Robust K-means Clustering using the Density Power Divergence Measure

Anirban Mondal, Paromita Banerjee, Abhijit Mandal

We introduce a robust clustering method, MK-means DPD, that estimates cluster centers and covariance matrices using density power divergence (DPD) measures combined with Mahalanobi…

Robust Density Power Divergence Estimates for Panel Data Models

Abhijit Mandal, Beste Hamiye Beyaztas, Soutir Bandyopadhyay

The panel data regression models have become one of the most widely applied statistical approaches in different fields of research, including social, behavioral, environmental scie…

A robust specification test in linear panel data models

Beste Hamiye Beyaztas, Soutir Bandyopadhyay, Abhijit Mandal

The presence of outlying observations may adversely affect statistical testing procedures that result in unstable test statistics and unreliable inferences depending on the distort…

A Two Stage Adaptive Metropolis Algorithm

Anirban Mondal, Kai Yin, Abhijit Mandal

We propose a new sampling algorithm combining two quite powerful ideas in the Markov chain Monte Carlo literature -- adaptive Metropolis sampler and two-stage Metropolis-Hastings s…

Robust Inference Using the Exponential-Polynomial Divergence

Pushpinder Singh, Abhijit Mandal, Ayanendranath Basu

Density-based minimum divergence procedures represent popular techniques in parametric statistical inference. They combine strong robustness properties with high (sometimes full) a…

Robust Variable Selection Criteria for the Penalized Regression

Abhijit Mandal, Samiran Ghosh

We propose a robust variable selection procedure using a divergence based M-estimator combined with a penalty function. It produces robust estimates of the regression parameters an…

An Optimal Test for the Additive Model with Discrete or Categorical Predictors

Abhijit Mandal

In multivariate nonparametric regression the additive models are very useful when a suitable parametric model is difficult to find. The backfitting algorithm is a powerful tool to…

Stratified Random Sampling for Dependent Inputs

Anirban Mondal, Abhijit Mandal

A new approach of obtaining stratified random samples from statistically dependent random variables is described. The proposed method can be used to obtain samples from the input s…

The B-Exponential Divergence and its Generalizations with Applications to Parametric Estimation

Taranga Mukherjee, Abhijit Mandal, Ayanendranath Basu

In this paper a new family of minimum divergence estimators based on the Bregman divergence is proposed, where the defining convex function has an exponential nature. These estimat…

A Robust Wald-type Test for Testing the Equality of Two Means from Log-Normal Samples

Ayanendranath Basu, Abhijit Mandal, Nirian Martin +1

The log-normal distribution is one of the most common distributions used for modeling skewed and positive data. It frequently arises in many disciplines of science, specially in th…

Robust Wald-type test in GLM with random design based on minimum density power divergence estimators

Ayanendranath Basu, Abhik Ghosh, Abhijit Mandal +2

We consider the problem of robust inference under the generalized linear model (GLM) with stochastic covariates. We derive the properties of the minimum density power divergence es…

A Wald-type test statistic for testing linear hypothesis in logistic regression models based on minimum density power divergence estimator

Ayandrendanath Basu, Abhik Ghosh, Abhijit Mandal +2

In this paper a robust version of the classical Wald test statistics for linear hypothesis in the logistic regression model is introduced and its properties are explored. We study…

Influence Analysis of Robust Wald-type Tests

Abhik Ghosh, Abhijit Mandal, Nirian Martin +1

We consider a robust version of the classical Wald test statistics for testing simple and composite null hypotheses for general parametric models. These test statistics are based o…

Testing Composite Hypothesis based on the Density Power Divergence

Ayanendranath Basu, Abhijit Mandal, Nirian Martin +1

In any parametric inference problem, the robustness of the procedure is a real concern. A procedure which retains a high degree of efficiency under the model and simultaneously pro…
