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 ▼]

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 (X;Y) is subject to generalized bias selection and the response to right censoring. We construct a new estimator for the cumulative distribution function of the error Ɛ , where the estimators of m(.) and σ²(.) are obtained by extending the conditional estimation methods introduced in de Uña-Alvarez and Iglesias-Perez (2008). The asymptotic properties of the functions m(.) and σ(.) are obtained. 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. [less ▲]

Nous aurions pu nous limiter dans cette introduction à présenter la méthodologie du séminaire. Mais celle-ci contient un trompe-l’oeil : en réalité, le séminaire constitua le moment fort d’un processus complexe qui inscrit dans le temps un rapprochement improbable entre deux groupes, celui des coopérateurs de Lucéole et des ornithologues de la région. C’est pourquoi cette introduction prend le temps de refaire ce cheminement : du premier cadrage opéré en préambule, justification d’une expertise citoyenne aux côtés de l’étude d’incidence jusqu’au processus de rapprochement entre les deux groupes locaux : Lucéole et ornithologues [less ▲]

Abstract numeration systems were introduced in 2001 by P. Lecomte and M. Rigo. This new way to represent numbers generalizes that of usual positional numeration systems such as integer base numeration systems and linear numeration systems. Some standard properties are preserved in this wider framework though some others are not. Yet, the advantages of these systems stem from their great generality: current research on this subject strives to highlight the properties that are independent of the target numeration system, such as properties related to the complexity of the numeration language. In this talk I will introduce this topic. In particular, I will present many open questions in the area and highlight the connections with combinatorics on words. [less ▲]

This paper is dedicated to the physical understanding of electrostatic forces with a one-dimensional reference problem. First a non-dimensional analysis prescribes the kind of assumptions to consider for the electric field model. An analytical study of electro-mechanical coupling is then performed to understand the type of non-linearity added by electrostatic forces, and static and dynamic analysis are used to define new characteristic parameters. To come closer to more realistic problems, cubic mechanical stiffness is added to account for the large displacement hypothesis prescribed for certain types of MEMS and damping effects are studied.
