A note on improving quadratic inference functions using a linear shrinkage approach

In some commonly used longitudinal clinical trials designs, the quadratic inference functions (QIF) method fails to work due to non-invertible estimation of the optimal weighting matrix. We propose a modified QIF method, in which the optimal weighting matrix is estimated by a linear shrinkage estimator, replacing the sample covariance matrix. We prove that the linear shrinkage estimator is consistent and asymptotically optimal under the expected quadratic loss, and will have more stable numerical performance than the sample covariance matrix. Simulations show that numerical improvements are acquired in light of a higher percentage of convergence, and smaller standard errors and mean square errors of parameter estimates.

Genetic algorithm and M-estimator based robust sequential estimation of parameters of nonlinear sinusoidal signals

Estimation of parameters of nonlinear superimposed sinusoidal signals is an important problem in digital signal processing. In this paper, we consider the problem of estimation of parameters of real valued sinusoidal signals. We propose a real-coded genetic algorithm based robust sequential estimation procedure for estimation of signal parameters. The proposed sequential method is based on elitist generational genetic algorithm and robust M-estimation techniques. The method is particularly useful when there is a large number of superimposed sinusoidal components present in the observed signal and is robust with respect to presence of outliers in the data and impulsive heavy tail noise distributions. Simulations studies and real life signal analysis are performed to ascertain the performance of the proposed sequential procedure. It is observed that the proposed methods perform better than the usual non-robust methods of estimation.

In this paper, the semiparametric generalized partially linear models (GPLMs) for longitudinal data is studied. We approximate the nonparametric function in the GPLMs by a regression spline, and use quadratic inference functions (QIF) to take the within-cluster correlation into account without involving direct estimation of nuisance parameters in the correlation matrix. We establish the asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators. The finite sample performance of the proposed methods is evaluated through simulation studies and a real data analysis.     

Effects of measurement error on a class of single-index varying coefficient regression models

This paper investigates the estimation in a class of single-index varying coefficient regression model when some covariates are contaminated with measurement errors. A bias-corrected least square procedure based on the observed data is proposed. By replacing the nonparametric single index part with a local linear approximation, an iterative algorithm for estimating the index parameter is proposed. More importantly, a special case is identified in which the naive procedure provides consistent estimates for the single index parameters. Large sample properties of the proposed estimators are established. The finite sample performance of the proposed estimators are evaluated by simulation studies.

When the background driving Lévy process is of type A or B, we show that the intensity parameter c...     

Covariate-Adjusted Nonparametric Regression for Time Series

The covariate-adjusted regression model was initially proposed for the situations where both the predictors and the response variables are not directly observed, but are distorted by some common observable covariates. In this paper, we investigate a covariate-adjusted nonparametric regression (CANR) model and consider the proposed model on time series setting. We develop a two-step estimation procedure to estimate the regression function. The asymptotic property of the proposed estimation is investigated under the -mixing conditions. Both the real data and simulated examples are provided for illustration.     

Efficient parameter estimation via modified Cholesky decomposition for quantile regression with longitudinal data

It is well known that specifying a covariance matrix is difficult in the quantile regression with longitudinal data. This paper develops a two step estimation procedure to improve estimation efficiency based on the modified Cholesky decomposition. Specifically, in the first step, we obtain the initial estimators of regression coefficients by ignoring the possible correlations between repeated measures. Then, we apply the modified Cholesky decomposition to construct the covariance models and obtain the estimator of within-subject covariance matrix. In the second step, we construct unbiased estimating functions to obtain more efficient estimators of regression coefficients. However, the proposed estimating functions are discrete and non-convex. We utilize the induced smoothing method to achieve the fast and accurate estimates of parameters and their asymptotic covariance. Under some regularity conditions, we establish the asymptotically normal distributions for the resulting estimators. Simulation studies and the longitudinal progesterone data analysis show that the proposed approach yields highly efficient estimators.     

Finding an inner estimation of the solution set of a fuzzy linear system

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding an inner estimation of the solution set of a fuzzy linear system with a real-valued coefficient matrix and a fuzzy-valued right-hand side vector. The proposed idea is based on the utilization of interval Gaussian elimination procedure to produce an inner estimation of the solutions set. To this end, firstly we apply interval Gaussian elimination procedure to obtain the solution set of a fuzzy linear system and secondly, by limiting it via solving a crisp linear system, we find an inner estimation of the solutions set, such that it satisfies the related fuzzy linear system. Finally, several numerical examples are given to show the efficiency and ability of our method.
