Some Limit Theorem On Conditional U-Statistics And Censored Data Non Parametric Regression., Arusharka Sen Dr. Feb 1994

Some Limit Theorem On Conditional U-Statistics And Censored Data Non Parametric Regression., Arusharka Sen Dr.

Doctoral Theses

In Statistics, a classical problem is that of estimating the regression function which is defined as m{t) := E(Y|X = ), te R, for two random variables X and Y such that EY < 0o. The estimators are constructed iased on a sample {(Xi, Yi.)}, 1sis n,n 2 1, from the distribution of (X, Y). Throughout this thesis, we assume X and Y to be real-valued for the sake of convenience. The classical approach to this problem is to assume a parametrized, polynomial form for nt-), i.e., m(t) := Bo + E-1 P,ti, p 21, and obtain estimates of the unknown paraineters Bo, Bj,, 1sjsp. Later, with the development of techıniques for non-parametrie density estimation, it was sought to extend these techniques to regression estimation. Heuristically, the two problems can be seen to be related as follows : let fi(-) be the marginal density of X and note that E1(X S x) = h(t)dt, z € R, whereas EY 1(X Sx) = m(t)fi(t)dt, x E MR. (1.0.2) In other wordds, (1.0.1) can be looked upon as a special case of (1.0.2), with Y = 1. + similarity, as we shall see later on, has been the underlying theme in Chapters 2 and 4 of the present work.) The following non-parametric regression estimator was proposed independently by Nadaraya (1964) and Watson (1964): "(): := m.(Y,)/m.(1, ), te R, (1.0.3) where m,(Y, t) = (nan)- E-, Y;K((t - X:)/an). (1.0.4) m,(1,1) (na,)-E, K((I - X)/a,). Here K(), the so-called kernel function, is chosen to satiafy various analytical conditions (typically, K(-) is taken to be a density function), and a, 1 0 are the bandwidths which go to zero sufficiently slowly (e.g., na,0o as n00) in order to ensure consistency of the estimator mW (). The intuition behind such an estimator is that m,(Y,) is an estimator of mt-)fi() while m,(1,) cstimates the density fa(-). See Prakasa Rao (1983), Chapters 1-4. for an introduction to non-parametric density and regression estimation. Now, m(t) is a functional of the conditional distribution of Y, given X = t. A natu- ral generalisation of the regression estimation problem seems to be the estimation of the following functionals: mh(t1,....tk) := E{h(Y1,.....Yk) | X1, = t1.,Xk. = tk), (t....) € R*, k 2 1, (1.0.5) where h: R*- R is such that Elh(Y...., Y) < 0. A similar generalisation led Hoelfding (1948) from the sample mcan to the theory of so-called U-statistics, in the uncondilional set-up. The estimation of (1.0.5) were considerexl, for the first time in published form, in Stute (1991) where the following conditional U-statistics were proposed as estimators;where Fn(-) := n-1E, 1(Xi; < ) denotes the empirical distribution function (c.d.f Bochynek discussed the asymptotic normality of conditional U- and V-statistics and pei formed simulation studies on them. Stute (1991) established weak and strong pointwis consistency and asymptotic normality of U(t). Liero (1991) studied uniform strong con sistency of conditional U-statistics and established asymptotic normality of the integrate squared error (ISE) statistic:for suitable A c R* and weight function w(-). We quote the following examples to illustrate the possible use of conditional U-statistics See Stute (1991) and Bochynek (1987) for other examples. Throughout this thesis, our set up will be as foliows: {(Xn, Yn)}n>ı is a bi-variate i.i.d sequence, with (X1, Y1) having join density f(,-) and X, having marginal density fi(-). Consequently,

Teaching Introductory Statistics: A Graphical Relationship Between The Cumulative Distribution Function And The Probability Distribution Function, Dwight Adamnson, Scott Fausti Sep 1992

Teaching Introductory Statistics: A Graphical Relationship Between The Cumulative Distribution Function And The Probability Distribution Function, Dwight Adamnson, Scott Fausti

