摘要:

In this talk, we develop a valid framework for inference of ultra-high dimensional quasi-likelihood models, based on a novel weighted estimation approach. The weighted estimator is obtained by minimizing the variance function. We split the full data into two subsets and perform model selection on one subset while computing the maximum quasi-likelihood estimator on the other. The two estimators are then aggregated using optimal weighted matrices. Using the weighted estimator, we construct confidence regions for a group of components of the regression vector and perform the Wald test for a linear structure of the group components. Theoretically, we establish the asymptotic normality of the weighted estimator, and the asymptotic distributions of the Wald test statistic under the null and alternative, without assuming model selection consistency. We highlight the advantages of the proposed tests through theoretical and empirical comparisons with some competitive tests, which guarantees that our proposed inference framework is locally optimal. Furthermore, we prove that when selection consistency is achieved, the proposed Wald test is asymptotically identical in distribution to the oracle test which knows the support of the regression vector. We also demonstrate the superior finite sample performance of our proposed tests through extensive simulations. Finally, we illustrate the application of our methodology to a breast cancer dataset.
