Robust nonparametric estimation via wavelet median regression
Lawrence D. Brown, T. Tony Cai, Harrison H. Zhou
In this paper we develop a nonparametric regression method that is simultaneously adaptive over a wide range of function classes for the regression function and robust over a large…
Admissible predictive density estimation
Lawrence D. Brown, Edward I. George, Xinyi Xu
Let and be independent -dimensional multivariate normal vectors with common unknown mean . Based on observing , we consider t…
Alternative formulas for synthetic dual system estimation in the 2000 census
Lawrence Brown, Zhanyun Zhao
The U.S. Census Bureau provides an estimate of the true population as a supplement to the basic census numbers. This estimate is constructed from data in a post-censal survey. The…
Effect of mean on variance function estimation in nonparametric regression
Lie Wang, Lawrence D. Brown, T. Tony Cai +1
Variance function estimation in nonparametric regression is considered and the minimax rate of convergence is derived. We are particularly interested in the effect of the unknown m…
In-season prediction of batting averages: A field test of empirical Bayes and Bayes methodologies
Lawrence D. Brown
Batting average is one of the principle performance measures for an individual baseball player. It is natural to statistically model this as a binomial-variable proportion, with a…
