Design-adaptive Minimax Local Linear Regression for Longitudinal/clustered Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies a weighted local linear regression smoother for longitudinal/clustered data, which takes a form similar to the classical weighted least squares estimate. As a hybrid of the methods of Chen and Jin (2005) and Wang (2003), the proposed local linear smoother maintains the advantages of both methods in computational and theoretical simplicity, variance minimization and bias reduction. Moreover, the proposed smoother is optimal in the sense that it attains linear minimax efficiency when the within-cluster correlation is correctly specified. In the special case that the joint density of covariates in a cluster exists and is continuous, any working within-cluster correlation would lead to linear minimax efficiency for the proposed method.

Bayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Elastic Net Penalty for Longitudinal Data
Longitudinal studies include the important parts of epidemiological surveys, clinical trials and social studies. In longitudinal studies, measurement of the responses is conducted repeatedly through time. Often, the main goal is to characterize the change in responses over time and the factors that influence the change. Recently, to analyze this kind of data, quantile regression has been taken ...

This paper considers point and interval estimation of the lq loss of an estimator in high-dimensional linear regression with random design. We establish the minimax rate for estimating the lq loss and the minimax expected length of confidence intervals for the lq loss of rate-optimal estimators of the regression vector, including commonly used estimators such as Lasso, scaled Lasso, square-root...
متن کاملMinimax Linear Regression under Measurement Constraints
We consider the problem of linear regression under measurement constraints and derive computationally feasible subsampling strategies to sample a small portion of design (data) points in a linear regression model y = Xβ + ε. The derived subsampling algorithms are minimax optimal for estimating the regression coefficients β under the fixed design setting, up to a small (1 + ) relative factor. Ex...
متن کاملRate-optimal data-driven specification testing in regression models
We propose a general procedure for testing that a regression function has a prescribed parametric form. We allow for multivariate regressors, non-normal errors and heteroscedasticity of unknown form. The test relies upon a nonparametric linear estimation method, such as a sieves expansion or the kernel method. The choice of the smoothing parameter is data-driven. Under the null hypothesis, the ...
