Median regularity and honest inference

چکیده
Summary We introduce a new notion of regularity an estimator called median regularity. prove that uniformly valid honest inference for functional is possible if and only there exists regular functional. To the best our knowledge, such necessary unavailable in literature.

Semiparametric median residual life model and inference
For randomly censored data, the authors propose a general class of semiparametricmedian residual life models. They incorporate covariates in a generalized linear form while leaving the baseline median residual life function completely unspecified. Despite the non-identifiability of the survival function for a given median residual life function, a simple and natural procedure is proposed to est...
متن کاملInference with the Median of a Prior
We consider the problem of inference on one of the two parameters of a probability distribution when we have some prior information on a nuisance parameter. When a prior probability distribution on this nuisance parameter is given, the marginal distribution is the classical tool to account for it. If the prior distribution is not given, but we have partial knowledge such as a fixed number of mo...
متن کاملRobust Nonparametric Inference for the Median
We consider the problem of constructing robust nonparametric confidence intervals and tests of hypothesis for the median when the data distribution is unknown and the data may contain a small fraction of contamination. We propose a modification of the sign test (and its associated confidence interval) which attains the nominal significance level (probability coverage) for any distribution in th...
متن کاملMedian Selection Subset Aggregation for Parallel Inference
For massive data sets, efficient computation commonly relies on distributed algorithms that store and process subsets of the data on different machines, minimizing communication costs. Our focus is on regression and classification problems involving many features. A variety of distributed algorithms have been proposed in this context, but challenges arise in defining an algorithm with low commu...
متن کاملNonparametric inference on median residual life function.
A simple approach to the estimation of the median residual lifetime is proposed for a single group by inverting a function of the Kaplan-Meier estimators. A test statistic is proposed to compare two median residual lifetimes at any fixed time point. The test statistic does not involve estimation of the underlying probability density function of failure times under censoring. Extensive simulatio...
