Smothing Spline Estimation for Nonparametric Model of Longitudinal Data

摘要: 近几十年来, 纵向数据的统计推断成为统计前沿研究的热点问题之一, 并且广泛应用于金融、医药、农业等各个领域. 纵向数据的特点是不同样本点的观测值之间是相互独立的, 而在同一个样本点得到的观测值是相关的, 并且随着计算机技术的发展, 各种非参数估计方法成功地应用于纵向数据模型的估计. 本文利用Cholesky分解及Profile最小二乘估计, 针对纵向数据协方差矩阵未知情况的非参数模型提出有效的样条估计方法, 最后通过一个例子的模拟结果比较, 本文所提出的方法在协方差未知情形下比Naive样条估计更优越.Abstract: In the last few decades, longitudinal data was deeply research in statistics science and widely used in many field, such as finance, medical science, agriculture and so on. The characteristic of longitudinal data is that the values are independent from different samples but they are correlate from one sample. Many nonparametric estimation methods were applied into longitudinal data models with development of computer technology. Using Cholesky decomposition and Profile least squares estimation, we will propose a effective spline estimation method pointing at nonparametric model of longitudinal data with covariance matrix unknown in this paper. Finally, we point that the new proposed method is more superior than Naive spline estimation in the covariance matrix is unknown case by comparing the simulated results of one example.
