Estimation and tests of independence in copula models via divergences
We introduce new estimates and tests of independence in copula models with unknown margins using φ-divergences and the duality technique. The asymptotic laws of the estimates and the test statistics are established both when the parameter is an interior point or not.
متن کاملAPPROXIMATION AND ESTIMATION OF s-CONCAVE DENSITIES VIA RÉNYI DIVERGENCES.
In this paper, we study the approximation and estimation of s-concave densities via Rényi divergence. We first show that the approximation of a probability measure Q by an s-concave density exists and is unique via the procedure of minimizing a divergence functional proposed by [Ann. Statist.38 (2010) 2998-3027] if and only if Q admits full-dimensional support and a first moment. We also show c...
متن کاملOn the Estimation of alpha-Divergences
We propose new nonparametric, consistent Rényi-α and Tsallis-α divergence estimators for continuous distributions. Given two independent and identically distributed samples, a “naïve” approach would be to simply estimate the underlying densities and plug the estimated densities into the corresponding formulas. Our proposed estimators, in contrast, avoid density estimation completely, estimating...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic parameters of litter size in Moghani sheep using threshold model via Bayesian approach
This study was conducted to estimate the genetic parameters of litter size (LS) in Moghani sheep using threshold model via Bayesian approach. The data originated from the Jafar-Abad Station of Ardabil province, Iran, and included 9698 lactation records of 4977 ewes with lambings from 1995 until 2010. The pedigree file consisted of data on animals born from 1987 to 2010. The significance of fixe...
متن کاملBayesian parameter estimation via variational methods
We consider a logistic regression model with a Gaussian prior distribution over the parameters. We show that an accurate variational transformation can be used to obtain a closed form approximation to the posterior distribution of the parameters thereby yielding an approximate posterior predictive model. This approach is readily extended to binary graphical model with complete observations. For...
