Estimating the Distance to a Monotone Function
In standard property testing, the task is to distinguish between objects that have a property P and those that are ε-far from P , for some ε > 0. In this setting, it is perfectly acceptable for the tester to provide a negative answer for every input object that does not satisfy P . This implies that property testing in and of itself cannot be expected to yield any information whatsoever about t...
متن کاملEstimating a convex function in nonparametric regression
A new nonparametric estimate of a convex regression function is proposed and its stochastic properties are studied. The method starts with an unconstrained estimate of the derivative of the regression function, which is firstly isotonized and then integrated. We prove asymptotic normality of the new estimate and show that it is first order asymptotically equivalent to the initial unconstrained ...
متن کاملEstimation of smooth regression functions in monotone response models
We consider the estimation of smooth regression functions in a class of conditionally parametric covariate-response models. Independent and identically distributed observations are available from the distribution of (Z,X), where Z is a real–valued covariate with some unknown distribution, and the response X conditional on Z is distributed according to the density p(·, ψ(Z)), where p(·, θ) is a ...
متن کاملEstimating a Monotone Trend
The estimation of a monotone trend that has been obscured by stationary fluctuations is considered and illustrated by global temperature anomalies. At an interior point, the rescaled isotonic estimators are shown to converge in distribution to Chernoff’s distribution under minimal conditions on the stationary errors; and two modifications for estimating the value at an end point are compared. T...
متن کاملEstimating a smooth baseline hazard function for the Cox model
The aim of fitting a Cox model to time-to-event data is to estimate the effect of covariates on the baseline hazard function. The baseline hazard function, not itself estimated within the model, is the hazard function obtained when all covariate are set to zero. In several applications, it is important to have an explicit, preferably smooth, estimate of the baseline hazard function, or more gen...
