摘要:

成分数据出现在许多实际应用中,需要多用途的方法来在回归背景下恰当地分析这类数据。当参数假设不成立或难以验证时,非参数回归模型可以提供一种方便的预测替代方法。为此,我们考虑了经典$k$--$NN$回归的一种扩展,称为$α$--$k$--$NN$回归,通过使用$α$-变换,为成分数据产生一个高度灵活的非参数回归模型。与许多推荐的成分数据回归模型不同,零值(在实践中常见)不是问题,可以不加修改地纳入所提出的模型。广泛的模拟研究和实际数据分析突出了使用这些非参数回归来处理成分响应数据与欧几里得预测变量之间复杂关系的优势。两者都表明,与当前假设与预测变量有时具有限制性参数关系的回归模型相比,$α$--$k$--$NN$回归可以导致更准确的预测。此外,与当前回归技术相比,$α$--$k$--$NN$回归享有高计算效率,使其对大规模、海量或大数据的使用极具吸引力。

英文摘要:

Compositional data arise in many real-life applications and versatile methods for properly analyzing this type of data in the regression context are needed. When parametric assumptions do not hold or are difficult to verify, non-parametric regression models can provide a convenient alternative method for prediction. To this end, we consider an extension to the classical $k$--$NN$ regression, termed $α$--$k$--$NN$ regression, that yields a highly flexible non-parametric regression model for compositional data through the use of the $α$-transformation. Unlike many of the recommended regression models for compositional data, zeros values (which commonly occur in practice) are not problematic and they can be incorporated into the proposed models without modification. Extensive simulation studies and real-life data analyses highlight the advantage of using these non-parametric regressions for complex relationships between the compositional response data and Euclidean predictor variables. Both suggest that $α$--$k$--$NN$ regression can lead to more accurate predictions compared to current regression models which assume a, sometimes restrictive, parametric relationship with the predictor variables. In addition, the $α$--$k$--$NN$ regression, in contrast to current regression techniques, enjoys a high computational efficiency rendering it highly attractive for use with large scale, massive, or big data.
