Convergence of Random Variables
6.1 Introduction
The most important aspect of probability theory concerns
the behavior of sequences of random variables. This part of
probability is called large sample theory or limit theory
or asymptotic theory. This material is extremely important
for statistical inference. The basic question is this: what can we
say about the limiting behavior of a sequence of random variables X1 , X2 , X3 , . . .? Since statistics and data mining are all
about gathering data, we will naturally be interested in what
happens as we gather more and more data.
In calculus we say that a sequence of real numbers xn converges to a limit x if, for every ² > 0, |xn − x| < ² for all
large n. In probability, convergence is more subtle. Going back
to calculus for a moment, suppose that xn = x for all n. Then,
trivially, limn xn = x. Consider a probabilistic version of this
example. Suppose that X1 , X2 , . . . is a sequence of random variables which are independent and suppose each has a N (0, 1)
distribution. Since these all have the same distribution, we are
90
6. Convergence of Random Variables
tempted to say that Xn “converges” to X ∼ N (0, 1). But this
can’t quite be right since P(Xn = Z) = 0 for all n. (Two continuous random variables are equal with probability zero.)
Here is another example. Consider X1 , X2 , . . . where Xi ∼
N (0, 1/n). Intuitively, Xn is very concentrated around 0 for large
n. But P (Xn = 0) = 0 for all n. This chapter develops appropriate methods of discussing convergence of random variables.
There are two main ideas in this chapter:
1. The law of large numbers says that sample average
P
X n = n−1 ni=1 Xi converges in probability to the expectation µ = E(X).
2. The central limit theorem says that sample average
has approximately a Normal distribution for large n. More
√
precisely, n(X n − µ) converges in distribution to a
Normal(0, σ 2 ) distribution, where σ 2 = V(X).
6.2 Types of Convergence
The two main types of convergence are defined as follows.
6.2 Types of Convergence
91
Definition 6.1 Let X1 , X2 , . . . be a sequence of random variables and let X be another random variable. Let Fn denote the cdf of Xn and let F denote the cdf of X.
P
1. Xn converges to X in probability, written Xn −→ X,
if, for every ² > 0,
P(|Xn − X| > ²) → 0
(6.1)
as n → ∞.
2. Xn converges to X in distribution, written Xn Ã X,
if,
lim Fn (t) = F (t)
(6.2)
n→∞
at all t for which F is continuous.
There is another type of convergence which we introduce
mainly because it is useful for proving convergence in probability.
Definition 6.2 Xn converges to X in quadratic mean
qm
(also called convergence in L2 ), written Xn −→ X, if,
E(Xn − X)2 → 0
(6.3)
as n → ∞.
If X is a point mass at c – that is P(X = c) = 1 – we write
qm
qm
P
Xn −→ c instead of X −→ X. Similarly, we write Xn −→ c and
Xn Ã c.
Example 6.3 Let Xn ∼ N (0, 1/n). Intuitively, Xn is concentrating at 0 so we would like to say that Xn Ã 0. Let’s see if this
is true. Let F be the distribution function for a point mass at
92

√
√
nt) = P(Z < nt) → 0 since nt → −∞. For t > 0,
√
√
√
Fn (t) = P(Xn < t) = P( nXn < nt) = P(Z < nt) → 1
√
since nt → ∞. Hence, Fn (t) → F (t) for all t 6= 0 and so
Xn Ã 0. But notice that Fn (0) = 1/2 6= F (1/2) = 1 so convergence fails at t = 0. But that doesn’t matter because t = 0 is
not a continuity point of F and the definition of convergence in
distribution only requires convergence at continuity points. ¥
The next theorem gives the relationship between the types of
convergence. The results are summarized in Figure 6.1.
Theorem 6.4 The following relationships hold:
qm
P
(a) Xn −→ X implies that Xn −→ X.
P
(b) Xn −→ X implies that Xn Ã X.
(c) If Xn Ã X and if P(X = c) = 1 for some real number c,
P
then Xn −→ X.
In general, none of the reverse implications hold except the
special case in (c).
qm
Proof. We start by proving (a). Suppose that Xn −→ X. Fix
² > 0. Then, using Chebyshev’s inequality,
E|Xn − X|2
→ 0.
P(|Xn − X| > ²) = P(|Xn − X| > ² ) ≤
²2
Proof of (b). This proof is a little more complicated. You may
skip if it you wish. Fix ² > 0 and let x be a continuity point of
F . Then
2
2
Fn (x) = P(Xn ≤ x) = P(Xn ≤ x, X ≤ x + ²) + P(Xn ≤ x, X > x + ²)
≤ P(X ≤ x + ²) + P(|Xn − X| > ²)
= F (x + ²) + P(|Xn − X| > ²).
Also,
F (x − ²) = P(X ≤ x − ²) = P(X ≤ x − ², Xn ≤ x) + P(X ≤ x + ², Xn > x)
6.2 Types of Convergence
93
≤ Fn (x) + P(|Xn − X| > ²).
Hence,
F (x−²)−P(|Xn −X| > ²) ≤ Fn (x) ≤ F (x+²)+P(|Xn −X| > ²).
Take the limit as n → ∞ to conclude that
F (x − ²) ≤ lim inf Fn (x) ≤ lim sup Fn (x) ≤ F (x + ²).
n→∞
n→∞
This holds for all ² > 0. Take the limit as ² → 0 and use the fact
that F is continuous at x and conclude that limn Fn (x) = F (x).
Proof of (c). Fix ² > 0. Then,
P(|Xn − c| > ²) = P(Xn < c − ²) + P(Xn > c + ²)
≤ P(Xn ≤ c − ²) + P(Xn > c + ²)
= Fn (c − ²) + 1 − Fn (c + ²)
→ F (c − ²) + 1 − F (c + ²)
= 0 + 1 − 0 = 0.
Let us now show that the reverse implications do not hold.
Convergence in probability does not imply convergence in quadratic mean. Let U ∼ Unif(0, 1) and let
√
√
Xn = nI(0,1/n) (U ). Then P(|Xn | > ²) = P( nI(0,1/n) (U ) >
P
²) = P(0 ≤ U < 1/n) = 1/n → 0. Hence, Then Xn −→ 0. But
R 1/n
E(Xn2 ) = n 0 du = 1 for all n so Xn does not converge in
Convergence in distribution does not imply convergence in probability. Let X ∼ N (0, 1). Let Xn = −X
for n = 1, 2, 3, . . .; hence Xn ∼ N (0, 1). Xn has the same distribution function as X for all n so, trivially, limn Fn (x) = F (x)
d
for all x. Therefore, Xn → X. But P(|Xn − X| > ²) = P(|2X| >
²) = P(|X| > ²/2) 6= 0. So Xn does not tend to X in probability.

We can conclude
that E(Xn ) → b
if Xn is uniformly

technical appendix.
Warning! One might conjecture that if Xn −→ b then E(Xn ) →
b. This is not true. Let Xn be a random variable defined by
P(Xn = n2 ) = 1/n and P(Xn = 0) = 1 − (1/n). Now, P(|Xn | <

²) = P(Xn = 0) = 1 − (1/n) → 1. Hence, Z −→ 0. However,
E(Xn ) = [n2 ×(1/n)]+[0×(1−(1/n))] = n. Thus, E(Xn ) → ∞.

6.3 The Law of Large Numbers
Now we come to a crowning achievement in probability, the law
of large numbers. This theorem says that the mean of a large
sample is close to the mean of the distribution. For example,
the proportion of heads of a large number of tosses is expected
to be close to 1/2. We now make this more precise.
6.3 The Law of Large Numbers
95
Let X1 , X2 , . . . , be an iid sample and let µ = E(X1 ) and
σ = V(X1 ). Recall that the sample mean is defined as X n = Note that µ =
P
E(Xi ) is the same
n−1 ni=1 Xi and that E(X n ) = µ and V(X n ) = σ 2 /n.
for all i so we can
define µ = E(Xi )
for any i. By conTheorem 6.6 (The Weak Law of Large Numbers (WLLN).)
P
vention,
we often
If X1 , . . . , Xn are iid , then X n −→ µ.
write µ = E(X1 ).
2
Interpretation of WLLN: The distribution of X n becomes more concentrated around µ as n gets large.
Proof. Assume that σ < ∞. This is not necessary but it
simplifies the proof. Using Chebyshev’s inequality,

There is a stronger

or 1). Hence, p = P (Xi = 1) = E(Xi ). The fraction of heads
after n tosses is X n . According to the law of large numbers,
X n converges to p in probability. This does not mean that X n
will numerically equal p. It means that, when n is large, the
distribution of X n is tightly concentrated around p. Suppose that
p = 1/2. How large should n be so that P (.4 ≤ X n ≤ .6) ≥ .7?
First, E(X n ) = p = 1/2 and V(X n ) = σ 2 /n = p(1 − p)/n =
1/(4n). From Chebyshev’s inequality,
P(.4 ≤ X n ≤ .6) = P(|X n − µ| ≤ .1)

6.4 The Central Limit Theorem
Suppose that X1 , . . . , Xn are iid with mean µ and variance σ.
P
The central limit theorem (CLT) says that X n = n−1 i Xi
has a distribution which is approximately Normal with mean µ
and variance σ 2 /n. This is remarkable since nothing is assumed
about the distribution of Xi , except the existence of the mean
and variance.
Theorem 6.8 (The Central Limit Theorem (CLT).) Let X1 , . . . , Xn
P
be iid with mean µ and variance σ 2 . Let X n = n−1 ni=1 Xi .
Then

Interpretation: Probability statements about X n can
be approximated using a Normal distribution. It’s the
probability statements that we are approximating, not
the random variable itself.
In addition to Zn Ã N (0, 1), there are several forms of notation to denote the fact that the distribution of Zn is converging
to a Normal. They all mean the same thing. Here they are:

Example 6.9 Suppose that the number of errors per computer
program has a Poisson distribution with mean 5. We get 125 programs. Let X1 , . . . , X125 be the number of errors in the programs.
We want to approximate P(X < 5.5). Let µ = E(X1 ) = λ = 5
and σ 2 = V(X1 ) = λ = 5. Then,

The central limit theorem tells us that Zn = n(X − µ)/σ
is approximately N(0,1). However, we rarely know σ. We can
estimate σ 2 from X1 , . . . , Xn by

Sn2 =
1 X
(Xi − X n )2 .
n − 1 i=1
This raises the following question: if we replace σ with Sn is the
central limit theorem still true? The answer is yes.

√
n(X n − µ)
Ã N (0, 1).

You might wonder, how accurate the normal approximation
is. The answer is given in the Berry-Essèen theorem.

any smooth function.

Convergence plays a central role in modern probability theory. For more details, see Grimmet and Stirzaker (1982), Karr
(1993) and Billingsley (1979). Advanced convergence theory is
explained in great detail in van der Vaart and Wellner (1996)
and van der Vaart (1998).

If X is a random variable, define its moment generating function (mgf) by ψX (t) = EetX . Assume in what follows that the
mgf is finite in a neighborhood around t = 0.

Models, Statistical Inference and
Learning
7.1 Introduction
Statistical inference, or \learning" as it is called in computer
science, is the process of using data to infer the distribution
that generated the data. The basic statistical inference problem
is this:
We observe X1 ; : : : ; Xn F . We want to infer (o r
estimate o r learn) F o r some feature of F such as its
mean.
7.2 Parametric and Nonparametric Models
A statistical model is a set of distributions (or a set of
densities) F. A parametric model is a set F that can be parameterized b y a nite n umber of parameters. For example, if
we assume that the data come from a Normal distribution then
106
7. Models, Statistical Inference and Learning
the model is
F = f (x; ; ) =
1
p
exp
1
(x
2 2
)2 ; 2 R ; > 0 :
(7.1)
This is a two-parameter model. We have written the density
as f (x; ; ) to show that x is a value of the random variable
whereas and are parameters. In general, a parametric model
takes the form
F = f (x; ) : 2 (7.2)
where is an unknown parameter (or vector of parameters) that
can take values in the parameter space . If is a vector but
we are only interested in one component of , we call the remaining parameters nuisance parameters. A nonparametric model is a set F that cannot be parameterized by a nite
number of parameters. For example, FALL = fall cdf 0 sg is nondistinction parametric.
The
between parametric
and nonparametric
is more subtle than
this but we don't
need a rigorous
denition for our
purposes.
Example 7.1 (One-dimensional Parametric Estimation.) Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn
be independent Bernoulli(p) observations. The problem is to estimate the parameter p. Example 7.2 (Two-dimensional Parametric Estimation.) Suppose that
X1 ; : : : ; Xn F and we assume that the pdf f 2 F where F is
given in (7.1). In this case there are two parameters, and .
The goal is to estimate the parameters from the data. If we are
only interested in estimating then is the parameter of interest and is a nuisance parameter. Example 7.3 (Nonparametric estimation of the cdf.) Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn
be independent observations from a cdf F . The problem is to estimate F assuming only that F 2 FALL = fall cdf 0 sg. Example 7.4 (Nonparametric density estimation.) Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn
be independent observations from a cdf F and let f = F 0 be the
7.2 Parametric and Nonparametric Models
107
. Suppose we want to estimate the pdf f . It is not possible to estimate f assuming only that F 2 FALL . We need to
assume some smoothness
on f . For example, we might assume
T
that f 2 F = FDENS FSOB where FDENS is the set of all probability density functions and
pdf
FSOB = f :
Z
(f 00 (x))2 dx < 1 :
The class FSOB is called a Sobolev space; it is the set of functions that are not \too wiggly." Example 7.5 (Nonparametric estimation of functionals.) Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn
R
F . Suppose we want to estimate = E (X1 ) = x dF (x) assuming only that exists. The mean may
be thought of as a
R
function of F : we can write = T (F ) = x dF (x). In general,
any function of F is called a statistical functional
. Other
R 2
examples
of
functions are the variance T (F ) = x dF (x)
R
2
xdF (x) and the median T (F ) = F 1=2 . Example 7.6 (Regression, prediction and classication.) Suppose we
observe pairs of data (X1 ; Y1 ); : : : (Xn ; Yn). Perhaps Xi is the
blood pressure of subject i and Yi is how long they live. X is
called a predictor or regressor or feature or independent
variable. Y is called the outcome or the response variable
or the dependent variable. We call r(x) = E (Y jX = x) the
regression function. If we assume that f 2 F where F is nite dimensional { the set of straight lines for example { then
we have a parametric regression model. If we assume that
f 2 F where F is not nite dimensional then we have a parametric regression model. The goal of predicting Y for a new
patient based on their X value is called prediction. If Y is discrete (for example, live or die) then prediction is instead called
classication. If our goal is to estimate the functin f , then we
call this regression or curve estimation. Regression models
108
7. Models, Statistical Inference and Learning
are sometimes written as
Y = f (X ) + (7.3)
where E () = 0. We can always rewrite a regression model this
way. To see this, dene = Y f (X ) and hence Y = Y +
f (X ) f (X ) = f (X )+. Moreover, E () = E E (jX ) = E (E (Y
f (X ))jX ) = E (E (Y jX ) f (X )) = E (f (X ) f (X )) = 0. It is traditional in most introductory courses
nonparametric inference and then we will cover parametric inference. In some respects, nonparametric inference is easier to
understand and is more useful than parametric inference.
What's Next?
There are many approaches
to statistical inference. The two dominant approaches are called
frequentist inference and Bayesian inference. We'll cover
a discussion of the pro's and con's of these two until later.
Frequentists and Bayesians.
If F = ff (xR; ) : 2 g is a parametric
model,
we write P (X 2 A) = A f (x; )dx and E (r(X )) =
R
r(x)f (x; )dx. The subscript indicates that the probability
or expectation is with respect to f (x; ); it does not mean we
are averaging over . Similarly, we write V for the variance.
Some Notation.
7.3 Fundamental Concepts in Inference
Many inferential problems can be identied as being one of
three types: estimation, condence sets or hypothesis testing.
We will treat all of these problems in detail in the rest of the
book. Here, we give a brief introduction to the ideas.
7.3.1 Point Estimation
7.3 Fundamental Concepts in Inference
109
Point estimation refers to providing a single \best guess"
of some quantity of interest. The quantity of interest could be a
parameter in a parametric model, a cdf F , a probability density
function f , a regression function r, or a prediction for a future
value Y of some random variable.
By convention, we denote a point estimate of by b.
Remember that is a xed, unknown quantity. The estimate b depends on the data so b is a random variable.
More formally, let X1 ; : : : ; Xn be n iid data point from some
distribution F . A point estimator bn of a parameter is some
function of X1 ; : : : ; Xn:
bn = g (X1; : : : ; Xn ):
We dene
bias (bn ) = E (bn )
(7.4)
to be the bias of bn . We say that bn is unbiased if E (bn ) = .
Unbiasedness used to receive much attention but these days it is
not considered very important; many of the estimators we will
use are biased. A point estimator bn of a parameter is consistent if bn P! . Consistency is a reasonable requirement for
estimators. The distribution of bn is called the sampling distribution. The standard deviation of bn is called the standard
error, denoted by se :
se = se (bn )
q
= V (bn ):
(7.5)
Often, it is not possible to compute the standard error but usually we can estimate the standard error. The estimated standard
error is denoted by seb .
Example 7.7 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn
Bernoulli(p) and let pbn = n
1 P Xi .

