Wavelets and variance reduction in non-parametric transfer function estimation
A variance reduction scheme is presented for nonparametric transfer function estimators based on the use of wavelets as an alternative to the traditional spectral windowing. The latter can be generalized into a variance reduction method based on thresholding (omitting or altering) the coefficients of an orthogonal series expansion of the estimator to be smoothed. Crucial is the choice of thresh...
متن کاملNon-parametric Residual Variance Estimation in Supervised Learning
The residual variance estimation problem is well-known in statistics and machine learning with many applications for example in the field of nonlinear modelling. In this paper, we show that the problem can be formulated in a general supervised learning context. Emphasis is on two widely used non-parametric techniques known as the Delta test and the Gamma test. Under some regularity assumptions,...
متن کاملSurvival analysis using auxiliary variables via non-parametric multiple imputation.
We develop an approach, based on multiple imputation, that estimates the marginal survival distribution in survival analysis using auxiliary variables to recover information for censored observations. To conduct the imputation, we use two working survival models to define a nearest neighbour imputing risk set. One model is for the event times and the other for the censoring times. Based on the ...
متن کاملA new method for non-parametric multivariate analysis of variance
Hypothesis-testing methods for multivariate data are needed to make rigorous probability statements about the effects of factors and their interactions in experiments. Analysis of variance is particularly powerful for the analysis of univariate data. The traditional multivariate analogues, however, are too stringent in their assumptions for most ecological multivariate data sets. Non-parametric...
متن کاملVariance Estimation in the Presence of Imputation for Missing Data
Item nonresponse is usually treated by some form of deterministic or random imputation. We focus on deterministic imputation; in particular, ratio and nearest neighbour imputations commonly used in establishment surveys. Frequentist inference from imputed data is based on a repeated sampling framework and assumed response mechanism. On the other hand, use of imputation models requires only that...
