Book Semiparametric Theory and Missing Data

Download or read book Semiparametric Theory and Missing Data written by Anastasios Tsiatis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes current knowledge regarding the theory of estimation for semiparametric models with missing data, in an organized and comprehensive manner. It starts with the study of semiparametric methods when there are no missing data. The description of the theory of estimation for semiparametric models is both rigorous and intuitive, relying on geometric ideas to reinforce the intuition and understanding of the theory. These methods are then applied to problems with missing, censored, and coarsened data with the goal of deriving estimators that are as robust and efficient as possible.

Book Statistical Applications of Linear Programming for Feature Selection Via Regularization Methods

Download or read book Statistical Applications of Linear Programming for Feature Selection Via Regularization Methods written by Yonggang Yao and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: We consider statistical procedures for feature selection defined by a family of regularization problems with convex piecewise linear loss functions and penalties of L_1 or L_infinity nature. For example, quantile regression and support vector machines with L_1 norm penalty fall into the category. Computationally, the regularization problems are linear programming (LP) problems indexed by a single parameter, which are known as "parametric cost LP" or "parametric right-hand-side LP" in the optimization theory. Their solution paths can be generated with certain simplex algorithms. This work exploits the connection between the family of regularization methods and the parametric LP theory and lays out a general simplex algorithm and its variant for generating regularized solution paths for the feature selection problems. The significance of such algorithms is that they allow a complete exploration of the model space along the paths and provide a broad view of persistent features in the data. The implications of the general path-finding algorithms are outlined for various statistical procedures, and they are illustrated with numerical examples.

Book Foundations of Linear and Generalized Linear Models

Download or read book Foundations of Linear and Generalized Linear Models written by Alan Agresti and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A valuable overview of the most important ideas and results in statistical modeling Written by a highly-experienced author, Foundations of Linear and Generalized Linear Models is a clear and comprehensive guide to the key concepts and results of linearstatistical models. The book presents a broad, in-depth overview of the most commonly usedstatistical models by discussing the theory underlying the models, R software applications,and examples with crafted models to elucidate key ideas and promote practical modelbuilding. The book begins by illustrating the fundamentals of linear models, such as how the model-fitting projects the data onto a model vector subspace and how orthogonal decompositions of the data yield information about the effects of explanatory variables. Subsequently, the book covers the most popular generalized linear models, which include binomial and multinomial logistic regression for categorical data, and Poisson and negative binomial loglinear models for count data. Focusing on the theoretical underpinnings of these models, Foundations ofLinear and Generalized Linear Models also features: An introduction to quasi-likelihood methods that require weaker distributional assumptions, such as generalized estimating equation methods An overview of linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models with random effects for clustered correlated data, Bayesian modeling, and extensions to handle problematic cases such as high dimensional problems Numerous examples that use R software for all text data analyses More than 400 exercises for readers to practice and extend the theory, methods, and data analysis A supplementary website with datasets for the examples and exercises An invaluable textbook for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students in statistics and biostatistics courses, Foundations of Linear and Generalized Linear Models is also an excellent reference for practicing statisticians and biostatisticians, as well as anyone who is interested in learning about the most important statistical models for analyzing data.

Book Regularization and Bayesian Methods for Inverse Problems in Signal and Image Processing

Download or read book Regularization and Bayesian Methods for Inverse Problems in Signal and Image Processing written by Jean-Francois Giovannelli and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is on "ill-posed inverse problems". These problems cannot be solved only on the basis of observed data. The building of solutions involves the recognition of other pieces of a priori information. These solutions are then specific to the pieces of information taken into account. Clarifying and taking these pieces of information into account is necessary for grasping the domain of validity and the field of application for the solutions built. For too long, the interest in these problems has remained very limited in the signal-image community. However, the community has since recognized that these matters are more interesting and they have become the subject of much greater enthusiasm. From the application field’s point of view, a significant part of the book is devoted to conventional subjects in the field of inversion: biological and medical imaging, astronomy, non-destructive evaluation, processing of video sequences, target tracking, sensor networks and digital communications. The variety of chapters is also clear, when we examine the acquisition modalities at stake: conventional modalities, such as tomography and NMR, visible or infrared optical imaging, or more recent modalities such as atomic force imaging and polarized light imaging.
