Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: It is well known that ordinary least squares (OLS) procedures are sensitive to deviations from the classical Gaussian assumptions (outliers) as well as data aberrations in the design space. The two major data aberrations in the design space are collinearity and high leverage. Leverage points can also induce or hide collinearity in the design space. Such leverage points are referred to as collinearity influential points. As a consequence, over the years, many diagnostic tools to detect these anomalies as well as alternative procedures to counter them were developed. To counter deviations from the classical Gaussian assumptions many robust procedures have been proposed. One such class of procedures is the Koenker and Bassett (1978) Regressions Quantiles (RQs), which are natural extensions of order statistics, to the linear model. RQs can be found as solutions to linear programming problems (LPs). The basic optimal solutions to these LPs (which are RQs) correspond to elemental subset (ES) regressions, which consist of subsets of minimum size to estimate the necessary parameters of the model. On the one hand, some ESs correspond to RQs. On the other hand, in the literature it is shown that many OLS statistics (estimators) are related to ES regression statistics (estimators). Therefore there is an inherent relationship amongst the three sets of procedures. The relationship between the ES procedure and the RQ one, has been noted almost “casually” in the literature while the latter has been fairly widely explored. Using these existing relationships between the ES procedure and the OLS one as well as new ones, collinearity, leverage and outlier problems in the RQ scenario were investigated. Also, a lasso procedure was proposed as variable selection technique in the RQ scenario and some tentative results were given for it. These results are promising. Single case diagnostics were considered as well as their relationships to multiple case ones. In particular, multiple cases of the minimum size to estimate the necessary parameters of the model, were considered, corresponding to a RQ (ES). In this way regression diagnostics were developed for both ESs and RQs. The main problems that affect RQs adversely are collinearity and leverage due to the nature of the computational procedures and the fact that RQs’ influence functions are unbounded in the design space but bounded in the response variable. As a consequence of this, RQs have a high affinity for leverage points and a high exclusion rate of outliers. The influential picture exhibited in the presence of both leverage points and outliers is the net result of these two antagonistic forces. Although RQs are bounded in the response variable (and therefore fairly robust to outliers), outlier diagnostics were also considered in order to have a more holistic picture. The investigations used comprised analytic means as well as simulation. Furthermore, applications were made to artificial computer generated data sets as well as standard data sets from the literature. These revealed that the ES based statistics can be used to address problems arising in the RQ scenario to some degree of success. However, due to the interdependence between the different aspects, viz. the one between leverage and collinearity and the one between leverage and outliers, “solutions” are often dependent on the particular situation. In spite of this complexity, the research did produce some fairly general guidelines that can be fruitfully used in practice.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit is bekend dat die gewone kleinste kwadraat (KK) prosedures sensitief is vir afwykings vanaf die klassieke Gaussiese aannames (uitskieters) asook vir data afwykings in die ontwerpruimte. Twee tipes afwykings van belang in laasgenoemde geval, is kollinearitiet en punte met hoë hefboom waarde. Laasgenoemde punte kan ook kollineariteit induseer of versteek in die ontwerp. Na sodanige punte word verwys as kollinêre hefboom punte. Oor die jare is baie diagnostiese hulpmiddels ontwikkel om hierdie afwykings te identifiseer en om alternatiewe prosedures daarteen te ontwikkel. Om afwykings vanaf die Gaussiese aanname teen te werk, is heelwat robuuste prosedures ontwikkel. Een sodanige klas van prosedures is die Koenker en Bassett (1978) Regressie Kwantiele (RKe), wat natuurlike uitbreidings is van rangorde statistieke na die lineêre model. RKe kan bepaal word as oplossings van lineêre programmeringsprobleme (LPs). Die basiese optimale oplossings van hierdie LPs (wat RKe is) kom ooreen met die elementale deelversameling (ED) regressies, wat bestaan uit deelversamelings van minimum grootte waarmee die parameters van die model beraam kan word. Enersyds geld dat sekere EDs ooreenkom met RKe. Andersyds, uit die literatuur is dit bekend dat baie KK statistieke (beramers) verwant is aan ED regressie statistieke (beramers). Dit impliseer dat daar dus ‘n inherente verwantskap is tussen die drie klasse van prosedures. Die verwantskap tussen die ED en die ooreenkomstige RK prosedures is redelik “terloops” van melding gemaak in die literatuur, terwyl laasgenoemde prosedures redelik breedvoerig ondersoek is. Deur gebruik te maak van bestaande verwantskappe tussen ED en KK prosedures, sowel as nuwes wat ontwikkel is, is kollineariteit, punte met hoë hefboom waardes en uitskieter probleme in die RK omgewing ondersoek. Voorts is ‘n lasso prosedure as veranderlike seleksie tegniek voorgestel in die RK situasie en is enkele tentatiewe resultate daarvoor gegee. Hierdie resultate blyk belowend te wees, veral ook vir verdere navorsing. Enkel geval diagnostiese tegnieke is beskou sowel as hul verwantskap met meervoudige geval tegnieke. In die besonder is veral meervoudige gevalle beskou wat van minimum grootte is om die parameters van die model te kan beraam, en wat ooreenkom met ‘n RK (ED). Met sodanige benadering is regressie diagnostiese tegnieke ontwikkel vir beide EDs en RKe. Die belangrikste probleme wat RKe negatief beinvloed, is kollineariteit en punte met hoë hefboom waardes agv die aard van die berekeningsprosedures en die feit dat RKe se invloedfunksies begrensd is in die ruimte van die afhanklike veranderlike, maar onbegrensd is in die ontwerpruimte. Gevolglik het RKe ‘n hoë affiniteit vir punte met hoë hefboom waardes en poog gewoonlik om uitskieters uit te sluit. Die finale uitset wat verkry word wanneer beide punte met hoë hefboom waardes en uitskieters voorkom, is dan die netto resultaat van hierdie twee teenstrydige pogings. Alhoewel RKe begrensd is in die onafhanklike veranderlike (en dus redelik robuust is tov uitskieters), is uitskieter diagnostiese tegnieke ook beskou om ‘n meer holistiese beeld te verkry. Die ondersoek het analitiese sowel as simulasie tegnieke gebruik. Voorts is ook gebruik gemaak van kunsmatige datastelle en standard datastelle uit die literatuur. Hierdie ondersoeke het getoon dat die ED gebaseerde statistieke met ‘n redelike mate van sukses gebruik kan word om probleme in die RK omgewing aan te spreek. Dit is egter belangrik om daarop te let dat as gevolg van die interafhanklikheid tussen kollineariteit en punte met hoë hefboom waardes asook dié tussen punte met hoë hefboom waardes en uitskieters, “oplossings” dikwels afhanklik is van die bepaalde situasie. Ten spyte van hierdie kompleksiteit, is op grond van die navorsing wat gedoen is, tog redelike algemene riglyne verkry wat nuttig in die praktyk gebruik kan word.

