The Gaussian rank correlation estimator: robustness properties
The Gaussian rank correlation equals the usual correlation coefficient computed from the normal scores of the data. Although its influence function is unbounded, it still has attractive robustness properties. In particular, its breakdown point is above 12%. Moreover, the estimator is consistent and asymptotically efficient at the normal distribution. The correlation matrix obtained from pairwis...
متن کاملThe Limiting Distribution of the Maximum Rank Correlation Estimator
Han’s maximum rank correlation (MRC) estimator is shown to be √ n-consistent and asymptotically normal. The proof rests on a general method for determining the asymptotic distribution of a maximization estimator, a simple U-statistic decomposition, and a uniform bound for degenerate U-processes. A consistent estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix is provided, along with a result giving t...
متن کاملThe Robustness of Estimator Composition
We formalize notions of robustness for composite estimators via the notion of a breakdown point. A composite estimator successively applies two (or more) estimators: on data decomposed into disjoint parts, it applies the first estimator on each part, then the second estimator on the outputs of the first estimator. And so on, if the composition is of more than two estimators. Informally, the bre...
متن کاملAsymptotic Properties of Pearson's Rank-Variate Correlation Coefficient under Contaminated Gaussian Model
This paper investigates the robustness properties of Pearson's rank-variate correlation coefficient (PRVCC) in scenarios where one channel is corrupted by impulsive noise and the other is impulsive noise-free. As shown in our previous work, these scenarios that frequently encountered in radar and/or sonar, can be well emulated by a particular bivariate contaminated Gaussian model (CGM). Under t...
متن کاملThe robustness of the hyperbolic efficiency estimator
In this paper we examine the robustness properties of a specific type of orientation in the context of efficiency measurement using partial frontiers. This so called unconditional hyperbolic α-quantile estimator of efficiency has been recently studied by Wheelock and Wilson (2008) and can be seen as an extension of the in-put/output methodology of partial frontiers that was introduced by Aragon...