Then E (pbn ) = n 1 i E (Xi ) = p so pbn is unbiased. The standard

error is se = p V (pbn ) = p(1

The quality of a point estimate is sometimes assessed by the
mean squared error, or MSE, dened by
MSE = E (bn

that generated the data. It does not mean we are averaging over
a density for .
Theorem 7.8 The MSE can be written as
MSE = bias (bn )2 + V (bn ):
Proof.
E (bn

Let n = E (bn ). Then

= E (bn n)2 + 2(n )2 E (bn
= (n )2 + E (bn n )2
= bias 2 + V (bn ): n ) + E ( n
!P 0 and se ! 0 as n ! 1 then bn is
consistent, that is, bn ! .
Proof. If bias ! 0 and se ! 0 then, by Theorem 7.8,
qm
MSE ! 0. It follows that bn ! . (Recall denition 6.3.) The
result follows from part (b) of Theorem 6.4. Theorem 7.9 If bias
Example 7.10 Returning to the coin ipping example,
we have
p
that E p (pbn ) = p so that bias = p p = 0 and se = p(1 p)=n !
0. Hence, pbn P! p, that is, pbn is a consistent estimator. )2

Many of the estimators we will encounter will turn out to
have, approximately, a Normal distribution.

mal if

7.3.2 Condence Sets
A 1 condence interval for a parameter is an interval
Cn = (a; b) where a = a(X1 ; : : : ; Xn ) and b = b(X1 ; : : : ; Xn ) are
functions of the data such that
P (
2 Cn) 1 ;
for all 2 :
(7.8)
In words, (a; b) traps with probability 1 . We call 1 the coverage of the condence interval. Commonly, people use
95 per cent condence intervals which corresponds to choosing
= 0:05. Note: Cn is random and is xed! If is a vector
then we use a condence set (such a sphere or an ellipse) instead
of an interval.
Warning! There is much confusion about how to interpret
a condence interval. A condence interval is not a probability
statement about since is a xed quantity, not a random
variable. Some texts interpret condence intervals as follows: if
I repeat the experiment over and over, the interval will contain
the parameter 95 per cent of the time. This is correct but useless
since we rarely repeat the same experiment over and over. A
better interpretation is this:
On day 1, you collect data and construct a 95 per
cent condence interval for a parameter 1 . On day
112
7. Models, Statistical Inference and Learning
2, you collect new data and construct a 95 per cent
condence interval for an unrelated parameter 2 . On
day 3, you collect new data and construct a 95 per
cent condence interval for an unrelated parameter 3 .
You continue this way constructing condence intervals for a sequence of unrelated parameters 1 ; 2 ; : : :
Then 95 per cent your intervals will trap the true parameter value. There is no need to introduce the idea
of repeating the same experiment over and over.
Example 7.12 Every day, newspapers report opinion polls. For
example, they might say that \83 per cent of the population favor arming pilots with guns." Usually, you will see a statement
like \this poll is accurate to within 4 points 95 per cent of the
time." They are saying that 83 4 is a 95 per cent condence
interval for the true but unknown proportion p of people who
favor arming pilots with guns. If you form a condence interval this way everyday for the rest of your life, 95 per cent of
your intervals will contain the true parameter. This is true even
though you are estimating a dierent quantity (a dierent poll
question) every day.
Later, we will discuss Bayesian methods in which we treat
as if it were a random variable and we do make probability
statements about . In particular, we will make statements like
\the probability that is Cn, given the data, is 95 per cent."
However, these Bayesian intervals refer to degree-of-belief probabilities. These Bayesian intervals will not, in general, trap the
parameter 95 per cent of the time.
Example 7.13 In the coin ipping setting, let Cn = (pbn n ; pbn +
n ) where 2n = log(2=)=(2n). From Hoeding's inequality (5.4)
it follows that
P(p 2 Cn ) 1 for every p. Hence, Cn is a 1 condence interval. 7.3 Fundamental Concepts in Inference
113
As mentioned earlier, point estimators often have a limiting
Normal distribution, meaning that equation (7.7) holds, that
is, bn N (; seb 2 ). In this case we can construct (approximate)
condence intervals as follows.
Theorem 7.14 (Normal-based Condence Interval.) Suppose that
bn N (; seb 2 ). Let be the cdf of a standard Normal and
let z=2 = 1 (1 (=2)), that is, P(Z > z=2 ) = =2 and
P( z=2 < Z < z=2 ) = 1 where Z N (0; 1). Let
Cn = (bn
Then
z=2 seb ; bn + z=2 seb ):
P (
2 Cn) ! 1 :
(7.10)
Let Zn = (bn )=seb . By assumption Zn
Z N (0; 1). Hence,
Proof.

For 95 per cent condence intervals, = 0:05 and z=2 =
1:96 2 leading to the approximate 95 per cent condence
interval bn 2seb . We will discuss the construction of condence
intervals in more generality in the rest of the book.
Example 7.15 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn

114
7. Models, Statistical Inference and Learning
Compare this with the condence interval in the previous example. The Normal-based interval is shorter but it only has approximately (large sample) correct coverage. 7.3.3 Hypothesis Testing
The term \retaining
the null hypothesis"
is due to Chris Genovese. Other terminology is \accepting
the null" or \failing
to reject the null."
{ called a null hypothesis { and we ask if the data provide
suÆcient evidence to reject the theory. If not we retain the null
hypothesis.
Example 7.16 (Testing if a Coin is Fair) Suppose X1 ; : : : ; Xn Bernoulli(p)
denote n independent coin ips. Suppose we want to test if the
coin is fair. Let H0 denote the hypothesis that the coin is fair
and let H1 denote the hypothesis that the coin is not fair. H0
is called the null hypothesis and H1 is called the alternative
hypothesis. We can write the hypotheses as
H0 : p = 1=2 versus H1 : p 6= 1=2:
It seems reasonable to reject H0 if T = jpbn (1=2)j is large.
When we discuss hypothesis testing in detail, we will be more
precise about how large T should be to reject H0 . 7.4 Bibliographic Remarks
Statistical inference is covered in many texts. Elementary
texts include DeGroot and Schervish (2001) and Larsen and
Marx (1986). At the intermediate level I recommend Casella
and Berger (2002) and Bickel and Doksum (2001). At the advanced level, Lehmann and Casella (1998), Lehmann (1986) and
van der Vaart (1998).

Our denition of condence interval requires that P ( 2
Cn ) 1 for all 2 . An pointwise asymptotic condence interval requires that lim infn!1 P ( 2 Cn ) 1 for
all 2 . An uniform asymptotic condence interval requres
that lim infn!1 inf 2 P ( 2 Cn ) 1 . The approximate
Normal-based interval is a pointwise asymptotic condence interval. In general, it might not be a uniform asymptotic condence interval.

R
A functional of theR form r(x)dF (x) is called a Rlinear functional. Recall that r(x)dFP(x) is dened to be r(x)f (x)dx
in the continuous case and j r(xj )f (xj ) in the discrete. The
empirical cdf Fbn (x)R is discrete, putting mass 1=n at each Xi .
Hence, if T (F ) = r(x)dF (x) is a linear functional then we
have:

Sometimes we can nd the estimated standard error se

is not obvious how to estimate the standard error. In the next
chapter, we will discuss a general method for nding se

Example 8.9 (Correlation.) Let Z = (X; Y ) and let = T (F ) =
E (X
X )(Y Y )=(x y ) denote the correlation between X and
Y , where F (x; y ) is bivariate. We can write T (F ) = a(T1 (F ); T2 (F ); T3 (F ); T4 (F ); T5 (F ))
where
R

T1 (F ) = R x dF (z ) T2 (F ) = R y dF (z ) T3 (F ) = xy dF (z )

and
a(t1 ; : : : ; t5 ) = p

Replace F with Fbn in T1 (F ), . . . , T5 (F ), and take
b = a(T1 (Fbn ); T2 (Fbn ); T3 (Fbn ); T4 (Fbn ); T5 (Fbn )):
We get
b =

which is called the sample correlation. Example 8.10 (Quantiles.) Let F be strictly increasing with den-
sity f . The T (F ) = F 1 (p) be the pth quantile. The estimate
if T (F ) is Fbn 1 (p). We have to be a bit careful since Fbn is
not invertible. To avoid ambiguity we dene Fbn 1 (p) = inf fx :
Fbn (x) pg. We call Fbn 1 (p) the pth sample quantile. Only in the rst example did we compute a standard error or
a condence interval. How shall we handle the other examples.
When we discuss parametric methods, we will develop formulae
for standard errors and condence intervals. But in our nonparametric setting we need something else. In the next chapter,
we will introduce two methods { the jackknife and the bootstrap
{ for getting standard errors and condence intervals.
Example 8.11 (Plasma Cholesterol.) Figure 8.2 shows histograms
for plasma cholesterol (in mg/dl) for 371 patients with chest

pain (Scott et al. 1978). The histograms show the percentage of
patients in 10 bins. The rst histogram is for 51 patients who
had no evidence of heart disease while the second histogram is
for 320 patients who had narrowing of the arteries. Is the mean
cholesterol dierent in the two groups? Let us regard these
data
R
as samples Rfrom two distributions F1 and F2 . Let 1 = xdF1 (x)
and 2 = xdF2 (x) denote the means
of the two populations.

The plug-in
estimates are b1 = xdFbn;1 (x) = X n;1 = 195:27

For the two groups this yields seb (b1 ) = 5:0 and seb (b2 ) = 2:4.
Approximate 95 per cent condence intervals for 1 and 2 are
b1 2seb (b1 ) = (185; 205) and b2 2seb (b2 ) = (211; 221).
Now, consider the functional = T (F2 ) T (F1 ) whose plug-in
estimate is b = b2 b1 = 216:19 195:27 = 20:92: The standard
error of b is
se =

V (

8. Estimating the cdf and Statistical Functionals
An approximate 95 per cent condence interval for is b 2seb =
(9:8; 32:0). This suggests that cholesterol is higher among those
(from these data) that cholesterol causes heart disease. The leap
from statistical evidence to causation is very subtle and is discussed later in this text. 8.3 Technical Appendix
In this appendix we explain how to construct a condence
band for the cdf .

From the DKW inequality, we can construct a condence set.
Let 2n = log(2=)=(2n), L(x) = maxfFbn (x) n ; 0g and U (x) =
minfFbn (x) + n ; 1g. It follows from (8.4) that for any F ,
P (F
2 Cn) 1 :
Thus, Cn is a nonparametric 1 condence set for F . A better
name for Cn is a condence band. To summarize:
A 1 nonparametric condence band for F is (L(x); U (x)) where

The Glivenko-Cantelli theorem is the tip of the iceberg. The
theory of distribution functions is a special case of what are
called empirical processes which underlie much of modern statistical theory. Some references on empirical processes are Shorack

The Bootstrap
The bootstrap is a nonparametric method for estimating standard errors and computing condence intervals. Let
Tn = g (X1 ; : : : ; Xn)
be a statistic, that is, any function of the data. Suppose we
want to know V F (Tn ), the v ariance of Tn . We hav e written V F
to emphasize that the variance usually depends onP

X then

V F (Tn ) = =n where = (x ) dF (x) and = xdF (x).
The bootstrap idea has two parts.
First we estimate V F (Tn ) with
Pn

V Fbn (Tn ). Thus, for Tn = n
b 2 =n
i=1 Xi we hav e V Fbn (Tn ) = P
complicated
where b2 = n 1 ni=1 (Xi X n ). However, in more
cases we cannot write down a simple formula for V Fbn (Tn ). This
leads us to the second step which is to approximate V Fbn (Tn )
using simulation. Before proceeding, let us discuss the idea of
simulation.
9.1 Simulation

Yj P!
Yn =
B j =1
Z
y dG(y ) = E (Y )
as B ! 1. So if we draw a large sample from G, we can use the
sample mean Y n to approximate E (Y ). In a simulation, we can
make B as large as we like in which case, the dierence between
Y n and E (Y ) is negligible. More generally, if h is any function
with nite mean then
B

h(Y ) P!
B j =1 j

h(y )dG(y ) = E (h(Y ))

B j =1 j

Hence, we can use the sample variance of the simulated values
to approximate V (Y ).
9.2 Bootstrap Variance Estimation
According to what we just learned, we can approximate V Fbn (Tn )
by simulation. Now V Fbn (Tn ) means \the variance of Tn if the
distribution of the data is Fbn ." How can we simulate from the
distribution of Tn when the data are assumed to have distribution Fbn ? The answer is to simulate X1 ; : : : ; Xn from Fbn and then
compute Tn = g (X1; : : : ; Xn ). This constitutes one draw from
the distribution of Tn . The idea is illustrated in the following
diagram:
Real world F =) X1 ; : : : ; Xn =) Tn = g (X1; : : : ; Xn )
Bootstrap world Fbn =) X1 ; : : : ; Xn =) Tn = g (X1; : : : ; Xn )
9.2 Bootstrap Variance Estimation
131
How do we simulate X1 ; : : : ; Xn from Fbn ? Notice that Fbn puts
mass 1/n at each data point X1 ; : : : ; Xn. Therefore, drawing an
observation from Fbn is equivalent to drawing one point
at random from the original data set. Thu, to simulate
X1 ; : : : ; Xn Fbn it suÆces to draw n observations with replacement from X1 ; : : : ; Xn . Here is a summary:

T <- median(X)
Tboot <- vector of length B
for(i in 1:N){

Tboot[i] <- median(Xstar)
}

using two approximations:

Example 9.2 Consider the nerve data. Let = T (F ) =

asymmetry. A Normal distribution, for example, has skewness

To estimate the standard error with the bootstrap we follow the
same steps as with the medin example except we compute the
skewness from each bootstrap sample. When applied to the nerve
data, the bootstrap, based on B = 1000 replications, yields a
standard error for the estimated skewness of .16.
9.3 Bootstrap Condence Intervals

9.3 Bootstrap Condence Intervals
There are several ways to construct bootstrap condence intervals. Here we discuss three methods.
Normal Interval. The simplest is the Normal interval
Tn z=2 seb boot
(9.2)
where seb boot is the bootstrap estimate of the standard error.
This interval is not accurate unless the distribution of Tn is
close to Normal.
Pivotal Intervals. Let = T (F ) and bn = T (Fbn ) and dene the

H (r) = PF (Rn r):

It follows that

intervals have the same level of accuracy. There are more accurate bootstrap condence intervals but they are more complicated and we will not discuss them here.
cholesterol data. Suppose we are interested in the dierence of
the medians. Pseudo-code for the bootstrap analysis is as follows:
x1 <- first sample
x2 <- second sample
n1 <- length(x1)
n2 <- length(x2)
th.hat <- median(x2) - median(x1)
B <- 1000
Tboot <- vector of length B
for(i in 1:B){
xx1 <- sample of size n1 with replacement from x1
xx2 <- sample of size n2 with replacement from x2
Tboot[i] <- median(xx2) - median(xx1)
}
se <- sqrt(variance(Tboot))
Normal

percentile <- (quantile(Tboot,.025), quantile(Tboot,.975))
pivotal
<- ( 2*th.hat-quantile(Tboot,.975), 2*th.hat-quantile(Tboot,.025) )
The point estimate is 18.5, the bootstrap standard error is 7.42
and the resulting approximate 95 per cent condence intervals
are as follows:

Percentile (5.0, 33.3)
Pivotal

Since these intervals exclude 0, it appears that the second group
has higher cholesterol although there is considerable uncertainty
about how much higher as reected in the width of the intervals.
The next two examples are based on small sample sizes. In
practice, statistical methods based on very small sample sizes
might not be reliable. We include the examples for their pedagogical value but we do want to sound a note of caution about
interpreting the results with some skepticism.
Example 9.6 Here is an example that was one of the rst used
to illustrate the bootstrap by Bradley Efron, the inventor of the
bootstrap. The data are LSAT scores (for entrance to law school)

The estimated correlation is b = :776. The bootstrap based on

an approximation to the sampling distribution of b. The Normalb = (:51; 1:00)

while the percentile interval is (.46,.96). In large samples, the
two methods will show closer agreement.

the Bootstrap by B. Efron and R. Tibshirani. When drug companies introduce new medications, they are sometimes requires
to show bioequivalence. This means that the new drug is not

9.4 Bibliographic Remarks
The boostrap was invented by Efron (1979). There are several

9.5.1 The Jackknife
There is another method for computing standard errors called
the jackknife, due to Quenouille (1949). It is less computationally expensive than the bootstrap but is less general. Let
Tn = T (X1 ; : : : ; Xn ) be a statistic and T( i) denote
the statistic

with the i observation removed. Let T n = n
i=1 T( i) . The
jackknife estimate of var(Tn ) is
n
n 1X
(T
vjack =
n i=1 ( i)
T n )2
and the jackknife estimate of the standard error is se
b jack =
pvjack . Under suitable conditions on T , it can be shown
that

vjack consistently estimates var(Tn ) in the sense that vjack =var(Tn ) !

Parametric Inference
We now turn our attention to parametric models, that is,
models of the form
n
F = f (x; ) : 2 o
(10.1)
where the R k is the parameter space and = (1 ; : : : ; k )
is the parameter. The problem of inference then reduces to the
problem of estimating the parameter .
Students learning statistics often ask: how would we ever
know that the distribution that generated the data is in some
parametric model? This is an excellent question. Indeed, we
would rarely hav e such knowledge which is why nonparametric
methods are preferable. Still, studying methods for parametric
models is useful for two reasons. First, there are some cases
where background knowledge suggests that a parametric model
provides a reasonable approximation. F or example, counts of
traÆc accidents are known from prior experience to follow approximately a P oissonmodel. Second, the inferential concepts
146
10. Parametric Inference
for parametric models provide background for understanding
certain nonparametric methods.
We will begin with a brief dicussion about parameters of interest and nuisance parameters in the next section, then we will
discuss two methods for estimating , the method of moments
and the method of maximum likelihood.
10.1 Parameter of Interest
Often, we are only interested in some function T (). For example, if X N (; 2 ) then the parameter is = (; ). If our
goal is to estimate then = T () is called the parameter
of interest and is called a nuisance parameter. The parameter of interest can be a complicated function of as in the
following example.
Example 10.1 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn Normal(; 2). The parameter
is = (; ) is = f(; ) : 2 R ; > 0g. Suppose that Xi
is the outcome of a blood test and suppose we are interested in
, the fraction of the population whose test score is larger than

10.2 The Method of Moments
147
is the Gamma function. The parameter is = (; ). The Gamma
distribution is sometimes used to model lifetimes of people, animals, and electronic equipment. Suppose we want to estimate
the mean lifetime. Then T (; ) = E (X1 ) = . 10.2 The Method of Moments
The rst method for generating parametric estimators that
we will study is called the method of moments. We will see
that these estimators are not optimal but they are often easy to
compute. They are are also useful as starting values for other
methods that require iterative numerical routines.
Suppose that the parameter = (1 ; : : : ; k ) has k components. For 1 j k, dene the j th moment

10.3 Maximum Likelihood
149
The last statement in the Theorem above can be used to nd
standard errors and condence intervals. However, there is an
easier way: the bootstrap. We defer discussion of this until the
end of the chapter.
10.3 Maximum Likelihood
The most common method for estimating parameters in a
parametric model is the maximum likelihood method. Let
X1 ; : : : ; Xn be iid with pdf f (x; ).
Denition 10.7 The likelihood function is dened by
Ln() =
n
Y
i=1
f (Xi ; ):
(10.5)
The log-likelihood function is dened by `n () = log Ln ().
The likelihood function is just the joint density of the data,
except that we treat it is a function of the parameter .
Thus Ln : ! [0; 1). The likelihood function is not a density
function: in general, it is not true that Ln() integrates to 1.
Denition 10.8 The maximum likelihood estimator
, denoted by bn , is the value of that maximizes
Ln().
mle
The maximum of `n () occurs at the same place as the maximum of Ln (), so maximizing the log-likelihood leads to the
same answer as maximizing the likelihood. Often, it is easier to
work with the log-likelihood.
Remark 10.9 If we multiply Ln() by any positive constant c (not
depending on ) then this will not change the

10.4 Properties of Maximum Likelihood
Estimators.
Under certain conditions on the model, the maximum likelihood estimator bn possesses many properties that make it an appealing choice of estimator. The main properties of the mle are:
(1) It is consistent: bn P! ? where ? denotes the true value
of the parameter ;
(2) It is equivariant: if bn is the mle of then g (bn ) is the
mle of g ( );
p
(3) It is asymptotically Normal: n(b ? )=seb N (0; 1)
where seb can be computed analytically;
(4) It is asymptotically optimal or eÆcient: roughly, this
means that among all well behaved estimators, the mle has the
smallest variance, at least for large samples.
(5) The mle is approximately the Bayes estimator. (To be
explained later.)
We will spend some time explaining what these properties
mean and why they are good things. In suÆciently complicated
problems, these properties will no longer hold and the mle will
no longer be a good estimator. For now we focus on the simpler
situations where the mle works well. The properties we discuss
only hold if the model satises certain regularity conditions.
These are essentially smoothness conditions on f (x; ). Unless
otherwise stated, we shall tacitly assume that these conditions hold.
10.5 Consistency of Maximum Likelihood
Estimators.
Consistency means that the mle converges in probability to
the true value. To proceed, we need a denition. If f and g are

g to be

Hence, Mn () D(? ; ) which is maximized at ? since D(? ; ? ) =
0 and D(? ; ? ) < 0 for 6= ? . Hence, we expect that the maximizer will tend to ? . To prove this formally, we need more than
Mn () P! D(? ; ). We need this convergence to be uniform
over . We also have to make sure that the function D(? ; ) is
well behaved. Here are the formal details.

