Estimating Parameters in the Presence of Many Nuisance Parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers estimation of parameters for high-dimensional time series with the presence of many nuisance parameters. In particular we are interested in data consisting of p time series of length n, with p to be as large or even larger than n. Here we consider the composite-likelihood estimation and the profile quasi-likelihood estimation. The asymptotic properties of these methodologies are investigated. Simulations are used to illustrate our both of these methods and explore the performance of these methods.

Motion Parameter Estimation from Optical Flow without Nuisance Parameters
Many kinds of computer vision problems can be formalized as statistical estimation problems with nuisance parameters. In the past, such problems have been solved without making any distinction between the nuisance parameters and structural ones. However, a theory of statistics suggests that eliminating the nuisance parameters by assuming a probability distribution on them improves estimation ac...
متن کاملOn Bartlett Correction of Empirical Likelihood in the Presence of Nuisance Parameters
Lazar & Mykland (1999) showed that an empirical likelihood defined by two estimating equations with a nuisance parameter need not be Bartlett correctable. This paper shows that Bartlett correction of empirical likelihood in the presence of a nuisance parameter depends critically on the way the nuisance parameter is removed when formulating the likelihood for the parameter of interest. We establ...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of a Natural Parameter for a One-Sided TEF
In the presence of nuisance parameters, the asymptotic loss of the maximum likelihood estimator of an interest parameter was discussed by Akahira and Takeuchi (1982) and Akahira (1986) under suitable regularity conditions from the viewpoint of higher order asymptotics. On the other hand, in statistical estimation in multiparameter cases, the conditional likelihood method is well known as a way ...

متن کاملRobust modified profile estimating function with application to the generalized estimating equation
We consider methods for reducing the effects of fitting nuisance parameters on a general estimating function, when the estimating function depends on not only a vector of parameters of interest, θ, but also a vector of nuisance parameters, λ. We propose a class of modified profile estimating functions with plug-in bias reduced by two orders. A robust version of the adjustment term does not requ...
