This paper is about optimal estimation of the additive components of a nonparametric, additive isotone regression model. It is shown that asymptotically up to first order, each additive component can be estimated as well as it could be by a least squares estimator if the other components were known. The algorithm for the calculation of the estimator uses backfitting. Convergence of the algorithm is shown. Finite sample properties are also compared through simulation experiments.

In this paper we introduce a novel model for Gaussian process (GP) regression in the fully Bayesian setting. Motivated by the ideas of sparsification, localization and Bayesian additive modeling, our model is built around a recursive partitioning (RP
) scheme. Within each RP partition, a sparse GP (SGP) regression model is fitted. A Bayesian additive framework then combines multiple layers of partitioned SGPs, capturing both global trends and local refinements with efficient computations. The model addresses both the problem of efficiency in fitting a full Gaussian process regression model and the problem of prediction performance associated with a single SGP. Our approach mitigates the issue of pseudo-input selection and avoids the need for complex inter-block correlations in existing methods. The crucial trade-off becomes choosing between many simpler local model components or fewer complex global model components, which the practitioner can sensibly tune. Implementation is via a Metropolis-Hasting Markov chain Monte-Carlo algorithm with Bayesian back-fitting. We compare our model against popular alternatives on simulated and real datasets, and find the performance is competitive, while the fully Bayesian procedure enables the quantification of model uncertainties.
We present a new class of methods for high-dimensional nonparametric regression and classification called sparse additive models (SpAM). Our methods combine ideas from sparse linear modeling and additive nonparametric regression. We derive an algorit
hm for fitting the models that is practical and effective even when the number of covariates is larger than the sample size. SpAM is closely related to the COSSO model of Lin and Zhang (2006), but decouples smoothing and sparsity, enabling the use of arbitrary nonparametric smoothers. An analysis of the theoretical properties of SpAM is given. We also study a greedy estimator that is a nonparametric version of forward stepwise regression. Empirical results on synthetic and real data are presented, showing that SpAM can be effective in fitting sparse nonparametric models in high dimensional data.
We consider a nonparametric additive model of a conditional mean function in which the number of variables and additive components may be larger than the sample size but the number of nonzero additive components is small relative to the sample size.
The statistical problem is to determine which additive components are nonzero. The additive components are approximated by truncated series expansions with B-spline bases. With this approximation, the problem of component selection becomes that of selecting the groups of coefficients in the expansion. We apply the adaptive group Lasso to select nonzero components, using the group Lasso to obtain an initial estimator and reduce the dimension of the problem. We give conditions under which the group Lasso selects a model whose number of components is comparable with the underlying model, and the adaptive group Lasso selects the nonzero components correctly with probability approaching one as the sample size increases and achieves the optimal rate of convergence. The results of Monte Carlo experiments show that the adaptive group Lasso procedure works well with samples of moderate size. A data example is used to illustrate the application of the proposed method.
Various events in the nature, economics and in other areas force us to combine the study of extremes with regression and other methods. A useful tool for reducing the role of nuisance regression, while we are interested in the shape or tails of the b
asic distribution, is provided by the averaged regression quantile and namely by the average extreme regression quantile. Both are weighted means of regression quantile components, with weights depending on the regressors. Our primary interest is the averaged extreme regression quantile (AERQ), its structure, qualities and its applications, e.g. in investigation of a conditional loss given a value exogenous economic and market variables. AERQ has several interesting equivalent forms: While it is originally defined as an optimal solution of a specific linear programming problem, hence is a weighted mean of responses corresponding to the optimal base of the pertaining linear program, we give another equivalent form as a maximum residual of responses from a specific R-estimator of the slope components of regression parameter. The latter form shows that while AERQ equals to the maximum of some residuals of the responses, it has minimal possible perturbation by the regressors. Notice that these finite-sample results are true even for non-identically distributed model errors, e.g. under heteroscedasticity. Moreover, the representations are formally true even when the errors are dependent - this all provokes a question of the right interpretation and of other possible applications.
In this paper we discuss the estimation of a nonparametric component $f_1$ of a nonparametric additive model $Y=f_1(X_1) + ...+ f_q(X_q) + epsilon$. We allow the number $q$ of additive components to grow to infinity and we make sparsity assumptions a
bout the number of nonzero additive components. We compare this estimation problem with that of estimating $f_1$ in the oracle model $Z= f_1(X_1) + epsilon$, for which the additive components $f_2,dots,f_q$ are known. We construct a two-step presmoothing-and-resmoothing estimator of $f_1$ and state finite-sample bounds for the difference between our estimator and some smoothing estimators $hat f_1^{text{(oracle)}}$ in the oracle model. In an asymptotic setting these bounds can be used to show asymptotic equivalence of our estimator and the oracle estimators; the paper thus shows that, asymptotically, under strong enough sparsity conditions, knowledge of $f_2,dots,f_q$ has no effect on estimation accuracy. Our first step is to estimate $f_1$ with an undersmoothed estimator based on near-orthogonal projections with a group Lasso bias correction. We then construct pseudo responses $hat Y$ by evaluating a debiased modification of our undersmoothed estimator of $f_1$ at the design points. In the second step the smoothing method of the oracle estimator $hat f_1^{text{(oracle)}}$ is applied to a nonparametric regression problem with responses $hat Y$ and covariates $X_1$. Our mathematical exposition centers primarily on establishing properties of the presmoothing estimator. We present simulation results demonstrating close-to-oracle performance of our estimator in practical applications.