Let h = gQ1 denote the inverse
of g . Then bn = h(bn ).

For any , L( ) = i f (xi ; h( )) = i f (xi ; ) = L() where

Example 10.15 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn N (; 1). The mle for is bn =
X n . Let = e . Then, the mle for is b = eb = eX . 10.7 Asymptotic Normality
It turns out that bn is approximately Normal and we can
compute its variance analytically. To explore this, we rst need
a few denitions.

an (asymptotic) condence interval.

When you read an opinion poll in the newspaper, you often
see a statement like: the poll is accurate to within one point,

Suppose that X1 ; : : : ; Xn N (; 2 ). The mle is bn = X n .
Another reasonable estimator is the sample median en . The
mle satises
pn(b ) N (0; 2 ):
n
It can be proved that the median satises
pn(e ) N 0; 2 :
n
2
This means that the median converges to the right value but
has a larger variance than the mle .
More generally, consider two estimators Tn and Un and suppose that
pn(T ) N (0; t2 )
n
and that
pn(U
) N (0; u2 ):
We dene the asymptotic relative eÆciency of U to T by ARE (U; T ) =
t2 =u2 . In the Normal example, ARE (en ; bn ) = 2= = :63. The
interpretation is that if you use the median, you are only using
about 63 per cent of the available data.

then

ARE (en ; bn ) 1:
Thus, the mle has the smallest (asymptotic) variance and we
say that mle is eÆcient or asymptotically optimal.
This result is predicated upon the assumed model being correct. If the model is wrong, the mle may no longer be optimal.
We will discuss optimality in more generality when we discuss
decision theory.

10.11 The Parametric Bootstrap
For parametric models, standard errors and condence intervals may also be estimated using the bootstrap. There is
only one change. In the nonparametric bootstrap, we sampled
164
10. Parametric Inference
X1 ; : : : ; Xn from the empirical distribution Fbn . In the parametric bootstrap we sample instead from f (x; bn ). Here, bn could
be the mle or the method of moments estimator.
Example 10.30 Consider example 10.29. To get to bootstrap standardPerror, simulate X1 ; : P
: : ; Xn N (b; b2 ), compute b =
n 1 i Xi and b2 = n 1 i (Xi b )2 . Then compute b =
g (b; b ) = b =b . Repeating this B times yields bootstrap replications

The bootstrap is much easier than the delta method. On the
other hand, the delta method has the advantage that it gives a

10.12.2 SuÆciency
A statistic is a function T (X n) of the data. A suÆcient statistic is a statistic that contains all the information in the data.
To make this more formal, we need some dentions.
Denition 10.32 Write xn
\$ yn if f (xn; ) = c f (yn; )
for some constant c that might depend on xn and y n but
not . A statistic T (xn ) is suÆcient if T (xn ) \$ T (y n)
implies that xn \$ y n.
Notice that if xn \$ y n then the likelihood function based on
xn has the same shape as the likelihood function based on y n.
Roughly speaking, a statistic is suÆcient if we can calculate the
likelihood function knowing only T (X n ).
Example 10.33 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn

10. Parametric Inference
The last expression depends on the data only through T and
therefore, T = (X; S ) is a suÆcient statistic. Note that U =
(17 X; S ) is also a suÆcient statistic. If I tell you the value of U
then you can easily gure out T and then compute the likelihood.
SuÆcient statistics are far from unique. Consider the following
statistics for the N (; 2 ) model:
T1 (X n )
T2 (X n )
T3 (X n )
T4 (X n )
=
=
=
=
(X1 ; : : : ; Xn)
(X; S )
X
(X; S; X3 ):
The rst statistic is just the whole data set. This is suÆcient.
The second is also suÆcient as we proved above. The third is not
suÆcient: you can't compute L(; ) if I only tell you X . The
fourth statistic T4 is suÆcient. The statistics T1 and T4 are suÆcient but they contain redundant information. Intuitively, there
is a sense in which T2 is a \more concise" suÆcient statistic
than either T1 or T4 . We can express this formally by noting
that T2 is a function of T1 and similarly, T2 is a function of T4 .
For example, T2 = g (T4 ) where g (a1 ; a2 ; a3 ) = (a1 ; a2 ). Denition 10.35 A statistic T is minimally suÆcient if
(i) it is suÆcient and (ii) it is a function of every other
suÆcient statistic.
Theorem 10.36 T is minimal suÆcient if T (xn ) = T (y n) if and
only if xn \$ y n .
A statistic induces a partition on the set if outcomes. We can
think of suÆciency in terms of these partitions.
10.12 Technical Appendix
Example 10.37 Let X1 ; X2 ; X3
P
169
Bernoulli().
Let V = X1 ,
T = i Xi and U = (T; X1 ). Here is the set of outcomes and
the statistics:
X1 X2 V T U
0 0 0 0 (0,0)
0 1 0 1 (1,0)
1 0 1 1 (1,1)
1 1 1 2 (2,1)
The partitions induced by these statistics are:
V
T
U
! f(0; 0); (0; 1)g; f(1; 0); (1; 1)g
! f(0; 0)g; f(0; 1); (1; 0)g; f(1; 1)g
! f(0; 0)g; f(0; 1)g; f(1; 0)g; f(1; 1)g:
Then V is not suÆcient but T and U are suÆcient. T is minimal suÆcient; U is not minimal since if xn = (1; 0; 1) and
y n = (0; 1; 1), then xn \$ y n yet U (xn ) 6= U (y n ). The statistic
W = 17 T generates the same partition as T . It is also minimal
suÆcient. Example 10.38 For a N (; 2 ) model, T = (X; S ) is a minimally
P
suÆcient statistic. For the Bernoulli model, T = i XP
i is a
minimally suÆcient statistic. For the Poisson model, TP= i Xi
is a minimally suÆcient statistic. Check that T = ( i Xi ; X1 )
is suÆcient but not minimal suÆcient. Check that T = X1 is
not suÆcient. I did not give the usual denition of suÆciency. The usual
denition is this: T is suÆcient if the distribution of X n given
T (X n ) = t does not depend on .
Example 10.39 Two coin ips. Let X = (X1 ; X2 ) Bernoulli(p).
Then T = X1 + X2 is suÆcient. To see this, we need the distribution of (X1 ; X2 ) given T = t. Since T can take 3 possible
values, there are 3 conditional distributions to check. They are:
170
10. Parametric Inference
(i) the distribution of (X1 ; X2 ) given T = 0:
P (X1 = 0; X2 = 0jt = 0) = 1; P (X1 = 0; X2 = 1jt = 0) = 0;
P (X1 = 1; X2 = 0jt = 0) = 0; P (X1 = 1; X2 = 1jt = 0) = 0
(ii) the distribution of (X1 ; X2 ) given T = 1:
1
P (X1 = 0; X2 = 0jt = 1) = 0; P (X1 = 0; X2 = 1jt = 1) = ;
2
1
P (X1 = 1; X2 = 0jt = 1) = ; P (X1 = 1; X2 = 1jt = 1) = 0
2
(iii) the distribution of (X1 ; X2 ) given T = 2:
P (X1 = 0; X2 = 0jt = 2) = 0; P (X1 = 0; X2 = 1jt = 2) = 0;
P (X1 = 1; X2 = 0jt = 2) = 0; P (X1 = 1; X2 = 1jt = 2) = 1:
None of these depend on the parameter p. Thus, the distribution
of X1 ; X2 jT does not depend on so T is suÆcient. Theorem 10.40 (Factorization Theorem) T is suÆcient if and
only if there are functions g (t; ) and h(x) such that f (xn ; ) =
g (t(xn ); )h(xn ).
Example 10.41 Return to the two coin ips. Let t = x1 + x2 .
Then
f (x1 ; x2 ; ) = f (x1 ; )f (x2 ; )
= x1 (1 )1 x1 x2 (1 )1
= g (t; )h(x1 ; x2 )
where g (t; ) = t (1 )2
X1 + X2 is suÆcient. t
x2
and h(x1 ; x2 ) = 1. Therefore, T =
Now we discuss an implication of suÆciency in point estimation. Let b be an estimator of . The Rao-Blackwell theorem says
that an estimator should only depend on the suÆcient statistic,
otherwise it can be improved. Let R(; b) = E [( b)2 ] denote
the mse of the estimator.

let T be a suÆcient statistic. Dene a new estimator by

Then, for every , R(; e) R(; b):
Example 10.43 Consider ipping a coin twice. Let b = X1 . This
is a well dened (and unbiased) estimator. But it is not a function of the suÆcient statistic T = X1 + X2 . However, note
that e = E (X1 jT ) = (X1 + X2 )=2. By the Rao-Blackwell Theorem, e has MSE at least as small as b = X1 . The P

Most of the parametric models we have studied so far are special cases of a general class of models called exponential families.
We say that ff (x; ; 2 g is a one-parameter exponential
family if there are functions (), B (), T (x) and h(x) such
that
f (x; ) = h(x)e()T (x) B() :
It is easy to see that T (X ) is suÆcient. We call T the natural
suÆcient statistic.
Example 10.44 Let X Poisson(). Then
x e 1 x log = e
x!
x!
and hence, this is an exponential family with () = log , B () =
, T (x) = x, h(x) = 1=x!. f (x; ) =
Example 10.45 Let X

In this case,

T (x) = x; h(x) =

:
x
We can rewrite an exponential family as
f (x; ) = h(x)eT (x) A()
where = () is called the natural parameter and
A( ) = log
Z
h(x)eT (x) dx:
For example a Poisson can be written as f (x; ) = ex e =x!
where the natural parameter is = log .
Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn be iid from a exponential family. Then f (xn ; )
is an exponential family:
n
f (xn ; ) = hn (xn )hn (xn )e()Tn (x )
Q
Bn ()
P
where hn (xn ) = i h(xi P
), Tn (xn ) = i T (xi ) and Bn () =
nB (). This implies that i T (Xi ) is suÆcient.
Example 10.46 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn Uniform(0; ). Then
f (xn ; ) =
1
I (x )
n (n)
where I is 1 if the term inside the brackets is true and 0 otherwise, and x(n) = maxfx1 ; : : : ; xn gP
. Thus T (X n ) = maxfX1 ; : : : ; Xn g
is suÆcient. But since T (X n ) 6= i T (Xi ), this cannot be an exponential family. 10.12 Technical Appendix
173
Theorem 10.47 Let X have density in an exponential family.
Then,
E (T (X )) = A0 ( ); V (T (X )) = A00 ( ):
If = (1 ; : : : ; k ) is a vector, then we say that f (x; ) has
exponential family form if
f (x; ) = h(x) exp
( k
X
j =1
)
j ()Tj (x) B () :
Again, T = (T1 ; : : : ; Tk ) is suÆcient and P
n iid samples also
has
P
exponential form with suÆcient statistic ( i T1 (Xi ); : : : ; i Tk (Xi )).

where A( ) = h(x)eT T (x) dx. It can be shown that

Hypothesis Testing and p-values
Suppose we want to know if a certain chemical causes cancer.
We take some rats and randomly divide them into two groups.
We expose one group to the chemical and then we compare
the cancer rate in the two groups. Consider the following two
h ypotheses:
The Null Hypothesis: The cancer rate is the same
in the two groups
The Alternative Hypothesis: The cancer rate is
not the same in the two groups.
If the exposed group has a much higher rate of cancer than the
unexposed group then we will reject the null hypothesis and
conclude that the evidence fa vors the alternative h ypothesis;
in other words we will conclude that there is evidence that the
chemical causes cancer. This is an example of hypothesis testing.
More formally, suppose that we partition the parameter space
into two disjoint sets 0 and 1 and that we wish to test

We call H0 the null hypothesis and H1 the alternative hypothesis.
Let X be a random variable and let X be the range of X . We
test a hypothesis by nding an appropriate subset of outcomes
R X called the rejection region. If X 2 R we reject the
null hypothesis, otherwise, we do not reject the null hypothesis:
X 2 R =) reject H0
X 2= R =) retain (do not reject) H0
Usually the rejection region R is of the form
n
o
R = x : T (x) > c
where T is a test statistic and c is a critical value. The problem in hypothesis testing is to nd an appropriate test statistic
T and an appropriate cuto value c.
Warning! There is a tendency to use hypthesis testing methods even when they are not appropriate. Often, estimation and
condence intervals are better tools. Use hypothesis testing only
when you want to test a well dened hypothesis.
Hypothesis testing is like a legal trial. We asume someone is
innocent unless the evidence strongly suggests that he is guilty.
Similarly, we retain H0 unless there is strong evidence to reject
H0 . There are two types of errors when can make. Rejecting H0
when H0 is true is called a type I error. Rejecting H1 when
H1 is true is called a type II error. The possible outcomes for
hypothesis testing are summarized in the Table below:

Denition 11.1 The power function of a test with rejection re-
gion R is dened by
() = P (X 2 R):
(11.2)
The size of a test is dened to be
= sup ():

(11.3)
A test is said to have level if its size is less than or equal to
.
A hypothesis of the form = 0 is called a simple hypothesis. A hypothesis of the form > 0 or < 0 is called a
composite hypothesis. A test of the form
H0 : = 0 versus H1 : 6= 0
is called a two-sided test. A test of the form
H0 : 0 versus H1 : > 0
or
H0 : 0 versus H1 : < 0
is called a one-sided test. The most common tests are twosided.

11. Hypothesis Testing and p-values
N (; ) where is known. We
want to test H0 : 0 versus H1 : > 0. Hence, 0 = ( 1; 0]
and 1 = (0; 1). Consider the test:
Example 11.2 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn
reject H0 if T > c

where T = X . The rejection region is R = xn : T (xn ) > c .
Let Z denote a standard normal random variable. The power

So we reject when X > 1 (1 )= n. Equivalently, we reject
when
pn (X 0)
> z : Finding most powerful tests is hard and, in many cases, most
powerful tests don't even exist. Instead of searching for most
powerful tests, we'll just consider three widely used tests: the
Wald test, the 2 test and the permutation test. A fourth test,
the likelihood ratio test, is dicussed in the appendix.
11.1 The Wald Test

11.1 The Wald Test
Let be a scalar parameter, let b be an estimate of and let
b be the estimated standard error of b.

The test is named
after Abraham Wald

was a very inuential mathematical
statistician.

Remark 11.5 Most texts dene the Wald test slightly dierently.
They use the standard error computed at = 0 rather then at
the estimated value b. Both versions are valid.

11. Hypothesis Testing and p-values
Let us consider the power of the Wald test when the null
hypothesis is false.

Recall that seb tends to 0 as the sample size increases. Inspecting (11.4) closely we note that: (i) the power is large if ? is far
from 0 and (ii) the power is large if the sample size is large.
Example 11.7 (Comparing Two Prediction Algorithms) We test a
prediction algorithm on a test set of size m and we test a second
prediction algorithm on a second test set of size n. Let X be
the number of incorrect predictions for algorithm 1 and let Y
be the number of incorrect predictions for algorithm 2. Then
X Binomial(m; p1 ) and Y Binomial(n; p2 ). To test the null
hypothesis that p1 = p2 write
H0 : Æ = 0 versus H1 : Æ 6= 0
where Æ = p1

The power of this test will be largest when p1 is far from p2 and
when the sample sizes are large.
11.1 The Wald Test
185
What if we used the same test set to test both algorithms?
The two samples are no longer independent. Instead we use the
following strategy. Let Xi = 1 if algorithm 1 is correct on test
case i and Xi = 0 otherwise. Let Yi = 1 if algorithm 2 is correct
on test case i Yi = 0 otherwise. A typical data set will look
something like this:

P(Yi

ThenPÆb = D = n 1 ni=1 Di and seb (Æb) = S= n where S 2 =
n 1 ni=1 (Di D)2 . To test H0 : Æ = 0 versus H1 : Æ 6= 0 we use
b se
b and reject H0 if jW j > z=2 . This is called a paired
W = Æ=
comparison. Example 11.8 (Comparing Two Means.) Let X1 ; : : : ; Xm and Y1 ; : : : ; Yn
be two independent samples from populations with means 1 and
2 , respectively. Let's test the null hypothesis that 1 = 2 .
Write this as H0 : Æ = 0 versus H1 : Æ 6= 0 where Æ = 1 2 .
Recall that the nonparametric plug-in estimate of Æ is Æb = X Y

Example 11.9 (Comparing Two Medians.) Consider the previous
example again but let us test whether the medians of the two
distributions are the same. Thus, H0 : Æ = 0 versus H1 : Æ 6=
0 where Æ = 1 2 where 1 and 2 are the medians. The
nonparametric plug-in estimate of Æ is Æb = b1 b2 where b1 and
b2 are the sample medians. The estimated standard error seb of
Æb can be obtained from the bootstrap. The Wald test statistic is
b se
b. W = Æ=
There is a relationship between the Wald test and the 1
asymptotic condence interval b seb z=2 .
Theorem 11.10 The size Wald test rejects H0 : = 0 versus
H1 : 6= 0 if and only if 0 2= C where
C = (b seb z=2 ; b + seb z=2 ):
Thus, testing the hypothesis is equivalent to checking whether
the null value is in the condence interval.
11.2 p-values
Reporting \reject H0 " or \retain H0 " is not very informative.
Instead, we could ask, for every , whether the test rejects at
that level. Generally, if the test rejects at level it will also
reject at level 0 > . Hence, there is a smallest at which the
test rejects and we call this number the p-value.
11.2 p-values
187
Denition 11.11 Suppose that for every 2 (0; 1) we have
a size test with rejection region R . Then,
n
p-value = inf :
T (X n)
o
2 R :
That is, the p-value is the smallest level at which we can
reject H0 .
Informally, the p-value is a measure of the evidence against
H0 : the smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence against
H0 . Typically, researchers use the following evidence scale:
p-value
< :01
.01 - .05
.05 - .10
> :1
evidence
very strong evidence againt H0
strong evidence againt H0
weak evidence againt H0
little or no evidence againt H0
Warning! A large p-value is not strong evidence in favor of
H0 . A large p-value can occur for two reasons: (i) H0 is true or
(ii) H0 is false but the test has low power.
But do not confuse the p-value with P(H0 jData). The pvalue is not the probability that the null hypothesis is
true.
The following result explains how to compute the p-value.
Theorem 11.12 Suppose that the size test is of the form
reject H0 if and only if T (X n) c :
Then,
p-value = sup P (T (X n ) T (xn )):
20
In words, the p-value is the probability (under H0 ) of observing
a value of the test statistic as or more extreme than what was
actually observed.
We discuss quantities like P(H0 jData)
in the chapter on
Bayesian inference.
188
11. Hypothesis Testing and p-values
For a Wald test, W has an aproximate N (0; 1) distribution
under H0 . Hence, the p-value is
p-value P jZ j > jwj = 2P Z <
jw j
= 2 Z <
jw j
(11.5)
0 )=seb is the observed value of
where Z N (0; 1) and w
the test statistic.
Here is an important property of p-values.
= (b
Theorem 11.13 If the test statistic has a continuous distribu-
tion, then under H0 : = 0 , the p-value has a Uniform (0,1)
distribution.
If the p-value is less than .05 then people often report that
\the result is statistically signicant at the 5 per cent level."
This just means that the null would be rejected if we used a size
= 0:05 test. In general, the size test rejects if and only if
p-value < .

