Detecting atypical data in air pollution studies by using shorth intervals for regression

Cécile Durot, Karelle Thiébot (2005)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

To validate pollution data, subject-matter experts in Airpl (an organization that maintains a network of air pollution monitoring stations in western France) daily perform visual examinations of the data and check their consistency. In this paper, we describe these visual examinations and propose a formalization for this problem. The examinations consist in comparisons of so-called shorth intervals so we build a statistical test that compares such intervals in a nonparametric regression...

How to deal with regression models with a weak nonlinearity

Eva Tesaríková, Lubomír Kubáček (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

If a nonlinear regression model is linearized in a non-sufficient small neighbourhood of the actual parameter, then all statistical inferences may be deteriorated. Some criteria how to recognize this are already developed. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the behaviour of the program for utilization of these criteria.

Seeking Relationships in Big Data: A Bayesian Perspective

Singpurwalla, Nozer (2014)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

The real purpose of collecting big data is to identify causality in the hope that this will facilitate credible predictivity . But the search for causality can trap one into infinite regress, and thus one takes refuge in seeking associations between variables in data sets. Regrettably, the mere knowledge of associations does not enable predictivity. Associations need to be embedded within the framework of probability calculus to make coherent predictions. This is so because associations...

Empirical regression quantile processes

Jana Jurečková, Jan Picek, Martin Schindler (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We address the problem of estimating quantile-based statistical functionals, when the measured or controlled entities depend on exogenous variables which are not under our control. As a suitable tool we propose the empirical process of the average regression quantiles. It partially masks the effect of covariates and has other properties convenient for applications, e.g. for coherent risk measures of various types in the situations with covariates.

A note on robust estimation in logistic regression model

Tadeusz Bednarski (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Computationally attractive Fisher consistent robust estimation methods based on adaptive explanatory variables trimming are proposed for the logistic regression model. Results of a Monte Carlo experiment and a real data analysis show its good behavior for moderate sample sizes. The method is applicable when some distributional information about explanatory variables is available.
