Generalized smooth monotonic regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Common approaches to monotonic regression focus on the case of a unidimensional covariate and continuous dependent variable. Here a general approach is proposed that allows for additive and multiplicative structures where one or more variables have monotone influence on the dependent variable. In addition the approach allows for dependent variables from an exponential family, including binary and Poisson distributed dependent variables. Flexibility of the smooth estimate is gained by expanding the unknown function in monotonic basis functions. For the estimation of coefficients and the selection of basis functions a likelihood based boosting algorithm is proposed which is simply to implement. Stopping criteria and inference are based on AIC-type measures. The method is applied to several data sets.

Generalized monotonic regression based on B-splines with an application to air pollution data.
In many studies, it is known that one or more of the covariates have a monotonic effect on the response variable. In these circumstances, standard fitting methods for generalized additive models (GAMs) generate implausible results. A fitting procedure is proposed that incorporates monotonicity assumptions on one or more smooth components within a GAM framework. The algorithm uses the monotonici...

متن کاملMonotonic change point estimation of generalized linear model-based regression profiles
In this paper a Maximum Likelihood Estimator is derived in the Generalized Linear Model-based regression profiles under the monotonic change in Phase II. The performance of proposed estimator is comprehensively investigated through some special cases and compared to estimators under step change and drift. The results show that the proposed estimator has better performance in small and medium sh...
متن کاملSemi-parametric order-based generalized multivariate regression
In this paper, we consider a generalized multivariate regression problem where the responses are monotonic functions of linear transformations of predictors. We propose a semi-parametric algorithm based on the ordering of the responses which is invariant to the functional form of the transformation function. We prove that our algorithm, which maximizes the rank correlation of responses and line...
متن کاملOn generalized topologies arising from mappings
Given a mapping $f:Xto X$ we naturally associate to it a monotonic map $gg_f:exp Xto exp X$ from the power set of $X$ into itself, thus inducing a generalized topology on $X$. In this paper we investigate some properties of generalized topologies which are defined by such a procedure.