To compute the p-value, let Z N (0; 1) denote a standard Normal random variable. Then,
p-value = P(jZ j > 3:78) = 2P(Z < 3:78) = :0002
which is very strong evidence against the null hypothesis. To
test if the medians are dierent, let b1 and b2 denote the sample
medians. Then,

11.3 The 2 distribution
189
where the standard error 7.7 was found using the boostrap. The
p-value is
p-value = P(jZ j > 2:4) = 2P(Z < 2:4) = :02
which is strong evidence against the null hypothesis. Warning! A result might be statistically signicant and yet
the size of the eect might be small. In such a case we have a
result that is statistically signicant but not practically signicant. It is wise to report a condence interval as well.
11.3 The distribution

Let Z ; : : : ; Zk be independent, standard normals. Let V =
Then we say that V has a 2 distribution with k degrees of freedom, written V 2k . The probability density of V
is
v (k=2) 1 e v=2
f (v ) = k=2
2 (k=2)
for v > 0. It can be shown that E (V ) = k and V (k) = 2k. We
dene the upper quantile 2k; = F 1 (1 ) where F is the

11.4 Pearson's Test For Multinomial Data

Pearson's 2 test is used for multinomial data. Recall that
X = (X1 ; : : : ; Xk ) has a multinomial distribution if

f (x1 ; : : : ; xk ; p) =
px1 pxkk
x1 : : : xk 1
where

The mle of p is pb = (pb1 ; : : : ; pbk ) = (X1 =n; : : : ; Xk =n).
190
11. Hypothesis Testing and p-values
Let (p01 ; : : : ; p0k ) be some xed set of probabilities and suppose we want to test
H0 : (p1 ; : : : ; pk ) = (p01 ; : : : ; p0k ) versus H1 : (p1 ; : : : ; pk ) 6= (p01 ; : : : ; p0k ):

2k 1 . Hence the test: reject H0
if T > 2k 1; has asymptotic level . The p-value is P(2k > t)
where t is the observed value of the test statistic.
Theorem 11.15 Under H0 , T
Example 11.16 (Mendel's peas.) Mendel bred peas with round yel-
low seeds and wrinkled green seeds. There are four types of progeny:
round yellow, wrinkled yellow, round green and (4) wrinkled
green. The number of each type is multinomial with probability
(p1 ; p2 ; p3 ; p4 ). His theory of inheritance predicts that

In n = 556 trials he observed X = (315; 101; 108; 32). Since,
np10 = 312:75; np20 = np30 = 104:25 and np40 = 34:75, the test
statistic is
(315 312:75)2 (101 104:25)2 (108 104:25)2 (32 34:75)2

The = :05 value for a 23 is 7.815. Since 0:47 is not larger
than 7.815 we do not reject the null. The p-value is
p-value = P(23 > :47) = :07
which is only moderate evidence againt H0 . Hence, the data do
not contradict Mendel's theory. Interestingly, there is some controversey about whether Mendel's results are \too good." 11.5 The Permutation Test
191
11.5 The Permutation Test
The permutation test is a nonparametric method for testing whether two distribution are the same. This test is \exact"
meaning that it is not based on large sample theory approximations. Suppose that X1 ; : : : ; Xm FX and Y1 ; : : : ; Yn FY are
two independent samples and H0 is the hypothesis that the two
samples are identically distributed. This is the type of hypothesis we would consider when testing whether a treatment diers
from a placebo. More precisely we are testing
H0 : FX = FY versus H1 : FX =
6 FY :
Let T (x1 ; : : : ; xm ; y1 ; : : : ; yn) be some test statistic, for example,
T (X1 ; : : : ; Xm ; Y1; : : : ; Yn ) = jX m
Y n j:
Let N = m + n and consider forming all N ! permutations of
the data X1 ; : : : ; Xm ; Y1 ; : : : ; Yn . For each permutation, compute
the test statistic T . Denote these values by T1 ; : : : ; TN ! . Under
the null hypothesis, each of these values is equally likely. The
distribution P0 that puts mass 1=N ! on each Tj is called the
permutation distribution of T . Let tobs be the observed value
of the test statistic. Assuming we reject when T is large, the pvalue is
N!
1 X
p-value = P0 (T > tobs ) =
I (T > t ):
N ! j =1 j obs
Example 11.17 Here is a toy example to make the idea clear.
Suppose the data are: (X1 ; X2 ; Y1 ) = (1; 9; 3). Let T (X1 ; X2 ; Y1) =
jX Y j = 2. The permutations are:
Under the null hypothesis, given the
ordered data values,
X1 ; : : : ; Xm ; Y1; : : : ; Yn
is uniformly distributed over the
N ! permutations of
the data.

The p-value is P(T > 2) = 4=6. Usually, it is not practical to evaluate all N ! permutations.
We can approximate the p-value by sampling randomly from
the set of permutations. The fraction of times Tj > tobs among
these samples approximates the p-value.
Algorithm for Permutation Test
1. Compute the observed value of the test statistic tobs =
T (X1 ; : : : ; Xm ; Y1 ; : : : ; Yn).
2. Randomly permute the data. Compute the statistic again
using the permuted data.
3. Repeat the previous step B times and let T1 ; : : : ; TB denote the resulting values.

Example 11.18 DNA microarrays allow researchers to measure
the expression levels of thousands of genes. The data are the levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) of each gene, which is thought
11.6 Multiple Testing
193
to provide a measure how much protein that gene produces.
Roughly, the larger the number, the more active the gene. The
table below, reproduced from Efron, et. al. (JASA, 2001, p. 1160)
shows the expression levels for genes from two types of liver cancer cells. There are 2,638 genes in this experiment but here we
show just the rst two. The data are log-ratios of the intensity
levels of two dierent color dyes used on the arrays.

Let's test whether the median level of gene 1 is dierent between the two groups. Let 1 denote the median level of gene 1
of Type I and let 2 denote the median level of gene 1 of Type II.
The absolute dierence of sample medians is T = jb1 b2 j = 710.
Now we estimate the permutation distribution by simulation and
we nd that the estimated p-value is .045. Thus, if we use a
= :05 level of signicance, we would say that there is evidence
to reject the null hypothesis of no dierence. In large samples, the permutation test usually gives similar
results to a test that is based on large sample theory. The permutation test is thus most useful for small samples.
11.6 Multiple Testing
In some situations we may conduct many hypothesis tests. In
example 11.18, there were actually 2,638 genes. If we tested for a
dierence for each gene, we would be conducting 2,638 separate
hypothesis tests. Suppose each test is conducted at level . For
any one test, the chance of a false rejection of the null is .
But the chance of at least one false rejection is much higher.
194
11. Hypothesis Testing and p-values
This is the multiple testing problem. The problem comes up
in many data mining situations where one may end up testing
thousands or even millions of hypotheses. There are many ways
to deal with this problem. Here we discuss two methods.
Consider m hypothesis tests:
H0i versus H1i ; i = 1; : : : ; m
and let P1 ; : : : ; Pm denote m p-values for these tests.
The Bonferroni Method
Given p-values P1 ; : : : ; Pm , reject null hypothesis H0i if Pi < =m.
Theorem 11.19 Using the Bonferroni method, the probability of
falsely rejecting any null hypotheses is less than or equal to .
Let R be the event that at least one null hypotheses
is falsely rejected. Let Ri be the event that the ith null hypothesisSis falsely rejected.
Recall that if A1 ; : : : ; Ak are events then
Pk
k
P( i=1 Ai ) i=1 P(Ai ). Hence,
Proof.
P(R) = P
m
[
i=1

Ri

P (Ri ) =

i=1
from Theorem 11.13. Example 11.20 In the gene example, using = :05, we have
that :05=2638 = :00001895375. Hence, for any gene with p-value
less than .00001895375, we declare that there is a signicant
dierence.
The Bonferroni method is very conservative because it is trying to make it unlikely that you would make even one false
rejection. Sometimes, a more reasonable idea is to control the
11.6 Multiple Testing
195
false discovery rate (FDR) which is dened as the mean of the
number of false rejections divided by the number of rejections.
Suppose we reject all null hypotheses whose p-values fall below some threshold. Let m0 be the number of null hypotheses
are true and m1 = m m0 null hypotheses are false. The tests
can be categorize in a 2 2 as in the following table.
H0 True

4. Rejects all null hypotheses H0i for which Pi t:
196
11. Hypothesis Testing and p-values
Theorem 11.21 (Benjamini and Hochberg) If the procedure
above is applied, then regardless of how many nulls are true
and regardless of the distribution of the p-values when the null
hypthesis is false,
FDR = E (FDP) m0
:
m
Example 11.22 Figure 11.1 shows 7 ordered p-values plotted as
vertical lines. If we tested at level without doing any corection for mutiple testing, we would reject all hypotheses whose
p-values are less than . In this case, the 5 hypotheses corresponding to the 5 smallest p-values are rejected. The Bonferroni
method rejects all hypotheses whose p-values are less than =m.
In this example, this leads to no rejections. The BH threshold
corresponds to the last p-value that falls under the line with slope
. This leads to three hypotheses being rejected in this case. The Bonferonni method controls the probability
of a single false rejection. This is very strict and leads to low
power when there are many tests. The FDR method controls the
fraction of false discoveries which is a more reasonable criterion
when there are many tests.

11.7.3 The t-test
To test H0 : = 0 where is the mean, we can use the Wald
test. When the data are assumed to be Normal and the sample
size is small, it is common instead to use the t-test. A random
variable T has a t-distribution with k degrees of freedom if it has

When the degrees of freedom k ! 1, this tends to a Normal
distribution. When k = 1 it reduces to a Cauchy.

if we reject when jT j > tn 1;=2 then we get a size test.

Let = (1 ; : : : ; q ; q+1 ; : : : ; r ) and suppose that 0 consists

Bayesian Inference
12.1 The Bay esianPhilosophy
The statistical theory and methods that we hav e discussed
so far are known as frequentist (or classical) inference. The
frequentist point of view is based on the following postulates:
(F1) Probability refers to limiting relative frequencies. Probabilities are objective properties of the real world.
(F2) P arameters are xed, (usually unknown) constants. Because they are not uctuating, no probability statements can
(F3) Statistical procedures should be designed to hav e well dened long run frequency properties. F or example, a 95 per cent
condence in terval should trap the true v alue of the parameter
with limiting frequency at least 95per cent.
There is another approach to inference called Bay esian inference. The Bay esian approach is based on the following postulates:
206
12. Bayesian Inference
(B1) Probability describes degree of belief, not limiting frequency. As such, we can make probability statements about lots
of things, not just data which are subject to random variation.
For example, I might say that `the probability that Albert Einstein drank a cup of tea on August 1 1948" is .35. This does not
refer to any limiting frequency. It reects my strength of belief
that the proposition is true.
(B2) We can make probability statements about parameters,
even though they are xed constants.
(B3) We make inferences about a parameter , by producing
a probability distribution for . Inferences, such as point estimates and interval estimates may then be extracted from this
distribution.
Bayesian inference is a controversial approach because it inherently embraces a subjective notion of probability. In general,
Bayesian methods provide no guarantees on long run performance. The eld of Statistics puts more emphasis on frequentist
methods although Bayesian methods certainly have a presence.
Certain data mining and machine learning communuties seem to
embrace Bayesian methods very strongly. Let's put aside philosophical arguments for now and see how Bayesian inference is
done. We'll conclude this chapter with some discussion on the
strengths and weaknesses of each approach.
12.2 The Bayesian Method
Bayesian inference is usually carried out in the following way.
1. We choose a probability density f () { called the prior
distribution { that expresses our degrees of beliefs about
a parameter before we see any data.
12.2 The Bayesian Method
207
2. We choose a statistical model f (xj) that reects our beliefs about x given . Notice that we now write this as
f (xj) instead of f (x; ).
3. After observing data X1 ; : : : ; Xn, we update our beliefs
and form the posterior distribution f (jX1 ; : : : ; Xn ).
To see how the third step is carried out, rst, suppose that is
discrete and that there is a single, discrete observation X . We
should use a capital letter now to denote the parameter since
we are treating it like a random variable so let denote the
parameter. Now, in this discrete setting,
P (X = x; = ) PP (X = xj = )P ( = )
=
P ( = jX = x) =
P (X = x)
P (X = xj = )P ( = )
which you may recognize from earlier in the course as Bayes'
theorem. The version for continuous variables is obtained by
using density functions:
f (xj)f ()
f (jx) = R
:
(12.1)
f (xj)f ()d
If we have n iid observations
X1 ; : : : ; Xn, we replace f (xj)
Qn
with f (x1 ; : : : ; xn j) = i=1 f (xi j). Let us write X n to mean
(X1 ; : : : ; Xn ) and xn to mean (x1 ; : : : ; xn ). Then
L ()f () / L ()f ():
f (xn j)f ()
=R n
f (jxn ) = R
n
f (x j)f ()d
Ln()f ()d n
(12.2)
In the right hand
side of the last equation, we threw away the
R
denominator Ln()f ()d which is a constant that does not
depend on ; we call this quantity the normalizing constant.
We can summarize all this by writing:
\posterior is proportional to likelihood times prior:00 (12.3)
You might wonder,
doesn't it cause a problem to throw away
R
the constant Ln ()f ()d? The answer is that we can always
208
12. Bayesian Inference
R
recover the constant is since we know that f (jxn )d = 1.
Hence, we often omit the constant until we really need it.
What do we do with the posterior? First, we can get a point
estimate by summarizing the center of the posterior. Typically,
we use the mean or mode of the posterior. The posterior mean
is

n = f (jx )d = R n

Example 12.1 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn
Bernoulli(p). Suppose we take
the uniform distribution f (p) = 1 as a prior. By Bayes' theorem
the posterior has the form
f (pjxn ) / f (p)Ln(p) = ps (1 p)n s = ps+1 1 (1 p)n s+1 1
P
where s = i xi is the number of heads. Recall that random
variable has a Beta distribution with parameters and if its
density is
f (p; ; ) =
( + ) 1
p (1 p) 1 :
() ( )
We see that the posterior for p is a Beta distribution with parameters s + 1 and n s + 1. That is,
f (pjxn ) =
(n + 2)
p(s+1) 1 (1 p)(n s+1) 1 :
(s + 1) (n s + 1)
We write this as
pjxn Beta(s + 1; n s + 1):
12.2 The Bayesian Method
209
Notice that we have gured Rout the normalizing constant without
actually doing the integral Ln (p)f (p)dp. The mean of a Beta
(; ) is =( + ) so the Bayes estimator is
p=
s+1
:
n+2
It is instructive to rewrite the estimator as
p = n pb + (1 n)pe
where pb = s=n is the mle, pe = 1=2 is the prior mean and n =
n=(n + 2) 1. A 95 per cent posterior interval
can be obtained
Rb
by numerically nding a and b such that a f (pjxn ) dp = :95.
Suppose that instead of a uniform prior, we use the prior p Beta(; ). If you repeat the calculations above, you will see that
pjxn Beta( + s; + n s). The at prior is just the special
case with = = 1. The posterior mean is

where p0 = =( + ) is the prior mean. In the previous example, the prior was a Beta distribution
and the posterior was a Beta distribution. When the prior and
the posterior are in the same family, we say that the prior is
conjugate.
N (; 2 ). For simplicity, let us
assume that is known. Suppose we take as a prior N (a; b2 ).
Example 12.2 Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn
In problem 1 in the homework, it is shown that the posterior for
is
jX n N (a; b2 )

and se = = n is the standard error of the mle X . This is
another example of a conjugate prior. Note that w ! 1 and
=se ! 1 as n ! 1. So, for large n, the posterior is approxb se2 ). The same is true if n is xed but b ! 1,
imately N (;
which corresponds to letting the prior become very at.
Continuing with this example, let is nd C = (c; d) such that
P r( 2 C jX n) = :95. We can do this by choosing c such that
P r( < cjX n ) = :025 and P r( > djX n) = :025. So, we want to
nd c such that
c n
n
P ( < cjX ) = P
<
X
c = P Z<
= :025:
Now, we know that P (Z < 1:96) = :025. So
c = 1:96
implying that c = 1:96: By similar arguments, d = + 1:96:
So a 95 per cent Bayesian interval is 1:96 . Since b
and se, the 95 per cent Bayesian interval is approximated
by b 1:96 se which is the frequentist condence interval. 12.3 Functions of Parameters
How do we make inferences about a function = g ()? Remember in Chapter 3 we solved the following problem: given
the density fX for X , nd the density for Y = g (X ). We now
simply apply the same reasoning. The posterior cdf for is

