Profile

I came to Japan from Qingdao, China. As an international student, I spent my first 10 years in Japan learning Japanese at a Japanese language school, and studying statistics at Shiga and Osaka Universities. I conducted research in functional data analysis while at the Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, and in my doctoral course, I proposed functional subspace methods in functional discriminant analysis and investigated estimating derivatives of functional data. After graduating from Osaka University, I started working as a project researcher at the Institute Statistical Mathematics (ISM), Tokyo. At ISM, I was researching influence analysis in quantitative trait loci detection, Baker's distribution, and analysis of mouse ultrasonic vocalization data. Now, at Waseda University, I am teaching Mathematics and Statistics and doing research on copulas and functional data analysis. In addition to statistical research, I am also interested in travelling, cooking, and gardening.

    　View Summary

    A method that uses order statistics to construct multivariate distributions with fixed marginals and which utilizes a representation of the Bernstein copula in terms of a finite mixture distribution is proposed. Expectation maximization (EM) algorithms to estimate the Bernstein copula are proposed, and a local convergence property is proved. Moreover, asymptotic properties of the proposed semiparametric estimators are provided. Illustrative examples are presented using three real data sets and a 3-dimensional simulated data set. These studies show that the Bernstein copula is able to represent various distributions flexibly and that the proposed EM algorithms work well for such data. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

    　View Summary

    This paper presents systematic methods for the detection of influential individuals that affect the log odds (LOD) score curve. We derive general formulas of influence functions for profile likelihoods and introduce them into two standard quantitative trait locus detection methods-the interval mapping method and single marker analysis. Besides influence analysis on specific LOD scores, we also develop influence analysis methods on the shape of the LOD score curves. A simulation- based method is proposed to assess the significance of the influence of the individuals. These methods are shown useful in the influence analysis of a real dataset of an experimental population from an F 2 mouse cross. By receiver operating characteristic analysis, we confirm that the proposed methods show better performance than existing diagnostics.

    We investigate the properties of Baker's (2008) bivariate distributions with fixed marginals and their multivariate extensions. The properties include the weak convergence to the Frechet-Hoeffding upper bound, the product-moment convergence, as well as the dependence structures TP2 (totally positive of order 2), or MTP2 (multivariate TP2). In proving the weak convergence, a generalized local limit theorem for binomial distribution is provided. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Journal of Multivariate Analysis   114 ( 1 ) 201 - 208  2013  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    We study the dependence structure of bivariate order statistics from bivariate distributions, and prove that if the underlying bivariate distribution H is positive quadrant dependent (PQD) then so is each pair of bivariate order statistics. As an application, we show that if H is PQD, the bivariate distribution K(n)+, recently proposed by Bairamov and Bayramoglu (2012) [1], is greater than or equal to Baker's (2008) [2] distribution H(n)+, and hence K(n)' attains a correlation higher than that of H(n)+. We give two explicit forms of the intractable K(n)+ and prove that for all n ≥ 2, K(n)+ is PQD regardless of H. We also show that if H is PQD, K(n)+ converges weakly to the Fréchet-Hoeffding upper bound as n tends to infinity. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

    　View Summary

    今まで、B-spline基底関数を用いて、B-splineコピュラを定義し、相関を最大にするB-splineコピュラがFrechet-Hoeffding upper bound に達することができることと任意のオーダーのtotal positivityの性質を持つことがわかった。コピュラの柔軟性をさらに詳しく調べるために、本年度はB-splineコピュラの相関性質、特にB-spline基底関数の次数が与えられた時に、原点周りの h（h >= 0）次モーメントについて研究してきた。B-spline基底関数はある初期条件の下で、再帰的に生成されるという性質を持つため、B-spline基底関数のモーメントも再帰的な性質を持つことがわかる。その具体的数式表現を導出した。また、Stirling numbers of the second kindもある初期条件の下で再帰性を持つことが知られている。この再帰性を用いて、B-spline基底関数のモーメントをStirling numbers of the second kindで書くことができた。これらについては、数学的帰納法で証明した。特に、B-spline基底関数の０次と１次のモーメントの明白な数式で与えた。このように得られたB-spline基底関数の０次と１次のモーメントが等間隔にB-spline基底関数のknotsを配置する時に、相関を最大にするB-splineコピュラの相関係数の計算に用いられる。

  • A smoothed empirical beta copula

    2021  

    　View Summary

    In modeling multivariate distribution with the empirical beta copula, we find that it is difficult to do the computation when sample size is larger than 500, because the empirical beta distribution is constructed by Gamma functions. We try to use Stirling's approximation formula for the Gamma functions and translate them back by logarithm functions. This makes the calculation possible, however it still takes time when the sample size N is large. To solve this problem, we introduce a smaller integer K << N to separate the data set into K times K grids. We then calculate the means of data in each grid. The number of the means, say M, is smaller than or equal to K^2. Instead of the original N data, we use the M<<N means as the new data in the multivariate distribution modeling with the empirical beta copula. This method can dramatically reduce computation time and make the empirical beta copula applicable for large sample size. This method is presented at The Japanese Joint Statistical Meeting 2021 (September 2021) and Waseda International Symposium Topological Data Science, Causality, Analysis of Variance & Time Series 2022 (March 2022).

  • Bernsteinコピュラの推定に関する研究

    2020  

    　View Summary

    Bernstein コピュラのパラメータの各次元のサイズがデータのサイズと同じになるときに経験Betaコピュラになる。経験Betaコピュラはパラメータが必要としない、各次元でデータのランクを用いたノンパラメットリックな多次元分布の推定方法。本研究は経験Betaコピュラの推定を試みた。実データを使った実験では、サンプルサイズNに対してNの３乗の計算時間が必要。BernsteinコピュラはBernstein多項式の数のパラメータが必要だが、少ない計算量で済むメリットがある。また、経験Betaコピュラの計算には、Beta関数を用いるのでN=500までは計算できるが、それ以上はBeta関数が分母でゼロになるため, 不具合が生じることが分かった。
