Unbiased risk estimation method for covariance estimation

Hélène Lescornel, Jean-Michel Loubes, Claudie Chabriac (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider a model selection estimator of the covariance of a random process. Using the Unbiased Risk Estimation (U.R.E.) method, we build an estimator of the risk which allows to select an estimator in a collection of models. Then, we present an oracle inequality which ensures that the risk of the selected estimator is close to the risk of the oracle. Simulations show the efficiency of this methodology.

On-line nonparametric estimation.

Rafail Khasminskii (2004)

SORT

Similarity:

A survey of some recent results on nonparametric on-line estimation is presented. The first result deals with an on-line estimation for a smooth signal S(t) in the classic 'signal plus Gaussian white noise' model. Then an analogous on-line estimator for the regression estimation problem with equidistant design is described and justified. Finally some preliminary results related to the on-line estimation for the diffusion observed process are described.

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.

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....

Estimating a discrete distribution histogram selection

Nathalie Akakpo (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Our aim is to estimate the joint distribution of a finite sequence of independent categorical variables. We consider the collection of partitions into dyadic intervals and the associated histograms, and we select from the data the best histogram by minimizing a penalized least-squares criterion. The choice of the collection of partitions is inspired from approximation results due to DeVore and Yu. Our estimator satisfies a nonasymptotic oracle-type inequality and adaptivity properties...

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...

Estimation for heavy tailed moving average process

Hakim Ouadjed, Tawfiq Fawzi Mami (2018)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper, we propose two estimators for a heavy tailed MA(1) process. The first is a semi parametric estimator designed for MA(1) driven by positive-value stable variables innovations. We study its asymptotic normality and finite sample performance. We compare the behavior of this estimator in which we use the Hill estimator for the extreme index and the estimator in which we use the t-Hill in order to examine its robustness. The second estimator is for MA(1) driven by stable variables...

Using randomization to improve performance of a variance estimator of strongly dependent errors

Artur Bryk (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a fixed-design regression model with long-range dependent errors which form a moving average or Gaussian process. We introduce an artificial randomization of grid points at which observations are taken in order to diminish the impact of strong dependence. We estimate the variance of the errors using the Rice estimator. The estimator is shown to exhibit weak (i.e. in probability) consistency. Simulation results confirm this property for moderate and large sample sizes when...

Nonparametric bivariate estimation for successive survival times.

Carles Serrat, Guadalupe Gómez (2007)

SORT

Similarity:

Several aspects of the analysis of two successive survival times are considered. All the analyses take into account the dependent censoring on the second time induced by the first. Three nonparametric methods are described, implemented and applied to the data coming from a multicentre clinical trial for HIV-infected patients. Visser's and Wang and Wells methods propose an estimator for the bivariate survival function while Gómez and Serrat's method presents a conditional approach for...
