Representation Theorem for Convex Nonparametric Least Squares
We examine a nonparametric least squares regression model where the regression function is endogenously selected from the family of continuous, monotonic increasing and globally concave functions that can be nondifferentiable. We show that this family of functions is perfectly represented by a subset of continuous, piece-wise linear functions whose intercept and slope coefficients are constrain...
متن کاملNonparametric Least Squares Regression and Testing in E Conomic Models
This paper proposes a tractable and consistent estimator of the (possibly multi-equation) nonparametric regression model. The estimator is based on least squares over sets of functions bounded in Sobolev norm and is closely related to penalized least squares. We establish consistency and rate of convergence results as well as asymptotic normality of the (suitably standardized) sum of squared re...
متن کاملPenalized Least Squares Methods for Latent Variables Models
In this note, we propose a least squares method with l1 penalty (based on the “Lasso”) to estimate models with latent variables. Our approach addresses the high dimensionality of these models, due to the presence of unknown distribution functions. It builds on a recent proposal by Bunea, Tsybakov, Wegkamp and Barbu (2010, Annals of Statistics) that uses penalized least squares for density estim...
متن کاملLeast Squares Methods for System Identification of Structured Models
The purpose of system identification is to build mathematical models for dynamical systems from experimental data. With the current increase in complexity of engineering systems, an important challenge is to develop accurate and computationally efficient algorithms. For estimation of parametric models, the prediction error method (PEM) is a benchmark in the field. When the noise is Gaussian and...
متن کاملSource Localization using Stochastic Approximation and Least Squares Methods
This paper presents two approaches to locate the source of a chemical plume; Nonlinear Least Squares and Stochastic Approximation (SA) algorithms. Concentration levels of the chemical measured by special sensors are used to locate this source. Non-linear Least Squares technique is applied at different noise levels and compared with the localization using SA. For a noise corrupted data collected...