The posterior can often be approximated by simulation. Suppose we draw 1 ; : : : ; B p(jxn ). Then a histogram of 1 ; : : : ; B
approximates the posterior density p(jxn ). An approximation

212
12. Bayesian Inference
P
to the posterior mean n = E (jxn ) is B 1 Bj=1 j : The posterior 1 interval can be approximated by (=2 ; 1 =2 ) where
=2 is the =2 sample quantile of 1 ; : : : ; B .
Once we have a sample 1 ; : : : ; B from f (jxn ), let i = g (i ).
Then 1 ; : : : ; B is a sample from f ( jxn ). This avoids the need
to do any analytical calculations. Simulation is discussed in more
detail later in the book.
Example 12.4 Consider again Example 12.3. We can approximate the posterior for without doing any calculus. Here are
the steps:
1. Draw P1 ; : : : ; PB Beta(s + 1; n s + 1).
2. Let i = log(Pi =(1 Pi )) for i = 1; : : : ; B .
Now 1 ; : : : ; B are iid draws from h( jxn ). A histogram of
these values provides an estimate of h( jxn ). 12.5 Large Sample Properties of Bayes'

where b = g (b) and se
e = se jg 0 (b)j.
12.6 Flat Priors, Improper Priors and
\Noninformative" Priors.
A big question in Bayesian inference is: where do you get
the prior f ()? One school of thought, called \subjectivism"
says that the prior should reect our subjective opinion about
before the data are collected. This may be possible in some
cases but seems impractical in complicated problems especially
if there are many parameters. An alternative is to try to dene
some sort of \noninformative prior." An obvious candidate for
a noninformative prior is to use a \at" prior f () / constant.
In the Bernoulli example, taking f (p) = 1 leads to pjX n Beta(s + 1; n s + 1) as we saw earlier which seemed very reasonable. But unfettered use of at priors raises some questions.
Consider the N (; 1) example. Suppose
a at prior f () / c where c > 0 is a constant. Note
R
that f ()d = 1 so this is not a real probability density
in the usual sense. We call such a prior an improper prior.
Nonetheless, we can still carry out Bayes' theorem and compute
the posterior density f () / Ln ()f () / Ln (). In the normal example, this gives jX n N (X; 2 =n) and the resulting
point and interval estimators agree exactly with their frequentist counterparts. In general, improper priors are not a problem
as long as the resulting posterior is a well dened probability
distribution.
Improper Priors.
Flat Priors are Not Invariant. Go back to the Bernoulli
example and consider using the at prior f (p) = 1. Recall that
a at prior presumably represents our lack of information about
p before the experiment. Now let = log(p=(1 p)). This is a
transformation and we can compute the resulting distribution
214
12. Bayesian Inference
for . It turns out that
f ( ) =
e
:
(1 + e )2
But one could argue that if we are ignorant about p then we are
also ignorant about so shouldn't we use a at prior for ? This
contradicts the prior f ( ) for that is implied by using a at
prior for p. In short, the notion of a at prior is not well-dened
because a at prior on a parameter does not imply a at prior
on a transformed version of the parameter. Flat priors are not
transformation invariant.
Jereys came up with a \rule" for creating priors. The rule is: take f () / I ()1=2 where I () is the
Fisher information function. This rule turns out to be transformation invariant. There are various reasons for thinking that
this prior might be a useful prior but we will not go into details
here.
Example 12.6 Consider the Bernoulli (p). Recall that
Jeffreys' Prior.
I (p) =
1
p(1 p)
:
Jerey's rule says to use the prior
f (p) /
p
I (p) = p 1=2 (1 p) 1=2 :
This is a Beta (1/2,1/2) density. This is very close to a uniform
density.
In a multiparameter
problem, the Jereys' prior is dened to
p
be f () / detI () where det(A) denotes the determinant of
a matrix A.
12.7 Multiparameter Problems
12.7 Multiparameter Problems
215
In principle, multiparameter problems are handled the same
way. Suppose that = (1 ; : : : ; p ). The posterior density is still
given by
p(jxn ) / Ln ()f ():
The question now arises of how to extract inferences about one
parameter. The key is nd the marginal posterior density for
the parameter of interest. Suppose we want to make inferences
about 1 . The marginal posterior for 1 is
f (1 j
xn )
=
Z
Z
f (1; ; pjxn )d2 : : : dp:
In practice, it might not be feasible to do this integral. Simulation can help. Draw randomly from the posterior:
1 ; : : : ; B f (jxn)
where the superscripts index the dierent draws. Each j is a
vector j = (1j ; : : : ; pj ). Now collect together the rst component of each draw:
11 ; : : : ; 1B :
These are a sample from f (1 jxn ) and we have avoided doing
any integrals.
Example 12.7 (Comparing two binomials.) Suppose we have n1 control patients and n2 treatment patients and that X1 control patients survive while X2 treatment patients survive. We want to
estimate = g (p1 ; p2 ) = p2 p1 . Then,
X1 Binomial(n1 ; p1 ) and X2 Binomial(n2 ; p2 ):
Suppose we take f (p1 ; p2 ) = 1. The posterior is
f (p1 ; p2 jx1 ; x2 ) / px1 1 (1 p1 )n1
x1 px2 (1
2
p2 )n2
x2 :
Notice that (p1 ; p2 ) live on a rectangle (a square, actually) and
that
f (p1 ; p2 jx1 ; x2 ) = f (p1 jx1 )f (p2 jx2 )
216
12. Bayesian Inference
where
f (p1 jx1 ) / px1 1 (1 p1 )n1 x1 and f (p2 jx2 ) / px2 2 (1 p2 )n2 x2
which implies that p1 and p2 are independent under the posterior. Also, p1 jx1 Beta(x1 + 1; n1 x1 + 1) and p2 jx2 Beta(x2 +1; n2 x2 +1). If we simulate P1;1 ; : : : ; P1;B Beta(x1 +
1; n1 x1 +1) and P2;1 ; : : : ; P2;B Beta(x2 +1; n2 x2 +1) then
b = P2;b P1;b , b = 1; : : : ; B , is a sample from f ( jx1 ; x2 ). 12.8 Strengths and Weaknesses of Bayesian
Inference
Bayesian inference is appealing when prior information is available since Bayes' theorem is a natural way to combine prior information with data. Some people nd Bayesian inference psychologically appealing because it allows us to make probability
statements about parameters. In contrast, frequentist inference
provides condence sets Cn which trap the parameter 95 per
cent of the time, but we cannot say that P( 2 CnjX n ) is .95.
In the frequentist approach we can make probability statements
about Cn not . However, psychological appeal is not really an
argument for using one type of inference over another.
In parametric models, with large samples, Bayesian and frequentist methods give approximately the same inferences. In
general, they need not agree. Consider the following example.
Example 12.8 Let X
N (; 1)
and suppose we use the prior
N (0; 2 ). From (12.5), the posterior is

C = (a; b) where
p
p
a = cx
cz=2 and b = cx + cz=2 :
12.9 Appendix
217
Thus, P( 2 C jX ) = 1 . We can now ask, from a frequntist
perspective, what is the coverage of C , that is, how often will
this interval contain the true value? The answer is
P (a < < b) =

0, the coverage can be very small. Thus, upon repeated use, the
Bayesian 95 per cent interval might contain the true value with
frequency near 0! In contrast, a condence interval has coverage
95 per cent coverage no matter what the true value of is. What should we conclude from all this? The important thing
is to understand that frequentist and Bayesian methods are answering dierent questions. To combine prior beliefs with data
in a principled way, use bayesian inference. To construct procedures with guaranteed long run performance, such as condence
intervals, use frequentist methods. It is worth remarking that it
is possible to develop nonparametric Bayesian methods similar
to plug-in estimation and the bootstrap. be forewarned, however, that the frequency properties of nonparametric Bayesian
methods can sometimes be quite poor.
12.9 Appendix
Proof of Theorem 12.5.
It can be shown that the eect of the prior diminishes as
n increases so that f (jX n) / Ln()f () Ln(). Hence,

Some references on Bayesian inference include Carlin and
Louis (1996), Gelman, Carlin, Stern and Rubin (1995), Lee
(1997), Robert (1994) and Schervish (1995). See Cox (1997), Diaconis and Freedman (1996), Freedman (2001), Barron, Schervish
and Wasserman (1999), Ghosal, Ghosh and van der Vaart (2001),
Shen and Wasserman (2001) and Zhao (2001) for discussions of
some of the technicalities of nonparametric Bayesian inference.

Linear Regression
Regression is a method for studying the relationship between a response variable Y and a covariates X . The covariate is also called a predictor variable or a feature. Later,
we will generalize and allow for more than one covariate. The The term \regression" is due to

function.
14.1
Simple Linear Regression
The simplest version of regression is when Xi is simple (a
scalar not a vector) and r(x) is assumed to be linear:
r(x) = 0 + 1 x:

14.
Linear Regression
This model is called the the simple linear regression model.
Let i = Yi (0 + 1 Xi ). Then,
E (i

(0 + 1 Xi )jXi) = E (Yi jXi )
r(Xi) (0 + 1 Xi )
(0 + 1 Xi ) (0 + 1 Xi )

E (Yi
(0 + 1 Xi )
Let 2 (x) = V (i jX = x). We will make the further simplifying
assumption that 2 (x) = 2 does not depend on x. We can thus
write the linear regression model as follows.
Denition 14.1 The Linear Regresion Model
Yi = 0 + 1 Xi + i
(14.2)
where E (i jXi) = 0 and V (i jXi ) = 2 .
Example 14.2 Figure 14.1 shows a plot of Log surface temperature (Y) versus Log light intensity (X) for some nearby stars.
Also on the plot is an estimated linear regression line which will
be explained shortly.
The unknown parameters in the model are the intercept 0
and the slope 1 and the variance 2 . Let b0 and b1 denote
estimates of 0 and 1 . The tted line is dened to be
rb(x) = b0 + b1 x:
(14.3)
The predicted values or tted values are Ybi = rb(Xi ) and the
residuals are dened to be

Example 14.5 Consider the star data from Example 14.2. The
least squares estimates are b0 = 3:58 and b1 = 0:166. The tted
line rb(x) = 3:58 + 0:166x is shown in Figure 14.1. Example 14.6 (The 2001 Presidential Election.) Figure 14.2 shows
the plot of votes for Buchanan (Y) versus votes for Bush (X)
in Florida. The least squares estimates (omitting Palm Beach
County) and the standard errors are
b0 = 66:0991 seb (b0 ) = 17:2926
b1 = 00:0035 seb (b1 ) = 0:0002:
The tted line is
Buchanon = 66:0991 + :0035 Bush:
(We will see later how the standard errors were computed.) Figure 14.2 also shows the residuals. The inferences from linear
14.2 Least Squares and Maximum Likelihood

regression are most accurate when the residuals behave like random normal numbers. Based on the residual plot, this is not the
case in this example. If we repeat the analysis replacing votes
b0 = 2:3298 seb (b0 ) = :3529
b1 = 0:730300 seb (b1 ) = 0:0358:
This gives the t
log(Buchanon) = 2:3298 + :7303 log(Bush):
The residuals look much healthier. Later, we shall address two
interesting questions: (1) how do we see if Palm Beach County
has a statistically plausible outcome? (2) how do we do this problem nonparametrically? 14.2

14.3 Properties of the Least Squares Estimators
251
The term L1 does not involve the parameters 0 and 1 . We shall
focus on the second term L2 which is called the conditional
likelihood, given by
(
)

L2 L(0; 1; ) = fY jX (YijXi) / n exp 22 (Yi i)2 :

(0 + 1 Xi ) : (14.9)
To nd the mle of (0 ; 1 ) we maximize `(0 ; 1 ; ). From (14.9)
we see that maximizing
the likelihood
is the same as minimizing
2
Pn the rss i=1 Yi (0 + 1 Xi ) . Therefore, we have shown the
following.
Theorem 14.7 Under the assumption of Normality, the least squares
estimator is also the maximum likelihood estimator.
We can also maximize `(0 ; 1 ; ) over yielding the mle

This estimator is similar to, but not identical to, the unbiased
estimator. Common practice is to use the unbiased estimator
(14.7).
14.3
Properties of the Least Squares Estimators
We now record the standard errors and limiting distribution
of the least squares estimator. In regression problems, we usually focus on the properties of the estimators conditional on
X n = (X1 ; : : : ; Xn ). Thus, we state the means and variances as
conditional means and variances.

The Wald test statistic for testing H0 : 1 = 0 versus H1 :
1 6= 0 is: reject H0 if W > z=2 where W = b1 =seb (b1 ).
14.4 Prediction
253
Example 14.10 For the election data, on the log scale, a 95 per
cent condence interval is :7303 2(:0358) = (:66; :80). The
fact that the interval excludes 0 The Wald statistics for testing
H0 : 1 = 0 versus H1 : 1 6= 0 is W = j:7303 0j=:0358 = 20:40
with a p-value of P(jZ j > 20:40) 0. This is strong evidence
that that the true slope is not 0. 14.4
Prediction
Suppose we have estimated a regression model rb(x) = b0 + b1
from data (X1 ; Y1 ); : : : ; (Xn; Yn ). We observe the value X = x
of the covariate for a new subject and we want to predict their
outcome Y . An estimate of Y is
Yb = b0 + b1 X :
(14.15)
Using the formula for the variance of the sum of two random
variables,
V (Yb ) = V (b0 + b1 x ) = V (b0 ) + x2 V (b1 ) + 2x Cov(b0 ; b1 ):
Theorem 14.8 gives the formulas for all the terms in this equab (Yb ) is the square root of
tion. The estimated standard error se
this variance, with b2 in place of 2 . However, the condence
interval for Y is not of the usual form Yb z=2 . The appendix
explains why. The correct form of the condence interval is given
in the following Theorem. We call the interval a prediction interval.

(14.17)
Example 14.12 (Election Data Revisited.) On the log-scale, our linear regression gives the following prediction equation: log (Buchanon) =
2:3298 + :7303log (Bush). In Palm Beach, Bush had 152954
11.93789 and 8.151045. How likely is this outcome, assuming
our regression model is appropriate? Our prediction for log Buchanan
votes -2.3298 + .7303 (11.93789)=6.388441. Now 8.151045 is
bigger than 6.388441 but is is \signicantly" bigger? Let us compute a condence interval. We nd that bn = :093775 and the approximate 95 per cent condence interval is (6.200,6.578) which
clearly excludes 8.151. Indeed, 8.151 is nearly 20 standard errors from Yb . Going back to the vote scale by exponentiating, the
condence interval is (493,717) compared to the actual number
of votes which is 3467. 14.5
Multiple Regression
Now suppose we have k covariates X1 ; : : : ; Xk . The data are
of the form
(Y1 ; X1 ); : : : ; (Yi; Xi ); : : : ; (Yn; Xn )
where
Xi = (Xi1 ; : : : ; Xik ):
14.5 Multiple Regression
255
Here, Xi is the vector of k covariate values for the ith observation. The linear regression model is
Yi =
k
X
j =1
j Xij + i
(14.18)
for i = 1; : : : ; n, where E (i jX1i ; : : : ; Xki) = 0. Usually we want
to include an intercept in the model which we can do by setting
Xi1 = 1 for i = 1; : : : ; n. At this point it will be more convenient
to express the model in matrix notation. The outcomes will be
denoted by

This table is typical of the output of a multiple regression program. The \t-value" is the Wald test statistic for testing H0 :
j = 0 versus H1 : j 6= 0. The asterisks denote \degree of
signicance" with more asterisks being signicant at a smaller
level. The example raises several important questions. In particular: (1) should we eliminate some variables from this model?
(2) should we interpret this relationships as causal? For example, should we conclude that low crime prevention expenditures
cause high crime rates? We will address question (1) in the next
section. We will not address question (2) until a later Chapter.
14.6
Model Selection
Example 14.14 illustrates a problem that often arises in multiple regression. We may have data on many covariates but we
may not want to include all of them in the model. A smaller
model with fewer covariates has two advantages: it might give
better predictions than a big model and it is more parsimonious
(simpler). Generally, as you add more variables to a regression,
258
14.
Linear Regression
the bias of the predictions decreases and the variance increases.
Too few covariates yields high bias; too many covariates yields
high variance. Good predictions result from achieving a good
balance between bias and variance.
In model selection there are two problems: (i) assigning a
\score" to each model which measures, in some sense, how good
the model is and (ii) searching through all the models to nd
the model with the best score.
Let us rst discuss the problem of scoring models. Let S f1; : : : ; kg and let XS = fXj : j 2 S g denote a subset of the
covariates. Let S denote the coeÆcients of the corresponding
set of covariates and let bS denote the least squares estimate of
S . Also, let XS denote the X matrix for this subset of covariates and dene rbS (x) to be the estimated regression function
from (14.21). The predicted valus from model S are denoted by
Ybi (S ) = rbS (Xi ). The prediction risk is dened to be
R(S ) =
n
X
i=1
E (Ybi (S )
Yi )2
(14.23)
where Yi denotes the value of a future observation of Yi at
covariate value Xi . Our goal is to choose S to make R(S ) small.
The training error is dened to be
Rbtr (S ) =
n
X
i=1
(Ybi (S )
Yi )2 :
This estimate is very biased and under-estimates R(S ).
Theorem 14.15 The training error is a downward biased estimate of the prediction risk:
btr (S )) < R(S ):
E (R
In fact,
bias (Rbtr (S )) = E (Rbtr (S )) R(S ) = 2
X
i=1
Cov(Ybi; Yi ): (14.24)
14.6 Model Selection
259
The reason for the bias is that the data are being used twice:
to estimate the parameters and to estimate the risk. When
we t a complex model with many parameters, the covariance
Cov(Ybi ; Yi) will be large and the bias of the training error gets
worse. In summary, the training error is a poor estimate of risk.
Here are some better estimates.
Mallow's Cp statistic is dened by
Rb(S ) = Rbtr (S ) + 2jS jb2

where jS j denotes the number of terms in S and b2 is the estimate of 2 obtained from the full model (with all covariates
in the model). This is simply the training error plus a bias correction. This estimate is named in honor of Colin Mallows who
invented it. The rst term in (14.25) measures the t of the
model while the second measure the complexity of the model.
Think of the Cp statistic as:
lack of t + complexity penalty:
Thus, nding a good model involves trading o t and
complexity.
A related method for estimating risk is AIC (Akaike Information Criterion). The idea is to choose S to maximize

