Smoothed empirical likelihood analysis of partially linear quantile regression models with missing response variablesAStA Advances in Statistical Analysis - Tập 97 - Trang 317-347 - 2013
Xiaofeng Lv, Rui Li
In this paper, we consider the estimation and inference of the parameters and the nonparametric part in partially linear quantile regression models with responses that are missing at random. First, we extend the normal approximation (NA)-based methods of Sun (2005) to the missing data case. However, the asymptotic covariance matrices of NA-based methods are difficult to estimate, which complicates...... hiện toàn bộ
Asymptotic normal tests for integration in panels with cross-dependent unitsAStA Advances in Statistical Analysis - Tập 95 - Trang 187-204 - 2011
Uwe Hassler, Matei Demetrescu, Adina I. Tarcolea
The asymptotically normal, regression-based LM integration test is adapted for panels with correlated units. The N different units may be integrated of different (fractional) orders under the null hypothesis. The paper first reviews conditions under which the test statistic is asymptotically (as T→∞) normal in a single unit. Then we adopt the framework of seemingly unrelated regression [SUR] for c...... hiện toàn bộ
A semi-parametric quantile regression approach to zero-inflated and incomplete longitudinal outcomesAStA Advances in Statistical Analysis - Tập 104 - Trang 261-283 - 2020
Jayabrata Biswas, Pulak Ghosh, Kiranmoy Das
Quantile regression models are typically used for modeling non-Gaussian outcomes, and such models allow quantile-specific inference. While there exists a vast literature on conditional quantile regression (where the model parameters are estimated precisely for one prefixed quantile level), relatively less work has been reported on joint quantile regression. The challenge in joint quantile regressi...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of agricultural sustainability in European Union countries: a group-based multivariate trajectory approachAStA Advances in Statistical Analysis - Tập 106 - Trang 673-703 - 2022
Alessandro Magrini
Sustainability of agriculture is difficult to measure and assess because it is a multidimensional concept that involves economic, social and environmental aspects and is subjected to temporal evolution and geographical differences. Existing studies assessing agricultural sustainability in the European Union (EU) are affected by several shortcomings that limit their relevance for policy makers. Spe...... hiện toàn bộ
Bias correction for the regression-based LM fractional integration testAStA Advances in Statistical Analysis - Tập 92 - Trang 91-99 - 2008
Matei Demetrescu, Adina I. Tarcolea
This paper examines the finite-sample behavior of the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test for fractional integration proposed by Breitung and Hassler (J. Econom. 110:167–185, 2002). We find by extensive Monte Carlo simulations that size distortions can be quite large in small samples. These are caused by a finite-sample bias towards the alternative. Analytic expressions for this bias are derived, based ...... hiện toàn bộ
Inferential procedures based on the integrated empirical characteristic functionAStA Advances in Statistical Analysis - Tập 103 - Trang 357-386 - 2018
Sangyeol Lee, Simos G. Meintanis, Minyoung Jo
We introduce the novel notion of the integrated characteristic function and its empirical counterpart. Some basic properties of these new objects are mentioned and in turn utilized in order to construct new procedures for testing goodness of fit to parametric distributions, for testing symmetry and homogeneity, and for testing independence. Asymptotic results are obtained, while corresponding Mont...... hiện toàn bộ
Sequential monitoring of minimum variance portfolioAStA Advances in Statistical Analysis - Tập 91 - Trang 39-55 - 2007
Vasyl Golosnoy
This paper evaluates the economic effect of monitoring the minimum variance portfolio weights, which
depend solely on the covariance matrix of returns. The investor decides whether the portfolio composition
providing the smallest portfolio variance remains optimal at the beginning of every new investment period.
For this purpose changes in the optimal weights are sequentially detected by ...... hiện toàn bộ
Calibrated imputation for multivariate categorical dataAStA Advances in Statistical Analysis - - 2023
Ton de Waal, Jacco Daalmans
Non-response is a major problem for anyone collecting and processing data. A commonly used technique to deal with missing data is imputation, where missing values are estimated and filled in into the dataset. Imputation can become challenging if the variable to be imputed has to comply with a known total. Even more challenging is the case where several variables in the same dataset need to be impu...... hiện toàn bộ
