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.     

Profile Statistical Inference for Partially Linear Additive Models with a Diverging Number of Parameters

This paper considers partially linear additive models with the number of parameters diverging when some linear constraints on the parametric part are available. This paper proposes a constrained profile least-squares estimation for the parametric components with the nonparametric functions being estimated by basis function approximations. The consistency and asymptotic normality of the restricted estimator are given under some certain conditions. The authors construct a profile likelihood ratio test statistic to test the validity of the linear constraints on the parametric components,and demonstrate that it follows asymptotically chi-squared distribution under the null and alternative hypotheses. The finite sample performance of the proposed method is illustrated by simulation studies and a data analysis.     

SEMIPARAMETRIC MODEL SELECTION IN LARGE SAMPLES

1 IntroductionThere are obvious reasons for the popularity of linear regression among which are illter-pretation and simplicity in computation. But this does not mean that a llnear relationship isalways sufficient. In some aPpllcations, the mean is linearly related to some variables but therelation to additiona1 variables are not easily parameterized. Partly linear models become thenatural choices in such aPplicationst the linear model is drinimally altered to allow one or a fewof the indepen…     

Generalized F-test for high dimensional regression coefficients of partially linear models

This paper proposes a test procedure for testing the regression coefficients in high dimensional partially linear models based on the F-statistic. In the partially linear model, the authors first estimate the unknown nonlinear component by some nonparametric methods and then generalize the F-statistic to test the regression coefficients under some regular conditions. During this procedure, the estimation of the nonlinear component brings much challenge to explore the properties of generalized F-test. The authors obtain some asymptotic properties of the generalized F-test in more general cases,including the asymptotic normality and the power of this test with p/n ∈(0, 1) without normality assumption. The asymptotic result is general and by adding some constraint conditions we can obtain the similar conclusions in high dimensional linear models. Through simulation studies, the authors demonstrate good finite-sample performance of the proposed test in comparison with the theoretical results. The practical utility of our method is illustrated by a real data example.

Single-Index Quantile Regression with Left Truncated Data

The purpose of this paper is two fold. First, the authors investigate quantile regression(QR) estimation for single-index QR models when the response is subject to random left truncation.The random weights are introduced to deal with left truncated data and the associated iteration estimation method is proposed.

Two-step estimators in partial linear models with missing response variables and error-prone covariates

A partial linear model with missing response variables and error-prone covariates is considered. The imputation approach is developed to estimate the regression coefficients and the nonparametric function. The proposed parametric estimators are shown to be asymptotically normal, and the estimators for the nonparametric part are proved to converge at an optimal rate. To construct confidence regions for the regression coefficients and the nonparametric function, respectively, the authors also propose the empirical-likelihood-based statistics and investigate the limit distributions of the empirical likelihood ratios. The simulation study is conducted to compare the finite sample behavior for the proposed estimators. An application to an AIDS dataset is illustrated.

A NEW TEST FOR NORMALITY IN LINEAR AUTOREGRESSIVE MODELS

A nonparametric test for normality of linear autoregressive time series is proposed in this paper. The test is based on the best one-step forecast in mean square with time reverse. Some asymptotic theory is developed for the test, and it is shown that the test is easy to use and has good powers. The empirical percentage points to conduct the test in practice are provided and three examples using real data are included.     

An Additive Hazards Model for Clustered Recurrent Gap Times

In this article, clustered recurrent gap time is investigated. A marginal additive hazards model is proposed without specifying the association of the individuals within the same cluster. The relationship among the gap times for the same individual is also left unspecified. An estimating equation-based inference procedure is developed for the model parameters, and the asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators are established. In addition, a lack-of-fit test is presented to assess the adequacy of the model. The finite sample behavior of the proposed estimators is evaluated through simulation studies, and an application to a clinic study on chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is illustrated.

Inference on coefficient function for varying-coefficient partially linear model

One important model in handling the multivariate data is the varying-coemcient partially linear regression model.In this paper,the generalized likelihood ratio test is developed to test whether its coefficient functions are varying or not.It is showed that the normalized proposed test follows asymptoticallyχ~2-distribution and the Wilks phenomenon under the null hypothesis,and its asymptotic power achieves the optimal rate of the convergence for the nonparametric hypotheses testing.Some simulation studies illustrate that the test works well.     

Distance-Based Regression Analysis for Measuring Associations

Distance-based regression model, as a nonparametric multivariate method, has been widely used to detect the association between variations in a distance or dissimilarity matrix for outcomes and predictor variables of interest in genetic association studies, genomic analyses, and many other research areas. Based on it, a pseudo-F statistic which partitions the variation in distance matrices is often constructed to achieve the aim. To the best of our knowledge, the statistical properties of the pseudo-F statistic has not yet been well established in the literature. To fill this gap, the authors study the asymptotic null distribution of the pseudo-F statistic and show that it is asymptotically equivalent to a mixture of chi-squared random variables. Given that the pseudo-F test statistic has unsatisfactory power when the correlations of the response variables are large, the authors propose a square-root F-type test statistic which replaces the similarity matrix with its square root. The asymptotic null distribution of the new test statistic and power of both tests are also investigated. Simulation studies are conducted to validate the asymptotic distributions of the tests and demonstrate that the proposed test has more robust power than the pseudo-F test. Both test statistics are exemplified with a gene expression dataset for a prostate cancer pathway.

Robust Estimation for Partial Functional Linear Regression Model Based on Modal Regression

This paper presents a robust estimation procedure by using modal regression for the partial functional linear regression, which combines the common linear model with the functional linear regression model. The outstanding merit of the new method is that it is robust against outliers or heavy-tail error distributions while performs no worse than the least-square-based estimation method for normal error cases. The slope function is fitted by B-spline. Under suitable conditions, the authors obtain the convergence rates and asymptotic normality of the estimators. Finally, simulation studies and a real data example are conducted to examine the finite sample performance of the proposed method. Both the simulation results and the real data analysis confirm that the newly proposed method works very well.
