Testing for Correlation Coefficients in Uniform Correlation Longitudinal Mixed Effect Linear Models Based on M-estimation

In this paper, the Fisher scoring method is applied to get M-estimator (robust estimator) in the mixed effects linear model for longitudinal data. The score tests for correlation coefficients in the model with uniform correlation covariance structure based on M-estimator are also studied. Then the properties of test statistics are investigated through Monte Carlo simulations. At last, the methods and properties are illustrated by the grape sugar data example.     

M-estimation for periodic GARCH model with high-frequency data

This paper studies an M-estimator of a proxy periodic GARCH (p, q) scaling model and establishes its consistency and asymptotic normality. Simulation studies are carried out to assess the performance of the estimator. The numerical results show that our M-estimator is more efficient and robust than other estimators without the use of high-frequency data.     

Symmetrised M-estimators of multivariate scatter

In this paper we introduce a family of symmetrised M-estimators of multivariate scatter. These are defined to be M-estimators only computed on pairwise differences of the observed multivariate data. Symmetrised Huber's M-estimator and Dümbgen's estimator serve as our examples. The influence functions of the symmetrised M-functionals are derived and the limiting distributions of the estimators are discussed in the multivariate elliptical case to consider the robustness and efficiency properties of estimators. The symmetrised M-estimators have the important independence property; they can therefore be used to find the independent components in the independent component analysis (ICA).

Regularized Estimation of Piecewise Constant Gaussian Graphical Models: The Group-Fused Graphical Lasso

The time-evolving precision matrix of a piecewise-constant Gaussian graphical model encodes the dynamic conditional dependency structure of a multivariate time-series. Traditionally, graphical models are estimated under the assumption that data are drawn identically from a generating distribution. Introducing sparsity and sparse-difference inducing priors, we relax these assumptions and propose a novel regularized M-estimator to jointly estimate both the graph and changepoint structure. The resulting estimator possesses the ability to therefore favor sparse dependency structures and/or smoothly evolving graph structures, as required. Moreover, our approach extends current methods to allow estimation of changepoints that are grouped across multiple dependencies in a system. An efficient algorithm for estimating structure is proposed. We study the empirical recovery properties in a synthetic setting. The qualitative effect of grouped changepoint estimation is then demonstrated by applying the method on a genetic time-course dataset. Supplementary material for this article is available online.

Sieve M-estimator for a semi-functional linear model

We propose sieve M-estimator for a semi-functional linear model in which the scalar response is explained by a linear operator of functional predictor and smooth functions of some real-valued random variables.Spline estimators of the functional coefficient and the smooth functions are considered,and by selecting appropriate knot numbers the optimal convergence rate and the asymptotic normality can be obtained under some mild conditions.Some simulation results and a real data example are presented to illustrate the performance of our estimation method.     

One-step jackknife for M-estimators computed using Newton's method

To estimate the dispersion of an M-estimator computed using Newton's iterative method, the jackknife method usually requires to repeat the iterative process n times, where n is the sample size. To simplify the computation, one-step jackknife estimators, which require no iteration, are proposed in this paper. Asymptotic properties of the one-step jackknife estimators are obtained under some regularity conditions in the i.i.d. case and in a linear or nonlinear model. All the one-step jackknife estimators are shown to be asymptotically equivalent and they are also asymptotically equivalent to the original jackknife estimator. Hence one may use a dispersion estimator whose computation is the simplest. Finite sample properties of several one-step jackknife estimators are examined in a simulation study.The research was supported by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.     

The k-step spatial sign covariance matrix

The Sign Covariance Matrix is an orthogonal equivariant estimator of multivariate scale. It is often used as an easy-to-compute and highly robust estimator. In this paper we propose a k-step version of the Sign Covariance Matrix, which improves its efficiency while keeping the maximal breakdown point. If k tends to infinity, Tyler’s M-estimator is obtained. It turns out that even for very low values of k, one gets almost the same efficiency as Tyler’s M-estimator.
