Targeted maximum likelihood estimation for prediction calibration.
Estimators of the conditional expectation, i.e., prediction, function involve a global bias-variance trade off. In some cases, an estimator that yields unbiased estimates of the conditional expectation for a particular partitioning of the data may be desirable. Such estimators are calibrated with respect to the partitioning. We identify the conditional expectation given a particular partitionin...
متن کاملTargeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Pharmacoepidemiologic Research
BACKGROUND Targeted maximum likelihood estimation has been proposed for estimating marginal causal effects, and is robust to misspecification of either the treatment or outcome model. However, due perhaps to its novelty, targeted maximum likelihood estimation has not been widely used in pharmacoepidemiology. The objective of this study was to demonstrate targeted maximum likelihood estimation i...
متن کاملTargeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation using Exponential Families.
Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) is a general method for estimating parameters in semiparametric and nonparametric models. The key step in any TMLE implementation is constructing a sequence of least-favorable parametric models for the parameter of interest. This has been done for a variety of parameters arising in causal inference problems, by augmenting standard regression models ...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Weight Matrices for Targeted Homology Search
Genome annotation relies to a large extent on the recognition of homologs to already known genes. The starting point for such protocols is a collection of known sequences from one or more species, from which a model is constructed – either automatically or manually – that encodes the defining features of a single gene or a gene family. The quality of these models eventually determines the succe...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood multivariate calibration.
Two new approaches to multivariate calibration are described that, for the first time, allow information on measurement uncertainties to be included in the calibration process in a statistically meaningful way. The new methods, referred to as maximum likelihood principal components regression (MLPCR) and maximum likelihood latent root regression (MLLRR), are based on principles of maximum likel...
