Nonparametric Inferences for Additive Models
Additive models with backfitting algorithms are popular multivariate nonparametric fitting techniques. However, the inferences of the models have not been very well developed, due partially to the complexity of the backfitting estimators. There are few tools available to answer some important and frequently asked questions, such as whether a specific additive component is significant or admits ...
متن کاملSignificant Inferences : Preliminary Report
We explore the possibility of a logic where a conclusion substantially improves over its premise(s): Specifically, we intend to rule out inference steps such that the premise conveys more information, in a simpler form, than the conclusion does. In fact, most reasoning formalisms, among them classical logic, come with means for generating disjunctive or conditional information in a fairly arbit...
متن کاملNonparametric Inferences for the Hazard Function with Right Truncation
Incompleteness is a major feature of time-to-event data. As one type of incompleteness, truncation refers to the unobservability of the time-to-event variable because it is smaller (or greater) than the truncation variable. A truncated sample always involves left and right truncation. Left truncation has been studied extensively while right truncation has not received the same level of attentio...
متن کاملShrinkage Preliminary Test Estimation under a Precautionary Loss Function with Applications on Records and Censored Ddata
Shrinkage preliminary test estimation in exponential distribution under a precautionary loss function is considered. The minimum risk-unbiased estimator is derived and some shrinkage preliminary test estimators are proposed. We apply our results on censored data and records. The relative efficiencies of proposed estimators with respect to the minimum ‎risk-unbiased‎&...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Test of Exogeneity
This paper presents a test for exogeneity of explanatory variables that minimizes the need for auxiliary assumptions that are not required by the definition of exogeneity. It concerns inference about a non-parametric function g that is identified by a conditional moment restriction involving instrumental variables (IV). A test of the hypothesis that g is the mean of a random variable Y conditio...
