Sequential Fixed-width Confidence Bands for Kernel Regression Estimation
We consider a random design model based on independent and identically distributed (iid) pairs of observations (Xi, Yi), where the regression function m(x) is given by m(x) = E(Yi|Xi = x) with one independent variable. In a nonparametric setting the aim is to produce a reasonable approximation to the unknown function m(x) when we have no precise information about the form of the true density, f...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for Nonparametric Regression
In non-parametric function estimation, providing a confidence interval with the right coverage is a challenging problem. This is especially the case when the underlying function has a wide range of unknown degrees of smoothness. Here we propose two methods of constructing an average coverage confidence interval built from block shrinkage estimation methods. One is based on the James-Stein shrin...
متن کاملGuaranteed Conservative Fixed Width Confidence Intervals Via Monte Carlo Sampling
Monte Carlo methods are used to approximate the means, μ , of random variables Y , whose distributions are not known explicitly. The key idea is that the average of a random sample, Y1, . . . ,Yn, tends to μ as n tends to infinity. This article explores how one can reliably construct a confidence interval for μ with a prescribed half-width (or error tolerance) ε . Our proposed two-stage algorit...
متن کاملAn Adaptation Theory for Nonparametric Confidence Intervals
A nonparametric adaptation theory is developed for the construction of confidence intervals for linear functionals. A between class modulus of continuity captures the expected length of adaptive confidence intervals. Sharp lower bounds are given for the expected length and an ordered modulus of continuity is used to construct adaptive confidence procedures which are within a constant factor of ...
متن کاملNonparametric Confidence Intervals for Monotone Functions
We study nonparametric isotonic confidence intervals for monotone functions. In [1] pointwise confidence intervals, based on likelihood ratio tests for the restricted and unrestricted MLE in the current status model, are introduced. We extend the method to the treatment of other models with monotone functions, and demonstrate our method by a new proof of the results in [1] and also by construct...
