Abstrak : Length-biased data are often encountered in cross-sectional surveys and prevalent-cohort studies on disease durations. Under length-biased sampling subjects with longer disease durations have greater chance to be observed. As a result, covariate values linked to the longer survivors are favored by the sampling mechanism. When the sampled durations are also subject to right censoring, the censoring is informative. Modeling dependence structure without adjusting for these issues leads to biased results. In this article, we consider copulas for modeling dependence when the collected data are length-biased and account for both informative censoring and covariate bias that are naturally linked to length-biased sampling. We address nonparametric estimation of the bivariate distribution, copula function and its density, and Kendall and Spearman measures for right-censored length-biased data. The proposed estimator for the bivariate cdf is a Hadamard-differentiable functional of two MLEs (Kaplan–Meier and empirical cdf) and inherits their efficiency. Based on this estimator, we devise two estimators for copula function and a local-polynomial estimator for copula density that accounts for boundary bias. The limiting processes of the estimators are established by deriving their iid representations. As a by-product, we establish the oscillation behavior of the bivariate cdf estimator. In addition, we introduce estimators for Kendall and Spearman measures and study their weak convergence. The proposed method is applied to analyze a set of right-censored length-biased data on survival with dementia, collected as part of a nationwide study in Canada.

Abstrak : Inferences from different data sources can often be fused together, a process referred to as “fusion learning,” to yield more powerful findings than those from individual data sources alone. Effective fusion learning approaches are in growing demand as increasing number of data sources have become easily available in this big data era. This article proposes a new fusion learning approach, called “iFusion,” for drawing efficient individualized inference by fusing learnings from relevant data sources. Specifically, iFusion (i) summarizes inferences from individual data sources as individual confidence distributions (CDs); (ii) forms a clique of individuals that bear relevance to the target individual and then combines the CDs from those relevant individuals; and, finally, (iii) draws inference for the target individual from the combined CD. In essence, iFusion strategically “borrows strength” from relevant individuals to enhance the efficiency of the target individual inference while preserving its validity. This article focuses on the setting where each individual study has a number of observations but its inference can be further improved by incorporating additional information from similar studies that is referred to as its clique. Under the setting, iFusion is shown to achieve oracle property under suitable conditions. It is also shown to be flexible and robust in handling heterogeneity arising from diverse data sources. The development is ideally suited for goal-directed applications. Computationally, iFusion is parallel in nature and scales up easily for big data. An efficient scalable algorithm is provided for implementation. Simulation studies and a real application in financial forecasting are presented. In effect, this article covers methodology, theory, computation, and application for individualized inference by iFusion.

GAP: A General Framework for Information Pooling in Two-Sample Sparse Inference

Pengarang : Yin Xia
Nama Majalah/Jurnal : Journal of the American Statistical Association
Volume / Edisi : 115 (No. 531)
Halaman : 1236-1250
Abstrak : This article develops a general framework for exploiting the sparsity information in two-sample multiple testing problems. We propose to first construct a covariate sequence, in addition to the usual primary test statistics, to capture the sparsity structure, and then incorporate the auxiliary covariates in inference via a three-step algorithm consisting of grouping, adjusting and pooling (GAP). The GAP procedure provides a simple and effective framework for information pooling. An important advantage of GAP is its capability of handling various dependence structures such as those arise from high-dimensional linear regression, differential correlation analysis, and differential network analysis. We establish general conditions under which GAP is asymptotically valid for false discovery rate control, and show that these conditions are fulfilled in a range of settings, including testing multivariate normal means, high-dimensional linear regression, differential covariance or correlation matrices, and Gaussian graphical models. Numerical results demonstrate that existing methods can be significantly improved by the proposed framework. The GAP procedure is illustrated using a breast cancer study for identifying gene–gene interactions.

Feature Selection by Canonical Correlation Search in High-Dimensional Multiresponse Models With Complex Group Structures

Abstrak : High-dimensional multiresponse models with complex group structures in both the response variables and the covariates arise from current researches in important fields such as genetics and medicine. However, no enough research has been done on such models. One of a few researches, if not the only one, is the article by Li, Nan, and Zhu where the sparse group Lasso approach is extended to such models. In this article, we propose a novel approach named the sequential canonical correlation search (SCCS) procedure. In the SCCS procedure, the nonzero group by group blocks of regression coefficients are searched stepwise using a canonical correlation measure. Each step of the procedure consists of a block selection and a sparsity identification. The model selection criterion, EBIC, is used as the stopping rule of the procedure. We establish the selection consistency of the SCCS procedure and conduct simulation studies for the comparison of existing methods. The SCCS procedure has two advantages over the sparse grouped Lasso method: (i) it is more accurate in the identification of nonzero coefficient blocks and their nonzero entries, and (ii) its implementation is not limited by the dimensionality of the models and requires much less computation. A real example in genetic studies is also considered. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

Testing for Jump Spillovers Without Testing for Jumps

Abstrak : This article develops statistical tools for testing conditional independence among the jump components of the daily quadratic variation, which we estimate using intraday data. To avoid sequential bias distortion, we do not pretest for the presence of jumps. If the null is true, our test statistic based on daily integrated jumps weakly converges to a Gaussian random variable if both assets have jumps. If instead at least one asset has no jumps, then the statistic approaches zero in probability. We show how to compute asymptotically valid bootstrap-based critical values that result in a consistent test with asymptotic size equal to or smaller than the nominal size. Empirically, we study jump linkages between US futures and equity index markets. We find not only strong evidence of jump cross-excitation between the SPDR exchange-traded fund and E-mini futures on the S&P 500 index, but also that integrated jumps in the E-mini futures during the overnight period carry relevant information. Supplementary materials for this article are available as an online supplement.

A Sparse Random Projection-Based Test for Overall Qualitative Treatment Effects

Abstrak : In contrast to the classical “one-size-fits-all” approach, precision medicine proposes the customization of individualized treatment regimes to account for patients’ heterogeneity in response to treatments. Most of existing works in the literature focused on estimating optimal individualized treatment regimes. However, there has been less attention devoted to hypothesis testing regarding the existence of overall qualitative treatment effects, especially when there are a large number of prognostic covariates. When covariates do not have qualitative treatment effects, the optimal treatment regime will assign the same treatment to all patients regardless of their covariate values. In this article, we consider testing the overall qualitative treatment effects of patients’ prognostic covariates in a high-dimensional setting. We propose a sample splitting method to construct the test statistic, based on a nonparametric estimator of the contrast function. When the dimension of covariates is large, we construct the test based on sparse random projections of covariates into a low-dimensional space. We prove the consistency of our test statistic. In the regular cases, we show the asymptotic power function of our test statistic is asymptotically the same as the “oracle” test statistic which is constructed based on the “optimal” projection matrix. Simulation studies and real data applications validate our theoretical findings. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
