favorable for an estimator of a dispersion parameter in the normal distribution, the inverse-Gaussian distribution, and so on. However, it is not clear whether the conditional maximum likelihood estimator is asymptotically efficient in general. Consider the case where it is asymptotically efficient and its asymptotic covariance depends only on an objective parameter in an exponential model. This remand implies that the exponential model possesses a certain parallel foliation. In this situation, this paper investigates asymptotic properties of the conditional maximum likelihood estimator and compares the conditional maximum likelihood estimator with the maximum likelihood estimator. We see that the bias of the former is more robust than that of the latter and that two estimators are very close, especially in the sense of bias-corrected version. The mean Pythagorean relation is also discussed.     

M-estimation in nonparametric regression under strong dependence and infinite variance

A robust local linear regression smoothing estimator for a nonparametric regression model with heavy-tailed dependent errors is considered in this paper. Under certain regularity conditions, the weak consistency and asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimators are obtained. If the errors are short-range dependent, then the limiting distribution of the estimator is normal. If the data are long-range dependent, then the limiting distribution of the estimator is a stable distribution.     

A Berry-Esséen Bound for the Product-Limit Estimator under Left-Truncation and Right-Censoring

For left-truncated and right-censored data, the product-limit estimator F?_xis a well-known nonparametric estimator for the distribution function F_x of the target variable X such as the survival time. Since F?_xas a very complicated product form we establish first the Berry-Esseen bound for the cumulative hazard estimator of F_x The cumulative hazard estimator can be represented as a U-statistic. By using the result in Helmers and van Zwet [6], we derive the Berry-esséen bound for this U-statistic. Then Berry-Esseen bounds for the distribution of the cumulative hazard estimator and the normal distribution and the distribution of the product-limit estimator and the normal distribution are obtained.     

ARCH(0,1)系数中位无偏估计分布的渐近展开(英文)

This paper is concerned with the distributional properties of a median unbiased estimator of ARCH(0,1)coefficient.The exact distribution of the estimator can be easily derived,however its practical calculations are too heavy to implement, even though the middle range of sample sizes.Since the estimator is shown to have asymptotic normality,asymptotic expansions for the distribution and the percentiles of the estimator are derived as the refinements.Accuracies of expansion formulas are evaluated numerically,and the results of which show that we can effectively use the expansion as a fine approximation of the distribution with rapid calculations.Derived expansion are applied to testing hypothesis of stationarity,and an implementation for a real data set is illustrated.
