Bayesian posterior odds ratios for frequently encountered hypotheses about parameters of the normal linear multiple regression model are derived and discussed. For the particular prior distributions utilized, it is found that the posterior odds ratios can be well approximated by functions that are monotonic in usual sampling theory F statistics. Some implications of these finding and the relation of our work to the pioneering work of Jeffreys and others are considered. Tabulations of odd ratios...

In the paper four types of estimations of the linear function of the variance components are presented for the mixed linear model $𝐘=𝐗\beta +𝐞$ with expectation $E\left(𝐘\right)=𝐗\beta$ and covariance matrix $D\left(𝐘\right)={\mathbf{0}}_{\mathbf{1}}{𝐕}_{\mathbf{1}}+...+{\mathbf{0}}_{𝐦}{𝐕}_{𝐦}$.

In this paper are presented two robust estimators of unknown fuzzy parameters in the fuzzy regression model and investigated the relationship between these robust estimators in the classical regression model and in the fuzzy regression model.

F tests that are specially powerful for selected alternatives are built for sub-normal models. In these models the observation vector is the sum of a vector that stands for what is measured with a normal error vector, both vectors being independent. The results now presented generalize the treatment given by Dias (1994) for normal fixed-effects models, and consider the testing of hypothesis on the ordering of mean values and components.

Let (X, Y) be a random couple in S×T with unknown distribution P. Let (X1, Y1), …, (Xn, Yn) be i.i.d. copies of (X, Y), Pn being their empirical distribution. Let h1, …, hN:S↦[−1, 1] be a dictionary consisting of N functions. For λ∈ℝN, denote fλ:=∑j=1Nλjhj. Let ℓ:T×ℝ↦ℝ be a given loss function, which is convex with respect to the second variable. Denote (ℓ•f)(x, y):=ℓ(y; f(x)). We study the following penalized empirical risk minimization problem $${\widehat{\lambda }}^{\epsilon }:=\underset{\lambda \in {ℝ}^N}{argmin}\left[P_n(\ell •f_{\lambda })+\epsilon {\parallel \lambda \parallel }_{{\ell }_p}^p\right],$$ which is an empirical version of the problem $${\lambda }^{\epsilon }:=\underset{\lambda \in {ℝ}^N}{argmin}\left[P(\ell •f_{\lambda })+\epsilon {\parallel \lambda \parallel }_{{\ell }_p}^p\right]$$ (hereɛ≥0...

Generalizations of the additive hazards model are considered. Estimates of the regression parameters and baseline function are proposed, when covariates are random. The asymptotic properties of estimators are considered.

Let ${\theta }^{*}$ be a biased estimate of the parameter $\vartheta$ based on all observations $x_1$, $\cdots$, $x_n$ and let ${\theta }_{-i}^{*}$ ($i=1,2,\cdots ,n$) be the same estimate of the parameter $\vartheta$ obtained after deletion of the $i$-th observation. If the expectation of the estimators ${\theta }^{*}$ and ${\theta }_{-i}^{*}$ are expressed as $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill \mathrm{E}\left({\theta }^{*}\right)& =\vartheta +a\left(n\right)b\left(\vartheta \right)\hfill \\ \hfill \mathrm{E}\left({\theta }_{-i}^{*}\right)& =\vartheta +a(n-1)b\left(\vartheta \right)i=1,2,\cdots ,n,\hfill \end{array}$$ where $a\left(n\right)$ is a known sequence of real numbers and $b\left(\vartheta \right)$ is a function of $\vartheta$, then this system of equations can be regarded as a linear model. The least squares method gives the generalized jackknife estimator. Using this method, it is possible to obtain the unbiased...

The problem of estimating an unknown variance function in a random design Gaussian heteroscedastic regression model is considered. Both the regression function and the logarithm of the variance function are modelled by piecewise polynomials. A finite collection of such parametric models based on a family of partitions of support of an explanatory variable is studied. Penalized model selection criteria as well as post-model-selection estimates are introduced based on Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Restricted...
