Quadratic functional estimation in inverse problems [PDF]
We consider in this paper a Gaussian sequence model of observations $Y_i$, $i\geq 1$ having mean (or signal) $\theta_i$ and variance $\sigma_i$ which is growing polynomially like $i^\gamma$, $\gamma >0$.

Empirical likelihood for quantile regression models with response data missing at random
This paper studies quantile linear regression models with response data missing at random. A quantile empirical-likelihood-based method is proposed firstly to study a quantile linear regression model with response data missing at random.

Nonparametric density estimators based on nonstationary absolutely regular random sequences
In this paper, the central limit theorems for the density estimator and for the integrated square error are proved for the case when the underlying sequence of random variables is nonstationary. Applications to Markov processes and ARMA processes are provided.

There is a long-standing debate in the statistical, epidemiological, and econometric fields as to whether nonparametric estimation that uses machine learning in model fitting confers any meaningful advantage over simpler, parametric approaches in finite ...

A new simulation estimator of system reliability
A basic identity is proven and applied to obtain new simulation estimators concerning (a) system reliability, (b) a multi‐valued system. We show that the variance of this new estimator is often of the order α2 when the usual raw estimator has variance of the order α and α is small.

A note on efficient minimum cost adjustment sets in causal graphical models
We study the selection of adjustment sets for estimating the interventional mean under an individualized treatment rule. We assume a non-parametric causal graphical model with, possibly, hidden variables and at least one adjustment set composed of ...

Estimation of Gini Index within Pre-Specied Error Bound [PDF]
Gini index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. This article develops a general theory for constructing a confidence interval for Gini index with a specified confidence coefficient and a specified width.

2D score-based estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects
Statisticians show growing interest in estimating and analyzing heterogeneity in causal effects in observational studies. However, there usually exists a trade-off between accuracy and interpretability for developing a desirable estimator for treatment ...

Geometric View of Measurement Errors [PDF]
The slope of the best fit line from minimizing the sum of the squared oblique errors is the root of a polynomial of degree four. This geometric view of measurement errors is used to give insight into the performance of various slope estimators for the ...
