We first study the problem of constructing confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for a low dimensional parameter of interest. The major challenge is how to construct a powerful test statistic in the presence of high-dimensional nuisance parameters and sophisticated within-subject correlation of longitudinal data. To deal with the challenge, we propose a new quadratic decorrelated inference function approach, which simultaneously removes the impact of nuisance parameters and incorporates the correlation to enhance the efficiency of the estimation procedure. When the parameter of interest is of fixed dimension, we prove that the proposed estimator is asymptotically normal and attains the semiparametric information bound, based on which we can construct an optimal Wald test statistic. We further extend this result and establish the limiting distribution of the estimator under the setting with the dimension of the parameter of interest growing with the sample size at a polynomial rate. Finally, we study how to control the false discovery rate (FDR) when a vector of high-dimensional regression parameters is of interest. We prove that applying the Storey (2002)'s procedure to the proposed test statistics for each regression parameter controls FDR asymptotically in longitudinal data. We conduct simulation studies to assess the finite sample performance of the proposed procedures. Our simulation results imply that the newly proposed procedure can control both Type I error for testing a low dimensional parameter of interest and the FDR in the multiple testing problem. We also apply the proposed procedure to a real data example.</p>","PeriodicalId":8032,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Statistics","volume":"48 5","pages":"2622-2645"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8277154/pdf/nihms-1614211.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39189359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first describe the reason for using the null situation β0 0p in the model. If β0 is an arbitrary non-zero vector, then, for fixed covariates, XiYi cannot be identically distributed and hence only (asymptotically) conservative inference is possible. In simulations this conservativeness confounds with the simultaneity so that the coverage becomes close to 1 (if not 1). In the main manuscript, we have shown plots comparing our method with Berk et al. (2013) and selective inference. We label our confidence region R̂:n,M (12) as “UPoSI,” the projected confidence region B̂ n,M (28) as “UPoSIBox”, and Berk et al. (2013) as “PoSI.” Tables 1, 2, and 3 show exact numbers for the comparison of our method with Berk et al. (2013). Note that size of each dot in the row plot of Figure 9 indicates the proportion of confidence regions of that volume among same-sized models. In Setting A and B, the confidence region volumes of same-sized models are the same. In Setting C, volumes of confidence regions of Berk and PoSI Box enlarge (hence smaller logpVolq{|M |q if the last covariate is included. Tables 4 and 5 show the numbers for the comparison of our method with selective inference when the selection procedure is forward stepwise and LARS, respectively. Sample splitting is a simple procedure that provides valid inference after selection as discussed in Section 1.3. We stress here that this is valid only for independent observations and that the model selected in the first split half could be different from the one selected in the full data. The comparison results with n 1000, p 500 and selection methods forward stepwise, LARS and BIC are summarized in Figure S.1. For sample splitting we have used the Bonferroni correction to obtain simultaneous inference for all coefficients in a model. Table 6 shows the comparison of our method with sample splitting.","PeriodicalId":8032,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Statistics","volume":"48 1","pages":"2953-2981"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66077588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, it imposes neither parametric distributional assumption nor linear regression assumption. It only assumes that the survival time T depends on a high-dimensional covariate vector X through low-dimensional linear combinations of covariates ΓX. The censoring time is allowed to be conditionally independent of the survival time given the covariates. This general framework includes many popular parametric and semiparametric survival regression models as special cases. The proposed algorithm produces a number of practically useful outputs with theoretical guarantees, including a consistent estimate of the sufficient dimension reduction subspace of T |X, a uniformly consistent Kaplan-Meier type estimator of the conditional distribution function of T and a consistent estimator of the conditional quantile survival time. Our asymptotic results significantly extend the classical theory of sufficient dimension reduction for censored data (particularly that of Li et al. 1999) and the celebrated nonparametric Kaplan-Meier estimator to the setting where the number of covariates p diverges exponentially fast with the sample size n. We demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed new estimators through simulations and a real data example.","PeriodicalId":8032,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Statistics","volume":"48 1","pages":"2132-2154"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44672142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been shown to enjoy a lower-order optimality property in a simple normal location mixture model which is shared by the ‘tailor-made’ parametric generalised likelihood ratio test (GLRT) for the same model, however HC has also been shown to perform well outside this ‘narrow’ model. We develop a higher-order framework for analysing the power of these and similar procedures, which reveals the perhaps unsurprising fact that the GLRT enjoys an edge in power over HC for the normal location mixture model. We also identify a similar parametric mixture model to which HC is similarly ‘tailor-made’ and show that the situation is (at least partly) reversed there. We also show that in the normal location mixture model a procedure based on the empirical moment-generating function enjoys the same local power properties as the GLRT and may be recommended as an easy to implement (and interpret), complementary procedure to HC. Some other practical advice regarding the implementation of these procedures is provided. Finally we provide some simulation results to help interpret our theoretical findings.","PeriodicalId":8032,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Statistics","volume":"48 1","pages":"2230-2252"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44608637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
