A nonparametric method for penetrance function estimation.
In diseases caused by a deleterious gene mutation, knowledge of age-specific cumulative risks is necessary for medical management of mutation carriers. When pedigrees are ascertained through at least one affected individual, ascertainment bias can be corrected by using a parametric method such as the Proband's phenotype Exclusion Likelihood, or PEL, that uses a survival analysis approach based ...
متن کاملA MODIFICATION ON RIDGE ESTIMATION FOR FUZZY NONPARAMETRIC REGRESSION
This paper deals with ridge estimation of fuzzy nonparametric regression models using triangular fuzzy numbers. This estimation method is obtained by implementing ridge regression learning algorithm in the La- grangian dual space. The distance measure for fuzzy numbers that suggested by Diamond is used and the local linear smoothing technique with the cross- validation procedure for selecting t...
متن کاملUnbalanced Haar technique for nonparametric function estimation
The discrete Unbalanced Haar (UH) transform is a decomposition of one-dimensional data with respect to an orthonormal Haar-like basis where jumps in the basis vectors do not necessarily occur in the middle of their support. We introduce a multiscale procedure for estimation in Gaussian noise which consists of three steps: a UH transform, thresholding of the decomposition coefficients, and the i...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of a Hedonic Price Function
In this paper we attempt to replicate the results of an article (Anglin and Gençay 1996) published in this journal which applied semiparametric procedures to estimate a hedonic price function. To relax additional restrictive assumptions, we also employ a fully nonparametric model that captures nonlinearity in both continuous and categorical variables. We find that the nonparametric procedure gi...
متن کاملWavelets and Nonparametric Function Estimation
The problem of nonparametric function estimation has received a substantial amount of attention in the statistical literature over the last 15 years. To a very large extent, the literature has described kernel-based convolution smoothing solutions to the problems of probability density estimation and nonlinear regression. Among the subcultures within this literature has been a substantial effor...
