Hence, a discontinuity test of density is used for RDD. In previous studies, tests using difference estimators between the left- and right-hand limits of a density at a (potential) discontinuity point were suggested. In the present paper, a new discontinuity test based on direct density ratio estimation using a beta kernel is proposed. By using the ratio estimator in the proposed test statistic, rather than a difference estimator, the characteristic form of the asymptotic variance of the test statistic is obtained. Consequently, the power of the proposed test is shown to increase when used as a one-tailed test. Simulation studies illustrate the larger power of the proposed test when used as a one-tailed test.","PeriodicalId":50112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonparametric Statistics","volume":"11 1","pages":"323 - 354"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88283660","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}

More recently they have been generalised to the case where there may exist a cured subgroup or the censoring may be informative. In this paper, we consider a more complicated and general situation where both a cured subgroup and informative censoring, or more specifically informative interval censoring, exist. As pointed out in the literature, the analysis that fails to take into account either the cured subgroup or the informative censoring can yield biased estimation or misleading conclusions. For the problem, a three-component mixture cure model is presented and we develop a two-step estimation procedure with the use of B-splines to approximate unknown functions. The proposed approach is quite flexible and can be easily implemented. Also the proposed estimators of regression parameters are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. An extensive simulation study is conducted and suggests that the method works well for practical situations. Furthermore a real application is provided to illustrate the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":50112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonparametric Statistics","volume":"21 1","pages":"283 - 301"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88217244","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 the literature related to the GMLE based on TIC data, there are several issues that have not been properly settled in both methodology and theory including: (1) innermost intervals based on the TIC data are not correctly formulated and they lead to inconsistent estimators which are not the GMLE; and (2) the consistency of the GMLE has not been established. We settle these two issues in this paper. In particular, we specify the correct forms of innermost intervals and establish consistency results for the GMLE under a realistic model.","PeriodicalId":50112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonparametric Statistics","volume":"73 1","pages":"266 - 282"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82875942","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}

The proposed methodology is compared numerically with couple of existing nonparametric as well as with commonly used parametric methods.

The null distributions of most existing tests are asymptotically normal which inevitably imposes strong conditions on covariance matrices. However, we assume here only mild additional conditions on the proposed test, which offers much flexibility in practical applications. Additionally, the Welch–Satterthwaite -approximation we adopted can automatically mimic the shape of the null distribution of the proposed test statistic, while the normal approximation cannot achieve the adaptivity. Finally, an extensive simulation study shows that the proposed test has better performance on both size and power compared with existing methods.","PeriodicalId":50112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonparametric Statistics","volume":"29 1","pages":"239 - 265"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75115241","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}

We formulate a simultaneous function estimation problem based on information pooling across multiple experiments under a low-dimensional structure. A nonparametric reduced rank regression estimator based on the nuclear norm penalisation scheme is proposed to incorporate the low-dimensional structure in the estimation process. A rank of a set of functions is defined in terms of their Fourier coefficients to formally characterise the dependence structure among functions. Minimax upper and lower bounds are established under various asymptotic scenarios to examine the role of the low-rank structure in determining optimal rates of convergence. The results confirm that exploiting the low-rank structure can significantly improve the convergence rate for the simultaneous estimation of multiple functions. The results also imply that the proposed estimator is rate optimal in the minimax sense for the rank-constraint Sobolev class of vector-valued functions.","PeriodicalId":50112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonparametric Statistics","volume":"57 1","pages":"122 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76856131","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}
