Why the phylogenetic regression appears robust to tree misspecification.
The phylogenetic comparative method uses estimates of evolutionary relationships to explicitly model the covariance structure of interspecific data. By accounting for common ancestry, the coevolution between 2 or more traits, as a response to one another or to environmental variables, can be studied without confounding similarities due to identity by descent. Because the true phylogeny is unkno...
متن کاملRobust control and model misspecification
A decision maker fears that data are generated by a statistical perturbation of an approximating model that is either a controlled diffusion or a controlled measure over continuous functions of time. A perturbation is constrained in terms of its relative entropy. Several different two-player zero-sum games that yield robust decision rules and are related to one another, to the max-min expected ...
متن کاملMisspecification in Linear Spatial Regression Models
Spatial effects are endemic in models based on spatially referenced data. The increased awareness of the relevance of spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification and estimation of regression models explicitly incorporating such spatial effects. The multidimensionality ...
متن کاملOn the consequences of model misspecification in logistic regression.
Logistic regression models are commonly used to study the association between a binary response variable and an exposure variable. Besides the exposure of interest, other covariates are frequently included in the fitted model in order to control for their effects on outcome. Unfortunately, misspecification of the main exposure variable and the other covariates is not uncommon, and this can adve...
متن کاملRobust high-dimensional semiparametric regression using optimized differencing method applied to the vitamin B2 production data
Background and purpose: By evolving science, knowledge, and technology, we deal with high-dimensional data in which the number of predictors may considerably exceed the sample size. The main problems with high-dimensional data are the estimation of the coefficients and interpretation. For high-dimension problems, classical methods are not reliable because of a large number of predictor variable...
