摘要：We present a procedure associated with nonlinear wavelet methods that provides adaptive confidence intervals around f(x(0)), in either a white noise model or a regression setting. A suitable modification in the truncation rule for wavelets allows construction of confidence intervals that achieve optimal coverage accuracy up to a logarithmic factor. The procedure does not require knowledge of the regularity of the unknown function f; it is also efficient for functions with a low degree of regul...

摘要：This article considers the estimation of structured correlation matrices in infinitely differentiable Gaussian random field models. The problem is essentially motivated by the stochastic modeling of smooth deterministic responses in computer experiments. In particular, the log-likelihood function is determined explicitly in closed-form and the sieve maximum likelihood estimators are shown to be strongly consistent under mild conditions.

摘要：Fixed case-control studies separately collect a case sample and a control sample with the two sample sizes being fixed prior to studies and sometimes arbitrarily chosen. This often results in loss of efficiency of case-control designs in terms of cost-saving or time-saving of the studies. We study sequential case-control designs and, in connection with treatment allocation and stochastic approximation, derive a simple sampling rule that leads to optimal case-control designs. Some important iss...

摘要：We suggest a sequential, or tracking, algorithm for estimating a smooth fault line in a response surface. The method starts with an approximation to a point on the line, and from there the line is tracked as it meanders through the plane. The technique differs from recent approaches in that it does not require a large part of the plane to be searched for evidence of a fault line. This offers potential computational savings, and produces a method that is invariant under rotations of coordinate ...

摘要：We consider the asymptotic behavior of regression estimators that minimize the residual sum of squares plus a penalty proportional to Sigma\beta (j)\(gamma) for some gamma > 0. These estimators include the Lasso as a special case when gamma = 1. Under appropriate conditions, we show that the limiting distributions can have positive probability mass at 0 when the true value of the parameter is 0. We also consider asymptotics for nearly singular designs.

摘要：Nonparametric estimators of solutions of renewal-type equations are proposed in terms of the empirical renewal function. Using the approach of Grubel and Pitts [Ann. Stat. 21 1431-1451(1993)], who studied asymptotic properties of the empirical renewal function, a number of properties of our estimators are established, including strong consistency, asymptotic normality and efficiency, and asymptotic validity of bootstrap confidence bounds. The results are illustrated by some particular examples.

摘要：The interval mapping method has been shown to be a powerful tool for mapping QTL. However, it is still a challenge to perform a simultaneous analysis of several linked QTLs, and to isolate multiple linked QTLs. To circumvent these problems, multiple regression analysis has been suggested for experimental species. In this paper, the multiple regression approach is extended to human sib-pair data through multiple regression of the squared difference in trait values between two sibs on the propor...

摘要：We study two estimators of the mean function of a counting process based on panel count data. The setting for panel count data is one in which n independent subjects, each with a counting process with common mean function, are observed at several possibly different times during a study. Following a model proposed by Schick and Yu, we allow the number of observation times, and the observation times themselves, to be random variables. Our goal is to estimate the mean function of the counting pro...

摘要：Given a sample X-1,...,X-n from a distribution F, the problem of constructing nonparametric confidence intervals for the mean mu (F) is considered. Unlike bootstrap procedures or those based on normal approximations, we insist an any procedure being truly nonparametric in the sense that the probability that the confidence interval contains mu (F) based on a sample of size n from F be at least 1 - alpha for all F and all n. Bahadur and Savage proved it is impossible to find an effective (or bou...