Full textThis thesis is a heuristic, hermeneutic investigation into regression using the author's experience as a case study. Regressive play and the desire for deeper regression within the analytic container are explored, guided by the question: What is the experience of following one's impulse to regress to more and more primordial states, and what kind of psychological container is needed to facilitate that deepening both inter- and intrapersonally? The author details a history of regression beginning with Sigmund Freud and continuing to psychoanalyst Michael Balint's basic fault, object relations therapist Donald Winnicott's regression to dependence, and Jungian analyst Brian Feldman's psychic skin. The therapeutic role of play is explored. The analyst's response to regression and how it facilitates or hinders the client's ability to regress are presented. This thesis challenges the notion that regression should be discouraged within a psychoanalytic frame, instead suggesting ways the analyst may hold the regression elementally.

Full textBinary data models have a lot of utilities in many practical situations. In Regrssion Analisys, transformations can be applied to linearize or simplify the model and correct deviations of the suppositions. In this dissertation, we show the use of the transformations in logistic models to binary data models and models involving additional parameters to obtain more appropriate fits. We also present the cost of the estimation when parameters are added to models, hypothesis tests of the parameters in the Box-Cox logistic regression model and finally, diagnostics methods to evaluate the influence of the observations in the estimation of the transformation covariate parameters with their applications to a real data set.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Grain regression analysis forms an essential part of solid rocket motor simulation. In this thesis a numerical grain regression analysis module is developed as an alternative to cumbersome and time consuming analytical methods. The surface regression is performed by the level-set method, a numerical interface advancement scheme. A novel approach to the integration of the surface area and volume of a numerical interface, as defined implicitly in a level-set framework, by means of Monte-Carlo integration is proposed. The grain regression module is directly coupled to a quasi -1D internal ballistics solver in an on-line fashion, in order to take into account the effects of spatially varying burn rate distributions. A multi-timescale approach is proposed for the direct coupling of the two solvers.

