The Regression Smoother Lowess: A Confidence Band That Allows Heteroscedasticity And Has Some Specified Simultaneous Probability Coverage, Rand Wilcox
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Many nonparametric regression estimators (smoothers) have been proposed that provide a more flexible method for estimating the true regression line compared to using some of the more obvious parametric models. A basic goal when using any smoother is computing a confidence band for the true regression line. Let M(Y|X) be some conditional measure of location associated with the random variable Y, given X and let x be some specific value of the covariate. When using the LOWESS estimator, an extant method that assumes homoscedasticity can be used to compute a confidence interval for M(Y|X = x). A trivial way of …

Nonparametric Compound Estimation, Derivative Estimation, And Change Point Detection, Sisheng Liu
Theses and Dissertations--Statistics
Firstly, we reviewed some popular nonparameteric regression methods during the past several decades. Then we extended the compound estimation (Charnigo and Srinivasan [2011]) to adapt random design points and heteroskedasticity and proposed a modified Cp criteria for tuning parameter selection. Moreover, we developed a DCp criteria for tuning paramter selection problem in general nonparametric derivative estimation. This extends GCp criteria in Charnigo, Hall and Srinivasan [2011] with random design points and heteroskedasticity. Next, we proposed a change point detection method via compound estimation for both fixed design and random design case, the adaptation of heteroskedasticity was considered for the method. …
