1 Applied Asymptotics Case studies in higher order inference Nancy Reid May 18, 2006 A.C. Davison, A. R. Brazzale, A. M. Staicu
2 Introduction likelihood-based inference in parametric models higher order approximations are uncannily accurate perhaps seem difficult to use illustration of these approximations in a variety of practical examples such as: generalized linear models; canonical and non-canonical link functions non-normal linear regression, nonlinear normal regression variance components models calibration studies here concentrate on Bayesian examples; inspired by Bickel & Ghosh 1990

5 Main results I: Bartlett correction vector parameter of interest; model f (y; θ), y R n, θ R p log-likelihood ratio statistic: w(θ) = 2{l(ˆθ) l(θ)} d χ 2 p, n Ew(θ) = p{1 + b(θ) n + O(n 2 )} w (θ) = w(θ) 1 + b(θ)/n d χ 2 p{1 + O(n 2 )} w (θ) = w(θ) 1 + b( θ)/n d χ 2 p{1 + O(n 2 )}
6 ... Bartlett correction Bickel & Ghosh showed that this holds under the posterior distribution elegant shrinkage argument leads to frequentist result suggestion to use the jackknife to estimate the mean; no explicit formula explain the detailed structure of the expansion to show why the result holds contrast to Lawley (1956); see also DiCiccio and Stern (1994) for explicit Bayesian formula w(θ 1 ) = 2{l( θ 1, θ 2 ) l(θ 1, θ 2 )} d χ 2 p 1

18 Comparison of posterior limits for ψ with frequentist p-value
19 Choice of prior A matching prior ensures that to O(n 3/2 ), the posterior upper α limit has approximately correct frequentist coverage: Pr m (ψ > ψ (1 α) (y) y) = α Pr(ψ (1 α/2). (Y ) < ψ θ) = α There is a family of such matching priors when ψ is scalar π(ψ, λ) i ψψ (ψ, η)g(η) θ = (ψ, λ) (ψ, η(ψ, λ)) η orthogonal to ψ with respect to expected Fisher information i(θ)
20 ... matching prior for logistic regression η easily computed: full exponential family ˆη ψ = ˆη (in exponential families only) When used in q B matching prior is unique { } 1/2 q B = q B = l p(ψ)j 1/2 j ηη (ψ, ˆη ψ ) π( ˆψ, ˆη) p ( ˆψ) j ηη ( ˆψ, ˆη) π(ψ, ˆη ψ ) can be computed without transforming to (ψ, η) i ψψ (ψ, η) = iψψ 0 (ψ, λ) i0 ψλ (ψ, λ)i0 λλ (ψ, λ) 1 iλψ 0 (ψ, λ) for any orthogonal parameter (not only exponential family) ˆη ψ = ˆη(1 + O p (n 1 ) this seems to be enough to ensure uniqueness of matching prior in Laplace approximation Sweeting, Biometrika, 2004; Staicu & R, in prep.
21 Conclusions/Further work Reasonable range of examples where r type approximations very easy to use Most numerical work is very convincing Important exception: proportional hazards model Non-parametric or semi-parametric models? Frequentist version relies on the log likelihood function (and in particular on differentiating log likelihood on the sample space) Not clear how/if this can be adapted to pseudo-likelihoods Vector version of Bayesian matching argument using Bickel & Ghosh (1990) Careful proofs still needed of many hoa results!!
