چکیده

Robust alternatives to the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) estimator of Zellner (1962) are proposed for the classical multivariate regression model. These weighted M-estimators achieve an asymptotic covariance matrix analogous to that of the SUR estimator. Comparisons are made with the efficient estimator in the case of elliptically contoured distributions. The / lt least absolute deviation, case is discussed in detail, and some remarks on estimation of the weighting matrices are offered. In contrast to recent work of Ham pel, et al (1986), Rousseeuw(1987) and Oja(1983), the methods studied below are not affine equivariant; some remarks on the potential significance of this failing conclude the paper.

Moment Based Dimension Reduction for Multivariate Response Regression

Dimension reduction aims to reduce the complexity of a regression without requiring a pre-specified model. In the case of multivariate response regressions, covariance-based estimation methods for the k-th moment based dimension reduction subspaces circumvent slicing and nonparametric estimation so that they are readily applicable to multivariate regression settings. In this article, the covari...

An improved structure models to explain retention behavior of atmospheric nanoparticles

The quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) of nanoparticles in roadside atmosphere against the comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography which was coupled to high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry was studied. The genetic algorithm (GA) was employed to select the variables that resulted in the best-fitted models. After the variables were selected, the linear multi...

Robust system estimation of causal effects on binary outcomes, with application to effect of alcohol abuse on employment

This paper discusses estimation of causal effects of non-randomly assigned binary treatments on binary outcomes. The approach is full information maximum likelihood estimation of endogenously switching nonlinear regressions with a multivariate Student’s-t error structure. An application measures the effect of problem drinking on probability of employment. JEL Classification: I1, C3 I thank the ...

Biplots in Reduced - Rank Regression

2 SUMMARY Regression problems with a number of related response variables are typically analyzed by separate multiple regressions. This paper shows how these regressions can be visualized jointly in a biplot based on reduced-rank regression. Reduced-rank regression combines multiple regression and principal components analysis and can therefore be carried out with standard statistical packages....
