  • Estimation of Network Parameters in Semiparametric Stochastic Perceptron
    Neural Computation, 1994
    Co-Authors: Motoaki Kawanabe, Shun-ichi Amari
    Abstract:

    It was reported (Kabashima and Shinomoto 1992) that Estimators of a binary decision boundary show asymptotically strange behaviors when the probability model is ill-posed or semiparametric. We give a rigorous analysis of this phenomenon in a stochastic perceptron by using the estimating function method. A stochastic perceptron consists of a neuron that is excited depending on the weighted sum of inputs but its probability distribution form is unknown here. It is shown that there exists no √n-Consistent Estimator of the threshold value h, that is, no Estimator h that converges to h in the order of 1/ √n as the number n of observations increases. Therefore, the accuracy of estimation is much worse in this semiparametric case with an unspecified probability function than in the ordinary case. On the other hand, it is shown that there is a √n-Consistent Estimator ŵ of the synaptic weight vector. These results elucidate strange behaviors of learning curves in a semiparametric statistical model.

  • a simple Consistent Estimator for disturbance components in financial models
    The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1990
    Co-Authors: James A Levinsohn, Jeffrey K Mackiemason
    Abstract:

    Many recent papers have estimated components of the disturbance term in the "market model" of equity returns. In particular, several studies of regulatory changes and other policy events have decomposed the event effects in order to allow for heterogeneity across firms. In this paper we demonstrate that the econometric method applied in some papers yields biased and inConsistent estimates of the model parameters. We demonstrate the consistency of a simple and easily-implemented alternative method.