Economics Staff Paper Series

Introductory statistics textbooks typically develop the concept of continuous random variables with a discussion of only the variables' probability distribution function and omit any discussion of the cumulative distribution function. The cumulative distribution function, however, is useful in developing the concepts of a normal distribution, the standard normal distribution and the probability of a continuous random variable falls within a specific range of values since the standard normal statistical table is derived from the cumulative distribution function. This paper develops a simple graphical relationship between a continuous random variables' cumulative distribution function and its probability distribution function that can be …

Search Designs And Other Topic In Fractional Replication., Kashinath Chatterjee Dr. Dec 1990

Search Designs And Other Topic In Fractional Replication., Kashinath Chatterjee Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This thesis primarily deals with search designs (see Srivastava (1975)) of various types for general symmetric and asymmetric factorials. The thesis also considers some other types on fractional factorials. We have made use of Kronecker products and various other results from matrix theory.In the first four chapters, different types of search designs have been studied. Chapter 5A considers the construction of orthogonal main-effect plans for general factorial experiments under the presence of a linear time trend. Chapter 5B extends the calculus for factorial arrangements to a fractional factorial set-up and examines critically the proportional frequency plans from the point of …

Some Contributions To Directional Statistics: Characterixation And Asymptotics., Sumitra Purkayastha Dr.

Doctoral Theses

In many natural and physical sciences the obser- vations are in the form of directions in 2- or 3-dimensional Euclidean space or rotations of such a space. In the former case, it is tustomary to represent the observations by points on the unit ball in R2 or R3, or more.generally, Rp. In the latter case, the observations are represented by orthogonal matrices having determinant +1, or more generally, by nxp (ngp) matrices A satisfying AAt=In,i.e., by elements of Stiefel manifold. Examples .of observations on directions in 2-dimensional space include those on wind direction or on flight direction of birds, Similarly, …

Shamat: A Matrix Manipulation Program, Shahriyar Dadkhah

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This report is both a users guide and a programmers manual for running and modifying the program SHAMAT, an interactive matrix calculator. The program is written in Turbo Pascal version 3.0 for MS-DOS computers. This software enables the user to type in matrix equations for solving statistical problems such as multiple regression, analysis of variance, etc. All matrix operations necessary for linear models analysis are included in this program. Since each operation uses a separate subroutine, program enhancement, modification and updating is demonstrated to be easy.

Multisectoral Model Of Income Distribution Poverty And Growth:Some Policy Exercies For Indian Economy., Debdas Bandyopadhyay Dr. Feb 1987

Multisectoral Model Of Income Distribution Poverty And Growth:Some Policy Exercies For Indian Economy., Debdas Bandyopadhyay Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The extent of poverty in any country depends upon two factors vlz, the average level of income anxd the degree of inequality in its distribution. The central theme in the continuing debate on the relationship between growth and poverty is whether past growth process in the developing countries has caused any signi.licant benefit to the poor. Kuznets (1955) was first to observe from cross country data that procosa of development is likely to be accompanied by increase in inequality, whhich would reverse itself only at a relatively advanced stage. This hypothesis has been subsequently confirned to some extent by several …


Large Deviations For Processes With Independent Increments, James Lynch, Jayaram Sethuraman Jan 1987

Large Deviations For Processes With Independent Increments, James Lynch, Jayaram Sethuraman

Faculty Publications

Let X be a topological space and F denote the Borel σ-field in X. A family of probability measures {Pλ} is said to obey the large deviation principle (LDP) with rate function I(⋅) if Pλ(A) can be suitably approximated by exp{−λinfx∈AI(x)} for appropriate sets A in F. Here the LDP is studied for probability measures induced by stochastic processes with stationary and independent increments which have no Gaussian component. It is assumed that the moment generating function of the increments exists and thus the sample paths of such stochastic processes lie in the space of functions of bounded variation. The …
