非线性最小二乘估计的自由度

Degrees of freedom for nonlinear least squares estimation

Niels Richard Hansen, Alexander Sokol

摘要:

本文给出了非线性最小二乘估计的有效自由度的一般结果,它将自由度与估计量的发散性联系起来。我们表明,在一个一般的框架中,最小二乘估计的发散是一个定义明确,但可能负偏估计的自由度,我们给出了一个准确的表示的偏见。这意味着,如果我们使用分歧作为Stein无偏风险估计(SURE)中自由度的插件估计,我们通常会低估真实风险。我们的结果适用于,例如,模型搜索问题,产生一个有限的样本表征多少搜索的自由度。受系统生物学中常微分方程模型拟合问题的启发,本文用线性常微分方程系统的估计来说明一般结果。在本例中,发散被证明是$\ell_1$约束模型的自由度的有用估计。

英文摘要:

We give a general result on the effective degrees of freedom for nonlinear least squares estimation, which relates the degrees of freedom to the divergence of the estimator. We show that in a general framework, the divergence of the least squares estimator is a well defined but potentially negatively biased estimate of the degrees of freedom, and we give an exact representation of the bias. This implies that if we use the divergence as a plug-in estimate of the degrees of freedom in Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE), we generally underestimate the true risk. Our result applies, for instance, to model searching problems, yielding a finite sample characterization of how much the search contributes to the degrees of freedom. Motivated by the problem of fitting ODE models in systems biology, the general results are illustrated by the estimation of systems of linear ODEs. In this example the divergence turns out to be a useful estimate of degrees of freedom for $\ell_1$-constrained models.
