Abstract: | A sequential procedure is proposed for constructing a fixed-size confidence region for the parameters of a linear regression model. The procedure is based on certain regression analogues of trimmed means, as formulated by Welsh (1987,Ann. Statist.,15, 20–36), rather than least squares estimates. For error distributions with continuous, symmetric density and some moment higher than fourth finite, if the design points of the model are bounded, then the procedure is both asymptotically consistent and asymptotically efficient as the size of the region approaches zero.Research supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grants DMS 85-03321 and 88-02556 and by the Air Force under Grant AFOSR-87-0041. |
