A modified least-squares regression approach to the estimation of risk difference.
Risk ratio and risk difference are parameters of interest in many medical studies. The risk ratio has a property that the value for the outcome Y = 0 is not the inverse of the risk ratio for the outcome Y = 1. This property makes risk ratios inappropriate in some situations. Estimation of risk difference often encounters the problem that the binomial regression model fails to converge. Recently...

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولNonparametric regression estimation using penalized least squares
We present multivariate penalized least squares regression estimates. We use Vapnik{ Chervonenkis theory and bounds on the covering numbers to analyze convergence of the estimates. We show strong consistency of the truncated versions of the estimates without any conditions on the underlying distribution.

15 صفحه اولConstrained Least-Squares Density-Difference Estimation
We address the problem of estimating the difference between two probability densities. A naive approach is a two-step procedure that first estimates two densities separately and then computes their difference. However, such a two-step procedure does not necessarily work well because the first step is performed without regard to the second step and thus a small error in the first stage can cause...
