Improving Efficient Marginal Estimators in Bivariate Models with Parametric Marginals
نویسنده
چکیده
Suppose we have data from a bivariate model with parametric marginals. Efficient estimators of the parameters in the marginal models are generally not efficient in the bivariate model. In this article, we propose a method of improving these marginal estimators and demonstrate that the magnitude of this improvement can be as large as 100 percent in some cases.

Efficient estimators for functionals of Markov chains with parametric marginals
Suppose we observe a geometrically ergodic Markov chain with a parametric model for the marginal, but no (further) information about the transition distribution. Then the empirical estimator for a linear functional of the joint law of two successive observations is no longer efficient. We construct an improved estimator and show that it is efficient. The construction is similar to a recent one ...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of Linear Functionals of a Bivariate Distribution with Equal, but Unknown, Marginals: the Least Squares Approach
In this paper we characterize and construct efficient estimators of linear functionals of a bivariate distribution with equal marginals. An efficient estimator equals the empirical estimator minus a correction term and provides significant improvements over the empirical estimator. We construct an efficient estimator by estimating the correction term. For this we use the least squares principle...
متن کاملLocally Efficient Estimation in Censored Data Models: Theory and Examples
In many applications the observed data can be viewed as a censored high dimensional full data random variable X . By the curse of dimensionality it is typically not possible to construct estimators which are asymptotically efficient at every probability distribution in a semiparametric censored data model of such a high dimensional censored data structure. We provide a general method for constr...
متن کاملEstimating a Bivariate Density When There Are Extra Data on One or Both Components
Assume we have a dataset, Z say, from the joint distribution of random variables X and Y , and two further, independent datasets, X and Y , from the marginal distributions of X and Y , respectively. We wish to combine X , Y and Z, so as to construct an estimator of the joint density. This problem is readily solved in some parametric circumstances. For example, if the joint distribution were nor...
متن کاملA note on nonparametric estimation of bivariate tail dependence
Nonparametric estimation of tail dependence can be based on a standardization of the marginals if their cumulative distribution functions are known. In this paper it is shown to be asymptotically more efficient if the additional knowledge of the marginals is ignored and estimators are based on ranks. The discrepancy between the two estimators is shown to be substantial for the popular Clayton m...
