Fan, Gijbels and King [Ann. Statist. 25 (1997) 1661--1690] considered the estimation of the risk function $psi (x)$ in the proportional hazards model. Their proposed estimator is based on integrating the estimated derivative function obtained through a local version of the partial likelihood. They proved the large sample properties of the derivative function, but the large sample properties of the estimator for the risk function itself were not established. In this paper, we consider direct estimation of the relative risk function $psi (x_2)-psi (x_1)$ for any location normalization point $x_1$. The main novelty in our approach is that we select observations in shrinking neighborhoods of both $x_1$ and $x_2$ when constructing a local version of the partial likelihood, whereas Fan, Gijbels and King [Ann. Statist. 25 (1997) 1661--1690] only concentrated on a single neighborhood, resulting in the cancellation of the risk function in the local likelihood function. The asymptotic properties of our estimator are rigorously established and the variance of the estimator is easily estimated. The idea behind our approach is extended to estimate the differences between groups. A simulation study is carried out.

Smooth backfitting has proven to have a number of theoretical and practical advantages in structured regression. Smooth backfitting projects the data down onto the structured space of interest providing a direct link between data and estimator. This
paper introduces the ideas of smooth backfitting to survival analysis in a proportional hazard model, where we assume an underlying conditional hazard with multiplicative components. We develop asymptotic theory for the estimator and we use the smooth backfitter in a practical application, where we extend recent advances of in-sample forecasting methodology by allowing more information to be incorporated, while still obeying the structured requirements of in-sample forecasting.
We deal with a general class of extreme-value regression models introduced by Barreto- Souza and Vasconcellos (2011). Our goal is to derive an adjusted likelihood ratio statistic that is approximately distributed as c{hi}2 with a high degree of accur
acy. Although the adjusted statistic requires more computational effort than its unadjusted counterpart, it is shown that the adjustment term has a simple compact form that can be easily implemented in standard statistical software. Further, we compare the finite sample performance of the three classical tests (likelihood ratio, Wald, and score), the gradient test that has been recently proposed by Terrell (2002), and the adjusted likelihood ratio test obtained in this paper. Our simulations favor the latter. Applications of our results are presented. Key words: Extreme-value regression; Gradient test; Gumbel distribution; Likelihood ratio test; Nonlinear models; Score test; Small-sample adjustments; Wald test.
We introduce and study a local linear nonparametric regression estimator for censorship model. The main goal of this paper is, to establish the uniform almost sure consistency result with rate over a compact set for the new estimate. To support our t
heoretical result, a simulation study has been done to make comparison with the classical regression estimator.
In this paper, we built a new nonparametric regression estimator with the local linear method by using the mean squared relative error as a loss function when the data are subject to random right censoring. We establish the uniform almost sure consis
tency with rate over a compact set of the proposed estimator. Some simulations are given to show the asymptotic behavior of the estimate in different cases.
Multivariate linear regressions are widely used statistical tools in many applications to model the associations between multiple related responses and a set of predictors. To infer such associations, it is often of interest to test the structure of
the regression coefficients matrix, and the likelihood ratio test (LRT) is one of the most popular approaches in practice. Despite its popularity, it is known that the classical $chi^2$ approximations for LRTs often fail in high-dimensional settings, where the dimensions of responses and predictors $(m,p)$ are allowed to grow with the sample size $n$. Though various corrected LRTs and other test statistics have been proposed in the literature, the fundamental question of when the classic LRT starts to fail is less studied, an answer to which would provide insights for practitioners, especially when analyzing data with $m/n$ and $p/n$ small but not negligible. Moreover, the power performance of the LRT in high-dimensional data analysis remains underexplored. To address these issues, the first part of this work gives the asymptotic boundary where the classical LRT fails and develops the corrected limiting distribution of the LRT for a general asymptotic regime. The second part of this work further studies the test power of the LRT in the high-dimensional setting. The result not only advances the current understanding of asymptotic behavior of the LRT under alternative hypothesis, but also motivates the development of a power-enhanced LRT. The third part of this work considers the setting with $p>n$, where the LRT is not well-defined. We propose a two-step testing procedure by first performing dimension reduction and then applying the proposed LRT. Theoretical properties are developed to ensure the validity of the proposed method. Numerical studies are also presented to demonstrate its good performance.
