Bondell","doi":"10.1111/anzs.12323","DOIUrl":"10.1111/anzs.12323","url":null,"abstract":"The analysis of longitudinal income data is often made challenging for several reasons. For example, in a national Australian survey on income over time, a non‐negligible proportion of responses are missing, and it is believed the missingness mechanism is non‐ignorable. Also, there are a large number of reported zero incomes, some of which may be true zeros (corresponding to individuals who legitimately do not earn an income), while some may be false zeros (corresponding to individuals choosing to round their income to zero). We propose a new shared parameter mixture (SPM) model for analysing semi‐continuous longitudinal income data, which addresses the two challenges of income non‐response and zero rounding. This is accomplished by jointly modelling an individual's underlying income together with the probability of missingness and rounding to zero, where both probabilities are permitted to vary in a smooth manner with their underlying non‐zero income. Applying the SPM model to the Australian income survey reveals that on average, older female individuals and individuals with a long‐term health condition are considerably less likely to earn an income, while income tended to be highest for male individuals on fixed‐term/permanent job contracts between ages 50 and 60. Furthermore there is evidence of both zero rounding, and conditional on the assumed missingness mechanism, individuals with incomes at the higher and lower ends are more likely to not report their income.","PeriodicalId":55428,"journal":{"name":"Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/anzs.12323","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89592499","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 setup we considered here is fairly general, which can represent all possible parametric models. The Bayes classification rule we investigated minimises the Bayes risk under general loss functions. Among the existing literatures, the 0-1 loss function appears most frequently, under which the Bayes classification rule is determined by the posterior predictive densities. Theoretically, we extended the Bernstein–von Mises theorem to the multiple-sample case. On this basis, the oracle property of Bayes classification rule has been discussed in detail, which refers to the convergence of the Bayes classification rule to the one built from the true distributions, as the sample size tends to infinity.

But this data revolution we are experiencing defies a cadastral survey. Areas are continually being annexed into Data Science. For example, biometrics was traditionally statistics for agriculture in all its forms but now, in Data Science, it means the study of characteristics that can be used to identify an individual. Examples of non-intrusive measurements include height, weight, fingerprints, retina scan, voice, photograph/video (facial landmarks and facial expressions) and gait. A multivariate analysis of such data would be a complex project for a statistician, but a software engineer might appear to have no trouble with it at all. In any applied-statistics project, the statistician worries about uncertainty and quantifies it by modelling data as realisations generated from a probability space. Another approach to uncertainty quantification is to find similar data sets, and then use the variability of results between these data sets to capture the uncertainty. Both approaches allow ‘error bars’ to be put on estimates obtained from the original data set, although the interpretations are different. A third approach, that concentrates on giving a single answer and gives up on uncertainty quantification, could be considered as Data Engineering, although it has staked a claim in the Data Science terrain.
