A bootstrap estimator for the Student-t regression model
نویسنده
چکیده
The Student-t regression model suffers from monotone likelihood. This means that the likelihood achieves its maximum value at infinite values of one or more of the parameters, in this case the unknown degrees of freedom. This leads to problems when one uses iterative algorithms to locate the solutions to the non-linear equations generated by the likelihood. Fonseca et al. (2008) deal with this problem by using the Jeffreys priors. We implement a bootstrap estimator which is based on resampling the data until samples without monotone likelihood are encountered. Results from this analysis will be presented.

Bootstrap Confidence Bands for the Autoregression Function
We derive a strong approximation of a local polynomial estimator (LPE) in nonparametric autoregression by an LPE in a corresponding nonparame-tric regression model. This generally suggests the application of regression-typical tools for statistical inference in nonparametric autoregressive models. It provides an important simpliication for the bootstrap method to be used: It is enough to mimic ...

‎In this article‎, ‎we develop two nonparametric smoothing estimators for parameter of a time-variant parametric model‎. ‎This parameter can be from any parametric family or from any parametric or semi-parametric regression model‎. ‎Estimation is based on a two-step procedure‎, ‎in which we first get the raw estimate of the parameter at a set of disjoint time...

In the restricted elliptical linear model, an approximation for the risk of a general shrinkage estimator of the regression vector-parameter is given. Superiority condition of the shrinkage estimator over the restricted estimator is investigated under the elliptical assumption. It is evident from numerical results that the shrinkage estimator performs better than the unrestricted one...
متن کاملOn the Second Order Behaviour of the Bootstrap of L_1 Regression Estimators
We consider the second-order asymptotic properties of the bootstrap of L_1 regression estimators by looking at the difference between the L_1 estimator and its first-order approximation, where the latter is the minimizer of a quadratic approximation to the L_1 objective function. It is shown that the bootstrap distribution of the normed difference does not converge (eit...
متن کاملA New Nonparametric Regression for Longitudinal Data
In many area of medical research, a relation analysis between one response variable and some explanatory variables is desirable. Regression is the most common tool in this situation. If we have some assumptions for such normality for response variable, we could use it. In this paper we propose a nonparametric regression that does not have normality assumption for response variable and we focus ...
