The proposed method is based on a penalized censored regression model with L1-penalty. We use the iteratively reweighted least squares procedure to solve L1 penalized log likelihood function of censored regression model. It provide the efficient computation of regression parameters including variable selection and leads to the generalized cross validation function for the model selection. Numerical results are then presented to indicate the performance of the proposed method.

Partially linear regression is capable of providing more complete description of the linear and nonlinear relationships among random variables. In support vector regression (SVR) the hyper-parameters are known to affect the performance of regression. In this paper we propose an iterative reweighted least squares (IRWLS) procedure to solve the quadratic problem of partially linear support vector regression with a modified loss function, which enables us to use the generalized approximate cross validation function to select the hyper-parameters. Experimental results are then presented which illustrate the performance of the partially linear SVR using IRWLS procedure.

This paper shows the kernel Poisson regression which can be applied in the claims reserving, where the row effect is assumed to be a nonlinear function of the row index. The paper concentrates on the chain-ladder technique, within the framework of the chain-ladder linear model. It is shown that the proposed method can provide better reserve estimates than the Poisson model. The cross validation function is introduced to choose optimal hyper-parameters in the procedure. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of the proposed model.

An estimating procedure is introduced for the nonlinear mixed-effect Poisson regression, for longitudinal study, where data from different subjects are independent whereas data from same subject are correlated. The proposed procedure provides the estimates of the mean function of the response variables, where the canonical parameter is related to the input vector in a nonlinear form. The generalized cross validation function is introduced to choose optimal hyper-parameters in the procedure. Experimental results are then presented, which indicate the performance of the proposed estimating procedure.

This paper deals with the estimations of the least squares support vector regression when the responses are subject to randomly right censoring. The estimation is performed via two steps - the ordinary least squares support vector regression and the least squares support vector regression with censored data. We use the empirical fact that the estimated regression functions subject to randomly right censoring are close to the true regression functions than the observed failure times subject to randomly right censoring. The hyper-parameters of model which affect the performance of the proposed procedure are selected by a generalized cross validation function. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of the proposed procedure.

Support vector machine(SVM) is capable of providing a more complete description of the linear and nonlinear relationships among random variables. In this paper we propose a sparse kernel regression(SKR) to overcome a weak point of SVM, which is, the steep growth of the number of support vectors with increasing the number of training data. The iterative reweighted least squares(IRWLS) procedure is used to solve the optimal problem of SKR with a Laplacian prior. Furthermore, the generalized cross validation(GCV) function is introduced to select the hyper-parameters which affect the performance of SKR. Experimental results are then presented which illustrate the performance of the proposed procedure.

We consider methods of estimating a binary regression function using a nonparametric kernel estimation when there is only one covariate. For this, the Nadaraya-Watson estimation method using single and double bandwidths are used. For choosing a proper smoothing amount, the cross-validation and plug-in methods are compared. In the real data analysis for case study, German credit data and heart disease data are used. We examine whether the nonparametric estimation for binary regression function is successful with the smoothing parameter using the above two approaches, and the performance is compared.

The censored regression using the pseudo-response variable proposed by Buckley and James has been one of the most well-known models. Recently, the varying coefficient regression model has received a great deal of attention as an important tool for modeling. In this paper we propose a censored varying coefficient regression model using Buckley-James method to consider situations where the regression coefficients of the model are not constant but change as the smoothing variables change. By using the formulation of least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM), the coefficient estimators of the proposed model can be easily obtained from simple linear equations. Furthermore, a generalized cross validation function can be easily derived. In this paper, we evaluated the proposed method and demonstrated the adequacy through simulate data sets and real data sets.

In this paper we propose a logistic regression method to estimate the survival function and the median survival time in interval-censored data. The proposed method is motivated by the data augmentation technique with no sacrifice in augmenting data. In addition, we develop a cross validation criterion to determine the size of data augmentation. We compare the proposed estimator with other existing methods such as the parametric method, the single point imputation method, and the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator through extensive numerical studies to show that the proposed estimator performs better than others in the sense of the mean squared error. An illustrative example based on a real data set is given.

When the spatial information of each location is given specifically as coordinates it is popular to use the geographically weighted regression to incorporate the spatial information by assuming that the regression parameters vary spatially across locations. In this paper, we relax the linearity assumption of geographically weighted regression and propose a geographically weighted least squares-support vector machine for estimating geographically weighted mean by using the basic concept of kernel machines. Generalized cross validation function is induced for the model selection. Numerical studies with real datasets have been conducted to compare the performance of proposed method with other methods for predicting geographically weighted mean.
