Weakly nonlinear regression model with constraints I: nonlinear hypothesis

Lubomír Kubácek, Eva Tesaríková (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The problem considered is under which conditions in weakly nonlinear regression model with constraints I a weakly nonlinear hypothesis can be tested by linear methods. The aim of the paper is to find a region around the approximate value of the regression parameter with the following property. If we are certain that the actual value of the regression parameter is in this region, then the linear method of testing can be used without any significant deterioration of the inference. ...

Selection in parametric models via some stepdown procedures

Konrad Furmańczyk (2014)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The paper considers the problem of consistent variable selection in parametic models with the use of stepdown multiple hypothesis procedures. Our approach completes the results of Bunea et al. [J. Statist. Plann. Inference 136 (2006)]. A simulation study supports the results obtained.

Directional quantile regression in R

Pavel Boček, Miroslav Šiman (2017)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Recently, the eminently popular standard quantile regression has been generalized to the multiple-output regression setup by means of directional regression quantiles in two rather interrelated ways. Unfortunately, they lead to complicated optimization problems involving parametric programming, and this may be the main obstacle standing in the way of their wide dissemination. The presented R package modQR is intended to address this issue. It originates as a quite faithful translation...

On inconsistency of Hellwig's variable choice method in regression models

Tadeusz Bednarski, Filip Borowicz (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

It is shown that a popular variable choice method of Hellwig, which is recommended in the Polish econometric textbooks does not enjoy a very basic consistency property. It means in particular that the method may lead to rejection of significant variables in econometric modeling. A simulation study and a real data analysis case are given to support theoretical results.

Stacked regression with restrictions

Tomasz Górecki (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

When we apply stacked regression to classification we need only discriminant indices which can be negative. In many situations, we want these indices to be positive, e.g., if we want to use them to count posterior probabilities, when we want to use stacked regression to combining classification. In such situation, we have to use leastsquares regression under the constraint βₖ ≥ 0, k = 1,2,...,K. In their earlier work [5], LeBlanc and Tibshirani used an algorithm given in [4]. However,...

Directional quantile regression in Octave (and MATLAB)

Pavel Boček, Miroslav Šiman (2016)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Although many words have been written about two recent directional (regression) quantile concepts, their applications, and the algorithms for computing associated (regression) quantile regions, their software implementation is still not widely available, which, of course, severely hinders the dissemination of both methods. Wanting to partly fill in the gap here, we provide all the codes needed for computing and plotting the multivariate (regression) quantile regions in Octave and MATLAB,...

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

Cécile Durot, Karelle Thiébot (2010)

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...

Seasonal forecasting of tropical cyclone activity in the Australian and the South Pacific Ocean regions

J.S. Wijnands, G. Qian, K.L. Shelton, R.J.B. Fawcett, J.C.L. Chan, Y. Kuleshov (2015)

Mathematics of Climate and Weather Forecasting

Similarity:

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (Bureau) issues operational tropical cyclone (TC) seasonal forecasts for the Australian region (AR) and the South Pacific Ocean (SPO) and subregions therein. The forecasts are issued in October, ahead of the Southern Hemisphere TC season (November to April). Improvement of operational TC seasonal forecasts can lead to more accurate warnings for coastal communities to prepare for TC hazards. This study investigates the use of support vector regression...

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.
