Copula-Based Regression Estimation and Inference
In this paper we investigate a new approach of estimating a regression function based on copulas. The main idea behind this approach is to write the regression function in terms of a copula and marginal distributions. Once the copula and the marginal distributions are estimated we use the plug-in method to construct the new estimator. Because various methods are available in the literature for ...
متن کاملHigh-Dimensional Gaussian Copula Regression: Adaptive Estimation and Statistical Inference
We develop adaptive estimation and inference methods for high-dimensional Gaussian copula regression that achieve the same optimal performance without the knowledge of the marginal transformations as that for high-dimensional linear regression. Using a Kendall’s tau based covariance matrix estimator, an `1 regularized estimator is proposed and a corresponding de-biased estimator is developed fo...
متن کاملConstrained Nonparametric Kernel Regression: Estimation and Inference
Abstract. Restricted kernel regression methods have recently received much well-deserved attention. Powerful methods have been proposed for imposing monotonicity on the resulting estimate, a condition often dictated by theoretical concerns; see Hall, Huang, Gifford & Gijbels (2001) and Hall & Huang (2001), among others. However, to the best of our knowledge, there does not exist a simple yet ge...
متن کاملInference-less Density Estimation using Copula Bayesian Networks
We consider learning continuous probabilistic graphical models in the face of missing data. For non-Gaussian models, learning the parameters and structure of such models depends on our ability to perform efficient inference, and can be prohibitive even for relatively modest domains. Recently, we introduced the Copula Bayesian Network (CBN) density model a flexible framework that captures comple...
متن کاملNonparametric Threshold Regression: Estimation and Inference∗
The present work describes a simple approach to estimating the location of a threshold/change point in a nonparametric regression. This model has connections both to the time-series and regression discontinuity literatures. The estimator leverages a simple decomposition, giving it the form of a semiparametric smooth coefficient model. Optimal bandwidth selection and a suite of testing facilitie...
