  • Goodness‐of‐fit Tests for Semi‐Markov and Markov Survival Models with One Intermediate State
    Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 2001
    Co-Authors: I-shou Chang, Yuan-chuan Chuang, Chao A. Hsiung
    Abstract:

    Survival data with one intermediate state are described by semi-Markov and Markov models for counting processes whose intensities are defined in terms of two stopping times T 1 < T 2 , Problems of goodness-of-fit for these models are studied. The test statistics are proposed by comparing Nelson-Aalen estimators for data stratified according to T 1 . Asymptotic distributions of these statistics are established in terms of the weak convergence of some random fields. Asymptotic Consistency of these test statistics is also established. Simulation studies are included to indicate their numerical performance.

  • Asymptotic Consistency of the Maximum Likelihood Estimate in Positron Emission Tomography and Applications
    The Annals of Statistics, 1994
    Co-Authors: I-shou Chang, Chao A. Hsiung
    Abstract:

    This paper indicates that a minor modification of the maximum likelihood estimate of Vardi, Shepp and Kaufman can be regarded as a step in the standard nonparametric MLE by the method of sieves and establishes the Asymptotic Consistency for it. This method of sieves suggests that the number of pixels needs to be in line with the number of detectors in order to avoid poor image reconstructions. A simulation study is also presented to support this suggestion

  • A GENERALIZED BLOCK BOOTSTRAP FOR SEASONAL TIME SERIES
    Journal of Time Series Analysis, 2013
    Co-Authors: Anna E. Dudek, Efstathios Paparoditis, Jacek Leśkow, Dimitris N. Politis
    Abstract:

    When time-series data contain a periodic/seasonal component, the usual block bootstrap procedures are not directly applicable. We propose a modification of the block bootstrap – the generalized seasonal block bootstrap (GSBB) – and show its Asymptotic Consistency without undue restrictions on the relative size of the period and block size. Notably, it is exactly such restrictions that limit the applicability of other proposals of block bootstrap methods for time series with periodicities. The finite-sample performance of the GSBB is also illustrated by means of a small simulation experiment.

  • Local block bootstrap inference for trending time series
    Metrika, 2013
    Co-Authors: Arif Dowla, Efstathios Paparoditis, Dimitris N. Politis
    Abstract:

    Resampling for stationary sequences has been well studied in the last couple of decades. In the paper at hand, we focus on nonstationary time series data where the nonstationarity is due to a slowly-changing deterministic trend. We show that the local block bootstrap methodology is appropriate for inference under this locally stationary setting without the need of detrending the data. We prove the Asymptotic Consistency of the local block bootstrap in the smooth trend model, and complement the theoretical results by a finite-sample simulation.

  • Testing Time Series Linearity: Traditional and Bootstrap Methods
    Time Series Analysis: Methods and Applications, 2012
    Co-Authors: Arthur Berg, Timothy L. Mcmurry, Dimitris N. Politis
    Abstract:

    Abstract We review the notion of time series linearity and describe recent advances in linearity and Gaussianity testing via data resampling methodologies. Many advances have been made since the first published tests of linearity and Gaussianity by Subba Rao and Gabr in 1980, including several resampling-based proposals. This chapter is intended to be instructive in explaining and motivating linearity testing. Recent results on the validity of the AR-sieve bootstrap for linearity testing are reviewed. In addition, a subsampling-based linearity and Gaussianity test is proposed where Asymptotic Consistency of the testing procedure is justified.

  • Balanced Confidence Regions Based on Tukey’s Depth and the Bootstrap
    Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B (Statistical Methodology), 1997
    Co-Authors: Arthur B. Yeh, Kesar Singh
    Abstract:

    SUMMARY We propose and study the bootstrap confidence regions for multivariate parameters based on Tukey's depth. The bootstrap is based on the normalized or Studentized statistic formed from an independent and identically distributed random sample obtained from some unknown distribution in Rq. The bootstrap points are deleted on the basis of Tukey's depth until the desired confidence level is reached. The proposed confidence regions are shown to be second order balanced in the context discussed by Beran. We also study the Asymptotic Consistency of Tukey's depth-based bootstrap confidence regions. The applicability of the method proposed is demonstrated in a simulation study.
