Local additive estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
Additive models are popular in high–dimensional regression problems because of flexibility in model building and optimality in additive function estimation. Moreover, they do not suffer from the so-called curse of dimensionality generally arising in nonparametric regression setting. Less known is the model bias incurring from the restriction to the additive class of models. We introduce a new class of estimators that reduces additive model bias and at the same time preserves some stability of the additive estimator. This estimator is shown to partially relieve the dimensionality problem as well. The new estimator is constructed by localizing the assumption of additivity and thus named local additive estimator. Implementation can be easily made with any standard software for additive regression. For detailed analysis we explicitly use the smooth backfitting estimator by Mammen, Linton and Nielsen (1999). ∗Juhyun Park was Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Email:[email protected]), Burkhardt Seifert is Professor (Email:[email protected]) in Biostatistics unit, Institute for Social and Preventive Medicine, University of Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland.

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 کاملFitting a Bivariate Additive Model by LocalPolynomial Regression
While the additive model is a popular nonparametric regression method, many of its theoretical properties are not well understood, especially when the back tting algorithm is used for computation of the the estimators. This article explores those properties when the additive model is tted by local polynomial regression. Su cient conditions guaranteeing the asymptotic existence of unique estimat...
متن کاملEstimation of AR Parameters in the Presence of Additive Contamination in the Infinite Variance Case
If we try to estimate the parameters of the AR process {Xn} using the observed process {Xn+Zn} then these estimates will be badly biased and not consistent but we can minimize the damage using a robust estimation procedure such as GM-estimation. The question is does additive contamination affect estimates of “core” parameters in the infinite variance case to the same extent that it does in the ...
متن کاملSUPER- AND SUB-ADDITIVE ENVELOPES OF AGGREGATION FUNCTIONS: INTERPLAY BETWEEN LOCAL AND GLOBAL PROPERTIES, AND APPROXIMATION
Super- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions have been recently introduced by Greco, Mesiar, Rindone and v{S}ipeky [The superadditive and the subadditive transformations of integrals and aggregation functions, {it Fuzzy Sets and Systems} {bf 291} (2016), 40--53]. In this article we give a survey of the recent development regarding the existence of aggregation functions with ...
متن کاملRobust single image noise estimation from approximate local statistics
A novel method for estimating the variance and standard deviation of the additive white Gaussian noise contained in an image will be presented. Only a single image is used to estimate the noise properties. Local image outliers are discarded, this allows us to separate the additive zero mean white Gaussian noise contained in a noisy image from the original image structure. Local variance estimat...
