Uniform limit laws of the logarithm for estimators of the additive regression function in the presence of right censored data

It has been recently shown that nonparametric estimators of the additive regression function could be obtained in the presence of right censoring by coupling the marginal integration method with initial kernel-type Inverse Probability of Censoring Weighted estimators of the multivariate regression function \citeDebbarhViallon3. In this paper, we get the exact rate of strong uniform consistency for such estimators. Our uniform limit laws especially lead to the construction of asymptotic simultaneous 100% confidence bands for the true regression function.

Testing additivity in nonparametric regression under random censorship

In this paper, we are concerned with nonparametric estimation of the multivariate regression function in the presence of right censored data. More precisely, we propose a statistic that is shown to be asymptotically normally distributed under the additive assumption, and that could be used to test for additivity in the censored regression setting.

Functional limit laws for the increments of the quantile process; with applications

We establish a functional limit law of the logarithm for the increments of the normed quantile process based upon a random sample of size $n\to\infty$. We extend a limit law obtained by Deheuvels and Mason (12), showing that their results hold uniformly over the bandwidth $h$, restricted to vary in $[h'_n,h''_n]$, where $\{h'_n\}_{n\geq1}$ and $\{h''_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ are appropriate non-random sequences. We treat the case where the sample observations follow possibly non-uniform distributions. As a consequence of our theorems, we provide uniform limit laws for nearest-neighbor density estimators, in the spirit of those given by Deheuvels and Mason (13) for kernel-type estimators.

Uniform limit laws of the logarithm for nonparametric estimators of the regression function in presence of censored data

In this paper, we establish uniform-in-bandwidth limit laws of the logarithm for nonparametric Inverse Probability of Censoring Weighted (I.P.C.W.) estimators of the multivariate regression function under random censorship. A similar result is deduced for estimators of the conditional distribution function. The uniform-in-bandwidth consistency for estimators of the conditional density and the conditional hazard rate functions are also derived from our main result. Moreover, the logarithm laws we establish are shown to yield almost sure simultaneous asymptotic confidence bands for the functions we consider. Examples of confidence bands obtained from simulated data are displayed.
