Nonparametric estimation and symmetry tests for conditional density functions
We suggest two improved methods for conditional density estimation. The first is based on locally fitting a log-linear model, and is in the spirit of recent work on locally parametric techniques in density estimation. The second method is a constrained local polynomial estimator. Both methods always produce non-negative estimators. We propose an algorithm suitable for selecting the two bandwidt...
متن کاملNonparametric Tests for Conditional Independence Using Conditional Distributions∗
The concept of causality is naturally defined in terms of conditional distribution, however almost all the empirical works focus on causality in mean. This paper aim to propose a nonparametric statistic to test the conditional independence and Granger non-causality between two variables conditionally on another one. The test statistic is based on the comparison of conditional distribution funct...
متن کاملNonparametric symmetry tests for statistical functionals
Dedicated to the 70th birthday of Johann Pfanzagl Summary. Along the lines of Pfanzagl's work the testing theory for the non-parametric null hypothesis of symmetry (including matched pairs) is developed. The testing problem is typically given by a skew symmetric statistical functional which seems to be adequate for the nonparametric world. Under mild regularity assumptions asymptotically maximi...
متن کاملNonparametric tests of conditional treatment effects
We develop a general class of nonparametric tests for treatment effects conditional on covariates. We consider a wide spectrum of null and alternative hypotheses regarding conditional treatment effects, including (i) the null hypothesis of the conditional stochastic dominance between treatment and control groups; (ii) the null hypothesis that the conditional average treatment effect is positive...
متن کاملNonparametric tests for conditional independence in two-way contingency tables
Consider a two-way contingency table, built on two categorical variables R and S. A fundamental question in this context is whether R and S are independent or not. This over-studied testing problem mostly relies on the chi-square or the likelihood ratio test statistics. The principal drawback of the classical way of doing is that probabilities for an individual to fall in a cell of the table ar...