cross-validation. In this case, the risk estimator is

where Yb(i) ) is the prediction for Yi obtained by tting the model

RbCV (S ) =

where Uii (S ) is the ith diagonal element of the matrix
U (S ) = XS (XST XS ) 1 XST :
(14.29)
Thus, one need not actually drop each observation and re-t
the model. A generalization is k-fold cross-validation. Here
we divide the data into k groups; often people take k = 10. We
omit one group of data and t the models to the remaining data.
We use the tted model to predict the data in the group that
P
was omitted. We then estimate the risk by i (Yi Ybi )2 where
the sum is over the the data points in the omitted group. This
process is repeated for each of the k groups and the resulting
risk estimates are averaged.
For linear regression, Mallows Cp and cross-validation often
yield essentially the same results so one might as well use Mallows' method. In some of the more complex problems we will
discuss later, cross-validation will be more useful.
Another scoring method is BIC (Bayesian information criterion). Here we choose a model to maximize
BIC(S ) = rss (S ) + 2jS jb2:
(14.30)
The BIC score has a Bayesian interpretation. Let S = fS1 ; : : : ; Sm g
denote a set of models. Suppose we assign the prior P(Sj ) = 1=m
over the models. Also, assume we put a smooth prior on the parameters within each model. It can be shown that the posterior
probability for a model is approximately,
j
P(Sj data)
BIC (Sj )
Pe eBIC S :
r
( r)
14.6 Model Selection
261
Hence, choosing the model with highest BIC is like choosing the
model with highest posterior probability. The BIC score also has
an information-theoretic interpretation in terms of something
called minimum description length. The BIC score is identical
to Mallows Cp except that it puts a more severe penalty for
complexity. It thus leads one to choose a smaller model than
the other methods.
Now let us turn to the problem of model search. If there are k
covariates then there are 2k possible models. We need to search
through all these models, assign a score to each one, and choose
the model with the best score. If k is not too large we can do
a complete search over all the models. When k is large, this is
infeasible. In that case we need to search over a subset of all
the models. Two common methods are forward and backward stepwise regression. In forward stepwise regression, we
one at a time until the score does not improve. Backwards stepwise regression is the same except that we start with the biggest
model and drop one variable at a time. Both are greedy searches;
nether is guaranteed to nd the model with the best score. Another popular method is to do random searching through the
set of all models. However, there is no reason to expect this to
be superior to a deterministic search.
Example 14.16 We apply backwards stepwise regression to the
crime data using AIC. The following was obtained from the program R. This program uses minus our version of AIC. Hence,
we are seeking the smallest possible AIC. This is the same is
minimizing Mallows Cp .
262
14.
Linear Regression
The full model (which includes all covariates) has AIC= 310.37.
The AIC scores, in ascending order, for deleting one variable are
as follows:
variable Pop Labor South Wealth Males U1 Educ. U2 Age Expend
AIC
308 309
309
309
310 310 312 314 315
324
For example, if we dropped Pop from the model and kept the
other terms, then the AIC score would be 308. Based on this information we drop \population" from the model and the current
AIC score is 308. Now we consider dropping a variable from the
current model. The AIC scores are:
variable South Labor Wealth Males U1 Education U2 Age Expend
AIC
308
308
308
309 309
310
313 313
329
We then drop \Southern" from the model. This process is continued until there is no gain in AIC by dropping any variables.
In the end, we are left with the following model:
Crime = 1:2 Age + :75 Education + :87 Expenditure + :34 Males
Warning! This does not yet address the question of which variables are causes of crime.
14.7
The Lasso
There is an easier model search method although it addresses
a slightly dierent question. The method, due to Tibshirani, is
called the Lasso. In this section we assume that the covariates have all been rescaled to have the same variance. This
puts each covariate on the same scale. Consider estimating =
(1 ; : : : ; k ) by minimizing the loss function

where > 0. The idea is to minimize the sums of squares but
we include a penalty that gets large if any of the j0 s are large.
The solution b = (b1 ; : : : ; bk ) can be found numerically and
will depend on the choice of . It can be shown that some of
the bj 's will be 0. We interpret this is meaning that the j th is
omitted from the model. Hence, we are doing estimation and
model selection simultaneously. We need to choose a value of
. We can do this by estimating the prediction risk R() as
a function of and choosing to minimze the estimated risk.
For example, we can estimate the risk using leave-one-out crossvalidation.
Example 14.17 Returning to the crime data, Figure 14.3 shows
the results of the lasso. The rst plot shows the leave-one-out
cross-validation score as a function of . The minimum occurs
at = :7. The second plot shows the estimated coeÆcients as a
function of . You can see how some estimated parameters are
zero until gets larger. At = :7, all the bj are non-zero so the
Lasso chooses the full model.

Why is the predicition interval of a dierent form than the
other condence intervals we have seen? The reason is that the
quantity we want to estimate, Y , is not a xed parameter, it
is a random variable. To understand this point better, let =
0 + 1 X and let b = b0 + b1 X . Thus, Yb = b while Y = + .

9. In this question we will take a closer look at the AIC
method. Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn be iid observations. Consider two

N (; 1) for some unknown 2 R :

This is just another way to view the hypothesis testing
problem: H0 : = 0 versus H1 : 6= 0. Let `n () be
the log-likelihood function. The AIC score for a model is
the log-likelihood at the mle minus the number of parameters. (Some people multiply this score by 2 but that is
irrelevant.) Thus, the AIC score for M0 is AIC0 = `n (0)
and the AIC score for M1 is AIC1 = `n (b) 1. Suppose
we choose the model with the highest AIC score. Let Jn
denote the selected model:
0 > AIC1
Jn = 01 ifif AIC
AIC1 > AIC0 :

Now compute limn!1 P (Jn = 0) when 6= 0.
(b) The fact that limn!1 P (Jn = 0) 6= 1 when = 0 is
why some people say that AIC \overts." But this is not
quite true as we shall now see. Let (x) denote a Normal
density function with mean and variance 1. Dene

REMARK: If you are feeling ambitious, repeat this analysis for BIC which is the log-likelihood minus (p=2) log n
where p is the number of parameters and n is sample size.

call that if x and y are vectors then x y = j xj yj . If A is a
matrix then det(A) denotes the determinant of A, AT denotes
the transpose of A and A denotes the the inverse of A (if the
inverse exists). The trace of a square matrix A { denoted by
tr(A) { is the sum of its diagonal elements. The trace satises tr(AB ) = tr(BA) and tr(A) + tr(B ). Also, tr(a) = a if a
is a scalar (i.e. a real number). A matrix is positive denite if
xT x > 0 for all non-zero vectors x. If a matrix is symmetric and positive denite, there exists a matrix = { called the
square root of { with the following properties:

That Xj Binomial(n; pj ) follows easily. Hence,
E (Xj ) = npj and V (Xj ) = npj (1 pj ). To compute Cov(Xi ; Xj )
we proceed as follows. Notice that Xi + Xj Binomial(n; pi + pj )
and so V (Xi + Xj ) = n(pi + pj )(1 pi pj ). On the other hand,
Proof.
V (Xi + Xj )
= V (Xi) + V (Xj ) + 2Cov(Xi; Xj )
= npi (1 pi) + npj (1 pj ) + 2Cov(Xi; Xj ):
Equating this last expression with n(pi + pj )(1 pi pj ) implies
that Cov(Xi; Xj ) = npi pj . 274

In this chapter we address the following questions:
(1) How do we test if two random variables are independent?
(2) How do we estimate the strength of dependence between two
random variables?
When Y and Z are not independent, we say that they are
or
or
If Y and Z are associated, it does not imply that Y causes Z or that Z causes Y . If
Y does cause Z then changing Y will change the distribution of
Z , otherwise it will not change the distribution of Z .
For example, quitting smoking Y will reduce your probability of heart disease Z . In this case Y does cause Z . As another
example, owning a TV Y is associated with having a lower incidence of starvation Z . This is because if you own a TV you
are less likely to live in an impoverished nation. But giving a
starving person will not cause them to stop being hungry. In
this case, Y and Z are associated but the relationship is not
causal.
dependent associated related.
Recall that we write
Y q Z to mean that
Y and Z are independent.

We defer detailed discussion of the important question of causation until a later chapter.
16.1
Two Binary Variables
Suppose that Y and Z are both binary. Consider a data set
(Y1 ; Z1 ); : : : ; (Yn ; Zn). Represent the data as a two-by-two table:
Y =0 Y =1
Z = 0 X00
X01
X0
Z = 1 X10
X11
X1
X0
X1 n = X
where the Xij represent counts:
Xij = number of observations for which Y = i and Z = j:
P
The dotted subscripts denote sums. For example, Xi = j Xij .
This is a convention we use throughout the remainder of the
book. Denote the corresponding probabilities by:
Y =0 Y =1
Z = 0 p00
p01 p0
Z = 1 p10
p11 p1
p0
p1
1
where pij = P(Z = i; Y = j ). Let X = (X00 ; X01 ; X10 ; X11 )
denote the vector of counts. Then X Multinomial(n; p) where
p = (p00 ; p01 ; p10 ; p11 ). It is now convenient to introduce two new
parameters.

First we consider the likelihood ratio test. Under H1 , X Multinomial(n; p) and the mle is pb = X=n. Under H0 , we again
have that X Multinomial(n; p) but p is subject to the constraint
pij = pi pj ; j = 0; 1:
This leads to the following test.

Example 16.5 The following data from Johnson and Johnson
(1972) relate tonsillectomy and Hodgkins disease. (The data are
actually from a case-control study; we postpone discussion of
this point until the next section.)

We would like to know if tonsillectomy is related to Hodgkins
disease. The likelihood ratio statistic is T = 14:75 and the pvalue is P(21 > 14:75) = :0001. The 2 statistic is U = 14:96
16.1 Two Binary Variables
283
and the p-value is P(21 > 14:96) = :0001. We reject the null
hypothesis of independence and conclude that tonsillectomy is
associated with Hodgkins disease. This does not mean that tonsillectomies cause Hodgkins disease. Suppose, for example, that
doctors gave tonsillectomies to the most seriosuly ill patients.
Then the assocation between tonsillectomies and Hodgkins disease may be due to the fact that those with tonsillectomies were
the most ill patients and hence more likely to have a serious
disease.
We can also estimate the strength of dependence by estimating the odds ratio and the log-odds ratio .

16.2
Interpreting The Odds Ratios
Suppose event A as probability P (A). The odds of A are dened
as
P (A)
:
odds(A) =
1 P (A)
It follows that
odds(A)
P(A) =
:
1 + odds(A)
Let E be the event that someone is exposed to something
(smoking, radiation, etc) and let D be the event that they get
a disease. The odds of getting the disease given that you are
exposed are
P(D jE )
odds(DjE ) =
1 P(DjE )
and the odds of getting the disease given that you are not exposed are
P(D jE c )
:
odds(DjE c) =
1 P(DjE c)
16.2 Interpreting The Odds Ratios
285
The odds ratio is dened to be
=
odds(DjE )
:
odds(DjE c)
If = 1 then disease probability is the same for exposed and unexposed. This implies that these events are independent. Recall
that the log-odds ratio is dened as = log( ). Independence
corresponds to = 0.
Consider this table of probabilities:
Dc
E c p00
E p10
p0
D
p01 p0
p11 p1
p1 1
Denote the data by
Dc D
E c X00 X01 X0
E X10 X11 X1
X0 X1 X
Now
P (D
jE ) = p p+11p
10
11
and P(DjE c) =
p01
p00 + p01
and so
odds(DjE ) =
and therefore,
p11
p
and odds(DjE c) = 01
p10
p00
=
p11 p00
:
p01 p10
To estimate the parameters, we have to rst consider how the
data were collected. There are three methods.
Multinomial Sampling. We draw a sample from the population and, for each person, record their exposure and disease
status. In this case, X = (X00 ; X01 ; X10 ; X11 ) Multinomial(n; p).
286
16.
We then estimate the probabilities in the table by pbij = Xij =n
and
b = pb11 pb00 = X11 X00 :
pb01 pb10
X01 X10
We get
some exposed and unexposed people and count the number with
disease in each group. Thus,
Prospective Sampling. (Cohort Sampling).
X01
X11
Binomial(X0 ; P (DjE c))
Binomial(X1 ; P (DjE )):
We should really write x0 and x1 instead of X0 and X1 since
in this case, these are xed not random but for notational simplicity I'll keep using capital letters. We can estimate P (DjE )
and P (DjE c) but we cannot estimate all the probabilities in the
table. Still, we can estimate since is a function of P (DjE )
and P (DjE c). Now
X
Pb(DjE ) = 11
X1
and
X
Pb(DjE c) = 01 :
X0
Thus,
b = X11 X00
X01 X10
just as before.
Case-Control (Retrospective) Sampling. Here we get
some diseased and non-diseased people and we observe how
many are exposed. This is much more eÆcient if the disease
is rare. Hence,
X10
X11
Binomial(X0 ; P (E jDc))
Binomial(X1 ; P (E jD)):
From these data we can estimate P(E jD) and P(E jDc). Surprisingly, we can also still estimate . To understand why, note
16.2 Interpreting The Odds Ratios
that
P(E
jD) = p p+11p ;
01
11
1 P(E jD) =
p01
p01 + p11
By a similar argument,
odds(E jDc) =
287
; odds(E jD) =
p11
:
p01
p10
:
p00
Hence,
odds(E jD) p11 p00
=
= :
odds(E jDc) p01 p10
From the data, we form the following estimates:
Pb(E jD) =
Therefore,
X11
X [

E jD) = 11 ; odds(
E jDc) = 10 :

b=
X00 X11

X01 X10
So in all three data collection methods, the estimate of
out to be the same.
turns
It is tempting to try to estimate P(DjE ) P(DjE c). In a
case-control design, this quantity is not estimable. To see this,
we apply Bayes' theorem to get
P(E jD )P(D ) P(E c jD )P(D )
P(D jE ) P(D jE c ) =
:
P(E )
P(E c )
Because of the way we obtained the data, P(D) is not estimable
from the data. However, we can estimate = P(DjE )=P(DjE c),
which is called the

relative risk
rare disease assumption.
Theorem 16.9 Let = P(DjE )=P(DjE c). Then
as P(D) ! 0.

288
16.
Thus, under the rare disease assumption, the relative risk is
approximately the same as the odds ratio and, as we have seen,
we can estimate the ods ratio.
In a randomized experiment, we can interpret a strong association, that is 6= 1, as a causal relationship. In an observational
(non-randomized) study, the association can be due to other
unobserved
variables. We'll discuss causation in
more detail later.

The 2 test statistic is 75.89 with 2 3 = 6 degrees of freedom.
The p-value is P(26 > 75:89) 0. The likelihood ratio test
statistic is 68.30 with 2 3 = 6 degrees of freedom. The p-value
is P(26 > 68:30) 0. Thus there is strong evidence that reponse
to treatment and histological type are associated.
There are a variety of ways to quantify the strength of dependence between two discrete variables Y and Z . Most of them
are not very intuitive. The one we shall use is not standard but
is more interpretable.

(16.13)

The interpretation of Æ is this: if one person makes probability

probability statements without assuming independence, their
probability statements may dier by as much as Æ . Here is a
suggested scale for interpreting Æ :
0 < Æ :01
negligible association
:01 < Æ :05 non-negligible association
:05 < Æ :10 substantial association
Æ > :10
very strong association
A condence interval for Æ can be obtained by bootstrapping.
The steps for bootstrapping are:
16.4 Two Continuous Variables
291
1. Draw X Multinomial(n; pb);
2. Compute pbij ; pbi ; pbj .
3. Compute Æ .
4. Repeat.
Now we use any of the methods we learned earlier for constructing bootstrap condence intervals. However, we should not use
a Wald interval in this case. The reason is that if Y q Z then
Æ = 0 and we are on the boundary of the parameter space. In
this case, the Wald method is not valid.
Example 16.13 Returning to Example 16.11 we nd that Æb = :11.
Using a pivotal bootstrap with 10; 000 bootstrap samples, a 95
per cent condence interval for Æ is (.09,.22). Our conclusion
is that the association between histological type and response is
substantial.
16.4
Two Continuous Variables
Now suppose that Y and Z are both continuous. If we assume
that the joint distribution of Y and Z is bivariate Normal, then
we mesure the dependence between Y and Z by means of the
correaltion coeÆcient . Tests, estimates and condence intervals for in the Normal case are given in the previous chapter.
If we do not assume Normality then we need a nonparametric
method for assessing dependence.
Recall that the correaltion is
E ((X1 1 )(X2 2 ))
=
:

A nonparametric estimator of is the plug-in estimator which
is

16.
which is just the sample correlation. A condence interval can be
constructed using the bootstrap. A test for = 0 can be based
on the Wald test using the bootstrap to estimate the standard
error.
The plug-in approach is useful for large samples. For small
samples, we measure the correlation using the
bS . We simply replace the data by their
ranks { ranking each variable separately { then we compute the
correaltion coeÆcient of the ranks. To test the null hypothesis
that S = 0 we need the distribution of bS under the null hypothesis. This can be obtained easily by simulation. We x the
ranks of the rst variable as 1; 2; : : : ; n. The ranks of the second
variable are chosen at random from the set of n! possible orderings. Then we compute the correlation. This is repeated many
times and the resulting distribution P0 is the null distribution of
bS . The p-value for the test is P0 (jRj > jbS j) where R is drawn
from the null distribution P0 .
correaltion coeÆcient
Spearman rank
Example 16.14 The following data (Snedecor and Cochran, 1980,
p. 191) are systolic blood pressure X1 and are diastolic blood
pressure X2 in millimeters:
X1 100 105 110 110 120 120 125 130 130 150 170 195
X2 65 65 75 70 78 80 75 82 80 90 95 90
The sample correlation is b = :88. The bootstrap standard
error is .046 and the Wald test statistic is :88=:046 = 19:23.
The p-value is near 0 giving strong evidence that the correlation
is not 0. The 95 per cent pivotal bootstrap condence interval is
(.78,.94). Because the sample size is small, consider Spearman's
rank correlation. In ranking the data, we will use average ranks
if there are ties. So if the third and fourth lowest numbers are
the same, they each get rank 3.5. The ranks of the data are:
16.5 One Continuous Variable and One Discrete
293
X1 1 2 3.5 3.5 5.5 5.5 7 8.5 8.5 10 11 12
X2 1.5 1.5 4.5 3 6 7.5 4.5 9 7.5 10.5 12 10.5
The rank correlation is bS = :94 and the p-value for testing the
null hypothesis that there is no correaltion is P0 (jRj > :94) 0
which is was obtained by simulation.
16.5
One Continuous Variable and One Discrete
Suppose that Y 2 f1; : : : ; I g is discrete and Z is continuous.

