This model is known for its adaptive nature, enabling nonparametric estimation with full parametric efficiency. Existing nonparametric estimators of the location shift often depend on external tuning parameters, which restricts their practical applicability Vanet al. (1998). We demonstrate that introducing an additional assumption of log-concavity on the underlying density can alleviate the need for tuning parameters. We propose a one step estimator for location shift estimation, utilizing log-concave density estimation techniques to facilitate tuning-free estimation of the efficient influence function. While we use a truncated version of the one step estimator to theoretically demonstrate adaptivity, our simulations indicate that the one step estimators perform best with zero truncation, eliminating the need for tuning during practical implementation. Notably, the efficiency of the truncated one step estimators steadily increases as the truncation level decreases, and those with low levels of truncation exhibit nearly identical empirical performance to the estimator with zero truncation. We apply our method to investigate the location shift in the distribution of Spanish annual household incomes following the 2008 financial crisis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50039,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference","volume":"238 ","pages":"Article 106272"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143150096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many situations, an applied scientist may have additional informative beliefs about the data distribution of interest, for instance, the distribution of its mean or a subset components.

In this paper, we are motivated by settings where practitioners have additional distributional information about a subset of the coordinates of the observations being modeled. Our approach links this problem to that of conditional density modeling. Our main idea is a novel constrained Bayesian model, based on a perturbation of a parametric distribution with a transformed Gaussian process prior on the perturbation function. We develop a corresponding posterior sampling method based on data augmentation. We illustrate the efficacy of our proposed constrained nonparametric Bayesian model in a variety of real-world scenarios including modeling environmental and earthquake data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50039,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 106261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143133631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better capture these features, this article introduces three versions of extended first-order binomial autoregressive (BAR(1)) models with endpoint inflation. Corresponding stochastic properties of the new models are investigated and model parameters are estimated by the conditional maximum likelihood and quasi-maximum likelihood methods. A binomial right-endpoint inflation index is also constructed and further used to test whether the data set has endpoint-inflated characteristic with respect to a BAR(1) process. Finally, the proposed models are applied to two real data examples. Firstly, we illustrate the usefulness of the proposed models through an application to the voting data on supporting interest rate changes during consecutive monthly meetings of the Monetary Policy Council at the National Bank of Poland.
