메타분석(Meta-analysis)은 서로 독립적으로 연구되어진 결과들을 전체적인 하나의 결과로 도출하기 위해 사용되어지는 통계적 방법이다. 이러한 통계적 방법을 설명할 모형으로는 선택모형(selection model)을 포함한 계층적 모형(hierarchical model)을 사용하며, 이러한 모형들은 베이지안 메타분석에 유용한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나, 메타분석의 자료들은 일반적으로 출판편의(publication bias)를 갖고 있으므로 이를 극복하고자 가중함수(weight function)를 이용하여 분포함수를 새롭게 정의하여 사용한다. 최근에 Silliman(1997)은 계층적 모형(hierarchical model)에 가중함수를 첨부한 계층적 선택모형(hierarchical selection model)을 정의하고 모수적 베이지안 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 미관측된 연구효과에 디리슈레 과정 사전분포(Dirichlet process prior)를 적용한 준모수적 계층적 선택모형(semiparametric hierarchical selection models)을 소개한다. 여기서 제시된 준모수적 계층적 선택모형을 베이지안 방법으로 추정하기 위하여 마코프 연쇄 몬테칼로(Markov chain Monte Carlo)방법을 이용한다. 제시된 방법을 적용하기 위하여 실제 자료(Johnson, 1993)인 충치를 예방하기 위한 두 가지의 예방약의 효과에 대한 차이를 비교하기 위해 얻어진 12개의 연구를 이용하여 메타분석을 한다.

의학이나 사회과학에서 이진 데이터 분석 시 랜덤 절편(random intercept)을 갖는 로지스틱 모형이 유용하게 쓰이고 있다. 지금까지는 이러한 로지스틱 모형에서 랜덤 절편이 정규분포와 같은 모수 모형(parametric model)을 따른다는 가정과 설명변수와 랜덤 절편이 독립이라는 가정 하에 실행된 데이터 분석이 전반적이었다. 그러나 이러한 두 가지 가정은 다소 무리가 있다. 이 연구에서는 설명 변수와 랜덤 절편의 독립성을 가정하지 않고, 비모수 랜덤 절편을 따르는 로지스틱 모형의 방법론을 기존에 널리 쓰인 방법과 비교하여 설명하도록 한다. 케냐의 초등학생들의 영양 섭취 및 질병의 발병을 조사한 데이터에 이 방법을 적용하였다.

Weighted least squares (WLS) estimation is often easily used for the data with heteroscedastic errors because it is intuitive and computationally inexpensive. However, WLS estimator is less robust to a few outliers and sometimes it may be inefficient. In order to overcome robustness problems, Box-Cox transformation, Huber's M estimation, bisquare estimation, and Yohai's MM estimation have been proposed. Also, more efficient estimations than WLS have been suggested such as Bayesian methods (Cepeda and Achcar, 2009) and semiparametric methods (Kim and Ma, 2012) in heteroscedastic error models. Recently, Çelik (2015) proposed the weight methods applicable to the heteroscedasticity patterns including butterfly-distributed residuals and megaphone-shaped residuals. In this paper, we review heteroscedastic regression estimators related to robust or efficient estimation and describe their properties. Also, we analyze cost data of U.S. Electricity Producers in 1955 using the methods discussed in the paper.

We propose a semiparametric inference for a generalized varying coefficient partially linear model(VCPLM) for negative binomial data. The VCPLM is useful to model real data in that varying coefficients are a special type of interaction between explanatory variables and partially linear models fit both parametric and nonparametric terms. The negative binomial distribution often arise in modelling count data which usually are overdispersed. The varying coefficient function estimators and regression parameters in generalized VCPLM are obtained by formulating a penalized likelihood through smoothing splines for negative binomial data when the shape parameter is known. The performance of the proposed method is then evaluated by simulations.

Nonhomogeneous Poisson Process is often used to model failure times which occurred in software reliability and hardware reliability models. It can be characterized by its intensity functions or mean value functions. Many parametric intensity models have been proposed to account for the failure mechanism in real situation. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian semiparametric approach based on beta-mixtures. Two real datasets are analyzed.

The semiparametric gamma frailty models have been often used for multivariate survival analysis because they give an explicit marginal likelihood. The commonly used estimation procedure is the profile likelihood method based on marginal likelihood, which provides the same parameter estimates as the EM algorithm. In this paper we show in finite samples the standard profile-likelihood method can lead to an underestimation of parameters, particularly for the frailty parameter. To overcome this problem, we propose an adjusted profile-likelihood method. For the illustration a numerical example and a small-sample simulation study are presented.

Mixed-effect Poisson regression models are widely used for analysis of correlated count data such as those found in longitudinal studies. In this paper, we consider kernel extensions with semiparametric fixed effects and parametric random effects. The estimation is through the penalized likelihood method based on kernel trick and our focus is on the efficient computation and the effective hyperparameter selection. For the selection of hyperparameters, cross-validation techniques are employed. Examples illustrating usage and features of the proposed method are provided.

This study describes a new graphical method for assessing and characterizing effect modification by a matching covariate in matched case-control studies. This method to understand effect modification is based on a semiparametric model using a varying coefficient model. The method allows for nonparametric relationships between effect modification and other covariates, or can be useful in suggesting parametric models. This method can be applied to examining effect modification by any ordered categorical or continuous covariates for which cases have been matched with controls. The method applies to effect modification when causality might be reasonably assumed. An example from veterinary medicine is used to demonstrate our approach. The simulation results show that this method, when based on linear, quadratic and nonparametric effect modification, can be more powerful than both a parametric multiplicative model fit and a fully nonparametric generalized additive model fit.

In doubly-censored data, an originating event time and a terminating event time are interval-censored. In certain analyses of such data, a researcher might be interested in the elapsed time between the originating and terminating events as well as regression modeling with risk factors. Therefore, in this study, we introduce a model evaluation method to measure the predictive ability of a model based on negative predictive values. We use a semiparametric estimate of the predictive accuracy to provide a simple and flexible method for model evaluation of doubly-censored survival outcomes. Additionally, we used simulation studies and tested data from a prostate cancer trial to illustrate the practical advantages of our approach. We believe that this method could be widely used to build prediction models or nomograms.

본 연구에서는 잔차를 이용하여 오차항의 코플라 함수를 추정하는 문제를 고려하였다. 확률적 회귀모형을 개별모형으로 갖는 경우, 오차항 대신 잔차들의 경험적 분포함수를 이용하여 구한 코플라 모수에 대한 준모수적 추정량의 성질을 살펴보았으며, 이 추정량이 일치추정량이 되기 위한 조건을 구하였다. 응용사례로 코플라-자기회귀이동평균 모형을 다루었으며, 모의실험을 통해 자기회귀 근사를 통해 얻은 잔차를 이용하여 계산한 추정량의 성질도 살펴보았다.
