Consistency of restricted maximum likelihood estimators of principal components Running Title: Consistency of REML estimators
In this paper we consider two closely related problems : estimation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance kernel of functional data based on (possibly) irregular measurements, and the problem of estimating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix for high-dimensional Gaussian vectors. In Peng and Paul (2007), a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) approach has bee...

In this paper we consider two closely related problems : estimation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance kernel of functional data based on (possibly) irregular measurements, and the problem of estimating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix for high-dimensional Gaussian vectors. In [23], a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) approach has been developed to d...
متن کاملConsistency of Semiparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimators for Two-Phase Sampling
Semiparametric maximum likelihood estimators have recently been proposed for a class of two-phase, outcome-dependent sampling models. All of them were "restricted" maximum likelihood estimators, in the sense that the maximization is carried out only over distributions concentrated on the observed values of the covariate vectors. In this paper, the authors give conditions for consistency of thes...
متن کاملUniversal consistency of kernel nonparametric M-estimators
We prove that in the case of independent and identically distributed random vectors (Xi, Yi) a class of kernel type M-estimators is universally and strongly consistent for conditional M-functionals. The term universal means that the strong consistency holds for all joint probability distributions of (X, Y ). The conditional M-functional minimizes (2.2) for almost every x. In the case M(y) = |y|...
متن کاملThe Convergence of Lossy Maximum Likelihood Estimators
Given a sequence of observations (Xn)n≥1 and a family of probability distributions {Qθ}θ∈Θ, the lossy likelihood of a particular distribution Qθ given the data Xn 1 := (X1,X2, . . . ,Xn) is defined as Qθ(B(X 1 ,D)), where B(Xn 1 ,D) is the distortion-ball of radius D around the source sequence X n 1 . Here we investigate the convergence of maximizers of the lossy likelihood.
