A Posteriori Error Estimators of Gradient Recovery Type for Fem of a Model Optimal Control Problem

In this paper, we derive an a posteriori error estimator of gradient recovery type for a model optimal control problem. We show that the a posteriori error estimator is equivalent to the discretization error in a norm of energy type on general meshes. Furthermore, when the solution of the control problem is smooth and the meshes are uniform, it is shown to be asymptotically exact.

r-k Class estimation in regression model with concomitant variables

We treat with the r-k class estimation in a regression model, which includes the ordinary least squares estimator, the ordinary ridge regression estimator and the principal component regression estimator as special cases of the r-k class estimator. Many papers compared total mean square error of these estimators. Sarkar (1989, Ann. Inst. Statist. Math., 41, 717–724) asserts that the results of this comparison are still valid in a misspecified linear model. We point out some confusions of Sarkar and show additional conditions under which his assertion holds.     

Second-order nonlinear least squares estimation

The ordinary least squares estimation is based on minimization of the squared distance of the response variable to its conditional mean given the predictor variable. We extend this method by including in the criterion function the distance of the squared response variable to its second conditional moment. It is shown that this “second-order” least squares estimator is asymptotically more efficient than the ordinary least squares estimator if the third moment of the random error is nonzero, and both estimators have the same asymptotic covariance matrix if the error distribution is symmetric. Simulation studies show that the variance reduction of the new estimator can be as high as 50% for sample sizes lower than 100. As a by-product, the joint asymptotic covariance matrix of the ordinary least squares estimators for the regression parameter and for the random error variance is also derived, which is only available in the literature for very special cases, e.g. that random error has a normal distribution. The results apply to both linear and nonlinear regression models, where the random error distributions are not necessarily known.

Adaptive Unified Biased Estimators of Parameters in Linear Model

To tackle multi collinearity or ill-conditioned design matrices in linear models,adaptive biasedestimators such as the time-honored Stein estimator,the ridge and the principal component estimators havebeen studied intensively.To study when a biased estimator uniformly outperforms the least squares estimator,some sufficient conditions are proposed in the literature.In this paper,we propose a unified framework toformulate a class of adaptive biased estimators.This class includes all existing biased estimators and some newones.A sufficient condition for outperforming the least squares estimator is proposed.In terms of selectingparameters in the condition,we can obtain all double-type conditions in the literature.

We present its some properties and prove that it is superior to LSE （least squares estimator）, principal correlation estimator, ridge and principal correlation estimator under MSE （mean squares error） and PMC （Pitman closeness） criterion, respectively.     

Iterative Weighted Semiparametric Least Squares Estimation in Repeated Measurement Partially Linear Regression Models

Consider a repeated measurement partially linear regression model with an unknown vector parameter β, an unknown function g(.), and unknown heteroscedastic error variances. In order to improve the semiparametric generalized least squares estimator (SGLSE) of β, we propose an iterative weighted semiparametric least squares estimator (IWSLSE) and show that it improves upon the SGLSE in terms of asymptotic covariance matrix. An adaptive procedure is given to determine the number of iterations. We also show that when the number of replicates is less than or equal to two, the IWSLSE can not improve upon the SGLSE. These results are generalizations of those in [2] to the case of semiparametric regressions.     

A stochastic restricted ridge regression estimator

Groß [J. Groß, Restricted ridge estimation, Statistics & Probability Letters 65 (2003) 57–64] proposed a restricted ridge regression estimator when exact restrictions are assumed to hold. When there are stochastic linear restrictions on the parameter vector, we introduce a new estimator by combining ideas underlying the mixed and the ridge regression estimators under the assumption that the errors are not independent and identically distributed. Apart from [J. Groß, Restricted ridge estimation, Statistics & Probability Letters 65 (2003) 57–64], we call this new estimator as the stochastic restricted ridge regression (SRRR) estimator. The performance of the SRRR estimator over the mixed estimator in respect of the variance and the mean square error matrices is examined. We also illustrate our findings with a numerical example. The shrinkage generalized least squares (GLS) and the stochastic restricted shrinkage GLS estimators are proposed.

James-Stein estimators for time series regression models

The least squares (LS) estimator seems the natural estimator of the coefficients of a Gaussian linear regression model. However, if the dimension of the vector of coefficients is greater than 2 and the residuals are independent and identically distributed, this conventional estimator is not admissible. James and Stein [Estimation with quadratic loss, Proceedings of the Fourth Berkely Symposium vol. 1, 1961, pp. 361-379] proposed a shrinkage estimator (James-Stein estimator) which improves the least squares estimator with respect to the mean squares error loss function. In this paper, we investigate the mean squares error of the James-Stein (JS) estimator for the regression coefficients when the residuals are generated from a Gaussian stationary process. Then, sufficient conditions for the JS to improve the LS are given. It is important to know the influence of the dependence on the JS. Also numerical studies illuminate some interesting features of the improvement. The results have potential applications to economics, engineering, and natural sciences.

An adaptive least‐squares mixed finite element method for the Signorini problem

We present and analyze a least squares formulation for contact problems in linear elasticity which employs both, displacements and stresses, as independent variables. As a consequence, we obtain stability and high accuracy of our discretization also in the incompressible limit. Moreover, our formulation gives rise to a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimator. To incorporate the contact constraints, the first‐order system least squares functional is augmented by a contact boundary functional which implements the associated complementarity condition. The bilinear form related to the augmented functional is shown to be coercive and therefore constitutes an upper bound, up to a constant, for the error in displacements and stresses in . This implies the reliability of the functional to be used as an a posteriori error estimator in an adaptive framework. The efficiency of the use of the functional as an a posteriori error estimator is monitored by the local proportion of the boundary functional term with respect to the overall functional. Computational results using standard conforming linear finite elements for the displacement approximation combined with lowest‐order Raviart‐Thomas elements for the stress tensor show the effectiveness of our approach in an adaptive framework for two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional Hertzian contact problems. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BVPs on infinite intervals: A test problem,a nonstandard finite difference scheme and a posteriori error estimator

As far as the numerical solution of boundary value problems defined on an infinite interval is concerned, in this paper, we present a test problem for which the exact solution is known. Then we study an a posteriori estimator for the global error of a nonstandard finite difference scheme previously introduced by the authors. In particular, we show how Richardson extrapolation can be used to improve the numerical solution using the order of accuracy and numerical solutions from 2 nested quasi‐uniform grids. We observe that if the grids are sufficiently fine, the Richardson error estimate gives an upper bound of the global error.

The multivariate least-trimmed squares estimator

In this paper we introduce the least-trimmed squares estimator for multivariate regression. We give three equivalent formulations of the estimator and obtain its breakdown point. A fast algorithm for its computation is proposed. We prove Fisher-consistency at the multivariate regression model with elliptically symmetric error distribution and derive the influence function. Simulations investigate the finite-sample efficiency and robustness of the estimator. To increase the efficiency of the estimator, we also consider a one-step reweighted estimator.
