Estimation non-paramétrique du quantile conditionnel et apprentissage semi-paramétrique : applications en assurance et actuariat / Nonparametric estimation of conditional quantile and semi-parametric learning : applications on insurance and actuarial data

Knefati, Muhammad Anas 19 November 2015 (has links)
La thèse se compose de deux parties : une partie consacrée à l'estimation des quantiles conditionnels et une autre à l'apprentissage supervisé. La partie "Estimation des quantiles conditionnels" est organisée en 3 chapitres : Le chapitre 1 est consacré à une introduction sur la régression linéaire locale, présentant les méthodes les plus utilisées, pour estimer le paramètre de lissage. Le chapitre 2 traite des méthodes existantes d’estimation nonparamétriques du quantile conditionnel ; Ces méthodes sont comparées, au moyen d’expériences numériques sur des données simulées et des données réelles. Le chapitre 3 est consacré à un nouvel estimateur du quantile conditionnel et que nous proposons ; Cet estimateur repose sur l'utilisation d'un noyau asymétrique en x. Sous certaines hypothèses, notre estimateur s'avère plus performant que les estimateurs usuels.<br> La partie "Apprentissage supervisé" est, elle aussi, composée de 3 chapitres : Le chapitre 4 est une introduction à l’apprentissage statistique et les notions de base utilisées, dans cette partie. Le chapitre 5 est une revue des méthodes conventionnelles de classification supervisée. Le chapitre 6 est consacré au transfert d'un modèle d'apprentissage semi-paramétrique. La performance de cette méthode est montrée par des expériences numériques sur des données morphométriques et des données de credit-scoring. / The thesis consists of two parts: One part is about the estimation of conditional quantiles and the other is about supervised learning. The "conditional quantile estimate" part is organized into 3 chapters. Chapter 1 is devoted to an introduction to the local linear regression and then goes on to present the methods, the most used in the literature to estimate the smoothing parameter. Chapter 2 addresses the nonparametric estimation methods of conditional quantile and then gives numerical experiments on simulated data and real data. Chapter 3 is devoted to a new conditional quantile estimator, we propose. This estimator is based on the use of asymmetrical kernels w.r.t. x. We show, under some hypothesis, that this new estimator is more efficient than the other estimators already used.<br> The "supervised learning" part is, too, with 3 chapters: Chapter 4 provides an introduction to statistical learning, remembering the basic concepts used in this part. Chapter 5 discusses the conventional methods of supervised classification. Chapter 6 is devoted to propose a method of transferring a semiparametric model. The performance of this method is shown by numerical experiments on morphometric data and credit-scoring data.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao MPFE Jose Ignacio Valencia Diaz.pdf: 1741345 bytes, checksum: b45af943bf4f6e8a2a9963c07038d9dc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-08-26 / Prediction models based on nonparametric estimation are in continuous development and have been permeating the quantitative community. Their main feature is that they do not consider as known a priori the form of the probability distributions functions (PDF), but allow the data to be used directly in order to build their own PDFs. In this work it is implemented the nonparametric pooled estimators from Sam and Jiang (2009) for drift and diffusion functions for the short rate diffusion process, by means of the use of yield series of different maturities provided by One Day Future Interbank Deposit contracts (ID1). The estimators are built from the perspective of kernel functions and they are optimized with a particular kernel format, in our case, Epanechnikov’s kernel, and with a smoothing parameter (bandwidth). Empiric experience indicates that the smoothing parameter is critical to find the probability density function that provides an optimal estimation in terms of MISE (Mean Integrated Squared Error) when testing the model with the traditional k-folds cross-validation method. Exceptions arise when the series do not have appropriate sizes, but the structural break of the diffusion process of the Brazilian interest short rate, since 2006, requires the reduction of the length of the series to the cost of reducing the predictive power of the model. This structural break represents the evolution of the Brazilian market, in an attempt to converge towards mature markets and it explains largely the unsatisfactory performance of the proposed estimator. / Modelos de predição baseados em estimações não-paramétricas continuam em desenvolvimento e têm permeado a comunidade quantitativa. Sua principal característica é que não consideram a priori distribuições de probabilidade conhecidas, mas permitem que os dados passados sirvam de base para a construção das próprias distribuições. Implementamos para o mercado brasileiro os estimadores agrupados não-paramétricos de Sam e Jiang (2009) para as funções de drift e de difusão do processo estocástico da taxa de juros instantânea, por meio do uso de séries de taxas de juros de diferentes maturidades fornecidas pelos contratos futuros de depósitos interfinanceiros de um dia (DI1). Os estimadores foram construídos sob a perspectiva da estimação por núcleos (kernels), que requer para a sua otimização um formato específico da função-núcleo. Neste trabalho, foi usado o núcleo de Epanechnikov, e um parâmetro de suavizamento (largura de banda), o qual é fundamental para encontrar a função de densidade de probabilidade ótima que forneça a estimação mais eficiente em termos do MISE (Mean Integrated Squared Error - Erro Quadrado Integrado Médio) no momento de testar o modelo com o tradicional método de validação cruzada de k-dobras. Ressalvas são feitas quando as séries não possuem os tamanhos adequados, mas a quebra estrutural do processo de difusão da taxa de juros brasileira, a partir do ano 2006, obriga à redução do tamanho das séries ao custo de reduzir o poder preditivo do modelo. A quebra estrutural representa um processo de amadurecimento do mercado brasileiro que provoca em grande medida o desempenho insatisfatório do estimador proposto.

