In binary regression the risk factor X has been treated in the literature as a non-stochastic variable. In most situations, however, X is stochastic. We present solutions applicable to such situations. We show that our solutions are more precise than those obtained by treating X as non-stochastic when, in fact, it is stochastic.

Inference of Autoregressive Model with Stochastic Exogenous Variable Under Short-Tailed Symmetric Distributions Bayrak, Ozlem Tuker; Akkaya, Ayşen (2018-12-01) In classical autoregressive models, it is assumed that the disturbances are normally distributed and the exogenous variable is non-stochastic. However, in practice, short-tailed symmetric disturbances occur frequently and exogenous variable is actually stochastic. In this paper, estimation of the parameters in autoregressive models with stochastic exogenous variable and non-normal disturbances both having short-tailed symmetric distribution is considered. This is the first study in this area as known to the...
Nonnormal regression. I. Skew distributions İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; Yildirim, F (2001-01-01) In a linear regression model of the type y = thetaX + e, it is often assumed that the random error e is normally distributed. In numerous situations, e.g., when y measures life times or reaction times, e typically has a skew distribution. We consider two important families of skew distributions, (a) Weibull with support IR: (0, infinity) on the real line, and (b) generalised logistic with support IR: (-infinity, infinity). Since the maximum likelihood estimators are intractable in these situations, we deriv...
Estimation and hypothesis testing in multivariate linear regression models under non normality İslam, Muhammed Qamarul (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) This paper discusses the problem of statistical inference in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are non normally distributed. We consider multivariate t-distribution, a fat-tailed distribution, for the errors as alternative to normal distribution. Such non normality is commonly observed in working with many data sets, e.g., financial data that are usually having excess kurtosis. This distribution has a number of applications in many other areas of research as well. We use modifie...
Regression analysis with a dtochastic design variable Sazak, HS; Tiku, ML; İslam, Muhammed Qamarul (Wiley, 2006-04-01) In regression models, the design variable has primarily been treated as a nonstochastic variable. In numerous situations, however, the design variable is stochastic. The estimation and hypothesis testing problems in such situations are considered. Real life examples are given.
Estimation and hypothesis testing in stochastic regression Sazak, Hakan Savaş; Tiku, Moti Lal; İslam, Qamarul; Department of Statistics (2003) Regression analysis is very popular among researchers in various fields but almost all the researchers use the classical methods which assume that X is nonstochastic and the error is normally distributed. However, in real life problems, X is generally stochastic and error can be nonnormal. Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation technique which is known to have optimal features, is very problematic in situations when the distribution of X (marginal part) or error (conditional part) is nonnormal. Modified maximum...
