Efficient robust estimation of time-series regression models

Pavel Čížek (2008)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper studies a new class of robust regression estimators based on the two-step least weighted squares (2S-LWS) estimator which employs data-adaptive weights determined from the empirical distribution or quantile functions of regression residuals obtained from an initial robust fit. Just like many existing two-step robust methods, the proposed 2S-LWS estimator preserves robust properties of the initial robust estimate. However, contrary to the existing methods, the first-order asymptotic behavior...

Estimación de correlaciones utilizando envolturas convexas.

José A. Cristóbal Cristóbal, Alfredo García Olaverri (1987)

Trabajos de Estadística

En el presente trabajo se realiza un estudio de la envoltura convexa de una muestra normal bivariante, analizando la distribución de la pendiente de sus aristas. En base a ello se propone un estimador del coeficiente de correlación de la población, investigando algunas propiedades del mismo.

Estimates of reliability for the normal distribution

Jan Hurt (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

The minimum variance unbiased, the maximum likelihood, the Bayes, and the naive estimates of the reliability function of a normal distribution are studied. Their asymptotic normality is proved and asymptotic expansions for both the expectation and the mean squared error are derived. The estimates are then compared using the concept of deficiency. In the end an extensive Monte Carlo study of the estimates in small samples is given.

Estimating quantiles with Linex loss function. Applications to VaR estimation

Ryszard Zieliński (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Sometimes, e.g. in the context of estimating VaR (Value at Risk), underestimating a quantile is less desirable than overestimating it, which suggests measuring the error of estimation by an asymmetric loss function. As a loss function when estimating a parameter θ by an estimator T we take the well known Linex function exp{α(T-θ)} - α(T-θ) - 1. To estimate the quantile of order q ∈ (0,1) of a normal distribution N(μ,σ), we construct an optimal estimator in the class of all estimators of the form...