Estimateur bootstrap de la variance d'un estimateur de quantile en contexte de population finie

McNealis, Vanessa 12 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire propose une adaptation lisse de méthodes bootstrap par pseudo-population aux fins d'estimation de la variance et de formation d'intervalles de confiance pour des quantiles de population finie. Dans le cas de données i.i.d., Hall et al. (1989) ont montré que l'ordre de convergence de l'erreur relative de l’estimateur bootstrap de la variance d’un quantile échantillonnal connaît un gain lorsque l'on rééchantillonne à partir d’une estimation lisse de la fonction de répartition plutôt que de la fonction de répartition expérimentale. Dans cet ouvrage, nous étendons le principe du bootstrap lisse au contexte de population finie en le mettant en œuvre au sein des méthodes bootstrap par pseudo-population. Étant donné un noyau et un paramètre de lissage, cela consiste à lisser la pseudo-population dont sont issus les échantillons bootstrap selon le plan de sondage initial. Deux plans sont abordés, soit l'échantillonnage aléatoire simple sans remise et l'échantillonnage de Poisson. Comme l'utilisation des algorithmes proposés nécessite la spécification du paramètre de lissage, nous décrivons une méthode de sélection par injection et des méthodes de sélection par la minimisation d'estimés bootstrap de critères d'ajustement sur une grille de valeurs du paramètre de lissage. Nous présentons des résultats d'une étude par simulation permettant de montrer empiriquement l'efficacité de l'approche lisse par rapport à l'approche standard pour ce qui est de l'estimation de la variance d'un estimateur de quantile et des résultats plus mitigés en ce qui concerne les intervalles de confiance. / This thesis introduces smoothed pseudo-population bootstrap methods for the purposes of variance estimation and the construction of confidence intervals for finite population quantiles. In an i.i.d. context, Hall et al. (1989) have shown that resampling from a smoothed estimate of the distribution function instead of the usual empirical distribution function can improve the convergence rate of the bootstrap variance estimator of a sample quantile. We extend the smoothed bootstrap to the survey sampling framework by implementing it in pseudo-population bootstrap methods. Given a kernel function and a bandwidth, it consists of smoothing the pseudo-population from which bootstrap samples are drawn using the original sampling design. Two designs are discussed, namely simple random sampling and Poisson sampling. The implementation of the proposed algorithms requires the specification of the bandwidth. To do so, we develop a plug-in selection method along with grid search selection methods based on bootstrap estimates of two performance metrics. We present the results of a simulation study which provide empirical evidence that the smoothed approach is more efficient than the standard approach for estimating the variance of a quantile estimator together with mixed results regarding confidence intervals.
