A One-Covariate-at-a-Time Method for Nonparametric Additive Models
This paper proposes a one-covariate-at-a-time multiple testing (OCMT) approach to choose significant variables in high-dimensional nonparametric additive regression models. Similarly to Chudik, Kapetanios and Pesaran (2018), we consider the statistical significance of individual nonparametric additive components one at a time and take into account the multiple testing nature of the problem. One-stage and multiple-stage procedures are both considered. The former works well in terms of the true positive rate only if the marginal effects of all signals are strong enough; the latter helps to pick up hidden signals that have weak marginal effects. Simulations demonstrate the good finite sample performance of the proposed procedures. As an empirical application, we use the OCMT procedure on a dataset we extracted from the Longitudinal Survey on Rural Urban Migration in China. We find that our procedure works well in terms of the out-of-sample forecast root mean square errors, compared with competing methods.

Sparse Additive Contextual Bandits: A Nonparametric Approach for Online Decision-making with High-dimensional Covariates
Personalized services are central to today's digital landscape, where online decision-making is commonly formulated as contextual bandit problems. Two key challenges emerge in modern applications: high-dimensional covari…
Decision MakingMulti-Armed BanditsKAPLAN: Kolmogorov-Arnold Prognostic Learnable Activation Networks for Survival Analysis
Survival analysis aims to model how covariates and time jointly shape the time-to-event distribution under right censoring. Classical methods such as the Cox model and generalised additive models (GAMs) require interacti…
Wavelet regression and additive models for irregularly spaced data
We present a novel approach for nonparametric regression using wavelet basis functions. Our proposal, $\texttt{waveMesh}$, can be applied to non-equispaced data with sample size not necessarily a power of 2. We develop a…
Additive modelsregressionlgpr: An interpretable nonparametric method for inferring covariate effects from longitudinal data
Longitudinal study designs are indispensable for studying disease progression. Inferring covariate effects from longitudinal data, however, requires interpretable methods that can model complicated covariance structures …
