Semiparametric Models and Likelihood-the Power of Ranks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider classes of models related to those introduced by Lehmann in 1953 and Sklar in 1959. Recently developed algorithms for finding profile NP likelihood procedures are discussed, extended and implemented for such models by combining them with the MM algorithm. In particular we consider statistical procedures for a regression model with proportional expected hazard rates, and for transformation models including the normal copula. A variety of likelihoods introduced to deal with semiparametric models are considered. They all generate rank results, not only tests, but also estimates, confidence regions, and optimality theory, thereby, to paraphrase Lehmann (1953), demonstrating ”the power of ranks”.

Ridge 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...
متن کاملInformation bounds for Gaussian copulas.
Often of primary interest in the analysis of multivariate data are the copula parameters describing the dependence among the variables, rather than the univariate marginal distributions. Since the ranks of a multivariate dataset are invariant to changes in the univariate marginal distributions, rank-based estimators are natural candidates for semiparametric copula estimation. Asymptotic informa...

We propose goodness of t tests for testing generalized linear models and semiparametric regression models against smooth alternatives The focus is on models having both continuous and factorial covariates As smooth extension of a parametric or semiparametric model we use generalized varying coe cient models as proposed by Hastie Tibshirani A likelihood ratio statistic is used for testing and as...
متن کاملGeneralized 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...
