Identifiability constraints in generalized additive models

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Identifiability constraints are necessary for parameter estimation when fitting models with nonlinear covariate associations. The choice of constraint affects standard errors the estimated curve. Centring often applied by default because they thought to yield lowest out any constraint, but this claim has not been investigated. We show that whether centring optimal depends on response distribution and parameterization, natural exponential family responses under canonical parametrization, only Gaussian response.

On the Identifiability of Additive Index Models

In this paper, we investigate the identifiability of the additive index model, also known as projection pursuit regression. Although a flexible regression tool, additive index models can be hard to interpret in practice due to a lack of identifiability. As noted by Horowitz (1998), “it is an open question whether there are identifying restrictions that yield useful forms”, in reference to addit...

Functional Generalized Additive Models.

We introduce the functional generalized additive model (FGAM), a novel regression model for association studies between a scalar response and a functional predictor. We model the link-transformed mean response as the integral with respect to t of F{X(t), t} where F(·,·) is an unknown regression function and X(t) is a functional covariate. Rather than having an additive model in a finite number ...

Markov-switching generalized additive models

We consider Markov-switching regression models, i.e. models for time series regression analyses where the functional relationship between covariates and response is subject to regime switching controlled by an unobservable Markov chain. Building on the powerful hidden Markov model machinery and the methods for penalized B-splines routinely used in regression analyses, we develop a framework for...

Genome-wide generalized additive models

13 Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is a widely used 14 approach to study protein-DNA interactions. To analyze ChIP-Seq data, practitioners are 15 required to combine tools based on different statistical assumptions and dedicated to spe16 cific applications such as calling protein occupancy peaks or testing for differential occu17 pancies. Here, we present Ge...

Smooth Backfitting in Generalized Additive Models

Generalized additive models have been popular among statisticians and data analysts in multivariate nonparametric regression with non-Gaussian responses including binary and count data. In this paper, a new likelihood approach for fitting generalized additive models is proposed. It aims to maximize a smoothed likelihood. The additive functions are estimated by solving a system of nonlinear inte...
