Regression Model Estimation Using Least Absolute Deviations , Least Squares Deviations and Minimax Absolute Deviations Criteria
Regression models and their statistical analyses is the most important tool used by scientists in data analyses especially for modeling the relationship among random variables and making predictions with higher accuracy. A fundamental problem in the theory of errors, which has drawn attention of leading mathematicians and scientists since past few centuries, was that of fitting functions. For t...
متن کاملLeast Absolute Deviations Estimation for the Accelerated Failure Time Model
The accelerated failure time (AFT) model assumes a linear relationship between the event time and the covariates. We propose a robust weighted least-absolute-deviations (LAD) method for estimation in the AFT model with right-censored data. This method uses the Kaplan-Meier weights in the LAD objective function to account for censoring. We show that the proposed estimator is root-n consistent an...
متن کاملRobust estimation of the median lethal dose.
Alternatives to M-estimation for robust estimation of the median lethal dose in biological assays are developed. A class of link functions based on the Student-t distribution is proposed, where degrees of freedom are estimated from the data by maximum likelihood. Other alternatives include slash and finite mixture distributions. For bioassays from a pharmaceutical company, these methods extend ...
متن کاملW. NIEMIRO (Warszawa) ESTIMATION OF NUISANCE PARAMETERS FOR INFERENCE BASED ON LEAST ABSOLUTE DEVIATIONS
Statistical inference procedures based on least absolute deviations involve estimates of a matrix which plays the role of a multivariate nuisance parameter. To estimate this matrix, we use kernel smoothing. We show consistency and obtain bounds on the rate of convergence.
متن کاملRobust Nonparametric Estimation via Wavelet Median Regression
In this paper we develop a nonparametric regression method that is simultaneously adaptive over a wide range of function classes for the regression function and robust over a large collection of error distributions, including those that are heavy-tailed, and may not even possess variances or means. Our approach is to first use local medians to turn the problem of nonparametric regression with u...
