Nonparametric estimation and symmetry tests for conditional density functions
We suggest two improved methods for conditional density estimation. The first is based on locally fitting a log-linear model, and is in the spirit of recent work on locally parametric techniques in density estimation. The second method is a constrained local polynomial estimator. Both methods always produce non-negative estimators. We propose an algorithm suitable for selecting the two bandwidt...
متن کاملAuc-based Tests for Nonparametric Functions with Longitudinal Data
Longitudinal data are very common in biomedical and clinical research, for example, CD4+ cell responses and viral load responses in AIDS clinical research. It is challenging to do inference for the whole trajectory of these longitudinal data if a parametric function is not available to model the trajectories. In this paper we develop an area-under-the-curve (AUC) based nonparametric method to c...
متن کاملComparing Nonparametric Tests of Equality of Means for Randomized Block Designs
A number of nonparametric tests are compared empirically for a randomized block layout. We assess tests appropriate for when the data are not consistent with normality or when outliers invalidate traditional ANOVA tests. The objective is to assess, within this setting, tests that use ranks within blocks, the rank transform procedure that ranks the complete sample and continuous analogues of the...
متن کاملSieve Empirical Likelihood Ratio Tests for Nonparametric Functions
Generalized likelihood ratio statistics have been proposed in Fan, Zhang and Zhang [Ann. Statist. 29 (2001) 153–193] as a generally applicable method for testing nonparametric hypotheses about nonparametric functions. The likelihood ratio statistics are constructed based on the assumption that the distributions of stochastic errors are in a certain parametric family. We extend their work to the...
متن کاملNonparametric Tests for Independence
Glossary Hypothesis A hypothesis is a statement concerning the (joint) distribution underlying the observed data. Nonparametric test In contrast to a parametric test, a nonparametric test does not presume a particular parametric structure concerning the data generating process. Serial dependence Statistical dependence among time series observations.
