Existence and symmetry of minimax regression designs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we address two important issues about minimax regression designs: existence and symmetry. These designs are robust against possible misspecification of the regression response. Existence is proved for A-optimal, D-optimal and Q-optimal minimax designs. Symmetry is proved for all D-optimal minimax designs and for some special cases of A-optimal and Q-optimal minimax designs.

On the Minimax Optimality of Block Thresholded Wavelets Estimators for ?-Mixing Process
We propose a wavelet based regression function estimator for the estimation of the regression function for a sequence of ?-missing random variables with a common one-dimensional probability density function. Some asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator based on block thresholding are investigated. It is found that the estimators achieve optimal minimax convergence rates over large class...
متن کاملRestricted minimax robust designs for misspecified regression models
The authors propose and explore new regression designs. Within a particular parametric class, these designs are minimax robust against bias caused by model misspecification while attaining reasonable levels of efficiency as well. The introduction of this restricted class of designs is motivated by a desire to avoid the mathematical and numerical intractability found in the unrestricted minimax ...

This thesis deals with the problem proposed by Ye and Zhou (2007): Is a Q-optimal minimax design still symmetric if the requirement of ∫ χ xm(x)dx = 0 is removed? We have shown that for the simple linear regression, considering only the variance, a Q-optimal minimax design is necessarily symmetric; we have also made an attempt of addressing the symmetry problem considering only the bias which i...

متن کاملRobust designs for approximately linear regression: M-estimated parameters
We obtain designs, to be used for investigations of response surfaces by regression techniques, when (i) the fitted, linear (in the parameters) response is incorrect and (ii) the parameters are to be estimated robustly. Minimax designs are determined for ‘small’ departures from the fitted response. We specialize to the case in which the experimenter fits a plane, when in fact the true response ...
