Evidence of linkage is expressed as a decreasing trend of the squared trait difference of two siblings with increasing identical by descent scores. In contrast to successes in the application of a parametric approach of Haseman-Elston regression, notably low powers are demonstrated in the nonparametric linkage analysis methods for complex traits and diseases with sib-pairs data. We report that the Genehunter nonparametric linkage statistic is biased and furthermore the variance formula that they used is an inflated one, and this is one reason for a low performance. Thus, we propose bias-corrected nonparametric linkage statistics. Simulation studies comparing our proposed nonparametric test statistics versus the existing test statistics suggest that the bias-corrected new nonparametric test statistics are more powerful and attains efficiencies close to that of Haseman-Elston regression.

Nonparametric kernel regression has recently gained widespread acceptance as an attractive method for the nonparametric estimation of the mean function from noisy regression data. Also, the practical implementation of kernel method is enhanced by the availability of reliable rule for automatic selection of the bandwidth. In this article, we propose a method for automatic selection of the bandwidth that minimizes the asymptotic mean square error. Then, the estimated bandwidth by the proposed method is compared with the theoretical optimal bandwidth and a bandwidth by plug-in method. Simulation study is performed and shows satisfactory behavior of the proposed method.

We consider an estimation of discontinuous variance function in nonparametric heteroscedastic random design regression model. We first propose estimators of a change point and jump size in variance function and then construct an estimator of entire variance function. We examine the rates of convergence of these estimators and give results on their asymptotics. Numerical work reveals that the effectiveness of change point analysis in variance function estimation is quite significant.

We investigate some statistical properties of several dierence-based error variance estimators in nonparametric regression model. Most of existing dierence-based methods are developed under asymptotical properties. Our focus is on the exact form of mean and variance for the lag-k dierence-based estimator and the second-order dierence-based estimator in a nite sample size. Our approach can be extended to Tong's estimator (2005) and be helpful to obtain optimal k.

In this paper, we main study the strong law of large numbers and complete convergence for weighted sums of asymptotically almost negatively associated (AANA, in short) random variables, by using the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type moment inequality and Roenthal type moment inequality for AANA random variables. As an application, the complete consistency for the weighted linear estimator of nonparametric regression models based on AANA errors is obtained. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to verify the validity of our theoretical result.

이 논문에서는 비선형 자기회귀 과정을 따르는 오차항을 포함한 회귀모형에서 계수추정법의 비교를 다룬다. 비교를 위해 통상적 최소제곱추정량, 일반화 최소제곱추정량, 모수적 회귀오차 수정법, 비모수적 회귀오차 추정법을 비교하였다. 본 논문에서는 또한 비선형 자기회귀모형의 성질을 전형적인 몇가지 비선형자기회귀 모형을 예를 들어 설명한다. 비교연구의 결과 네 가지 추정량 중에 모든 상황에서 최선인 추정량은 존재하지 않았으나 비모수 회귀오차 수정 방법이 일반적으로 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.

수문변량 사이의 관계는 대부분 비선형 관계를 보이고 있다. 일반적으로 이런 비선형 관계는 어떤 선행하는 명백한 하나의 함수적인 형태로 표현할 수 없는 것이 일반적이다. 본 논문에서는, 비매개변수적 다변량 회귀분석 방법을 지역적으로 가중된 다항식을 이용하여 비선형 예상 함수를 추정하였다. 지역적으로 가중된 다항식은 추정치 각 점에서의 인접한 이웃자료를 가지고 목적 함수를 테일러 급수 확장을 통하여 고려하였다. 이런 비매개변수적 회귀분석을 실용성을 Great Salt Lake의 격주 체적자료에 대한 단기간 예측을 통하여 보여주었다.

If the regression function has jump points, nonparametric estimation method based on local smoothing is not statistically consistent. Therefore, when we estimate regression function, it is quite important to know whether it is reasonable to assume that regression function is continuous. If the regression function appears to have jump points, then we should estimate first the location of jump points. In this paper, we propose a procedure which can do both the testing hypothesis of discontinuity of regression function and the estimation of the number and the location of jump points simultaneously. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through a simulation study. We also apply the procedure to real data sets as examples.

Consider the problem of estimating regression function from a set of data which is contaminated by a long-tailed error distribution. The linear smoother is a kind of a local weighted average of response, so it is not robust against outliers. The kernel M-smoother and the lowess attain robustness against outliers by down-weighting outliers. However, the kernel M-smoother and the lowess requires the iteration for computing the robustness weights, and as Wang and Scott(1994) pointed out, the requirement of iteration is not a desirable property. In this article, we propose the robust nonparametic regression method which does not require the iteration. Robustness can be achieved not only by down-weighting outliers but also by transforming outliers. The rank transformation is a simple procedure where the data are replaced by their corresponding ranks. Iman and Conover(1979) showed the fact that the rank transformation is a robust and powerful procedure in the linear regression. In this paper, we show that we can also use the rank transformation to nonparametric regression to achieve the robustness.
