In this paper we are concerned with shape restricted estimation in inverse regression problems with convolution …) unconstrained estimate of the unknown regression function. An advantage of our approach is that it is not necessary that prior shape … information is known to be valid on the complete domain of the regression function. Instead, it is sufficient if it holds on some …

Tail risk is a classic topic in stressed portfolio optimization to treat unprecedented risks, while the traditional mean-variance approach may fail to perform well. This study proposes an innovative semiparametric method consisting of two modeling components: the nonparametric estimation and...

This paper extends Imbens and Manski's (2004) analysis of confidence intervals for interval identified parameters. For their final result, Imbens and Manski implicitly assume superefficient estimation of a nuisance parameter. This appears to have gone unnoticed before, and it limits the result's...

A new nonparametric estimate of a convex regression function is proposed and its stochastic properties are studied. The … method starts with an unconstrained estimate of the derivative of the regression function, which is firstly isotonized and … equivalent to the initial unconstrained estimate if the regression function is in fact convex. If convexity is not present the …

We present a new method for imposing and testing concavity of a cost function using asymptotic least squares, which can easily be implemented even for cost functions which are nonlinear in parameters. We provide an illustration on the basis of a (generalized) Box-Cox cost function with six...
