In this work, we derive an alternative analytic expression for the covariance matrix of the regression coefficients in a multiple linear regression model. In contrast to the well-known expressions which make use of the cross-product matrix and hence require access to individual data, we express the covariance matrix of the regression coefficients directly in terms of covariance matrix of the explanatory variables. In particular, we show that the covariance matrix of the regression coefficients can be calculated using the matrix of the partial correlation coefficients of the explanatory variables, which in turn can be calculated easily from the correlation matrix of the explanatory variables. This is very important since the covariance matrix of the explanatory variables can be easily obtained or imputed using data from the literature, without requiring access to individual data. Two important applications of the method are discussed, namely the multivariate meta-analysis of regression coefficients and the so-called synthesis analysis, and the aim of which is to combine in a single predictive model, information from different variables. The estimator proposed in this work can increase the usefulness of these methods providing better results, as seen by application in a publicly available dataset.

Investigation of the dynamic phenomena taking place in the network, determination of the structure of the network and community and description of the interactions between various elements of the network are the key issues in network analysis. One of the huge network structure challenges is the identification of the node(s) with an outstanding structural position within the network. The popular method for doing this is to calculate a measure of centrality. We examine node centrality measures such as degree, closeness, eigenvector, Katz and subgraph centrality for undirected networks. We show how the Katz centrality can be turned into degree and eigenvector centrality by considering limiting cases. Some existing centrality measures are linked to matrix functions. We extend this idea and examine the centrality measures based on general matrix functions and in particular, the logarithmic, cosine, sine, and hyperbolic functions. We also explore the concept of generalised Katz centrality. Various experiments are conducted for different networks generated by using random graph models. The results show that the logarithmic function in particular has potential as a centrality measure. Similar results were obtained for real-world networks.展开更多

It is well known that in order to apply the semiparametric least squares estimation (SLSE) to make statistical inference a consistent estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix is needed. The traditional residual-based estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix is not consistent when the errors are heteroscedastic and/or serially correlated. In this paper we propose a new estimator by truncating, which is an extension of the procedure in White. This estimator is shown to be consistent when the truncating parameter converges to infinity with some rate.展开更多

Expressions of exact covarianee matrix of the TSE obtained by using all and some covariables in eovariance adjustment approach are given, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the TSE to be superior to the least square estimate and related large sample test is also established. Furthermore the TSE, by using some covariables, is expressed as weighted least square estimate. Basing on this fact, a necessary and sufficient condition for the TSE by using some covariables to be superior to the TSE by using all eovariables is obtained. These results give us some insight into the selection of covariables in the TSE and its application.展开更多

文摘When an independent estimate of covariance matrix is available, we often prefer two-stage estimate (TSE). Expressions of exact covarianee matrix of the TSE obtained by using all and some covariables in eovariance adjustment approach are given, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the TSE to be superior to the least square estimate and related large sample test is also established. Furthermore the TSE, by using some covariables, is expressed as weighted least square estimate. Basing on this fact, a necessary and sufficient condition for the TSE by using some covariables to be superior to the TSE by using all eovariables is obtained. These results give us some insight into the selection of covariables in the TSE and its application.
