WAVELET ESTIMATION FOR JUMPS IN A HETEROSCEDASTIC REGRESSION MODEL

Wavelets are applied to detect the jumps in a heteroscedastic regression model. It is shown that the wavelet coefficients of the data have significantly large absolute values across fine scale levels near the jump points. Then a procedure is developed to estimate the jumps and jump heights. All estimators are proved to be consistent.

VARIABLE SELECTION BY PSEUDO WAVELETS IN HETEROSCEDASTIC REGRESSION MODELS INVOLVING TIME SERIES

A simple but efficient method has been proposed to select variables in heteroscedastic regression models. It is shown that the pseudo empirical wavelet coefficients corresponding to the significant explanatory variables in the regression models are clearly larger than those nonsignificant ones, on the basis of which a procedure is developed to select variables in regression models. The coefficients of the models are also estimated. All estimators are proved to be consistent.

Heteroscedastic Laplace mixture of experts regression models and applications

Mixture of Experts(MoE)regression models are widely studied in statistics and machine learning for modeling heterogeneity in data for regression,clustering and classification.Laplace distribution is one of the most important statistical tools to analyze thick and tail data.Laplace Mixture of Linear Experts(LMoLE)regression models are based on the Laplace distribution which is more robust.Similar to modelling variance parameter in a homogeneous population,we propose and study a new novel class of models:heteroscedastic Laplace mixture of experts regression models to analyze the heteroscedastic data coming from a heterogeneous population in this paper.The issues of maximum likelihood estimation are addressed.In particular,Minorization-Maximization(MM)algorithm for estimating the regression parameters is developed.Properties of the estimators of the regression coefficients are evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations.Results from the analysis of two real data sets are presented.

Simultaneous variable selection for heteroscedastic regression models

In this paper, we propose a new criterion, named PICa, to simultaneously select explanatory variables in the mean model and variance model in heteroscedastic linear models based on the model structure. We show that the new criterion can select the true mean model and a correct variance model with probability tending to 1 under mild conditions. Simulation studies and a real example are presented to evaluate the new criterion, and it turns out that the proposed approach performs well.

Heteroscedastic regression analysis method for mixed data

The heteroscedastic regression model was established and the heteroscedastic regression analysis method was presented for mixed data composed of complete data,type-Ⅰ censored data and type-Ⅱ censored data from the location-scale distribution.The best unbiased estimations of regression coefficients,as well as the confidence limits of the location parameter and scale parameter were given.Furthermore,the point estimations and confidence limits of percentiles were obtained.Thus,the traditional multiple regression analysis method which is only suitable to the complete data from normal distribution can be extended to the cases of heteroscedastic mixed data and the location-scale distribution.So the presented method has a broad range of promising applications.

ASYMPTOTIC NORMALITY OF WAVELET ESTIMATOR IN HETEROSCEDASTIC MODEL WITH α-MIXING ERRORS

Consider heteroscedastic regression model Yni= g（xni） ＋ σniεni （1 〈 i 〈 n）, where σ2ni= f（uni）, the design points （xni, uni） are known and nonrandom, g（.） and f（.） are unknown functions defined on closed interval [0, 1], and the random errors （εni, 1 ≤i≤ n） axe assumed to have the same distribution as （ξi, 1 ≤ i ≤ n）, which is a stationary and a-mixing time series with Eξi =0. Under appropriate conditions, we study asymptotic normality of wavelet estimators of g（.） and f（.）. Finite sample behavior of the estimators is investigated via simulations, too.

Wavelet Estimation in Heteroscedastic Model Under Censored Samples

Consider the heteroscedastic regression model Yi = g（xi） ＋ σiei, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, where σi^2 = f（ui）, here （xi, ui） being fixed design points, g and f being unknown functions defined on [0, 1], ei being independent random errors with mean zero. Assuming that Yi are censored randomly and the censored distribution function is known or unknown, we discuss the rates of strong uniformly convergence for wavelet estimators of g and f, respectively. Also, the asymptotic normality for the wavelet estimators of g is investigated.