Undirected Graphs and Conditional
Independence
Graphical models are a class of multivariate statistical models
that are useful for representing independence relations. They are
also useful develop parsimonious models for multivariate data.
To see why parsimonious models are useful in the multivariate
setting, consider the problem of estimating the joint distribution of several discrete random variables. Two binary variables
Y1 and Y2 can be represented as a two-by-two table which corresponds to a multinomial with four categories. Similarly, k binary
variables Y1 ; : : : ; Y correspond to a multinomial with N = 2
categories. When k is even moderately large, N = 2 will be
huge. It can be shown in that case that the mle is a poor estimator. The reason is that the data are sparse: there are not
enough data to estimate so many parameters. Graphical models often require fewer parameters and may lead to estimators
with smaller risk. There are two main types of graphical models:
undirected and directed. Here, we introduce undirected graphs.
We'll discuss directed graphs later.

X , Y and Z be discrete random variables. We say that X and Y are conditionally independent given Z , written X q Y j Z , if
P(X
=
x; Y
=
j
y Z
=
z)
=
P(X = xjZ = z )P(Y
=

(17.1)
for all x; y; z . If X , Y and Z are continuous random variables, we say that X and Y are conditionally independent
given Z if
fX;Y
for all x,
y
j (x; y jz ) = f j (xjz )f j (y jz ):

and z .
Intuitively, this means that, once you know Z , Y provides no
The conditional independence relation satises some basic
properties.

Undirected Graphs
An undirected graph G = (V; E ) has a nite set V of vertices (or nodes) and a set E of edges (or arcs) consisting of
pairs of vertices. The vertices correspond to random variables
X; Y; Z; : : : and edges are written as unordered pairs. For example, (X; Y ) 2 E means that X and Y are joined by an edge.
An example of a graph is in Figure 17.1.
Two vertices are adjacent, written X Y , if there is an edge
between them. In Figure 17.1, X and Y are adjacent but X and
Z are not adjacent. A sequence X0 ; : : : ; X
is called a path if
X 1 X for each i. In Figure 17.1, X; Y; Z is a path. A graph
is complete if there is an edge between every pair of vertices.
A subset U V of vertices together with their edges is called a
n

subgraph.
If
are three distinct subsets if V , we say that C
separates A and B if every path from a variable in A to a
variable in B intersects a variable in C . In Figure 17.2 fY; W g
and fZ g are separated by fX g. Also, W and Z are separated
by fX; Y g.

relations. How can we gure out what they are? Fortunately, we
can read these other conditional independence relations directly
from the graph as well, as is explained in the next theorem.
Theorem 17.3 Let
G=(
) be a pairwise Markov graph for
a distribution P. Let A; B and C be distinct subsets of V such
that C separates A and B . Then A q B jC .
V; E
Remark 17.4 If A and B are not connected (i.e. there is no path
from A to B ) then we may regard A and B as being separated
by the empty set. Then Theorem 17.3 implies that A q B .
The independence condition in Theorem 17.3 is called the
global Markov property. We thus see that the pairwise and
global Markov properties are equivalent. Let us state this more
precisely. Given a graph G , let Mpair (G ) be the set of distributions which satisfy the pairwise Markov property: thus P 2
Mpair (G ) if, under P , X q Y jrest if and only if there is no edge
between X and Y . Let Mglobal (G ) be the set of distributions
which satisfy the global Markov property: thus P 2 Mpair (G ) if,
under P, A q B jC if and only if C separates A and B .
Theorem 17.5 Let
G be a graph. Then,
Mpair
(G ) = Mglobal (G ).
This theorem allows us to construct graphs using the simpler
pairwise property and then we can deduce other independence
relations using the global Markov property. Think how hard this
would be to do algebraically. Returning to 17.6, we now see that
X q Z jY and Y q W jZ .

Fitting Graphs to Data
Given a data set, how do we nd a graphical model that ts
the data. Some authors have devoted whole books to this subject. We will only treat the discrete case and we will consider a
method based on log-linear models which are the subject of
the next chapter.

Loglinear Models
In this chapter we study loglinear models which are useful for
modelling multivariate discrete data. There is a strong connection between loglinear models and undirected graphs. Parts of
this Chapter draw on the material in Whittaker (1990).
18.1
The Loglinear Model
Let X = (X1 ; : : : ; Xm) be a random vector with probability
function
f (x) = P(X
= x) = P(X1 = x1; : : : ; Xm = xm )
where x = (x1; : : : ; xm ). Let rj be the number of values that
Xj takes. Without loss of generality, we can assume that Xj 2
f0; 1; : : : ; rj 1g. Suppose now that we have n such random vectors. We can think of the data as a sample from a Multinomial
with N = r1 r2 rm categories. The data can be represented as counts in a r1 r2 rm table. Let p = (p1; : : : ; pN )
denote the multinomial parameter.

Loglinear Models
Let S = f1; : : : ; mg. Given a vector x = (x1 ; : : : ; xm ) and a
subset A S , let xA = (xj : j 2 A). For example, if A = f1; 3g
then xA = (x1; x3 ).
Theorem 18.1 The joint probability function f (x) of a single
random vector X = (X1 ; : : : ; Xm ) can be written as
X
log f (x) =
(18.1)
A (x)
AS
where the sum is over all subsets A of S
's satisfy the following conditions:
= f1; : : : ; mg and the
1. ; (x) is a constant;
2. For every A S ,
the rest of the x0j s.
A
(x) is only a function of xA and not
3. If i 2 A and xi = 0, then
(x) = 0.
The formula in equation (18.1) is called the log-linear expansion of f . Note that this is the probability function for a
single draw. Each A (x) will depend on some unknown parameters A. Let = (A : A S ) be the set of all these parameters.
We will write f (x) = f (x; ) when we want to estimate the dependence on the unknown parameters .
In terms of the multinomial, the parameter space is
P=
n
A
p = (p1 ; : : : ; pN ) : pj
0;
N
X
j =1

o

This is an N 1 dimensional space. In the log-linear represenation, the parameter space is
n
o
= = (1 ; : : : ; N ) : = (p); p 2 P
where (p) is the set of values associated with p. The set is
a N 1 dimensinal surface in R N . We can always go back and
forth betwee the two parameterizations we can write = (p)
and p = p( ).
18.1 The Loglinear Model
Example 18.2 Let X
311
Bernoulli(p) where 0 < p < 1. We can
write the probability mass function for X as
f (x) = px (1
p)1
x
= px1 p12
for x = 0; 1, where p1 = p and p2 = 1
x
p. Hence,
log f (x) = ; (x) + 1 (x)
where
; (x)
= log(p2) p1
1 (x) = x log p :
2
Notice that ; (x) is a constant (as a function of x) and 1 (x) =
0 when x = 0. Thus the three conditions of the Theorem hold.
The loglinear parameters are
0 = log(p2 ); 1 = log
p1
:
p2
The original, multinomial parameter space is P = f(p1 ; p2 )
pj 0; p1 + p2 = 1g. The log-linear parameter space is
= f(0 ; 1) 2 R 2 :
e0 +1 + e0
:
= 1:g
Given (p1 ; p2 ) we can solve for (0 ; 1 ). Conversely, given (0 ; 1 )
we can solve for (p1 ; p2 ). Example 18.3 Let X
= (X1; X2) where X1 2 f0; 1g and X2 2
f0; 1; 2g. The joint distribution of n such random vectors is a
multinomial with 6 categories. The multinomial parameters can
be written as a 2-by-3 table as follows:
multinomial
x2
0 1 2
x1 0
p00 p01 p02

p10 p11 p12

C10 C11 C12
For x = (x1 ; x2 ), the log-linear expansion takes the form
log f (x) = ; (x) + 1 (x) + 2 (x) +
12 (x)
where
; (x)
= log p00 p10

The next Theorem gives an easy way to check for conditional
independence in a loglinear model.
Theorem 18.4 Let (Xa ; Xb ; Xc) be a partition of a vectors (X1 ; : : : ; Xm ).
Then Xb q Xc jXa if and only if all the -terms in the log-linear
expansion that have at least one coordinate in b and one coordinate in c are 0.
To prove this Theorem, we will use the following Lemma
whose proof follows easily from the denition of conditional independence.

follows by reversing the argument. 18.2
Graphical Log-Linear Models
A log-linear model is graphical if missing terms correspond
only to conditional independence constraints.
Denition 18.6 Let log f (x) =
P
AS
A
(x) be a log-linear
model. Then f is graphical if all -terms are non-zero
except for any pair of coordinates not in the edge set for
some graph G . In other words, A (x) = 0 if and only if
fi; j g A and (i; j ) is not an edge.
Here is way to think about the denition above:
If you can add a term to the model and the graph does
not change, then the model is not graphical.
Example 18.7 Consider the graph in Figure 18.1.

FIGURE 18.1. Graph for Example 18.7.
Let's see why this model is graphical. The edge (1; 5) is missing
in the graph. Hence any term containing that pair of indices is
omitted from the model. For example,
15 ;
125 ;
135 ;
145 ;
1235 ;
1245 ;
1345 ;
12345
are all omitted. Similarly, the edge (2; 4) is missing and hence
24 ;
124 ;
234 ;
245 ;
1234 ;
1245 ;
2345 ;
12345
are all omitted. There are other missing edges as well. You can
check that the model omits all the corresponding terms. Now
consider the model
log f (x) =
+
; (x) + 1 (x) + 2 (x) + 3 (x) + 4 (x) + 5 (x)
12 (x) + 23 (x) + 25 (x) + 34 (x) + 35 (x) + 45 (x):
This is the same model except that the three way interactions
were removed. If we draw a graph for this model, we will get the
same graph. For example, no terms contain (1; 5) so we omit
the edge between X1 and X5 . But this is not graphical since it has
extra terms omitted. The independencies and graphs for the two
models are the same but the latter model has other constraints
besides conditional independence constraints. This is not a bad
18.3 Hierarchical Log-Linear Models
315
thing. It just means that if we are only concerned about presence
or absence of conditional independences, then we need not consider such a model. The presence of the three-way interaction
235 means that the strength of association between X2 and X3
varies as a function of X5 . Its absence indicates that this is not
so. 18.3
Hierarchical Log-Linear Models
There is a set of log-linear models that is larger than the set of
graphical models and that are used quite a bit. These are the
hierarchical log-linear models.
Denition 18.8 A log-linear model is hierarchical if
0 and a t implies that
t
= 0.
a
=
Lemma 18.9 A graphical model is hierarchical but the reverse
need not be true.
Example 18.10 Let
log f (x) = ; (x) + 1(x) + 2 (x) + 3 (x) +
12 (x) + 13 (x):
The model is hierarchical; its graph is given in Figure 18.2. The
model is graphical because all terms involving (1,3) are omitted.
It is also hierarchical. Example 18.11 Let
log f (x) = ; (x)+ 1 (x)+ 2 (x)+ 3 (x)+ 12 (x)+ 13 (x)+ 23 (x):
The model is hierarchical. It is not graphical. The graph corresponding to this model is complete; see Figure 18.3. It is not
graphical because 123 (x) = 0 which does not correspond to any
pairwise conditional independence. 316

The graph corresponding is in Figure 18.4. This model is not
hierarchical since 2 = 0 but 12 is not. Since it is not hierarchical, it is not graphical either. 18.4
Model Generators
Hierarchical models can be written succinctly using generators. This is most easily explained by example. Suppose that
X = (X1 ; X2 ; X3 ). Then, M = 1:2 + 1:3 stands for
log f =
; + 1 + 2 + 3 + 12 + 13 :
The formula M = 1:2+1:3 says: \include 12 and 13 ." We have
to also include the lower order terms or it won't be hierarchical.
The generator M = 1:2:3 is the saturated model
log f =
; + 1 + 2 + 3 + 12 + 13 + 23 + 123 :
The saturated models corresponds to tting an unconstrained
multinomial. Consider M = 1 + 2 + 3 which means
log f =
; + 1 + 2 + 3:

This is the mutual independence model. Finally, consider M =

log f =

This model makes X3 jX2 = x2 ; X1 = x1 a uniform distribution.
18.5
Lattices
Hierarchical models can be organized into something called a
lattice. This is the set of all hierarchical models partially ordered by inclusion. The set of all hierarchical models for two
variables can be illustrated as in Figure 18.5.
M = 1:2 is the saturated model, M = 1 + 2 is the independence model, M = 1 is independence plus X2jX1 is uniform,
M = 2 is independence plus X1 jX2 is uniform, M = 0 is the
uniform distribution.
The lattice of trivariate models is shown in gure 18.6.

numerically. The model with all possible -terms is called the
saturated model. We can also t any sub-model which corresponds to setting some subset of terms to 0.
Denition 18.13 For any submodel M , dene the deviance
dev(M ) by

dierence in the number of parameters between the saturated
model and M .
One way to nd a good model is to use the deviance to test
every sub-model. Every model that is not rejected by this test is
then considered a plausible model. However, this is not a good
strategy for two reasons. First, we will end up doing many tests
which means that there is ample opportunity for making Type I
and Type II errors. Second, we will end up using models where
we failed to reject H0. But we might fail to reject H0 due to low
power. The result is that we end up with a bad model just due
to low power.
There are many model searching strategies. A common approach is to use some form of penalized likelihood. One version
of penalized is the AIC that we used in regression. For any model

estimated probability function obtained by using the maximum

Notice that D(f; fb) = c A(f; fb) where c = x f (x) log f (x)
deos not depend on fb and
A(f; fb) =
X
x
f (x) log fb(x):
Thus, minimizing the risk is equivalent to maximizing a(f; fb) E (A(f; fb)).
It is tempting to estimate a(f; fb) by Px fb(x) log fb(x) but,
just as the training error in regression is a highly
P bbiased estimate of prediction risk, it is also the case that x f (x) log fb(x)
is a highly biased estimate of a(f; fb). In fact, the bias is approximately equal to jMj j. Thus:
Theorem 18.15 AIC (Mj ) is an approximately unbiased estimate
of a(f; fb).
After nding a \best model" this way we can draw the corresponding graph. We can also check the overall t of the selected
model using the deviance as described above.

the t of this model, we compute the deviance of M which is
0.6. The appropriate 2 has 8 6 = 2 degrees of freedom. The

Causal Inference
In this Chapter we discuss causation. Roughly speaking, the
statement \X causes Y " means that changing the value of X
will change the distribution of Y . When X causes Y , X and Y
will be associated but the reverse is not, in general, true. Association does not necessarily imply causation. We will consider two
frameworks for discussing causation. The rst uses the notation
of counterfactual random variables. The second, presented in
the next Chapter, uses directed acyclic graphs.
19.1
The Counterfactual Model
Suppose that X is a binary treatment variable where X = 1
means \treated" and where X = 0 means \not treated." We are
using the word \treatment" in a very broad sense: treatment
might refer to a medication or something like smoking. An alternative to \treated/not treated" is \exposed/not exposed" but
we shall use the former.
328
19. Causal Inference
Let Y be some outcome variable such as presence or absence of
disease. To distinguish the statement \X is associated Y " from
the statement \X causes Y " we need to enrich our probabilistic
vocabulary. We will decompose the response Y into a more negrained object.
We introduce two new random variables (C0 ; C1 ), called potential outcomes with the following interpretation: C0 is the
outcome if the subject is not treated (X = 0) and C1 is the
outcome if the subject is treated (X = 1). Hence,
Y=
C0 if X = 0
C1 if X = 1:
We can express the relationship between Y and (C0 ; C1 ) more
succintly by
Y = CX :
(19.1)
This equation is called the consistency relationship.
Here is a toy data set to make the idea clear:

The asterisks denote unobserved values. When X = 0 we don't
observe C1 in which case we say that C1 is a counterfactual
since it is the outcome you would have had if, counter to the
fact, you had been treated (X = 1). Similarly, when X = 1 we
don't observe C0 and we say that C0 is counterfactual.
Notice that there are four types of subjects:

329
Type
C0 C1
Survivors
1 1
Responders
0 1
Anti-repsonders 1 0
Doomed
0 0
Think of the potential outcomes (C0 ; C1 ) as hidden variables
that contain all the relavent information about the subject.
Dene the average causal eect or average treatment
eect to be
= E (C1 ) E (C0 ):
(19.2)
The parameter has the following interpretation: is the mean
if everyone were treated (X = 1) minus the mean if everyone
were not treated (X = 0). There are other ways of measuring
the causal eect. For example, if C0 and C1 are binary, we dene
the causal odds ratio
P(C1 = 1)
P(C1 = 0)
1)
PP((CC0 == 0)
0
and the causal relative risk
P(C1 = 1)
:
P(C0 = 1)
The main ideas will be the same whatever causal eect we use.
For simplicity, we shall work with the average causal eect .
Dene the association to be
= E (Y jX = 1)
E (Y
jX = 0):
(19.3)
Again, we could use odds ratios or other summaries if we wish.
19.1 (Association is not equal to Causation) In
general, 6= .

Thus the average causal eect is 0. The observed data are X 's

Hence, 6= .
To add some intutition to this example, imagine that the outcome variable is 1 if \healthy" and 0 if \sick". Suppose that
X = 0 means that the subject does not take vitamin C and that
X = 1 means that the subject does take vitamin C. Vitamin
C has no causal eect since C0 = C1 . In this example there
are two types of people: healthy people (C0 ; C1 ) = (1; 1) and
unhealthy people (C0 ; C1 ) = (0; 0). Healthy people tend to take
vitamin C while unhealty people don't. It is this association between (C0 ; C1 ) and X that creates an association between X and
Y . If we only had data on X and Y we would conclude that X
19.1 The Counterfactual Model
331
and Y are associated. Suppose we wrongly interpret this causally
and conclude that vitamin C prevents illness. Next we might encourage everyone to take vitamin C. If most people comply the
population will look something like this:

Now = (4=7) (0=1) = 4=7. We see that went down from 1
to 4/7. Of course, the causal eect never changed but the naive
observer who does not distinguish association and causation will
instead of better. In the last example, = 0 and = 1. It is not hard to create
examples in which > 0 and yet < 0. The fact that the
association and causal eects can have dierent signs is very
confusing to many people including well educated statisticians.
The example makes it clear that, in general, we cannot use the
association to estimate the causal eect . The reason that 6= is that (C0 ; C1 ) was not independent of X . That is, treatment
assigment was not independent of person type.
Can we ever estimate the causal eect? The answer is: sometimes. In particular, random asigment to treatment makes it
possible to estimate .
19.3 Suppose we randomly assign subjects to treatment and that P(X = 0) > 0 and P(X = 1) > 0. Then = .
Hence, any consistent estimator of is a consistent estimator

since Y = CX
The consistency follows from the law of large numbers. If Z is a covariate, we dene the conditional causal eect
by
z = E (C1 jZ = z )
E (C0
jZ = z):
For example, if Z denotes gender with values Z = 0 (women)
and Z = 1 (men), then 0 is the causal eect among women and
1 is the causal eect among men. In a randomized experiment,
z = E (Y jX = 1; Z = z ) E (Y jX = 0; Z = z ) and we can
estimate the conditional causal eect using appropriate sample
averages.

