Estimation of nuisance parameters for inference based on least absolute deviations

Wojciech Niemiro (1995)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Statistical inference procedures based on least absolute deviations involve estimates of a matrix which plays the role of a multivariate nuisance parameter. To estimate this matrix, we use kernel smoothing. We show consistency and obtain bounds on the rate of convergence.

The extreme value Birnbaum-Saunders model, its moments and an application in biometry

M. Ivette Gomes, Marta Ferreira, Víctor Leiva (2012)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

The Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) model is a life distribution that has been widely studied and applied. Recently, a new version of the BS distribution based on extreme value theory has been introduced, named the extreme value Birnbaum-Saunders (EVBS) distribution. In this article we provide some further details on the EVBS models that can be useful as a supplement to the existing results. We use these models to analyse real survival time data for patients treated with alkylating agents for...

Estimation and prediction in regression models with random explanatory variables

Nguyen Bac-Van

Similarity:

The regression model X(t),Y(t);t=1,...,n with random explanatory variable X is transformed by prescribing a partition S 1 , . . . , S k of the given domain S of X-values and specifying X ( 1 ) , . . . , X ( n ) ∩ S i = X i 1 , . . . , X i α ( i ) , i = 1 , . . . , k . Through the conditioning α ( i ) = a ( i ) , i = 1 , . . . , k , X i 1 , . . . , X i α ( i ) ; i = 1 , . . . , k = x 11 , . . . , x k a ( k ) the initial model with i.i.d. pairs (X(t),Y(t)),t=1,...,n, becomes a conditional fixed-design ( x 11 , . . . , x k a ( k ) ) model Y i j , i = 1 , . . . , k ; j = 1 , . . . , a ( i ) where the response variables Y i j are independent and distributed according to the mixed conditional distribution Q ( · , x i j ) of Y given X at the observed value x i j .Afterwards, we investigate the case ( Q ) E ( Y ' | x ) = ∑ i = 1 k b i ( x ) θ i I S i ( x ) , ( Q ) D ( Y | x ) = ∑ i = 1 k d i ( x ) Σ i I S i ( x ) which...