In practice, when applying a statistical method it often occurs that some observations deviate from the usual model assumptions. Least-squares (LS) estimators are very sensitive to outliers. Even one single atypical value may have a large effect on the regression parameter estimates. The goal of robust regression is to develop methods that are resistant to the possibility that one or several unknown outliers may occur anywhere in the data. In this paper, we review various robust regression methods including: M-estimate, LMS estimate, LTS estimate, S-estimate, [tau]-estimate, MM-estimate, GM-estimate, and REWLS estimate. Finally, we compare these robust estimates based on their robustness and efficiency through a simulation study. A real data set application is also provided to compare the robust estimates with traditional least squares estimator.

Full textGeneralized quantile regressions, including the conditional quantiles and expectiles as special cases, are useful alternatives to the conditional means for characterizing a conditional distribution, especially when the interest lies in the tails. We denote $v_n(x)$ as the kernel smoothing estimator of the expectile curves. We prove the strong uniform consistency rate of $v_{n}(x)$ under general conditions. Moreover, using strong approximations of the empirical process and extreme value theory, we consider the asymptotic maximal deviation $\sup_{ 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 1 }|v_n(x)-v(x)|$. According to the asymptotic theory, we construct simultaneous confidence bands around the estimated expectile function. We develop a functional data analysis approach to jointly estimate a family of generalized quantile regressions. Our approach assumes that the generalized quantiles share some common features that can be summarized by a small number of principal components functions. The principal components are modeled as spline functions and are estimated by minimizing a penalized asymmetric loss measure. An iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm is developed for computation. While separate estimation of individual generalized quantile regressions usually suffers from large variability due to lack of sufficient data, by borrowing strength across data sets, our joint estimation approach significantly improves the estimation efficiency, which is demonstrated in a simulation study. The proposed method is applied to data from 150 weather stations in China to obtain the generalized quantile curves of the volatility of the temperature at these stations

Recommender systems are tools that provide suggestions for items that are most likely to be of interest to a particular user; they are central to various decision making processes so that recommender systems have become ubiquitous. We introduce blind regression, a framework motivated by matrix completion for recommender systems: given m users, n items, and a subset of user-item ratings, the goal is to predict the unobserved ratings given the data, i.e., to complete the partially observed matrix. We posit that user u and movie i have features x1(u) and x2(i) respectively, and their corresponding rating y(u, i) is a noisy measurement of f(x1(u), x2(i)) for some unknown function f. In contrast to classical regression, the features x = (x1(u), x2(i)) are not observed (latent), making it challenging to apply standard regression methods. We suggest a two-step procedure to overcome this challenge: 1) estimate distance for latent variables, and then 2) apply nonparametric regression. Applying this framework to matrix completion, we provide a prediction algorithm that is consistent for all Lipschitz functions. In fact, the analysis naturally leads to a variant of collaborative filtering, shedding insight into the widespread success of collaborative filtering. Assuming each entry is revealed independently with p = max(m-1+[delta], n-1/2+[delta]) for [delta] > 0, we prove that the expected fraction of our estimates with error greater than [epsilon] is less than [gamma]2/[epsilon]2, plus a polynomially decaying term, where [gamma]2 is the variance of the noise. Experiments with the MovieLens and Netflix datasets suggest that our algorithm provides principled improvements over basic collaborative filtering and is competitive with matrix factorization methods. The algorithm and analysis naturally extend to higher order tensor completion by simply flattening the tensor into a matrix. We show that our simple and principled approach is competitive with respect to state-of-art tensor completion algorithms when applied to image inpainting data. Lastly, we conclude this thesis by proposing various related directions for future research.

