General Saddlepoint Approximations of Marginal Densities and Tail Probabilities
Saddlepoint approximations of marginal densities and tail probabilities of general nonlinear statistics are derived. They are based on the expansion of the statistic up to the second order. Their accuracy is shown in a variety of examples, including logit and probit models and rank estimators for regression.
متن کاملAutoregressive Lag—Order Selection Using Conditional Saddlepoint Approximations
A new method for determining the lag order of the autoregressive polynomial in regression models with autocorrelated normal disturbances is proposed. It is based on a sequential testing procedure using conditional saddlepoint approximations and permits the desire for parsimony to be explicitly incorporated, unlike penalty-based model selection methods. Extensive simulation results indicate that...
متن کاملInference in conditional probability logic
An important field of probability logic is the investigation of inference rules that propagate point probabilities or, more generally, interval probabilities from premises to conclusions. Conditional probability logic (CPL) interprets the common sense expressions of the form “if . . . , then . . . ” by conditional probabilities and not by the probability of the material implication. An inferenc...
متن کاملConditional Probability and Defeasible Inference
We offer a probabilistic model of rational consequence relations (Lehmann and Magidor, 1990) by appealing to the extension of the classical Ramsey-Adams test proposed by Vann McGee in (McGee, 1994). Previous and influential models of non-monotonic consequence relations have been produced in terms of the dynamics of expectations (Gärdenfors and Makinson, 1994), (Gärdenfors, 1993). ‘Expectation’ ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of Multivariate Tail Conditional Expectations
Tail conditional expectations refer to the expected values of random variables conditioning on some tail events and are closely related to various coherent risk measures. In the univariate case, the tail conditional expectation is asymptotically proportional to the value-at-risk, a popular risk measure. The focus of this paper is on asymptotic relations between the multivariate tail conditional...
