Confidence Sets Based on Penalized Maximum Likelihood Estimators
Confidence intervals based on penalized maximum likelihood estimators such as the LASSO, adaptive LASSO, and hard-thresholding are analyzed. In the known-variance case, the finite-sample coverage properties of such intervals are determined and it is shown that symmetric intervals are the shortest. The length of the shortest intervals based on the hard-thresholding estimator is larger than the l...

متن کاملOn the Maximum Likelihood Estimators for some Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution
Abstract. In this paper we consider some four-parametric, so-called Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution, which have been constructed using stochastic Birth-Death Process in order to model phenomena arising in Bioinformatics (Astola and Danielian, 2007). As examples, two ”real data” sets on the number of proteins and number of residues for analyzing such distribution are given. The co...
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.
متن کاملAsymptotic Distributions of Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimators
Asymptotic properties of MLEs and QMLEs of mixed regressive, spatial autoregressive models are investigated. The stochastic rates of convergence of the MLE and QMLE for such models may be less than the √ n-rate under some circumstances even though its limiting distribution is asymptotically normal. When spatially varying regressors are relevant, the MLE and QMLE of the mixed regressive, autoreg...
