Post‐transformation of PLS2 (ptPLS2) by orthogonal matrix: a new approach for generating predictive and orthogonal latent variables

Partial Least Squares (PLS) is a wide class of regression methods aiming at modelling relationships between sets of observed variables by means of latent variables. Specifically, PLS2 was developed to correlate two blocks of data, the X‐block representing the independent or explanatory variables and the Y‐block representing the dependent or response variables. Lately, OPLS was introduced to further reduce model complexity by removing Y‐orthogonal sources of variation from X in the latent space, thus improving data interpretation through the generated predictive latent variables. Nevertheless, relationships between PLS2 and OPLS in case of multiple Y‐response have not yet been fully explored. With this perspective and taking inspiration from some basic mathematical properties of PLS2, we here present a novel and general approach consisting in a post‐transformation of PLS2 (ptPLS2), which results in a decomposition of the latent space into orthogonal and predictive components, while preserving the same goodness of fit and predictive ability of PLS2. Additionally, we discuss the application of ptPLS2 approach to two metabolomic data sets extracted from earlier published studies and its advantages in model interpretation as compared with the ‘standard’ PLS approach.

基于轮换样本连续性调查的校准组合估计方法研究

校准估计是抽样调查中比较常用的一种利用辅助信息提高估计量精度的方法。回归组合估计量作为轮换样本连续性调查中使用的一种有效的估计量,是可以通过校准程序得到的。基于回归组合估计量和校准程序之间的关系,本文提出了轮换样本连续性抽样调查条件下的不同校准组合估计量及其方差估计。校准组合估计量的主要思想是在校准估计程序中将拼配样本和非拼配样本的辅助信息进行不同的组合利用。本文利用美国现时人口调查的微观数据进行数值模拟,来比较不同校准组合估计量的估计效率,模拟结果表明两步校准组合估计量和两步校准双组合估计量的表现相似,且估计精度都高于H-T估计量及回归组合估计量;而两步校准组合估计量由于其简便性更适合应用于实践中。最后以我国农村住户连续性抽样调查为例,设计一套符合我国实际的轮换样本连续性调查方案,并将提出的校准组合估计量运用于估计阶段,为中国政府统计调查提供一定的借鉴和参考.

Stahel-Donoho kernel estimation for fixed design nonparametric regression models

This paper reports a robust kernel estimation for fixed design nonparametric regression models. A Stahel-Donoho kernel estimation is introduced, in which the weight functions depend on both the depths of data and the distances between the design points and the estimation points. Based on a local approximation, a computational technique is given to approximate to the incomputable depths of the errors. As a result the new estimator is computationally efficient. The proposed estimator attains a high breakdown point and has perfect asymptotic behaviors such as the asymptotic normality and convergence in the mean squared error. Unlike the depth-weighted estimator for parametric regression models, this depth-weighted nonparametric estimator has a simple variance structure and then we can compare its efficiency with the original one. Some simulations show that the new method can smooth the regression estimation and achieve some desirable balances between robustness and efficiency.
