Semiparametric models play important roles in the field of biological statistics. In this dissertation, two types of semiparametic models are to be studied. One is the partially linear model, where the parametric part is a linear function. We are to investigate the two common estimation methods...

This paper considers the problem of parameter estimation in a general class of semiparametric models when observations are subject to missingness at random. The semiparametric models allow for estimating functions that are non-smooth with respect to the parameter. We propose a nonparametric...

Summary This study presents a first comparative analysis of Lasso-type (Lasso, adaptive Lasso, elastic net) and … heuristic subset selection methods. Although the Lasso has shown success in many situations, it has some limitations. In … particular, inconsistent results are obtained for pairwise highly correlated predictors. An alternative to the Lasso is …

This paper establishes non-asymptotic oracle inequalities for the prediction error and estimation accuracy of the LASSO … in stationary vector autoregressive models. These inequalities are used to establish consistency of the LASSO even when … excluded. Next, non-asymptotic probabilities are given for the Adaptive LASSO to select the correct sign pattern (and hence the …
