We consider a nonparametric additive risk model that is based on splines. This model consists of both purely and smoothly nonparametric components. As an estimation method of this model, we use the weighted least square estimation by Huller and Mckeague (1991). We provide an illustrative example as well as a simulation study that compares the performance of our method with the ordinary least square method.

This paper considers the test of money and income causality. Jeong (1991, 2003) developed a nonparametric causality test based on the kernel estimation method. We apply the nonparametric test to USA data of money and income. We also compare the test results with ones of the conventional parametric test.

Predicting a variable using other variables in a large data set is a very difficult task. It involves selecting variables to include in a model and determining the shape of the relationship between variables. Nonparametric regression such as smoothing splines and neural networks are widely-used methods for such a task. We propose an alternative method based on a genetic algorithm(GA) to solve this problem. We applied GA to regression splines, a nonparametric regression method, to estimate functional forms between variables. Using several simulated and real data, our technique is shown to outperform traditional nonparametric methods such as smoothing splines and neural networks.

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.

반복이 있는 랜덤화 블록 계획법을 검정하는 비모수 검정방법에는 Mack과 Skillings (1980)가 제안한 검정법이 있다. 이 방법은 각 블록의 처리에서 반복된 각 관측값 대신에 반복된 관측값들의 평균을 이용하여 순위를 매기기 때문에 정보의 손실이 있을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 Hodges와 Lehmann (1962)이 제안한 정렬방법을 이용하여 새로운 비모수 검정법을 제안한다. 또한 모의실험을 통하여 여러 비모수 검정방법들의 검정력을 비교하였다.

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.

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.

We consider a general semiparametric additive risk model that consists of three components. They are parametric, purely and smoothly nonparametric components. In parametric component, time dependent term is known up to proportional constant. In purely nonparametric component, time dependent term is an unknown function, and time dependent term in smoothly nonparametric component is an unknown but smoothly function. As an estimation method of this model, we use the weighted least square estimation by Huffer and McKeague (1991). We provide an illustrative example as well as a simulation study that compares the performance of our method with the ordinary least square method.

This paper suggests a method to construct nonparametric edge blend surfaces between nonparametric (base) surfaces. The blend surface satisfy $VC^1$ condition for the base surfaces, and its fullness can be controlled easily. Several illustrative examples are shown.
