Asymptotic Properties of Nonlinear Least Squares Estimates in Stochastic Regression Models Over a Finite Design Space. Application to Self-Tuning Optimisation
نویسنده
چکیده
We present new conditions for the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the least squares estimator in nonlinear stochastic models when the design variables vary in a finite set. The application to self-tuning optimisation is considered, with a simple adaptive strategy that guarantees simultaneously the convergence to the optimum and the strong consistency of the estimates of the model parameters. An illustrative example is presented.

Asymptotic properties of nonlinear estimates in stochastic models with finite design space
Under the condition that the design space is finite, new sufficient conditions for the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the least-squares estimator in nonlinear stochastic regression models are derived. Similar conditions are obtained for the maximum-likelihood estimator in Bernoulli type experiments. Consequences on the sequential design of experiments are pointed out.
متن کاملAsymptotics of Estimates in Constrained Nonlinear Regression with Long-range Dependent Innovations
Abstrac t . The purpose of this paper is to investigate the asymptotic properties of the least squares estimates (L2-estimates) and the least absolute deviation estimates (Ll-estimates) of the parameters of a nonlinear regression model subject to a set of equality and inequality restrictions, which has a long-range dependent stationary process as its stochastic errors. Then we will compare the ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Least-Squares and the Weak-Form Galerkin Finite Element Models for the Nonlinear Analysis of Timoshenko Beams
In this paper, a comparison of weak-form Galerkin and least-squares finite element models of Timoshenko beam theory with the von Kármán strains is presented. Computational characteristics of the two models and the influence of the polynomial orders used on the relative accuracies of the two models are discussed. The degree of approximation functions used varied from linear to the 5th order. In ...
متن کاملRidge Stochastic Restricted Estimators in Semiparametric Linear Measurement Error Models
In this article we consider the stochastic restricted ridge estimation in semipara-metric linear models when the covariates are measured with additive errors. The development of penalized corrected likelihood method in such model is the basis for derivation of ridge estimates. The asymptotic normality of the resulting estimates are established. Also, necessary and sufficient condition...
متن کاملAsymptotic properties of adaptive penalized optimal designs over a finite space
Adaptive optimal design with a cost constraint is considered, both for LS estimation in nonlinear regression and ML estimation in Bernoulli-type experiments, with possible applications in clinical trials. We obtain the strong consistency of the estimators for designs over a finite space, both when the cost level is fixed (and the adaptive design converges to an optimum constrained design) and w...