Full textApesar de se ter vindo a verificar, ao longo dos anos, um decréscimo significativo na desigualdade entre rendimentos, este tema ainda é alvo de estudo, principalmente numa abordagem econométrica, onde o principal objetivo passa por identificar e perceber os principais fatores que estão por detrás das desigualdades sentidas. Desta forma, o presente projeto destina-se ao estudo dos fatores que determinam o rendimento dos indivíduos residentes em Portugal, adotando uma abordagem de regressão de quantis, uma vez que grupos de indivíduos com diferentes valores de rendimento podem ter comportamentos distintos. Para tal, foram utilizados dados provenientes do Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE) que permitiram construir o modelo estimado. A variável em estudo é o rendimento anual dos residentes em Portugal, no ano de 2019, e o modelo conta com oito regressores que caracterizam não só o indivíduo, incluindo, nomeadamente, a sua idade, sexo ou estado civil, mas também a sua instituição empregadora, incluindo variáveis como a dimensão, número de horas de trabalho, entre outras. Com o desenvolvimento do projeto e tendo em conta a análise aos resultados da estimação, é possível concluir que existem fatores, nomeadamente o género, nível de educação e região onde o indivíduo reside, responsáveis pela diferença significativa no valor do rendimento anual dos residentes em Portugal. No entanto, esta diferença não é uniforme para todos os grupos de indivíduos e comporta-se de maneira diferente quando comparados grupos de indivíduos com rendimentos mais baixos, médios ou altos. Este comportamento não linear permitiu ainda compreender a vantagem da utilização do método de regressão de quantis face ao método econométrico mais comum, a regressão linear, cujo objetivo é estimar o efeito das diferentes variáveis explicativas nos valores médios da variável dependente. A base de dados utilizada foi construída utilizando o software SQL Developer e a análise foi conduzida com recurso ao Stata.
Despite the fact that, over the years, there has been a significant decrease in income inequality, this issue is still a subject under study, mainly in an econometric approach, with the aim of studying and understanding the factors behind those inequalities. The main focus of this project is to identify and study the factors that determine the income of individuals living in Portugal, adopting a quantile regression approach, since individuals with different wages may have different behaviors. For this purpose, a regression model was created, using data from Statistics Portugal. The variable under study is the annual income of residents in Portugal, in 2019, and the model has several regressors that not only characterize the individual, such as their age, sex or marital status, but also the company, such as their dimension and number of working hours. With the development of this project and taking into account the estimation results, it is possible to conclude that there are factors, namely the individual's gender, level of education and region where he lives, responsible for the significant difference in the value of the annual income of residents in Portugal. However, these differences are not uniform for all groups of individuals, since there is a different behavior when comparing groups of individuals with lower, medium or high income. This nonlinear behavior also allowed to understand the advantage of using quantile regression over the most common econometric method, linear regression, whose objective is to estimate the effect of different explanatory variables on the average values of the dependent variable. The database used was built using SQL Developer and the analysis was conducted with software Stata.

Full textLeast squares estimator may fail when the number of explanatory vari-able is relatively large in comparison to the sample or if the variablesare almost collinear. In such a situation, principle component regres-sion, partial least squares regression and ridge regression are oftenproposed methods and widely used in many practical data analysis,especially in chemometrics. They provide biased coecient estima-tors with the relatively smaller variation than the variance of the leastsquares estimator. In this paper, a brief literature review of PCR,PLS and RR is made from a theoretical perspective. Moreover, a dataset is used, in order to examine their performance on prediction. Theconclusion is that for prediction PCR, PLS and RR provide similarresults. It requires substantial verication for any claims as to thesuperiority of any of the three biased regression methods.

