Maximum Likelihood for Variance Estimation in High-Dimensional Linear Models
The plots in Figure 1 from the main text were generated using various estimators of σ 0 , each of which was computed for 500 independent datasets (y, X). The datasets were generated according to the linear model (1)– (2) (equation references refer to the main text), with n = 500, p = 1000, σ 0 = 1, and η 2 0 = 4. We considered settings where β had various sparsity levels, indicated by a paramet...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Estimation of Agent-based Models
This paper addresses a major methodological issue of Agent-Based (AB) models which has prevented them from being accepted by the mainstream research community. Any scienti c model or theory has to be testable for example by comparing predictions which are contingent on the model against empirical observations. If they coincide the model can be considered as provisionally true, else it is falsi ...
متن کاملA comparison of algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation of Spatial GLM models
In spatial generalized linear mixed models, spatial correlation is assumed by adding normal latent variables to the model. In these models because of the non-Gaussian spatial response and the presence of latent variables the likelihood function cannot usually be given in a closed form, thus the maximum likelihood approach is very challenging. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce two n...
متن کاملBias/Variance Decompositions for Likelihood-Based Estimators
The bias/variance decomposition of mean-squared error is well understood and relatively straightforward. In this note, a similar simple decomposition is derived, valid for any kind of error measure that, when using the appropriate probability model, can be derived from a Kullback-Leibler divergence or log-likelihood.
متن کاملEstimation of Variance Components for Body Weight of Moghani Sheep Using B-Spline Random Regression Models
The aim of the present study was the estimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for body weight of Moghani sheep, using random regression models based on B-Splines functions. The data set included 9165 body weight records from 60 to 360 days of age from 2811 Moghani sheep, collected between 1994 to 2013 from Jafar-Abad Animal Research and Breeding Institute, Ardabil province,...
