One-sided tests in shared frailty models (2008)

CLAESKENS, Gerda, NGUTI, Rosemary, JANSSEN, Paul

Tests for the presence of heterogeneity in frailty models use an alternative hypothesis in which the heterogeneity parameter is subject to an inequality constraint. As a result, the classical...

Bayesian-motivated tests of function fit and their asymptotic frequentist properties (2005)

Aerts, Marc, Claeskens, Gerda, Hart, Jeffrey D.

We propose and analyze nonparametric tests of the null hypothesis that a function belongs to a specified parametric family. The tests are based on BIC approximations, \pi_{BIC}, to the posterior...

Bootstrap confidence bands for regression curves and their derivatives (2003)

Claeskens, Gerda, Keilegom, Ingrid Van

Confidence bands for regression curves and their first p derivatives are obtained via local pth order polynomial estimation. The method allows for multiparameter local likelihood estimation as well...

A quadratic bootstrap method and improved estimation in logistic regression (2003)

Claeskens, Gerda

Effect of dependence on stochastic measures of accuracy of density estimations (2002)

Claeskens, Gerda, Hall, Peter

In kernel density estimation, those data values that make a nondegenerate contribution to the estimator (computed at a given point) tend to be spaced well apart. This property has the effect of...

Some theory for penalized spline additive models (2002)

Claeskens, Gerda, Wand, Matthew P.

Generalized additive models have become one of the most widely used modern statistical tools. Traditionally, they are fit through scatterplot smoothing and the backfitting algorithm. However, a more...

Local multiple imputation (2002)

Claeskens, Gerda

Dealing with missing data via parametric multiple imputation methods usually implies stating several strong assumptions both about the distribution of the data and about underlying regression...

Bootstrap tests for misspecified models, with application to clustered binary data (2001)

Claeskens, Gerda

When the data do not come from the assumed parametric model, the usual asymptotic chi-squared distribution under the null hypothesis, remains valid for "robustified" Wald and score test statistics....

Some Results on Penalized Spline Estimation in Generalized Additive and Semiparametric Models (1999)

Gerda Claeskens, Marc Aerts, M. P. Wand

Introduction In spline regression models, the smoothness of the #tted model depends on the knots via their location and how many knots there are. An alternative to knot selection is to keep all the...

Testing the fit of a parametric function (1999)

Claeskens, Gerda, Hart, Jeffrey

General methods for testing the fit of a parametric function are proposed. The idea underlying each method is to ``accept'' the prescribed parametric model if and only if it is chosen by a model...

Restricted likelihood ratio lack-of-fit tests using mixed spline models

Gerda Claeskens

Penalized regression spline models afford a simple mixed model representation in which variance components control the degree of non-linearity in the smooth function estimates. This motivates the...

MINIMIZING AVERAGE RISK IN REGRESSION MODELS

Claeskens, Gerda, Hjort, Nils Lid

Most model selection mechanisms work in an overall modus, providing models without specific concern for how the selected model is going to be used afterward. The focused information criterion (FIC),...

Goodness of Fit via Non-parametric Likelihood Ratios

Gerda Claeskens, Nils Lid Hjort

To test if a density "f" is equal to a specified "f"0, one knows by the Neyman-Pearson lemma the form of the optimal test at a specified alternative "f"1. Any non-parametric density estimation scheme...
