Parameter Estimation of the Partially Linear Quantile Regression Model Under Monotonic Constraints

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The paper brings forward the partially linear quantile regression model by incorporating monotonic constraints, which are common in real‐world relationships between variables. It introduces two novel parameter estimation methods, that is, the coordinate descent method and the profile likelihood method, which eliminate the extensive tuning and simplify ...

On kernel-based estimation of conditional Kendall’s tau: finite-distance bounds and asymptotic behavior

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2019
We study nonparametric estimators of conditional Kendall’s tau, a measure of concordance between two random variables given some covariates. We prove non-asymptotic pointwise and uniform bounds, that hold with high probabilities.

Asymptotic optimality of a multivariate version of the generalized cross validation in adaptive smoothing splines

open access: yes, 2014
We consider an adaptive smoothing spline with a piecewiseconstant penalty function λ(x), in which a univariate smoothing parameter λ in the classic smoothing spline is converted into an adaptive multivariate parameter λ.

Estimation of the tail-index in a conditional location-scale family of heavy-tailed distributions

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2019
We introduce a location-scale model for conditional heavy-tailed distributions when the covariate is deterministic. First, nonparametric estimators of the location and scale functions are introduced.

About tests of the “simplifying” assumption for conditional copulas

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2017
We discuss the so-called “simplifying assumption” of conditional copulas in a general framework. We introduce several tests of the latter assumption for non- and semiparametric copula models.

Tree-based conditional copula estimation

open access: yesDependence Modeling
This article proposes a regression tree procedure to estimate conditional copulas. The associated algorithm determines classes of observations based on covariate values and fits a simple parametric copula model on each class.

Causal additive models with smooth backfitting

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference
A fully nonparametric approach to learning causal structures from observational data is proposed. The method is described in the setting of additive structural equation models with a link to causal inference.

Conservative inference for counterfactuals

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference
In causal inference, the joint law of a set of counterfactual random variables is generally not identified. But many interesting quantities are functions of the joint distribution.

Modeling factors affecting poverty in Nusa Tenggara using the multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) method

open access: yesMajalah Ilmiah Matematika dan Statistika
Poverty is still a fundamental problem in the economy of various regions or developing countries, including Indonesia. The Nusa Tenggara Islands are one of the regions in Central Indonesia, where East Nusa Tenggara Province is in 3rd place with 20.44 ...
