This paper contributes to classification and identification in modern finance through advanced optimization. In the last few decades, financial misalignments and, thereby, financial crises have been increasing in numbers due to the rearrangement of the financial world. In this study, as one of the most remarkable of these, countries’ debt crises, which result from illiquidity, are tried to pred...

Multivariate reward processes with reward functions of constant rates, defined on a semi-Markov process, first were studied by Masuda and Sumita, 1991. Reward processes with nonlinear reward functions were introduced in Soltani, 1996. In this work we study a multivariate process , , where are reward processes with nonlinear reward functions respectively. The Laplace transform of the covar...

A method for estimating nonlinear regression errors and their distributions without performing regression is presented. Assuming continuity of the modeling function the variance is given in terms of conditional probabilities extracted from the data. For N data points the computational demand is N. Comparing the predicted residual errors with those derived from a linear model assumption provides...

Causal prediction has become a popular tool for neuroscience applications, as it allows the study of relationships between different brain areas during rest, cognitive tasks or brain disorders. We propose a nonparametric approach for the estimation of nonlinear causal prediction for multivariate time series. In the proposed estimator, C NPMR , Autoregressive modeling is replaced by Nonparametri...

Identifiability becomes an essential requirement for learning machines when the models contain physically interpretable parameters. This paper presents two approaches to examining structural identifiability of the generalized constraint neural network (GCNN) models by viewing the model from two different perspectives. First, by taking the model as a static deterministic function, a functional f...

We introduce a new dimension-reduction technique, the Partially Linear Reduced-rank Regression (PLRR) model, for exploring possible nonlinear structure in a regression involving both multivariate response and covariate. The PLRR model specifies that the response vector loads linearly on some linear indices of the covariate, and nonlinearly on some other indices of the covariate. We give a set o...

We introduce the truncated Gaussian graphical model (TGGM) as a novel framework for designing statistical models for nonlinear learning. A TGGM is a Gaussian graphical model (GGM) with a subset of variables truncated to be nonnegative. The truncated variables are assumed latent and integrated out to induce a marginal model. We show that the variables in the marginal model are non-Gaussian distr...

This paper considers inference in a standard nonlinear regression model. We show that the model is non-regular in the sense that test statistics of interest exhibit a discontinuity in their limit distribution as a function of a parameter in the model. The discontinuity occurs when the coe¢ cient of a nonlinear regressor is zero. This paper establishes the asymptotic distributions of the least s...

Almost all of the current nonparametric regression methods such as smoothing splines, generalized additive models and varying coefficients models assume a linear relationship when nonparametric functions are regarded as parameters. In this article, we propose a general class of nonlinear nonparametric models that allow nonparametric functions to act nonlinearly. They arise in many fields as eit...
