Compared with other well-established methods, the HSIC based method requires relatively weak conditions. However, its performance has not yet been studied in the prevalent high-dimensional scenarios, where the number of covariates can be much larger than the sample size. In this article, based on HSIC, we propose to estimate the possibly sparse directions in the high-dimensional single-index models through a parameter reformulation. Our approach estimates the subspace of the direction directly and performs variable selection simultaneously. Due to the non-convexity of the objective function and the complexity of the constraints, a majorize-minimize algorithm together with the linearized alternating direction method of multipliers is developed to solve the optimization problem. Since it does not involve the inverse of the covariance matrix, the algorithm can naturally handle large p small n scenarios. Through extensive simulation studies and a real data analysis, we show that our proposal is efficient and effective in the high-dimensional settings. The (texttt {Matlab}) codes for this method are available online.","PeriodicalId":22058,"journal":{"name":"Statistics and Computing","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140005016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The space of phylogenetic trees is a nonpositively curved metric space. Recently, statistical methods to analyze samples of trees on this space are being developed utilizing this property. Meanwhile, in Euclidean space, the log-concave maximum likelihood method has emerged as a new nonparametric method for probability density estimation. In this paper, we derive a sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of the log-concave maximum likelihood estimator on tree space. We also propose an estimation algorithm for one and two dimensions. Since various factors affect the inferred trees, it is difficult to specify the distribution of a sample of trees. The class of log-concave densities is nonparametric, and yet the estimation can be conducted by the maximum likelihood method without selecting hyperparameters. We compare the estimation performance with a previously developed kernel density estimator numerically. In our examples where the true density is log-concave, we demonstrate that our estimator has a smaller integrated squared error when the sample size is large. We also conduct numerical experiments of clustering using the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and compare the results with k-means++ clustering using Fréchet mean.","PeriodicalId":22058,"journal":{"name":"Statistics and Computing","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139947601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The amount of inadmissibility may be very large when populations’ parameters, e.g. the variance, are unbounded and/or with big data. A palliating remedy is increasing B, the larger the better, but the MSEs ordering remains unchanged for (B<infty .)

This approach, however, ignores the fact that there may exist a multitude of similarly-accurate models in which the implied effects of individual covariates may be vastly different. This problem of finding an entire collection of plausible models has also received relatively little attention in the statistics community, with nearly all of the proposed methodologies being narrowly tailored to a particular model class and/or requiring an exhaustive search over all possible models, making them largely infeasible in the current big data era. This work develops the idea of forward stability and proposes a novel, computationally-efficient approach to finding collections of accurate models we refer to as model path selection (MPS). MPS builds up a plausible model collection via a forward selection approach and is entirely agnostic to the model class and loss function employed. The resulting model collection can be displayed in a simple and intuitive graphical fashion, easily allowing practitioners to visualize whether some covariates can be swapped for others with minimal loss.","PeriodicalId":22058,"journal":{"name":"Statistics and Computing","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139927157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SVEs are found in many areas such as physics and mathematical finance. In the latter field they can be used to represent long memory in unobserved volatility processes. In many cases of practical interest, SVEs must be time-discretized and then parameter inference is based upon the posterior associated to this time-discretized process. Based upon recent studies on time-discretization of SVEs (e.g. Richard et al. in Stoch Proc Appl 141:109–138, 2021) we use Euler–Maruyama methods for the afore-mentioned discretization. We then show how multilevel Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods (Jasra et al. in SIAM J Sci Comp 40:A887–A902, 2018) can be applied in this context. In the examples we study, we give a proof that shows that the cost to achieve a mean square error (MSE) of (mathcal {O}(epsilon ^2)), (epsilon >0), is (mathcal {O}(epsilon ^{-tfrac{4}{2H+1}})), where H is the Hurst parameter. If one uses a single level MCMC method then the cost is (mathcal {O}(epsilon ^{-tfrac{2(2H+3)}{2H+1}})) to achieve the same MSE. We illustrate these results in the context of state-space and stochastic volatility models, with the latter applied to real data.","PeriodicalId":22058,"journal":{"name":"Statistics and Computing","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139754209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
