An Approximation Based Theory of Linear Regression

Laurie Davies

The goal of this paper is to provide a theory linear regression based entirely on approximations. It will be argued that the standard linear regression model based theory whether f…

Covariate Selection Based on a Model-free Approach to Linear Regression with Exact Probabilities

Laurie Davies, Lutz Dümbgen

In this paper we give a completely new approach to the problem of covariate selection in linear regression. A covariate or a set of covariates is included only if it is better in t…

Linear Regression, Covariate Selection and the Failure of Modelling

Laurie Davies

It is argued that all model based approaches to the selection of covariates in linear regression have failed. This applies to frequentist approaches based on P-values and to Bayesi…

Excess deaths, baselines, Z-scores, P-scores and peaks

Laurie Davies

The recent Covid-19 epidemic has lead to comparisons of the countries suffering from it. These are based on the number of excess deaths attributed either directly or indirectly to…

Connecting model-based and model-free approaches to linear least squares regression

Lutz Duembgen, Laurie Davies

In a regression setting with a response vector and given regressor vectors, a typical question is to what extent the response is related to these regressors, specifically, how well…

Lasso, knockoff and Gaussian covariates: a comparison

Laurie Davies

Given data and covariates one problem in linear regression is to decide which if any of the covariates to include when regressing the dependent vari…

Statistical Analysis of the Ricker Model

Laurie Davies

The Ricker model was introduced in the context of managing fishing stocks. It is a discrete non-linear iterative model given by where is the popula…

Stylized Facts and Simulating Long Range Financial Data

Laurie Davies, Walter Krämer

We propose a new method (implemented in an R-program) to simulate long-range daily stock-price data. The program reproduces various stylized facts much better than various parametr…

On -values

Laurie Davies

Models are consistently treated as approximations and all procedures are consistent with this. They do not treat the model as being true. In this context -values are one measure…

Stepwise Choice of Covariates in High Dimensional Regression

Laurie Davies

Given data y(n) and p(n)covariates x(n) one problem in linear regression is to decide which if any of the covariates to include. There are many articles on this problem but all are…

Functional Choice and Non-significance Regions in Regression

Laurie Davies

Given data and covariates the problem is to decide which covariates to include when approximating by a linear function of the covariates. The decision is based on r…

Locally adaptive image denoising by a statistical multiresolution criterion

Thomas Hotz, Philipp Marnitz, Rahel Stichtenoth +3

We demonstrate how one can choose the smoothing parameter in image denoising by a statistical multiresolution criterion, both globally and locally. Using inhomogeneous diffusion an…
