报告题目： Effective Model Averaging for Generalized Linear Models in Diverging Model Spaces

报告人：方方教授

报告摘要：Model averaging has attracted a lot of attentions in the past decades as a powerful forecasting tool in statistics and econometrics. While abundant frequentist model averaging methods have been proposed for many models, existing weight choice criteria for generalized linear models are based on a model size penalized Kullback-Leibler (KL) loss or just cross-validation. In this paper, we propose a novel model averaging approach for generalized linear models motivated by an asymptotically unbiased estimator of the KL loss which is penalized by an ``effective model size". When all the candidate models are misspecified, the proposed method has asymptotic optimality as usual, but it allows number of candidate models and dimension of covariates both to be diverging. Furthermore, when correct models are included, we prove that the weight vector of the wrong candidate models converges to zero and hence the weighted regression coefficient estimator is consistent. Simulation studies and real data examples show strong merits of our new method over the existing frequentist model averaging methods for generalized linear models.
