报告题目： A Global Bias-Correction DC Method forBiased Estimation under Memory Constraint

报告人：林路，山东大学金融研究院教授、博士生导师、副院长

报告摘要：This paper introduces aglobal bias-correction divide-and-conquer (GBC-DC) method for biased estimationunder the case of memory constraint. In order to introduce the new estimation,a closed representation of the local estimators obtained by the data in each batchis adopted to formulate a pro forma linear regression between the localestimators and the true parameter of interest. A least squares is used withinthis framework to composite a global estimator of the parameter. Thus, the maindifference from the classical DC method is that the new GBC-DC method can absorbthe information hidden in the statistical structure and the variables in eachbatch of data. Consequently, the resulting global estimator is strictlyunbiased even if the local estimators have a non-negligible bias. Moreover, theglobal estimator is consistent under some mild conditions, and even can achieveroot-$n$ consistency when the number of batches is large. The new method issimple and computationally efficient, without use of any iterative algorithmand local bias-correction. Moreover, the proposed GBC-DC method applies tovarious biased estimations such as shrinkage-type estimation and nonparametricregression estimation. Based on our comprehensive simulation studies, theproposed GBC-DC approach is significantly bias-corrected, and the behavior iscomparable with that of the full data estimation.
