Optimal designs for testing the functional form of a regression via nonparametric estimation techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
For the problem of checking linearity in a heteroscedastic nonparametric regression model under a fixed design assumption we study maximin designs which maximize the minimum power of a nonparametric test over a broad class of alternatives from the ...

Nonparametric Estimation IV

open access: yesThe Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1951
In the three papers, [1], [2], [3], entitled "Nonparametric estimation", Scheffe and Tukey generalized previous results on tolerance regions and extended them to cover all continuous and discontinuous distribution functions. This note contains four comments arising from these papers: first, on a method for giving bounds to the confidence level in the ...

Adaptive Estimation of Nonparametric Functionals

open access: yesJ. Mach. Learn. Res., 2016
We provide general adaptive upper bounds for estimating nonparametric functionals based on second order U-statistics arising from finite dimensional approximation of the infinite dimensional models. We then provide examples of functionals for which the theory produces rate optimally matching adaptive upper and lower bounds.

Adaptive Reduction of Curse of Dimensionality in Nonparametric Instrumental Variable Estimation

open access: yesMathematics
Nonparametric estimation of instrumental variable treatment effects typically builds on various nonparametric identification results. However, these estimators often face challenges from the curse of dimensionality in practice, as multi-dimensional ...

An Assessment of Hermite Function Based Approximations of Mutual Information Applied to Independent Component Analysis

open access: yesEntropy, 2008
At the heart of many ICA techniques is a nonparametric estimate of an information measure, usually via nonparametric density estimation, for example, kernel density estimation.

Nonparametric Range-Based Double Smoothing Spot Volatility Estimation for Diffusion Models

open access: yesComplexity, 2020
We consider nonparametric spot volatility estimation for diffusion models with discrete high frequency observations. Our estimator is carried out in two steps.

Bias Adjustment for a Nonparametric Entropy Estimator

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Zhang in 2012 introduced a nonparametric estimator of Shannon’s entropy, whose bias decays exponentially fast when the alphabet is finite. We propose a methodology to estimate the bias of this estimator.

Wind power interval prediction based on hybrid semi-cloud model and nonparametric kernel density estimation

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2022
In today’s increasingly serious world energy crisis, Renewable energy such as wind energy has gradually penetrated into life. Aiming at the uncertainty of wind power and the need of a mass of sample data in nonparametric kernel density estimation, a wind

Nonparametric Regression Estimation for Circular Data

open access: yesProceedings, 2019
Non-parametric regression with a circular response variable and a unidimensional linear regressor is a topic which was discussed in the literature.

Pre‐analytical optimization of cell‐free DNA and extracellular vesicle‐derived DNA for mutation detection in liquid biopsies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.
