Nonstationary Logistic Regression

چکیده
In this paper, we consider the logistic regression model with an integrated regressor driven by a general linear process. In particular, we derive the limit distributions of the nonlinear least squares (NLS) estimators and their t-ratios of the parameters in the model. It is shown that the NLS estimators are generally not efficient. Moreover, the t-ratios for the level parameters have limit distributions that are nonnormal and dependent upon nuisance parameters, due to the asymptotic correlation between the innovations of the regressor and the regression errors. We propose an efficient NLS procedure to deal with the inefficiency of the estimators and inferential difficulty. The new NLS procedure yields estimators that are efficient and have asymptotically normal t-ratios. The finite sample properties of the usual and efficient NLS estimators and their t-statistics are investigated through Monte Carlo simulations.

Multinomial Logistic Regression on Markov Chains for Crop Rotation Modelling
Often, in dynamical systems, such as farmer’s crop choices, the dynamics is driven by external nonstationary factors, such as rainfall, temperature, and economy. Such dynamics can be modelled by a nonstationary Markov chain, where the transition probabilities are logistic functions of such external factors. We investigate the problem of estimating the parameters of the logistic model from data,...
متن کاملNonstationary Nonlinear Heteroskedasticity in Regression1
This paper considers the regression with errors having nonstationary nonlinear heteroskedasticity. For both the usual stationary regression and the nonstationary cointegrating regression, we develop the asymptotic theories for the least squares methods in the presence of conditional heterogeneity given as a nonlinear function of an integrated process. In particular, it is shown that the nonstat...
متن کاملEpisodic Reinforcement Learning by Logistic Reward-Weighted Regression
It has been a long-standing goal in the adaptive control community to reduce the generically difficult, general reinforcement learning (RL) problem to simpler problems solvable by supervised learning. While this approach is today’s standard for value function-based methods, fewer approaches are known that apply similar reductions to policy search methods. Recently, it has been shown that immedi...
متن کاملNonstationary Censored Regression
This paper considers the censored regression model under the assumption that the regressors are integrated. We show that Maximum Likelihood estimation is superconsistent and asymptotically mixed normal, implying that standard inference techniques remain valid, and that in general least squares estimation based on the positive observations only is superconsistent, but not mixed normal. An except...
متن کاملA Dynamic Logistic Multiple Classifier System for Online Classification
We consider the problem of online classification in nonstationary environments. Specifically, we take a Bayesian approach to sequential parameter estimation of a logistic MCS, and compare this method with other algorithms for nonstationary classification. We comment on several design considerations.
