Exact Nonparametric Inference for a Binary Endogenous Regressor
This paper describes a randomization-based estimation and inference procedure for the distribution or quantiles of potential outcomes with a binary treatment and instrument. The method imposes no parametric model for the treatment effect, and remains valid for small n, a weak instrument, or inference on tail quantiles, when conventional large-sample methods break down. The method is illustrated...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of location and scale parameters
Two random variables X and Y belong to the same location-scale family if there are constants μ and σ such that Y and μ + σX have the same distribution. In this paper we consider non-parametric estimation of the parameters μ and σ under minimal assumptions regarding the form of the distribution functions of X and Y . We discuss an approach to the estimation problem that is based on asymptotic li...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation via Convex Programming
In the paper, we focus primarily on the problem of recovering a linear form g x of unknown “signal” x known to belong to a given convex compact set X ⊂ R from N independent realizations of a random variable ι taking values in a finite set, the distribution p of ι being affinely parameterized by x: p = Ax + b. With no additional assumptions on X and A, we develop minimax optimal, within an absol...
متن کاملClustering via nonparametric density estimation: an application to microarray data
Cluster analysis is a crucial tool in several biological and medical studies dealing with microarray data. Such studies pose challenging statistical problems due to dimensionality issues, being the number of variables much higher than the number of observations. Here, we present a novel approach to clustering of microarray data via nonparametric density estimation, based on the following steps:...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of the Peak Location in a Response Surface
We explore a nonparametric version of response surface analysis. Estimates for the location where maximum response occurs are proposed and their asymptotic distribution is investigated. The proposed estimates are based on kernel and local least squares methods. We construct asymptotic confidence regions for the location. The methods are illustrated for the two-dimensional case with AIDS inciden...