Resumo: Os dados longitudinais são frequentemente analisados usando modelos de efeitos mistos normais. Além disso, os métodos de estimação tradicionais baseiam-se em regressão na média da distribuição considerada, o que leva a estimação de parâmetros não robusta quando a distribuição do erro não é normal. Em comparação com a abordagem de regressão na média convencional, a regressão quantílica (RQ) pode caracterizar toda a distribuição condicional da variável de resposta e é mais robusta na presença de outliers e especificações erradas da distribuição do erro. Esta tese desenvolve uma abordagem baseada em verossimilhança para analisar modelos de RQ para dados longitudinais contínuos correlacionados através da distribuição Laplace assimétrica (DLA). Explorando a conveniente representação hierárquica da DLA, a nossa abordagem clássica segue a aproximação estocástica do algoritmo EM (SAEM) para derivar estimativas de máxima verossimilhança (MV) exatas dos efeitos fixos e componentes de variância em modelos lineares e não lineares de efeitos mistos. Nós avaliamos o desempenho do algoritmo em amostras finitas e as propriedades assintóticas das estimativas de MV através de experimentos empíricos e aplicações para quatro conjuntos de dados reais. Os algoritmos SAEMs propostos são implementados nos pacotes do R qrLMM() e qrNLMM() respectivamente
Abstract: Longitudinal data are frequently analyzed using normal mixed effects models. Moreover, the traditional estimation methods are based on mean regression, which leads to non-robust parameter estimation for non-normal error distributions. Compared to the conventional mean regression approach, quantile regression (QR) can characterize the entire conditional distribution of the outcome variable and is more robust to the presence of outliers and misspecification of the error distribution. This thesis develops a likelihood-based approach to analyzing QR models for correlated continuous longitudinal data via the asymmetric Laplace distribution (ALD). Exploiting the nice hierarchical representation of the ALD, our classical approach follows the stochastic Approximation of the EM (SAEM) algorithm for deriving exact maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of the fixed-effects and variance components in linear and nonlinear mixed effects models. We evaluate the finite sample performance of the algorithm and the asymptotic properties of the ML estimates through empirical experiments and applications to four real life datasets. The proposed SAEMs algorithms are implemented in the R packages qrLMM() and qrNLMM() respectively

Full textDenna rapport beskriver arbetet med att automatisera testningen av noder hos CCS på Ericsson. Målet var att var tredje timma konfigurera noderna med binärfiler kompilerade från den senaste källkoden och sedan testa dem. Detta ska ske helt automatisk utan att användarens hjälp och konfigurationen ska använda det befintliga konfigurations verktyget CICC. Innan arbetet påbörjades skulle felrapporter analyseras för att se om det fanns något att tjäna på automaseringen.Uppgiften löstes genom att först titta på felrapporterna och konstatera att det fanns rum för förbättringar, främst gällande omstarter. Efter det automatiserades CICC som tidigare körts via en GUI. För att schemalägga konfiguration och testning användes testverktyget Jenkins. Jenkins använder sig av ett s.k. wrapperskript som kör CICC och testfallen. Wrapperskriptet sköter även felhanteringen och skriver sedan resultatet av körningen till en XML fil som läses av Jenkins.Resultaten av testen går sedan att se i Jenkins via ett webinterface. Där går det att se resultatet av wrapperskript körningen och testerna, om det blev några fel finns det felmeddelanden med anledningen till felet. Misslyckade tester visas också.Projektet visar att med automatisk testning som sker oftare kan fler fel hittas tidigare och därför åtgärdas snabbare. Innan arbetet används skarpt bör förbättringar ske som tillexempel att köra konfiguration och testning av olika noder parallellt med varandra i wrapperskriptet, för att klara tidsbegränsningen när det är flera noder.

The commodity markets have seen a great deal of volatility over the past decade, which, for those involved, has created many challenges and opportunities. Some of those challenges and opportunities are related to the behavior of the basis – the difference between the local cash price of grain and its price in the futures market. This thesis examines factors impacting basis for corn and soybeans at an Illinois River barge terminal, inland grain terminals in central Illinois, and in the Decatur processing market. Factors used to explain basis behavior include the price level of futures markets, the price spread in the futures market, transportation cost, local demand conditions, and seasonal patterns. Using weekly data on basis from 2000 to 2013, regression models indicate that nearby corn futures, futures spread, inverted market, days until expiration, heating oil futures, and some months are significant drivers of corn basis. For inland terminals and processor regression models nearby corn futures do not appear to have significant effects. Using the same parameters for soybean basis nearby soybean futures, futures spread, inverted market, heating oil and some months are significant drivers but days until expiration do not appear to have a significant effect.

