This paper studies estimation in functional partial linear composite quantile regression model in which the dependent variable is related to both a function-valued random variable in linear form and a real-valued random variable in nonparametric form. The functional principal component analysis and regression splines are employed to estimate the slope function and the nonparametric function respectively, and the convergence rates of the estimators are obtained under some regularity conditions. Simulation studies and a real data example are presented for illustration of the performance of the proposed estimators.     

Variable selection for the partial linear single-index model

In this paper, we consider the issue of variable selection in partial linear single-index models under the assumption that the vector of regression coefficients is sparse. We apply penalized spline to estimate the nonparametric function and SCAD penalty to achieve sparse estimates of regression parameters in both the linear and single-index parts of the model. Under some mild conditions, it is shown that the penalized estimators have oracle property, in the sense that it is asymptotically normal with the same mean and covariance that they would have if zero coefficients are known in advance. Our model owns a least square representation, therefore standard least square programming algorithms can be implemented without extra programming efforts. In the meantime, parametric estimation, variable selection and nonparametric estimation can be realized in one step, which incredibly increases computational stability. The finite sample performance of the penalized estimators is evaluated through Monte Carlo studies and illustrated with a real data set.     

Smoothing combined generalized estimating equations in quantile partially linear additive models with longitudinal data

This paper develops a robust and efficient estimation procedure for quantile partially linear additive models with longitudinal data, where the nonparametric components are approximated by B spline basis functions. The proposed approach can incorporate the correlation structure between repeated measures to improve estimation efficiency. Moreover, the new method is empirically shown to be much more efficient and robust than the popular generalized estimating equations method for non-normal correlated random errors. However, the proposed estimating functions are non-smooth and non-convex. In order to reduce computational burdens, we apply the induced smoothing method for fast and accurate computation of the parameter estimates and its asymptotic covariance. Under some regularity conditions, we establish the asymptotically normal distribution of the estimators for the parametric components and the convergence rate of the estimators for the nonparametric functions. Furthermore, a variable selection procedure based on smooth-threshold estimating equations is developed to simultaneously identify non-zero parametric and nonparametric components. Finally, simulation studies have been conducted to evaluate the finite sample performance of the proposed method, and a real data example is analyzed to illustrate the application of the proposed method.     

半参数线性混合效应模型的联合变量选择

多数基于线性混合效应模型的变量选择方法分阶段对固定效应和随机效应进行选择,方法繁琐、易产生模型偏差,且大部分非参数和半参数的线性混合效应模型只涉及非参数部分的光滑度或者固定效应的选择,并未涉及非参变量或随机效应的选择。本文用B样条函数逼近非参数函数部分,从而把半参数线性混合效应模型转化为带逼近误差的线性混合效应模型。对随机效应的协方差矩阵采用改进的乔里斯基分解并重新参数化线性混合效应模型,接着对该模型的极大似然函数施加集群ALASSO惩罚和ALASSO惩罚两类惩罚,该法能实现非参数变量、固定效应和随机效应的联合变量选择,基于该法得出的估计量也满足相合性、稀疏性和Oracle性质。文章最后做了个数值模拟,模拟结果表明,本文提出的估计方法在变量选择的准确性、参数估计的精度两个方面均表现较好。     

Variable selection for semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear models with missing response at random

In this paper, we present a variable selection procedure by combining basis function approximations with penalized estimating equations for semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear models with missing response at random. The proposed procedure simultaneously selects significant variables in parametric components and nonparametric components. With appropriate selection of the tuning parameters, we establish the consistency of the variable selection procedure and the convergence rate of the regularized estimators. A simulation study is undertaken to assess the finite sample performance of the proposed variable selection procedure.

Estimation in partially linear models with missing responses at random

A partially linear model is considered when the responses are missing at random. Imputation, semiparametric regression surrogate and inverse marginal probability weighted approaches are developed to estimate the regression coefficients and the nonparametric function, respectively. All the proposed estimators for the regression coefficients are shown to be asymptotically normal, and the estimators for the nonparametric function are proved to converge at an optimal rate. A simulation study is conducted to compare the finite sample behavior of the proposed estimators.

Asymptotic properties of wavelet estimators in partially linear errors-in-variables models with long-memory errors

While the random errors are a function of Gaussian random variables that are stationary and long dependent, we investigate a partially linear errors-in-variables (EV) model by the wavelet method. Under general conditions, we obtain asymptotic representation of the parametric estimator, and asymptotic distributions and weak convergence rates of the parametric and nonparametric estimators. At last, the validity of the wavelet method is illuminated by a simulation example and a real example.     

Semiparametric estimation of average treatment effect through a random coefficient dummy endogenous variable model

This paper provides an estimation procedure for average treatment effect through a random coefficient dummy endogenous variable model. A leading example of the model is estimating the effect of a training program on earnings. The model is composed of two equations: an outcome equation and a decision equation. Given the linear restriction in outcome and decision equations, Chen (1999) provided a distribution-free estimation procedure under conditional symmetric error distributions. In this paper we extend Chen’s estimator by relaxing the linear index into a nonparametric function, which greatly reduces the risk of model misspecification. A two-step approach is proposed: the first step uses a nonparametric regression estimator for the decision variable, and the second step uses an instrumental variables approach to estimate average treatment effect in the outcome equation. The proposed estimator is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. Furthermore, we investigate the finite performance of our estimator by a Monte Carlo study and also use our estimator to study the return of college education in different periods of China. The estimates seem more reasonable than those of other commonly used estimators.     

Spline-based sieve maximum likelihood estimation in the partly linear model under monotonicity constraints

We study a spline-based likelihood method for the partly linear model with monotonicity constraints. We use monotone B-splines to approximate the monotone nonparametric function and apply the generalized Rosen algorithm to compute the estimators jointly. We show that the spline estimator of the nonparametric component achieves the possible optimal rate of convergence under the smooth assumption and that the estimator of the regression parameter is asymptotically normal and efficient. Moreover, a spline-based semiparametric likelihood ratio test is established to make inference of the regression parameter. Also an observed profile information method to consistently estimate the standard error of the spline estimator of the regression parameter is proposed. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the finite sample performance of the proposed method. The method is illustrated by an air pollution study.

Properties of nonparametric estimators of autocovariance for stationary random fields

Summary We introduce nonparametric estimators of the autocovariance of a stationary random field. One of our estimators has the property that it is itself an autocovatiance. This feature enables the estimator to be used as the basis of simulation studies such as those which are necessary when constructing bootstrap confidence intervals for unknown parameters. Unlike estimators proposed recently by other authors, our own do not require assumptions such as isotropy or monotonicity. Indeed, like nonparametric function estimators considered more widely in the context of curve estimation, our approach demands only smoothness and tail conditions on the underlying curve or surface (here, the autocovariance), and moment and mixing conditions on the random field. We show that by imposing the condition that the estimator be a covariance function we actually reduce the numerical value of integrated squared error.
