Book Efficient and Adaptive Estimation for Semiparametric Models

Download or read book Efficient and Adaptive Estimation for Semiparametric Models written by Peter J. Bickel and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-06-01 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with estimation in situations in which there is believed to be enough information to model parametrically some, but not all of the features of a data set. Such models have arisen in a wide context in recent years, and involve new nonlinear estimation procedures. Statistical models of this type are directly applicable to fields such as economics, epidemiology, and astronomy.

Book Semiparametric Efficiency Bounds for Microeconometric Models

Download or read book Semiparametric Efficiency Bounds for Microeconometric Models written by Thomas A. Severini and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this survey, we evaluate estimators by comparing their asymptotic variances. The role of the efficiency bound, in this context, is to give a lower bound to the asymptotic variance of an estimator. An estimator with asymptotic variance equal to the efficiency bound can therefore be said to be asymptotically efficient. These bounds are also useful for understanding how the features of a given model affect the accuracy of parameter estimation.

Book Semiparametric Regression Models for Between  and Within subject Attributes

Download or read book Semiparametric Regression Models for Between and Within subject Attributes written by Jinyuan Liu and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breakthroughs such as high-throughput sequencing are generating flourishing high-dimensional data that provoke challenges in both statistical analyses and interpretations. Since directly modeling such data often suffers from multiple testing and low power, an emerging alternative is to first reduce the dimension at the outset, by comparing two subjects' genome sequences using dissimilarity metrics, yielding "between-subject attributes." In the first half of this talk, I will extend the classical generalized linear models (GLM) to establish a new regression paradigm for between-subject attributes, using a class of semiparametric functional response models (FRM). Despite its growing applications, the efficiency of estimators for the FRM has not yet been carefully studied. This is of fundamental importance for semiparametric models due to the efficiency loss at the price of minimum model assumptions. For the next half of the talk, we leverage the Hilbert-Space-based semiparametric efficiency theory to show that estimators from a class of U-statistics-based generalized estimating equation (UGEE) achieve the semiparametric efficiency bound. Thus, like GEE for semiparametric GLM, UGEE estimators also harmonize efficiency and robustness, propelling growing applications in biomedical, psychosocial, and related research.

Book Parametric and Semiparametric Models with Applications to Reliability  Survival Analysis  and Quality of Life

Download or read book Parametric and Semiparametric Models with Applications to Reliability Survival Analysis and Quality of Life written by M.S. Nikulin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parametric and semiparametric models are tools with a wide range of applications to reliability, survival analysis, and quality of life. This self-contained volume examines these tools in survey articles written by experts currently working on the development and evaluation of models and methods. While a number of chapters deal with general theory, several explore more specific connections and recent results in "real-world" reliability theory, survival analysis, and related fields. Specific topics covered include: * cancer prognosis using survival forests * short-term health problems related to air pollution: analysis using semiparametric generalized additive models * semiparametric models in the studies of aging and longevity This book will be of use as a reference text for general statisticians, theoreticians, graduate students, reliability engineers, health researchers, and biostatisticians working in applied probability and statistics.

Book Nonparametric and Semiparametric Models

Download or read book Nonparametric and Semiparametric Models written by Wolfgang Karl Härdle and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statistical and mathematical principles of smoothing with a focus on applicable techniques are presented in this book. It naturally splits into two parts: The first part is intended for undergraduate students majoring in mathematics, statistics, econometrics or biometrics whereas the second part is intended to be used by master and PhD students or researchers. The material is easy to accomplish since the e-book character of the text gives a maximum of flexibility in learning (and teaching) intensity.

Book Efficient Estimation of Semi Parametric Models By Smoothed Maximum Likelihood

Download or read book Efficient Estimation of Semi Parametric Models By Smoothed Maximum Likelihood written by Stephen R. Cosslett and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smoothed likelihood function is used to construct efficient estimators for some semi-parametric models that contain unknown density functions together with parametric index functions. Smoothing the likelihood makes maximization with respect to the unknown density functions more tractable. The method is used to show the efficiency gains from knowledge of population shares in three cases: (1) binary choice; (2) binary choice when only one outcome is sampled, supplemented by random sampling of the explanatory variables; and (3) linear regression, where the shares are defined by a threshold value of the dependent variable. Semi-parametric efficiency is achieved both for parametric components and for a class of functionals of the error density.