Full textIn this report, we study the performance of two machine learning algorithms when implemented for price predictions on the Swedish electricity market. The goal of this project is to evaluate if these algorithms can be used as a tool for investments. The algorithms are Kernel Ridge Regression (KRR), and Support Vector Regression (SVR). Both KRR and SVR use the kernel trick to efficiently find non-linear dependencies in the volatile market. The methods are both used with an offline approach. For the Kernel Ridge Regression, an online approach using Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) to reduce the computational cost was also implemented. Both algorithms are applied to the Swedish electricity market for the year 2017, using the programming environment Matlab. To evaluate the performance of the algorithms the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), the root mean squared error (RMSE), and the mean absolute error (MAE) were calculated. The conclusions of this project are that both methods show potential for being used in financial time series predictions. The presented implementations, however, are in need of some refinements. Examples of possible ways to refine the results obtained in this project are discussed, with ideas of future implementations.

Genom att använda multipel linjär regression, transformation av responsvariabeln, samt en mängd olika metoder för att förfina modellen, togs en slutgiltig, out of sample-validerad modell med ett 95%-konfidensintervall fram. För att genomföra de statistiska metoderna användes programmet R. Denna studie är avgränsad till de distrikt i Stockholms innerstad vars postnummer varierar mellan 112-118, därav är det viktigt att modellen endast appliceras på dessa områden eftersom de är inkluderade i modellen som regressorer. Tidsperioden inom vilket slutpriserna analyserades var mellan januari 2014 och april 2019, i vilket valutans volatilitet inte har analyserats som en ekonomisk påverkande faktor. Den slutgiltiga modellen innefattar de följande variablerna: våning, boarea, månadsavgift, konstruktionsår, distrikt.

In this dissertation the beta regression models with variable dispersion and quantile regression are discussed. Therefore, an introduction was made with the objective of motivating its discussion in epidemiological studies, emphasizing the problematization around obesity. The application of these methods considered a real data set, obtained from public information sources, referring to adult obesity in the nations in the year 2014. After the descriptive analysis of the data it was verified that 50% of the nations present values of the proportion of obese adults greater than 0.20. In addition, viewing the obesity map by nation showed that the highest concentration of countries with the lowest obesity values is found in the continents of Asia and Africa. On the other hand, the highest concentrations of obese are found in the continents of America and Europe. Also, from the graphical analysis of the box-plot a possible difference in the proportions of obese adults between the continents of America and Europe with those of Africa and Asia was observed. After adjusting the beta and quantile regression models it was verified that the covariates average alcohol consumption in liters per person, percentage of insufficient physical activity and percentage of the population living in urban areas have a positive effect on the response variable. That is, individually such covariables tend to increase obesity values in the countries when the other covariables remain constant. In addition, the life expectancy variable in years presented a positive effect and was significant only for the variable regression beta regression model. Finally, analyzing the measures of prediction errors, it was verified that the estimates from the beta regression are more accurate when the mean square error and the total percentage error were evaluated. Therefore, for questions of predicting values for adult obesity in the nations in 2014, the beta regression model with variable dispersion was more suitable for this purpose.
Nesta dissertação são abordados os modelos de regressão beta com dispersão variável e de regressão quantílica. Para tanto, foi feita uma introdução com objetivo de motivar sua discussão em estudos epidemiológicos, enfatizando a problematização em torno da obesidade. A aplicação destes métodos considerou um conjunto de dados reais, obtidos a partir de fontes de informação pública, referente a obesidade adulta nas nações no ano de 2014. Após a análise descritiva dos dados verificou-se que 50% das nações apresentam valores da proporção de adultos obesos maiores do que 0.20. Além disso, visualizando o mapa da obesidade por nação constatou-se que a maior concentração de países com menores valores de obesidade encontra-se nos continentes da Ásia e África. Por outro lado, as maiores concentrações de obesos encontram-se nos continentes da América e Europa. Ainda, a partir da análise gráfica do box-plot foi observado uma possível diferença nas proporções de adultos obesos entre os continentes da América e Europa com os da África e Ásia. Após ajustar os modelos de regressão beta e quantílica verificou-se que as covariáveis consumo médio de álcool em litros por pessoa, porcentagem de atividade física insuficiente e porcentagem da população que vivem em áreas urbanas apresentam efeito positivo sobre a variável resposta. Ou seja, individualmente tais covariáveis tendem a aumentar os valores de obesidade nos países quando as demais covariáveis permanecem constantes. Além disso, a variável expectativa de vida em anos apresentou efeito positivo e foi significativa apenas para o modelo de regressão beta com dispersão variável. Por fim, analisando as medidas de erros de previsão verificou-se que as estimativas oriundas da regressão beta são mais precisas quando avaliado o erro quadrático médio e o erro percentual total. Portanto, para questões de predizer valores referentes a obesidade adulta nas nações em 2014 o modelo de regressão beta com dispersão variável se mostrou mais adequado para tal propósito.

