Sieve least squares estimator for partial linear models with current status data

Current status data often arise in survival analysis and reliability studies, when a continuous response is reduced to an indicator of whether the response is greater or less than an observed random threshold value. This article considers a partial linear model with current status data. A sieve least squares estimator is proposed to estimate both the regression parameters and the nonparametric function. This paper shows, under some mild condition, that the estimators are strong consistent. Moreover, the parameter estimators are normally distributed, while the nonparametric component achieves the optimal convergence rate. Simulation studies are carried out to investigate the performance of the proposed estimates. For illustration purposes, the method is applied to a real dataset from a study of the calcification of the hydrogel intraocular lenses, a complication of cataract treatment.     

Efficient estimation of seemingly unrelated additive nonparametric regression models

This paper is concerned with the estimating problem of seemingly unrelated (SU) nonparametric additive regression models. A polynomial spline based two-stage efficient approach is proposed to estimate the nonparametric components, which takes both of the additive structure and correlation between equations into account. The asymptotic normality of the derived estimators are establishedi. The authors also show they own some advantages, including they are asymptotically more efficient than those based on only the individual regression equation and have an oracle property, which is the asymptotic distribution of each additive component is the same as it would be if the other components were known with certainty. Some simulation studies are conducted to illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed procedure. Applying the proposed procedure to a real data set is also made.

Estimation of a subset of regression coefficients of interest in a model with non-spherical disturbances

This paper considers the estimation of a subset of regression coefficients in a linear regression model with non-spherical disturbances, when other regression coefficients are of no interest. A family of estimators is considered and its asymptotic distribution is derived. This proposed family of improved estimators is compared with the usual unrestricted FGLS estimator, and dominance conditions are obtained with respect to risk under quadratic loss as well as the Pitman nearness criterion. The results of a numerical simulation are presented to illustrate the risk performance of various estimators.

Local Polynomial-Brunk Estimation in Semi-Parametric Monotone Errors-in-Variables Model with Right-Censored Data

This paper introduces a semi-parametric model with right-censored data and a monotone constraint on the nonparametric part.The authors study the local linear estimators of the parametric coefficients and apply B-spline method to approximate the nonparametric part based on grouped data.The authors obtain the rates of convergence for parametric and nonparametric estimators.Moreover,the authors also prove that the nonparametric estimator is consistent at the boundary.At last,the authors investigate the finite sample performance of the estimation.     

Asymptotics for the distribution function estimators of the errors in semi-parametric regression models

This paper considers the convergence rates for nonparametric estimators of the error distribution in semi-parametric regression models. By establishing some general laws of the iterated logarithm, it shows that the rates of convergence of either the empirical distribution or a smoothed version of the empirical distribution function matches exactly the rates obtained for an independent sample from the error distribution.     

TWO-STAGE ESTIMATION FOR SEEMINGLY UNRELATED NONPARAMETRIC REGRESSION MODELS

This paper is concerned with the estimating problem of seemingly unrelated （SU） non- parametric regression models. The authors propose a new method to estimate the unknown functions, which is an extension of the two-stage procedure in the longitudinal data framework. The authors show the resulted estimators are asymptotically normal and more efficient than those based on only the individual regression equation. Some simulation studies are given in support of the asymptotic results. A real data from an ongoing environmental epidemiologie study are used to illustrate the proposed procedure.     

风险度量半参数变系数复合Expectile回归模型及应用

本文结合半参数变系数回归模型、期望分位数风险价值(EVaR)的思想以及充分利用多个Expectile信息能提高参数估计效率的假设,提出了一类半参数变系数复合Expectile回归模型,并对该模型进行了估计,建立了所提出复合Expectile回归(CER)估计的大样本性质.针对该模型既含有参数部分也含有非参数部分的特征,采用了方便计算的三步估计方法.通过数值模拟也发现,当误差为厚尾或非对称分布时,在均方根误差(RMSE)的标准下,所提出的CER估计大大优于最小二乘(LS)估计和简单的Expectile回归(ER)估计.另外,本文还应用所发展的理论分析了我国货币政策对上证综指的影响.

Estimation in a semi-varying coefficient model for panel data with fixed effects

This paper considers a semi-varying coefficient model for panel data with fixed effects, proposes the profile-likelihood-based estimators for the parametric and nonparametric components, and establishes convergence rates and asymptotic normality properties for both estimators. Simulation results show that the proposed estimators behave well in finite sample cases.     

An Additive-Multiplicative Cox-Aalen Subdistribution Hazard Model for Competing Risks Data

This paper proposes a flexible additive-multiplicative Cox-Aalen hazard model which allows time-varying covariate effects for the subdistribution in a competing risks study. Weighted estimating equation approaches under an covariates-dependent adjusted weight by fitting the Cox proportional hazard model for the censoring distribution are established for inference on the model parametric and nonparametric components. In addition, large number properties are presented and the finite sample behavior of the proposed estimators is evaluated through simulation studies, estimators from the proposed method perform satisfactorily on reduction of the bias. The authors apply our model to a competing risks data set from a tamoxifen trail for breast cancer study.     

A note on the properties of Stein-rule and inequality restricted estimators when the regression model is over-fitted

<正> This paper considers the effect of an erroneous inclusion of regressors on the risk propertiesof the Stein-rule,positive-part Stein-rule and inequality restricted and pre-test estimators in a linearregression model.The two Stein-rule estimators are considered when extraneous information is availablein the form of a set of multiple equality constraints on the coefficients,while the inequality estimatorsare considered under the case of a single inequality constraint.It is shown that the inclusion ofwrong regressors has only minimal effect on the properties of the Stein-rule and positive-part Stein-ruleestimators,and no effect at all on the inequality restricted and pre-test estimators when there is asingle inequality constraint.     

Nonparametric regression under double-sampling designs

This paper studies nonparametric estimation of the regression function with surrogate outcome data under double-sampling designs, where a proxy response is observed for the full sample and the true response is observed on a validation set. A new estimation approach is proposed for estimating the regression function. The authors first estimate the regression function with a kernel smoother based on the validation subsample, and then improve the estimation by utilizing the information on the incomplete observations from the non-validation subsample and the surrogate of response from the full sample. Asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator is derived. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated via simulations.     

Variable Selection of Varying Dispersion Student-t Regression Models

The Student-t regression model is a useful extension of the normal model,which can be used for statistical modeling of data sets involving errors with heavy tails and/or outliers and provides robust estimation of means and regression coefficients.In this paper,the varying dispersion Student-t regression model is discussed,in which both the mean and the dispersion depend upon explanatory variables.The problem of interest is simultaneously select significant variables both in mean and dispersion model.A unified procedure which can simultaneously select significant variable is given.With appropriate selection of the tuning parameters,the consistency and the oracle property of the regularized estimators are established.Both the simulation study and two real data examples are used to illustrate the proposed methodologies.
