چکیده
This article describes the asymptotic properties of local polynomial regression estimators for univariate and additive models when observation weights are included. The implications of these ndings are discussed for local scoring estimators, a widely used class of estimators for generalized additive models described in Hastie and Tibshirani (1990).

A Note on Local Scoring and Weighted Local Polynomial Regression in Generalized Additive Models
This article describes the asymptotic properties of local polynomial regression estimators for univariate and additive models when observation weights are included. Such weighted additive models are a crucial component of local scoring, the widely used estimation algorithm for generalized additive models described in Hastie and Tibshirani (1990). The statistical properties of the univariate loc...
متن کاملGlobal Bahadur representation for nonparametric censored regression quantiles and its applications
This paper is concerned with the nonparametric estimation of regression quantiles where the response variable is randomly censored. Using results on the strong uniform convergence of U-processes, we derive a global Bahadur representation for the weighted local polynomial estimators, which is sufficiently accurate for many further theoretical analyses including inference. We consider two applica...
متن کاملComparison of Geographically Weighted Regression and Regression Kriging to Estimate the Spatial Distribution of Aboveground Biomass of Zagros Forests
Aboveground biomass (AGB) of forests is an essential component of the global carbon cycle. Mapping above-ground biomass is important for estimating CO2 emissions, and planning and monitoring of forests and ecosystem productivity. Remote sensing provides wide observations to monitor forest coverage, the Landsat 8 mission provides valuable opportunities for quantifying the distribution of above-g...
متن کاملOrthogonalized smoothing for rescaled spike and slab models
Rescaled spike and slab models are a new Bayesian variable selection method for linear regression models. In high dimensional orthogonal settings such models have been shown to possess optimal model selection properties. We review background theory and discuss applications of rescaled spike and slab models to prediction problems involving orthogonal polynomials. We first consider global smoothi...
متن کاملComparison of approaches for estimating reliability of individual regression predictions
The paper compares different approaches to estimate the reliability of individual predictions in regression. We compare the sensitivity-based reliability estimates developed in our previous work with four approaches found in the literature: variance of bagged models, local cross-validation, density estimation, and local modeling. By combining pairs of individual estimates, we compose a combined...