Nas engenharias, é fundamental estimar o tempo de vida útil das estruturas construídas, o que neste trabalho significa o tempo que os íons cloretos levam para atingirem a armadura do concreto. Um dos coeficientes que influenciam na vida útil do concreto é o de difusão, sendo este diretamente influenciado pelo grau de saturação (GS) do concreto. Recentes estudos levaram ao desenvolvimento de um método de medição do GS. Embora esse método seja eficiente, ainda assim há um grande desperdício de tempo e dinheiro em utilizá-lo. O objetivo deste trabalho é reduzir estes custos calculando uma boa aproximação para o valor do GS com modelos matemáticos que estimem o seu valor através de variáveis ambientais que influenciam na sua variação. As variáveis analisadas nesta pesquisa, são: pressão atmosférica,temperatura do ar seco, temperatura máxima, temperatura mínima, taxa de evaporação interna (Pichê), taxa de precipitação, umidade relativa, insolação, visibilidade, nebulosidade e taxa de evaporação externa. Todas foram analisadas e comparadas estatisticamente com medidas do GS obtidas durante quatro anos de medições semanais, para diferentes famílias de concreto. Com essas análises, pode-se medir a relação entre estes dados verificando que os fatores mais influentes no GS são, temperatura máxima e umidade relativa. Após a verificação desse resultado, foram elaborados modelos estatísticos, para que, através dos dados ambientais, cedidos pelo banco de dados meteorológicos, se possam calcular, sem desperdício de tempo e dinheiro, as médias aproximadas do GS para cada estação sazonal da região sul do Brasil, garantindo assim uma melhor estimativa do tempo de vida útil em estruturas de concreto.
In engineering, it is fundamental to estimate the life-cycle of built structures, which in this study means the period of time required for chlorides to reach the concrete reinforcement. One of the coefficients that affect the life-cycle of concrete is the diffusion, which is directly influenced by the saturation degree (SD) of concrete. Recent studies have led to the development of a measurement method for the SD. Although this method is efficient, there is still waste of time and money when it is used. The objective of this study is to reduce costs by calculating a good approximation for the SD value with mathematical models that predict its value through environmental variables that affect its variation. The variables analysed in the study are: atmospheric pressure, temperature of the dry air, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, internal evaporation rate (Pichê), precipitation rate, relative humidity, insolation, visibility, cloudiness and external evaporation rate. All of them were statistically analysed and compared with measurements of SD obtained during four years of weekly assessments for different families of concrete. By considering these analyses, the relationship among these data can be measured and it can be verified that the most influent variables affecting the SD are the maximum temperature and the relative humidity. After verifying this result, statistical models were developed aiming to calculate, based on the environmental data provided by the meteorological database and without waste of time and money, the approximate averages of SD for each seasonal station of the south region of Brazil, thus providing a better estimative of life-cycle for concrete structures.

