摘要:This paper studies a class of default priors, which we call single observation unbiased priors (SOUP). A prior for a parameter is a SOUP if the corresponding posterior mean of the parameter based on a single observation is an unbiased estimator of the parameter. We prove that, under mild regularity conditions, a default prior for a convolution parameter is noninformative in the sense of yielding a posterior inference invariant under amalgamation only if it is a SOUP. Therefore, when amalgamati...

摘要:Statistical models defined by imposing restrictions on marginal distributions of contingency tables have received considerable attention recently. This paper introduces a general definition of marginal log-linear parameters and describes conditions for a marginal log-linear parameter to be a smooth parameterization of the distribution and to be variation independent. Statistical models defined by imposing affine restrictions on the marginal log-linear parameters are investigated. These models ...

摘要:When studying the training error and the prediction error for boosting, it is often assumed that the hypotheses returned by the base learner are weakly accurate, or are able to beat a random guesser by a certain amount of difference. It has been an open question how much this difference can be. whether it will eventually disappear in the boosting process or be bounded by a positive amount. This question is crucial for the behavior of both the training error and the prediction error. In this pa...

摘要:A first general principle and nowadays state of the art for the construction of powerful multiple test procedure, controlling a multiple level alpha is the so-called closure principle. In this article we introduce another powerful tool for the construction of multiple decision procedures. especially for the construction of multiple test procedure, and,election procedure. This tool is based on a partition of the parameter space and will be called partitioning principle (PP). In the first part o...

摘要:We consider a model problem of recovering a function f (x(1), x(2)) from noisy Radon data. The function f to be recovered is assumed smooth apart from a discontinuity along a C-2 curve, that is, an edge. We use the continuum white-noise model, with noise level epsilon. Traditional linear methods for solving such inverse problems behave poorly in the presence of edges. Qualitatively, the reconstructions are blurred near the edges; quantitatively, they give in our model mean squared errors (MSEs...

摘要:In many situations regression analysis is mostly concerned with inferring about the conditional mean of the response given the predictors, and less concerned with the other aspects of the conditional distribution. In this paper we develop dimension reduction methods that incorporate this consideration. We introduce the notion of the Central Mean Subspace (CMS), a natural inferential object for dimension reduction when the mean function is of interest. We study properties of the CMS, and develo...

摘要:Spectral estimation of nonstationary but harmonizable processes is considered. Given a single realization of the process, periodogram-like and consistent estimators are proposed for spectral mass estimation when the spectral support of the process consists of lines. Such a process can arise in signals of a moving source from array data or multipath signals with Doppler stretch from a single receiver. Such processes also include periodically correlated (or cyclostationary) and almost periodical...

摘要:We suggest two new, translation-based methods for estimating and correcting for bias when estimating the edge of a distribution. The first uses an empirical translation applied to the argument of the kernel, in order to remove the main effects of the asymmetries that are inherent when constructing estimators at boundaries. Placing the translation inside the kernel is in marked contrast to traditional approaches, such as the use of high-order kernels, which are related to the jackknife and, in ...
