Semiparametric regression and model refining

Semiparametric Poisson Regression Model for Clustered Data

A semiparametric Poisson regression is proposed in modeling spatially clustered count data. The heterogeneous covariate effect across the clusters is formulated in the context of nonparametric regression while the random clustering effect is based on a parametric specification. We propose two estimation procedures: (1) the parametric and nonparametric parts are estimated simultaneously via pena...

A Semiparametric Regression Model For Oligonucleotide Arrays

Semiparametric Regression

Semiparametric regression is concerned with the flexible incorporation of nonlinear functional relationships in regression analyses. Any application area that uses regression analysis can benefit from semiparametric regression. Assuming only a basic familiarity with ordinary parametric regression, this user-friendly book explains the techniques and benefits of semiparametric regression in a con...

Generalized Ridge Regression Estimator in Semiparametric Regression Models

In the context of ridge regression, the estimation of ridge (shrinkage) parameter plays an important role in analyzing data. Many efforts have been put to develop skills and methods of computing shrinkage estimators for different full-parametric ridge regression approaches, using eigenvalues. However, the estimation of shrinkage parameter is neglected for semiparametric regression models. The m...

Model and Variable Selection Procedures for Semiparametric Time Series Regression

Semiparametric regression models are very useful for time series analysis. They facilitate the detection of features resulting from external interventions. The complexity of semiparametric models poses new challenges for issues of nonparametric and parametric inference and model selection that frequently arise from time series data analysis. In this paper, we propose penalized least squares est...
