In the seemingly unrelated regression systems, the existing quasi-likelihood is always involved in the difficult problem of calculating inverse of a high order matrix specially for large systems. To avoid this problem, the new quasi-likelihood proposed in this paper is based mainly on a linearly iterative process of some unbiased estimating functions.Some finite sample properties and asymptotic behaviours for this new quasi-likelihood are investigated. These results show that the new quasi-likelihood for parameter of interest is E-sufficient, iteratively efficient and approximately efficient. Some examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
This paper introduces a method of bootstrap wavelet estimation in a nonparametric regression model with weakly dependent processes for both fixed and random designs. The asymptotic bounds for the bias and variance of the bootstrap wavelet estimators are given in the fixed design model. The conditional normality for a modified version of the bootstrap wavelet estimators is obtained in the fixed model. The consistency for the bootstrap wavelet estimator is also proved in the random design model. These results show that the bootstrap wavelet method is valid for the model with weakly dependent processes.
This paper reports a robust kernel estimation for fixed design nonparametric regression models.A Stahel-Donoho kernel estimation is introduced,in which the weight functions depend on both the depths of data and the distances between the design points and the estimation points.Based on a local approximation,a computational technique is given to approximate to the incomputable depths of the errors.As a result the new estimator is computationally efficient.The proposed estimator attains a high breakdown point and has perfect asymptotic behaviors such as the asymptotic normality and convergence in the mean squared error.Unlike the depth-weighted estimator for parametric regression models,this depth-weighted nonparametric estimator has a simple variance structure and then we can compare its efficiency with the original one.Some simulations show that the new method can smooth the regression estimation and achieve some desirable balances between robustness and efficiency.
