In this article,the Bayes linear unbiased estimator (BALUE) of parameters is derived for the multivariate linear models.The superiorities of the BALUE over the least square estimator (LSE) is studied in terms of the mean square error matrix (MSEM) criterion and Bayesian Pitman closeness (PC) criterion.

两个半相依模型回归系数的改进估计

对于两个半相依回归系统的未知回归系数,本文首先借鉴文献中给出的两步协方差改进估计的方法给出两种两步协方差改进估计序列,并给出其与两步估计等价的条件和均方误差意义下的优良性; 其次,我们对文献中给出的一种两步估计作简单改进,使得改进后的估计在更大的参数空间内优于最小二乘估计. 再次,本文另辟蹊径, 构造了一种新的估计,同样地,此估计也具有更好的小样本性质.本文最后一节讨论了Pitman准则下两步估计的优良性.     

Adaptive Fourier tester for statistical estimation

Based on Takenaka–Malmquist (TM) system, a new nonparametric estimator for probability density function is proposed. The TM estimation method is completely different from the existent density estimation methods in that the estimator depends on an approximate system with poles in a complex plane. Compared with the classic Fourier estimator, the TM estimator will offer more flexibility and adaptivity for real data due to the poles and nonlinearity of the phase of TM system. We compare the TM estimator with kernel, wavelet, and spline estimators by simulations. It shows that the introduced TM estimator is a more promising method than the existing and commonly used methods. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

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.

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.

Inference for ordered parameters in multinomial distributions

This paper discusses inference for ordered parameters of multinomial distributions. We first show that the asymptotic distributions of their maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are not always normal and the bootstrap distribution estimators of the MLEs can be inconsistent. Then a class of weighted sum estimators (WSEs) of the ordered parameters is proposed. Properties of the WSEs are studied, including their asymptotic normality. Based on those results, large sample inferences for smooth functions of the ordered parameters can be made. Especially, the confidence intervals of the maximum cell probabilities are constructed. Simulation results indicate that this interval estimation performs much better than the bootstrap approaches in the literature. Finally, the above results for ordered parameters of multinomial distributions are extended to more general distribution models.

Asymptotically optimal estimation in the linear regression problem in the case of violation of some classical assumptions

We consider the problem of estimating the unknown parameters of linear regression in the case when the variances of observations depend on the unknown parameters of the model. A two-step method is suggested for constructing asymptotically linear estimators. Some general sufficient conditions for the asymptotic normality of the estimators are found, and an explicit form is established of the best asymptotically linear estimators. The behavior of the estimators is studied in detail in the case when the parameter of the regression model is one-dimensional.
