Book Modern Methods for Robust Regression

Download or read book Modern Methods for Robust Regression written by Robert Andersen and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Methods for Robust Regression offers a brief but in-depth treatment of various methods for detecting and properly handling influential cases in regression analysis. This volume, geared toward both future and practicing social scientists, is unique in that it takes an applied approach and offers readers empirical examples to illustrate key concepts. It is ideal for readers who are interested in the issues related to outliers and influential cases. Key Features Defines key terms necessary to understanding the robustness of an estimator: Because they form the basis of robust regression techniques, the book also deals with various measures of location and scale. Addresses the robustness of validity and efficiency: After having described the robustness of validity for an estimator, the author discusses its efficiency. Focuses on the impact of outliers: The book compares the robustness of a wide variety of estimators that attempt to limit the influence of unusual observations. Gives an overview of some traditional techniques: Both formal statistical tests and graphical methods detect influential cases in the general linear model. Offers a Web appendix: This volume provides readers with the data and the R code for the examples used in the book. Intended Audience This is an excellent text for intermediate and advanced Quantitative Methods and Statistics courses offered at the graduate level across the social sciences.

Book Robust Estimation in Linear Model With Many Instruments

Download or read book Robust Estimation in Linear Model With Many Instruments written by Mikkel Soelvsten and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter of this dissertation considers a new class of robust estimators in a linear instrumental variables (IV) model with many instruments. The estimators are generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators, and the class includes the limited maximum likelihood estimator (LIML) as a special case. Each estimator in the class is consistent and asymptotically normal under many instruments asymptotics, and this chapter provides consistent variance estimators that are of the ``sandwich'' type and can be used to conduct asymptotically correct inference. Furthermore, this chapter characterizes an optimal robust estimator among the members of the class. Compared to LIML, the optimal robust estimator is less influenced by outliers and more efficient under thick-tailed error distributions. In an empirical example (Angrist and Krueger, 1991), the optimal robust estimator is approximately 80 percent more efficient than LIML. The second chapter of this dissertation provides a central limit theorem based on Stein's method (Stein, 1972) which is an integral component in the proof of the main theorem in the first chapter. It also appears to be general enough in its scope that it can be applied to a variety of other problems.

Book Robust Mixed Model Analysis

Download or read book Robust Mixed Model Analysis written by Jiang Jiming and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed-effects models have found broad applications in various fields. As a result, the interest in learning and using these models is rapidly growing. On the other hand, some of these models, such as the linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models, are highly parametric, involving distributional assumptions that may not be satisfied in real-life problems. Therefore, it is important, from a practical standpoint, that the methods of inference about these models are robust to violation of model assumptions. Fortunately, there is a full scale of methods currently available that are robust in certain aspects. Learning about these methods is essential for the practice of mixed-effects models.This research monograph provides a comprehensive account of methods of mixed model analysis that are robust in various aspects, such as to violation of model assumptions, or to outliers. It is suitable as a reference book for a practitioner who uses the mixed-effects models, and a researcher who studies these models. It can also be treated as a graduate text for a course on mixed-effects models and their applications.

  • Author : Ricardo A. Maronna
  • Publisher : John Wiley & Sons
  • Release : 2019-01-04
  • ISBN : 1119214688
  • Pages : 466 pages

Download or read book Robust Statistics written by Ricardo A. Maronna and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of this popular text on robust statistics, thoroughly updated to include new and improved methods and focus on implementation of methodology using the increasingly popular open-source software R. Classical statistics fail to cope well with outliers associated with deviations from standard distributions. Robust statistical methods take into account these deviations when estimating the parameters of parametric models, thus increasing the reliability of fitted models and associated inference. This new, second edition of Robust Statistics: Theory and Methods (with R) presents a broad coverage of the theory of robust statistics that is integrated with computing methods and applications. Updated to include important new research results of the last decade and focus on the use of the popular software package R, it features in-depth coverage of the key methodology, including regression, multivariate analysis, and time series modeling. The book is illustrated throughout by a range of examples and applications that are supported by a companion website featuring data sets and R code that allow the reader to reproduce the examples given in the book. Unlike other books on the market, Robust Statistics: Theory and Methods (with R) offers the most comprehensive, definitive, and up-to-date treatment of the subject. It features chapters on estimating location and scale; measuring robustness; linear regression with fixed and with random predictors; multivariate analysis; generalized linear models; time series; numerical algorithms; and asymptotic theory of M-estimates. Explains both the use and theoretical justification of robust methods Guides readers in selecting and using the most appropriate robust methods for their problems Features computational algorithms for the core methods Robust statistics research results of the last decade included in this 2nd edition include: fast deterministic robust regression, finite-sample robustness, robust regularized regression, robust location and scatter estimation with missing data, robust estimation with independent outliers in variables, and robust mixed linear models. Robust Statistics aims to stimulate the use of robust methods as a powerful tool to increase the reliability and accuracy of statistical modelling and data analysis. It is an ideal resource for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in statistics, engineering, computer science, and physical and social sciences.

  • Pages : 210 pages

Download or read book Partially Linear Models written by Wolfgang Härdle and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last ten years, there has been increasing interest and activity in the general area of partially linear regression smoothing in statistics. Many methods and techniques have been proposed and studied. This monograph hopes to bring an up-to-date presentation of the state of the art of partially linear regression techniques. The emphasis is on methodologies rather than on the theory, with a particular focus on applications of partially linear regression techniques to various statistical problems. These problems include least squares regression, asymptotically efficient estimation, bootstrap resampling, censored data analysis, linear measurement error models, nonlinear measurement models, nonlinear and nonparametric time series models.
