Convergence Rate of K-Step Maximum Likelihood Estimate in Semiparametric Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest an iterative approach to computing K-step maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) of the parametric components in semiparametric models based on their profile likelihoods. The higher order convergence rate of K-step MLE mainly depends on the precision of its initial estimate and the convergence rate of the nuisance functional parameter in the semiparametric model. Moreover, we can show that the K-step MLE is as asymptotically efficient as the regular MLE after a finite number of iterative steps. Our theory is verified for several specific semiparametric models. Simulation studies are also presented to support these theoretical results.

Variable Selection in Semiparametric Regression Modeling By
In this paper, we are concerned with how to select significant variables in semiparametric modeling. Variable selection for semiparametric regression models consists of two components: model selection for nonparametric components and selection of significant variables for the parametric portion. Thus, semiparametric variable selection is much more challenging than parametric variable selection ...
متن کاملRidge Stochastic Restricted Estimators in Semiparametric Linear Measurement Error Models
In this article we consider the stochastic restricted ridge estimation in semipara-metric linear models when the covariates are measured with additive errors. The development of penalized corrected likelihood method in such model is the basis for derivation of ridge estimates. The asymptotic normality of the resulting estimates are established. Also, necessary and sufficient condition...

M-estimation is a widely used technique for statistical inference. In this paper, we study properties of ordinary and weighted M-estimators for semiparametric models, especially when there exist parameters that cannot be estimated at the √ n convergence rate. Results on consistency, rates of convergence for all parameters, and √ n consistency and asymptotic normality for the Euclidean parameter...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of the Partly Linear Additive Hazards Model with Current Status Data
This paper focuses on efficient estimation, optimal rates of convergence and effective algorithms in the partly linear additive hazards regression model with current status data. We use polynomial splines to estimate both cumulative baseline hazard function with monotonicity constraint and nonparametric regression functions with no such constraint. We propose a simultaneous sieve maximum likeli...
متن کاملSemiparametric Gaussian white noise models in the non-regular case
This paper deals with the behavior of some nonlinear semiparametric models in the case where the unknown nuisance function f is not necessarily differentiable. Two models are considered, in the Gaussian white noise framework: estimation of the center of symmetry and estimation of the period of a periodic signal. We obtain the rate of convergence of the sieve maximum likelihood estimators in the...
