Consistency of Regression
نویسنده
چکیده
For a general univariate "errors-in-variables" model, the maxiIm.nn likelihood estimate of the parameter vector (assuming normality of the errors), which has been described in the literature, can be expressed in an alternative form. In this form, the estimate is computationally simpler, and deeper investigation of its properties is facilitated. In particular, we demonstrate that, under conditions a good deal less restrictive than those which have been previously assumed, the estimate is weakly consistent.

Determining the Internal consistency of the Functional Movement Screen test in students
Functional Movement Screen Test is one of the tests used to identify asymmetries and limitations in basic and fundamental movements. For time management and fast execution of this test, some researchers have suggested reducing the number of tests. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the internal consistency and correlation between components of this test. The present study was a...
متن کاملConsistency of the posterior distribution and MLE for piecewise linear regression
We prove the weak consistency of the posterior distribution and that of the Bayes estimator for a two-phase piecewise linear regression mdoel where the break-point is unknown. The non-differentiability of the likelihood of the model with regard to the break-point parameter induces technical difficulties that we overcome by creating a regularised version of the problem at hand. We first recover ...
متن کاملConsistency Analysis of an Empirical Minimum Error Entropy Algorithm
In this paper we study the consistency of an empirical minimum error entropy (MEE) algorithm in a regression setting. We introduce two types of consistency. The error entropy consistency, which requires the error entropy of the learned function to approximate the minimum error entropy, is shown to be always true if the bandwidth parameter tends to 0 at an appropriate rate. The regression consis...
متن کاملConsistency of ℓ1-regularized maximum-likelihood for compressive Poisson regression
We consider Poisson regression with the canonical link function. This regression model is widely used in regression analysis involving count data; one important application in electrical engineering is transmission tomography. In this paper, we establish the variable selection consistency and estimation consistency of the `1-regularized maximum-likelihood estimator in this regression model, and...
متن کاملPosterior Consistency in Nonparametric Regression Problems under Gaussian Process Priors
Posterior consistency can be thought of as a theoretical justification of the Bayesian method. One of the most popular approaches to nonparametric Bayesian regression is to put a nonparametric prior distribution on the unknown regression function using Gaussian processes. In this paper, we study posterior consistency in nonparametric regression problems using Gaussian process priors. We use an ...
متن کاملPosterior Consistency of Bayesian Nonparametric Models Using Lévy Random Field Priors
Department of Statistical Science, Duke University March 24, 2008 We show the posterior consistency of certain nonparametric regression models using Lévy Random field priors. An easily verifiable sufficient condition is derived for the posterior consistency to hold in popular models which use Lévy random fields for regression and function estimation. We apply our results to a Poisson regression...
