The LASSO estimator: Distributional properties

Rakshith Jagannath, Neelesh S. Upadhye (2018)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) is a popular technique for simultaneous estimation and model selection. There have been a lot of studies on the large sample asymptotic distributional properties of the LASSO estimator, but it is also well-known that the asymptotic results can give a wrong picture of the LASSO estimator's actual finite-sample behaviour. The finite sample distribution of the LASSO estimator has been previously studied for the special case of...

Smoothing dichotomy in randomized fixed-design regression with strongly dependent errors based on a moving average

Artur Bryk (2014)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a fixed-design regression model with errors which form a Borel measurable function of a long-range dependent moving average process. We introduce an artificial randomization of grid points at which observations are taken in order to diminish the impact of strong dependence. We show that the Priestley-Chao kernel estimator of the regression fuction exhibits a dichotomous asymptotic behaviour depending on the amount of smoothing employed. Moreover, the resulting estimator is...

Empirical comparison between the Nelson-Aalen Estimator and the Naive Local Constant Estimator.

Ana María Pérez-Marín (2008)

SORT

Similarity:

The Nelson-Aalen estimator is widely used in biostatistics as a non-parametric estimator of the cumulative hazard function based on a right censored sample. A number of alternative estimators can be mentioned, namely, the naive local constant estimator (Guillén, Nielsen and Pérez-Marín, 2007) which provides improved bias versus variance properties compared to the traditional Nelson-Aalen estimator. Nevertheless, an empirical comparison of these two estimators has never been carried out....

Smoothing and preservation of irregularities using local linear fitting

Irène Gijbels (2008)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

For nonparametric estimation of a smooth regression function, local linear fitting is a widely-used method. The goal of this paper is to briefly review how to use this method when the unknown curve possibly has some irregularities, such as jumps or peaks, at unknown locations. It is then explained how the same basic method can be used when estimating unsmooth probability densities and conditional variance functions.

Estimation in connecting measurements with constraints of type II

Jaroslav Marek (2004)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

This paper is a continuation of the paper [6]. It dealt with parameter estimation in connecting two–stage measurements with constraints of type I. Unlike the paper [6], the current paper is concerned with a model with additional constraints of type II binding parameters of both stages. The article is devoted primarily to the computational aspects of algorithms published in [5] and its aim is to show the power of 𝐇 * -optimum estimators. The aim of the paper is to contribute to a numerical...

Redescending M-estimators in regression analysis, cluster analysis and image analysis

Christine H. Müller (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We give a review on the properties and applications of M-estimators with redescending score function. For regression analysis, some of these redescending M-estimators can attain the maximum breakdown point which is possible in this setup. Moreover, some of them are the solutions of the problem of maximizing the efficiency under bounded influence function when the regression coefficient and the scale parameter are estimated simultaneously. Hence redescending M-estimators satisfy several...

Robust m-estimator of parameters in variance components model

Roman Zmyślony, Stefan Zontek (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

It is shown that a method of robust estimation in a two way crossed classification mixed model, recently proposed by Bednarski and Zontek (1996), can be extended to a more general case of variance components model with commutative a covariance matrices.

A new stochastic restricted biased estimator under heteroscedastic or correlated error

Mustafa Ismaeel Alheety (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper, under the linear regression model with heteroscedastic and/or correlated errors when the stochastic linear restrictions on the parameter vector are assumed to be held, a generalization of the ordinary mixed estimator (GOME), ordinary ridge regression estimator (GORR) and Generalized least squares estimator (GLSE) is proposed. The performance of this new estimator against GOME, GORR, GLS and the stochastic restricted Liu estimator (SRLE) [Yang and Xu, 50 (2007) 639–647]...