Full textIn the field of statistical learning, we usually have a lot of features to determine the behavior of some response. For example in gene testing problems we have lots of genes as features and their relations with certain disease need to be determined. Without specific knowledge available, the most simple and fundamental way to model this kind of problem would be a linear model. There are many existing method to solve linear regression, like conventional ordinary least squares, ridge regression and LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator). Let N denote the number of samples and p denote the number of predictors, in ordinary settings where we have enough samples (N > p), ordinary linear regression methods like ridge regression will usually give reasonable predictions for the future values of the response. In the development of modern statistical learning, it's quite often that we meet high dimensional problems (N << p), like documents classification problems and microarray data testing problems. In high-dimensional problems it is generally quite difficult to identify the relationship between the predictors and the response without any further assumptions. Despite the fact that there are many predictors for prediction, most of the predictors are actually spurious in a lot of real problems. A predictor being spurious means that it is not directly related to the response. For example in microarray data testing problems, millions of genes may be available for doing prediction, but only a few hundred genes are actually related to the target disease. Conventional techniques in linear regression like LASSO and ridge regression both have their limitations in high-dimensional problems. The LASSO is one of the "state of the art technique for sparsity recovery, but when applied to high-dimensional problems, LASSO's performance is degraded a lot due to the presence of the measurement noise, which will result in high variance prediction and large prediction error. Ridge regression on the other hand is more robust to the additive measurement noise, but has its obvious limitation of not being able to separate true predictors from spurious predictors. As mentioned previously in many high-dimensional problems a large number of the predictors could be spurious, then in these cases ridge's disability in separating spurious and true predictors will result in poor interpretability of the model as well as poor prediction performance. The new technique that I will propose in this thesis aims to accommodate for the limitations of these two methods thus resulting in more accurate and stable prediction performance in a high-dimensional linear regression problem with signicant measurement noise. The idea is simple, instead of the doing a single step regression, we divide the regression procedure into two steps. In the first step we try to identify the seemingly relevant predictors and those that are obviously spurious by calculating the uni-variant correlations between the predictors and the response. We then discard those predictors that have very small or zero correlation with the response. After the first step we should have obtained a reduced predictor set. In the second step we will perform a ridge regression between the reduced predictor set and the response, the result of this ridge regression will then be our desired output. The thesis will be organized as follows, first I will start with a literature review about the linear regression problem and introduce in details about the ridge and LASSO and explain more precisely about their limitations in high-dimensional problems. Then I will introduce my new method called supervised ridge regression and show the reasons why it should dominate the ridge and LASSO in high-dimensional problems, and some simulation results will be demonstrated to strengthen my argument. Finally I will conclude with the possible limitations of my method and point out possible directions for further investigations.

The insertion of product terms into analytical model to test for presence of interaction effect is very common in economic, social and health sciences has two disadvantages: First, it has long been criticized for that existence of interaction is model dependent (Greenland (2009) and Mauderly and Samet (2009)). Second, this classical concept for interaction effect measurement shares the unawareness in common effect identification (Baron and Kenny (1986)) measuring the influences of explanatory variables only on regression function’s slope parameters ignoring its impact on its intercept parameter. We initiate in this research in a regression set-up interaction with a systematic definition and derivation of interaction effect on the regression function. The parametric interaction regression parameters are presented and their parametric maximum likelihood estimations are introduced and verified with simulation studies. Data analysis will also be presented.

In nonparametric regression analysis, local linear estimator (LLE) enjoys both smaller asymptotic bias and smaller asymptotic variance. However, Seifert and Gasser (1996) pointed out that in finite sample situations, when the design points are sparse or when design points are close to each other, LLE has unbounded conditional variance. The curve that estimated from the LLE has rough appearance accordingly; In order to improve this problem, Seifert and Gasser (1996) combines the local linear smoothing method and ridge regression to construct the local linear ridge regression estimator (LLRRE). This thesis use local linear ridge regression method of Seifert and Gasser (1996) to improve the estimation of semiparametric regression which comprises both parametric and nonparametric regression component. A cross-validation method is used to select the optimal bandwidth and ridge regression parameters. According to the simulation results, when LLE and LLRRE both use their respective cross validated parameters, the LLRRE’s nonparametric regression function estimates have significantly smaller sample mean integrated square error than that of the LLE’s. And the latter method’s coefficient estimates of parametric regression component have significantly smaller mean square errors than that of the former’s.

A monotone nonparametric regression model is considered and a constrained weighted least squares solution is proposed for estimating monotone smooth functions from noisy data.The estimate obtained guarantees the monotonicity requirement.An efficient algorithm for computing the proposed solution is developed based on Lemke's algorithm for solving linear complemetarity problems.The leave-one-out cross validation method was adopted for the bandwidth selection.In addition,we propose a monotone nonparametric quantile regression method for interval estimation of the mean function.An iterative algorithm is developed for computing the quantile estimates.The proposed methods are demonstrated by some simulated numerical examples and a real example.The results indicate that the proposed methods are quite promising.
