Error distribution estimation in right censored and selection biased location-scale models

Poster (2011, June 23)

Suppose the random vector (X;Y) satis es the regression model Y = m(X)+sigma(X)*epsilon where m(X) = E[Y|X] and sigma²(X) = Var[Y|X] are unknown smooth functions and the error epsilon, with unknown ... [more ▼]

Suppose the random vector (X;Y) satis es the regression model Y = m(X)+sigma(X)*epsilon where m(X) = E[Y|X] and sigma²(X) = Var[Y|X] are unknown smooth functions and the error epsilon, with unknown distribution, is independent of the covariate X. The pair (X;Y) is subject to generalized selection biased and the response to right censoring. We construct a new estimator for the cumulative distribution function of the error epsilon, where the estimators of m(.) and sigma²(.) are obtained by extending the conditional estimation methods introduced in de Uña-Alvarez and Iglesias-Perez (2010). The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator are established. A bootstrap technique is proposed to select the smoothing parameter involved in the procedure. This method is studied via extended simulations and applied to real unemployment data. Reference de UNA-ALVAREZ, J., IGLESIAS-PEREZ, M.C.

Introduction of the asymptotic study of the estimation of the error distribution in right censored and selection biased regression models

Poster (2010, October)

Consider the regression model Y = m(X) + σ(X) Ɛ where m(X) = E[Y|X] and σ²(X)=Var[Y|X] are unknown smooth functions and the error Ɛ , with unknown distribution, is independent of the covariate X. The pair ... [more ▼]

Recent studies have shown that the variable sampling interval (VSI) scheme helps practitioners detect process shifts more quickly than the classical scheme (FRS). In this paper, the economically and statistically optimal design of the VSI T2 control chart for monitoring the process mean vector is investigated. The cost model proposed by Lorenzen and Vance (1986) is minimized through a genetic algorithm (GA) approach. Then the effects of the costs and operating parameters on the optimal design (OD) of the chart parameters and resulting operating loss through a fractional factorial design is systematically studied and finally, based on the ANOVA results, a Meta model to facilitate implementation in industry is proposed to determine the OD of the VSI T2 control chart parameters from the process and cost parameters [less ▲]
