Book High Dimensional Covariance Estimation

Download or read book High Dimensional Covariance Estimation written by Mohsen Pourahmadi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods for estimating sparse and large covariance matrices Covariance and correlation matrices play fundamental roles in every aspect of the analysis of multivariate data collected from a variety of fields including business and economics, health care, engineering, and environmental and physical sciences. High-Dimensional Covariance Estimation provides accessible and comprehensive coverage of the classical and modern approaches for estimating covariance matrices as well as their applications to the rapidly developing areas lying at the intersection of statistics and machine learning. Recently, the classical sample covariance methodologies have been modified and improved upon to meet the needs of statisticians and researchers dealing with large correlated datasets. High-Dimensional Covariance Estimation focuses on the methodologies based on shrinkage, thresholding, and penalized likelihood with applications to Gaussian graphical models, prediction, and mean-variance portfolio management. The book relies heavily on regression-based ideas and interpretations to connect and unify many existing methods and algorithms for the task. High-Dimensional Covariance Estimation features chapters on: Data, Sparsity, and Regularization Regularizing the Eigenstructure Banding, Tapering, and Thresholding Covariance Matrices Sparse Gaussian Graphical Models Multivariate Regression The book is an ideal resource for researchers in statistics, mathematics, business and economics, computer sciences, and engineering, as well as a useful text or supplement for graduate-level courses in multivariate analysis, covariance estimation, statistical learning, and high-dimensional data analysis.

Book High dimensional Econometrics And Identification

Download or read book High dimensional Econometrics And Identification written by Kao Chihwa and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many applications of econometrics and economics, a large proportion of the questions of interest are identification. An economist may be interested in uncovering the true signal when the data could be very noisy, such as time-series spurious regression and weak instruments problems, to name a few. In this book, High-Dimensional Econometrics and Identification, we illustrate the true signal and, hence, identification can be recovered even with noisy data in high-dimensional data, e.g., large panels. High-dimensional data in econometrics is the rule rather than the exception. One of the tools to analyze large, high-dimensional data is the panel data model.High-Dimensional Econometrics and Identification grew out of research work on the identification and high-dimensional econometrics that we have collaborated on over the years, and it aims to provide an up-todate presentation of the issues of identification and high-dimensional econometrics, as well as insights into the use of these results in empirical studies. This book is designed for high-level graduate courses in econometrics and statistics, as well as used as a reference for researchers.

Book Local Variance Estimation for Uncensored and Censored Observations

Download or read book Local Variance Estimation for Uncensored and Censored Observations written by Paola Gloria Ferrario and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paola Gloria Ferrario develops and investigates several methods of nonparametric local variance estimation. The first two methods use regression estimations (plug-in), achieving least squares estimates as well as local averaging estimates (partitioning or kernel type). Furthermore, the author uses a partitioning method for the estimation of the local variance based on first and second nearest neighbors (instead of regression estimation). Approaching specific problems of application fields, all the results are extended and generalised to the case where only censored observations are available. Further, simulations have been executed comparing the performance of two different estimators (R-Code available!). As a possible application of the given theory the author proposes a survival analysis of patients who are treated for a specific illness.

Book Recursive Bias Estimation for High Dimensional Regression Smoothers

Download or read book Recursive Bias Estimation for High Dimensional Regression Smoothers written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In multivariate nonparametric analysis, sparseness of the covariates also called curse of dimensionality, forces one to use large smoothing parameters. This leads to biased smoother. Instead of focusing on optimally selecting the smoothing parameter, we fix it to some reasonably large value to ensure an over-smoothing of the data. The resulting smoother has a small variance but a substantial bias. In this paper, we propose to iteratively correct of the bias initial estimator by an estimate of the latter obtained by smoothing the residuals. We examine in details the convergence of the iterated procedure for classical smoothers and relate our procedure to L2-Boosting, For multivariate thin plate spline smoother, we proved that our procedure adapts to the correct and unknown order of smoothness for estimating an unknown function m belonging to H([nu]) (Sobolev space where m should be bigger than d/2). We apply our method to simulated and real data and show that our method compares favorably with existing procedures.

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.

Book High dimensional Regression Models with Structured Coefficients

Download or read book High dimensional Regression Models with Structured Coefficients written by Yuan Li and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regression models are very common for statistical inference, especially linear regression models with Gaussian noise. But in many modern scientific applications with large-scale datasets, the number of samples is small relative to the number of model parameters, which is the so-called high- dimensional setting. Directly applying classical linear regression models to high-dimensional data is ill-posed. Thus it is necessary to impose additional assumptions for regression coefficients to make high-dimensional statistical analysis possible. Regularization methods with sparsity assumptions have received substantial attention over the past two decades. But there are still some open questions regarding high-dimensional statistical analysis. Firstly, most literature provides statistical analysis for high-dimensional linear models with Gaussian noise, it is unclear whether similar results still hold if we are no longer in the Gaussian setting. To answer this question under Poisson setting, we study the minimax rates and provide an implementable convex algorithm for high-dimensional Poisson inverse problems under weak sparsity assumption and physical constraints. Secondly, much of the theory and methodology for high-dimensional linear regression models are based on the assumption that independent variables are independent of each other or have weak correlations. But it is possible that this assumption is not satisfied that some features are highly correlated with each other. It is natural to ask whether it is still possible to make high-dimensional statistical inference with high-correlated designs. Thus we provide a graph-based regularization method for high-dimensional regression models with high-correlated designs along with theoretical guarantees.
