In the present study, a combined ratio cum regression estimator is proposed to estimate the population mean of the study variable in the presence of a non-response using an auxiliary variable under double sampling. The expressions of bias and mean squared error(MSE) based on the proposed estimator is derived under double (or two stage) sampling to the first degree of approximation. Some estimators are also derived from the proposed class by allocating the suitable values of constants used. A comparison of the proposed estimator with the usual unbiased estimator and other derived estimators is carried out. An empirical study is carried out to demonstrate the performance of the suggested estimator and of others; it is endow that the empirical results backing the theoretical study.

The estimation of extreme quantiles is one of the main objectives of statistics of extremes (which deals with the estimation of rare events). In this paper, a robust estimator of extreme quantile of a heavy-tailed distribution is considered. The estimator is obtained through the minimum density power divergence criterion on an exponential regression model. The proposed estimator was compared with two estimators of extreme quantiles in the literature in a simulation study. The results show that the proposed estimator is stable to the choice of the number of top order statistics and show lesser bias and mean square error compared to the existing extreme quantile estimators. Practical application of the proposed estimator is illustrated with data from the pedochemical and insurance industries.

Simulation results for the comparison of estimators of interest are usually reported in tables or plots. However, if the simulations are conducted under various conditions for many estimators, the comparison can be difficult to be made with tables or plots. Furthermore, for algorithms that take a long time to run, the number of iterations of the simulation is costly to to be increased. The analysis of simulation results using regression models allows us to compare the estimators more systematically and effectively. Since variances in performance measures may vary depending on the simulation conditions and estimators, the heteroscedasticity of the error term should be allowed in the regression model. And multiple comparisons should be made because multiple estimators should be compared simultaneously. We introduce background theories of heteroscedasticity and multiple comparisons in the context of analyzing simulation results. We also present a concrete example.

A simple method is proposed to detect the number of change points with jump discontinuities in nonparamteric regression functions. The proposed estimators are based on a local linear regression fit by the comparison of left and right one-side kernel smoother. Also, the proposed methodology is suggested as the test statistic for detecting of change points and the direction of jump discontinuities.

In this paper we propose an estimation method for regression quantiles with left-truncated and right-censored data. The estimation procedure is based on the weight determined by the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the distribution of the response. We show how the proposed regression quantile estimators perform through analyses of Stanford heart transplant data and AIDS incubation data. We also investigate the effect of censoring on regression quantiles through simulation study.

To overcome boundary problems with wavelet regression, we propose a simple method that reduces bias at the boundaries. It is based on a combination of wavelet functions and low-order polynomials. The utility of the method is illustrated with simulation studies and a real example. Asymptotic results show that the estimators are competitive with other nonparametric procedures.

Since it is well-established that even high quality data tend to contain outliers, one would expect fat? greater reliance on robust regression techniques than is actually observed. But most of all robust regression estimators suffers from the computational difficulties and the lower efficiency than the least squares under the normal error model. The weighted self-tuning estimator (WSTE) recently suggested by Lee (2004) has no more computational difficulty and it has the asymptotic normality and the high break-down point simultaneously. Although it has better properties than the other robust estimators, WSTE does not have full efficiency under the normal error model through the weighted least squares which is widely used. This paper introduces a new approach as called the reweighted WSTE (RWSTE), whose scale estimator is adaptively estimated by the self-tuning constant. A Monte Carlo study shows that new approach has better behavior than the general weighted least squares method under the normal model and the large data.

We consider two semiparametric regression lines where the density of the error terms are unknown. We give simultaneous estimatros of the differences of intercepts and slopes which turn out to be asymptotically minimax as well as efficient in semiparametric sense.