Beyond Binary Treatments
Let us now generalize beyond the binary case. Suppose that
X 2 X . For example, X could be the dose of a drug in which
case X 2 R . The counterfactual vector (C0 ; C1 ) now becomes
the counterfactual process
fC (x) : x 2 Xg
(19.4)
where C (x) is the outcome a subject would have if he received
dose x. The observed reponse is given by the consistency relation
Y
C (X ):
(19.5)
See Figure 19.1. The causal regression function is
(x) = E (C (x)):
(19.6)
The regression function, which measures association, is r(x) =
E (Y jX = x).
19.4 In general, (x) 6= r(x). However, when X is
randomly assigned, (x) = r(x).
Theorem
An example in which (x) is constant but r(x)
is not constant is shown in Figure 19.2. The gure shows the
counterfactuals processes for four subjects. The dots represent

The dotted line represents the regression r(x) = E (Y jX = x).
Although there is no causal eect, there is an association since
the regression curve r(x) is not constant. 19.3
Observational Studies and Confounding
A study in which treatment (or exposure) is not randomly assigned, is called an observational study. In these studies, subjects select their own value of the exposure X . Many of the
As we saw, association and causation could in general be quite
dierent. This descrepancy occurs in non-randomized studies
because the potential outcome C is not independent of treatment X . However, suppose we could nd groupings of subjects
such that, within groups, X and fC (x) : x 2 Xg are independent. This would happen if the subjects are very similar within
groups. For example, suppose we nd people who are very similar in age, gender, educational background and ethnic background. Among these people we might feel it is reasonable to
assume that the choice of X is essentially random. These other
variables are called confounding variables. If we denote these
other variables collectively as Z , then we can express this idea
by saying that
fC (x) : x 2 Xg q X jZ:
(19.7)
Equation (19.7) means that, within groups of Z , the choice of
treatment X does not depend on type, as represented by fC (x) :
A more precise definition of confounding is given in the
next Chapter.

is no unmeasured confounding.
Theorem
19.6 Suppose that (19.7) holds. Then,

jX = x; Z = z)dFZ (z)dz:

If rb(x; z ) is a consistent estimate of the regression function E (Y jX =
x; Z = z ), then a consistent estimate of (x) is
n
b(x) = 1 X rb(x; Zi):
n i=1
In particular, if r(x; z ) = 0 + 1 x + 2 z is linear, then a consistent estimate of (x) is
b(x) = b0 + b1 x + b2 Z n
(19.9)
where (b0 ; b1 ; b2 ) are the least squares estimators.
It is useful to compare equation R(19.8) to E (Y jX =
x) which can be written as E (Y jX = x) = E (Y jX = x; Z =
z )dFZ jX (z jx).
Remark 19.7
Epidemiologists call (19.8) the adjusted treatment eect.
The process of computing adjusted treatment eects is called
adjusting (or controlling) for confounding. The selection
of what confounders Z to measure and control for requires scientic insight. Even after adjusting for confounders, we cannot
be sure that there are not other confounding variables that we
missed. This is why observational studies must be treated with
healthy skepticism. Results from observational studies start to
become believable when: (i) the results are replicated in many
studies, (ii) each of the studies controlled for plausible confounding variables, (iii) there is a plausible scientic explanation for
the existence of a causal relationship.
338
19. Causal Inference
A good example is smoking and cancer. Numerous studies
have shown a relationship between smoking and cancer even after adjusting for many confouding variables. Moreover, in laboratory studies, smoking has been shown to damage lung cells. Finally, a causal link between smoking and cancer has been found
in randomized animal studies. It is this collection of evidence
over many years that makes this a convincing case. One single
observational study is not, by itself, strong evidence. Remember
that when you read the newspaper.

Simpson's paradox is a puzzling phenomenon that is dicussed in
most statistics texts. Unfortunately, it is explained incorrectly in
most statistics texts. The reason is that it is nearly impossible to
explain the paradox without using counterfactuals (or directed
acyclic graphs).
Let X be a binary treatment variable, Y a binary outcome
and Z a third binary variable such as gender. Suppose the joint
distribution of X; Y; Z is
X=1

We might naively interpret this to mean that the treatment

Mathematical Statement
P(Y = 1jX = 1) < P(Y = 1jX = 0)
P(Y = 1jX = 1; Z = 1) > P(Y = 1jX = 0; Z = 1)
P(Y = 1jX = 1; Z = 0) > P(Y = 1jX = 0; Z = 0)
English Statement?
treatment is harmful
treatment is benecial to men
treatment is benecial to women
Clearly, something is amiss. There can't be a treatment which
is good for men, good for women but bad overall. This is nonsense. The problem is with the set of English statements in the
table. Our translation from math into english is specious.
The inequality P(Y = 1jX = 1) < P(Y = 1jX =
0) does not mean that treatment is harmful.
The phrase \treatment is harmful" should be written mathematically as P(C1 = 1) < P(C0 = 1). The phrase \treatment is
harmful for men" should be written P(C1 = 1jZ = 1) < P(C0 =
1jZ = 1). The three mathematical statements in the table are
not at all contradictory. It is only the translation into English
that is wrong.
Let us now show that a real Simpson's paradox cannot happen, that is, there cannot be a treatment that is benecial for
men and women but harmful overall. Suppose that treatment is
benecial for both sexes. Then
j
P(C1 = 1 Z = z )
> P(C0 = 1jZ = z )
for all z . It then follows that
P(C1 = 1) =

Bibliographic Remarks
The use of potential outcomes to clarify causation is due mainly
to Jerzy Neyman and Don Rubin. Later developments are due
to Jamie Robins, Paul Rosenbaum and others. A parallel development took place in econometrics by various people including
Jim Heckman and Charles Manski. Currently, there are no textbook treatments of causal inference from the potential outcomes
viewpoint.

Directed Graphs
20.1
Introduction
Directed graphs are similar to undirected graphs except that
there are arrows between vertices instead of edges. Like undirected graphs, directed graphs can be used to represent independence relations. They can also be used as an alternative to
counterfactuals to represent causal relationships. Some people
use the phrase Bayesian network to refer to a directed graph
endowed with a probability distribution. This is a poor choice of
terminology. Statistical inference for directed graphs can be performed using frequentist or Bayesian methods so it is misleading
to call them Bayesian networks.
20.2
DAG's
A directed graph G consists of a set of vertices V and an edge
set E of ordered pairs of variables. If (X; Y ) 2 E then there is
an arrow pointing from X to Y . See Figure 20.1.

If an arrow connects two variables X and Y (in either direction) we say that X and Y are adjacent. If there is an arrow
from X to Y then X is a parent of Y and Y is a child of
X . The set of all parents of X is denoted by or (X ). A
directed path from X to Y is a set of vertices beginning with
X , ending with Y such that each pair is connected by an arrow
and all the arrows point in the same direction as follows:
X
X
! ! Y
or X
Y
A sequence of adjacent vertices staring with X and ending with
Y but ignoring the direction of the arrows is called an undirected path. The sequence fX; Y; Z g in Figure 20.1 is an undirected path. X is an ancestor of Y is there is a directed path
from X to Y . We also say that Y is a descendant of X .
A conguration of the form:
X
!Y
Z
is called a collider. A conguration not of that form is called a
non-collider, for example,
X
or
X

20.3 Probability and DAG's
345
A directed path that starts and ends at the same variable is
called a cycle. A directed graph is acyclic if it has no cycles. In
this case we say that the graph is a directed acyclic graph or
DAG. From now on, we only deal with graphs that are DAG's.

More Independence Relations
With undirected graphs, we saw that pairwise independence relations implied other independence relations. Luckily, we were
able to deduce these other relations from the graph. The situation is similar for DAG's. The Markov Condition allows us to
list some independence relations. These relations may logically
imply other other independence relations. Consider the DAG in
Figure 20.4. The Markov Condition implies:
X1 q X2 ;
X2 q fX1 ; X4 g;
X4 q fX2 ; X3 g j X1 ;
X3 q X4 j fX1 ; X2 g;
X5 q fX1 ; X2 g j fX3 ; X4 g
It turns out (but it is not obvious) that these conditions imply
that

How do we nd these extra independence relations? The answer is \d-separation." d-separation can be summarized by three
rules. Consider the four DAG's in Figure 20.5 and the DAG in
Figure 20.6. The rst 3 DAG's in Figure 20.5 are non-colliders.
The DAG in the lower right of Figure 20.5 is a collider. The
DAG in Figure 20.6 is a collider with a descendent.
In what follows, we
implicitly
assume
that P is faithful
to G which means
that P has no
extra independence
relations other than
those logically implied by the Markov
Condition.

The rules of d-separation.
Consider the DAG's in Figures 20.5 and 20.6.
Rule (1). In a non-collider, X and Z are d-connected,
but they are d-separated given Y .
Rule (2). If X and Z collide at Y then X and Z are
d-separated but they are d-connected given Y .
Rule (3). Conditioning on the descendant of a collider
has the same eect as conditioning on the collider. Thus
in Figure 20.6, X and Z are d-separated but they are
d-connected given W .
Here is a more formal denition of d-separation. Let X and Y
be distinct vertices and let W be a set of vertices not containing
X or Y . Then X and Y are d-separated given W if there

exists no undirected path U between X and Y such that (i)
every collider on U has a descendant in W and (ii) no other
vertex on U is in W . If U; V and W are distinct sets of vertices
and U and V are not empty, then U and V are d-separated given
W if for every X 2 U and Y 2 V , X and Y are d-separated
given W . Vertices that are not d-separated are said to be dconnected.
Example 20.6 Consider the DAG in Figure 20.7. From the d-
seperation rules we conclude that:
X and Y are d-separated (given the empty set)
X and Y are d-connected given fS1 ; S2 g
X and Y are d-separated given fS1 ; S2 ; V g
Theorem 20.7 (Spirtes, Glymour and Scheines) Let A, B
and C be disjoint sets of vertices. Then A q B j C if and only
if A and B are d-separated by C .
Example 20.8 The fact that conditioning on a collider creates
dependence might not seem intuitive. Here is a whimsical example from Jordan (2003) that makes this idea more palatable.
Your friend appears to be late for a meeting with you. There
are two explanations: she was abducted by aliens or you forgot
to set your watch ahead one hour for daylight savings time. See
Figure 20.8 Aliens and Watch are blocked by a collider which
implies they are marginally independent. This seems reasonable
would expect these variables to be independent. We would also
expect that P(Aliens = yesjLate = Y es) > P(Aliens = yes);
350
20. Directed Graphs
aliens
watch
late
FIGURE 20.8. Jordan's alien example. Was your friend kidnapped
by aliens or did you forget to set your watch?
learning that your friend is late certainly increases the probability that she was abducted. But when we learn that you forgot to
set your watch properly, we would lower the chance that your
friend was abducted. Hence, P(Aliens = yesjLate = Y es) 6=
P(Aliens = yesjLate = Y es; W atch = no). Thus, Aliens and
Watch are dependent given Late.
Graphs that look dierent may actually imply the same independence relations. If G is a DAG, we let I (G ) denote all the independence statements implied by G . Two DAG's G1 and G2 for
the same variables V are Markov equivalent if I (G1 ) = I (G2 ).
Given a DAG G , let skeleton(G ) denote the undirected graph obtained by replacing the arrows with undirected edges.

and only if (i) skeleton(G1 ) = skeleton(G2 ) and (ii) G1 and G2
have the same colliders.

(20.3)
20.5 Estimation for DAG's

To estimate p(v ) we need to estimate p(x j ) for each i. Think
of the parents of X as one discrete variable Xe with many levels.
For example, suppose that X3 has parents X1 and X2 and that
X1 2 f0; 1; 2g while X2 2 f0; 1g. We can regard the parents X1
and X2 as a single variable Xe3 dened by

It is possible to extend these ideas to continuous random variables as well. For example, we might use some parametric model

where X is the value of X for the ith data point and are the
parameters for the j th conditional density. We can then proceed
using maximum likelihood.
So far, we have assumed that the structure of the DAG is
given. One can also try to estimate the structure of the DAG itself from the data. For example, we could t every possible DAG
using maximum likelihood and use AIC (or some other method)
to choose a DAG. However, there are many possible DAG's so
you would need much data for such a method to be reliable.
Producing a valid, accurate condence set for the DAG structure would require astronomical sample sizes. DAG's are thus
most useful for encoding conditional independence information
rather than discovering it.

Causation Revisited
We discussed causation in Chapter 19 using the idea of counterfactual random variables. A dierent approach to causation
uses DAG's. The two approaches are mathematically equivalent
though they appear to be quite dierent. In Chapter 19, the
extra element we added to clarify causation was the idea of a
counterfactual. In the DAG approach, the extra element is the
idea of intervention. Consider the DAG in Figure 20.9.
The probability function for a distribution consistent with
this DAG has the form p(x; y; z ) = p(x)p(y jx)p(z jx; y ). Here is
pseudo-code for generating from this distribution:

Suppose we repeat this code many times yielding data (x1 ; y1 ; z1 ); : : : ; (x ; y ; z ).

Having set Y = y , how often was Z = z ? To answer, note
that the intervention has changed the joint probability to be
p (x; z ) = p(x)p(z jx; y ):
The answer to our question is given by the marginal distribution
X X
p (z ) =
p (x; z ) =
p(x)p(z jx; y ):
x

We shall denote this as P(Z = z jY := y ) or p(z jY := y ). We call
P(Z = z jY = y ) conditioning by observation or passive
conditioning. We call P(Z = z jY := y ) conditioning by
intervention or active conditioning.
Passive conditioning is used to answer a predictive question
like:
\Given that Joe smokes, what is the probability he will get lung
cancer?"
Active conditioning is used to answer a causal question like:
\If Joe quits smoking, what is the probability he will get lung
cancer?"
Consider a pair (G ; P) where G is a DAG and P is a distribution for the variables V of the DAG. Let p denote the probability
function for P. Consider intervening and xing a variable X to
be equal to x. We represent the intervention by doing two things:
(1) Create a new DAG G by removing all arrows pointing
into X ;
(2) Create a new distribution p (v ) = P(V = v jX := x) by
removing the term p(xj ) from p(v ).

20.6 Causation Revisited
355
The new pair (G ; P ) represents the intervention \set X =
x."
Example 20.13 You may have noticed a correlation between rain
and having a wet lawn, that is, the variable \Rain" is not independent of the variable \Wet Lawn" and hence p (r; w) 6=
p (r)p (w) where R denotes Rain and W denotes Wet Lawn.
Consider the following two DAGS:
R;W
R
W
Rain
! Wet Lawn
Rain
Wet Lawn:
The rst DAG implies that p(w; r) = p(r)p(wjr) while the second implies that p(w; r) = p(w)p(rjw) No matter what the joint
distribution p(w; r) is, both graphs are correct. Both imply that
R and W are not independent. But, intuitively, if we want a
graph to indicate causation, the rst graph is right and the second is wrong. Throwing water on your lawn doesn't cause rain.
The reason we feel the rst is correct while the second is wrong is
because the interventions implied by the rst graph are correct.
Look at the rst graph and form the intervention W = 1 where
1 denotes \wet lawn." Following the rules of intervention, we
break the arrows into W to get the modied graph:
Rain
set
Wet Lawn =1
with distribution p (r) = p(r). Thus P(R = r j W := w) =
P(R = r ) tells us that \wet lawn" does not cause rain.
Suppose we (wrongly) assume that the second graph is the
correct causal graph and form the intervention W = 1 on the
second graph. There are no arrows into W that need to be broken
so the intervention graph is the same as the original graph. Thus
p (r) = p(rjw) which would imply that changing \wet" changes
\rain." Clearly, this is nonsense.
Both are correct probability graphs but only the rst is correct
causally. We know the correct causal graph by using background
knowledge.
356
20. Directed Graphs
Remark 20.14 We could try to learn the correct causal graph
from data but this is dangerous. In fact it is impossible with two
variables. With more than two variables there are methods that
can nd the causal graph under certain assumptions but they are
large sample methods and, furthermore, there is no way to ever
know if the sample size you have is large enough to make the
methods reliable.
We can use DAG's to represent confouding variables. If X is
a treatment and Y is an outcome, a confounding variable Z is
a variable with arrows into both X and Y ; see Figure 20.10. It
is easy to check, using the formalism of interventions, that the
following facts are true.
In a randomized study, the arrow betwen Z and X is broken. In this case, even with Z unobserved (represented by enclosing Z in a circle), the causal relationship between X and
Y is estimable because it can be shown that E (Y jX := x) =
E (Y jX = x) which does not involve the unobserved Z . In
an observational study,
with all confounders observed, we get
R
E (Y jX := x) = E (Y jX = x; Z = z )dF (z ) as in formula
(19.8). If Z is unobserved then we
R cannot estimate the causal
eect because E (Y jX := x) = E (Y jX = x; Z = z )dF (z )
involves the unobserved Z . We can't just use X and Y since in
this case. P(Y = y jX = x) 6= P(Y = y jX := x) which is just
another way of saying that causation is not association.
In fact, we can make a precise connection between DAG's and
counterfactuals as follows. Suppose that X and Y are binary.

Nonparametric Curve Estimation
In this Chapter we discuss nonparametric estimation of probability density functions and regression functions which we refer
to as curve estimation.
In Chapter 8 we saw that it is possible to consistently estimate
a cumulative distribution function F without making any assumptions about F . If we want to estimate a probability density
function f (x) or a regression function r(x) = E (Y jX = x) the
situation is dierent. We cannot estimate these functions consistently without making some smoothness assumptions. Correspondingly, we will perform some sort of smoothing operation
on the data.
A simple example of a density estimator is a histogram,
which we discuss in detail in Section 21.2. To form a histogram
estimator of a density f , we divide the real line to disjoint sets
called bins. The histogram estimator is piecewise constant function where the height of the function is proportional to number
of observations in each bin; see Figure 21.3. The number of bins
is an example of a smoothing parameter. If we smooth too

much (large bins) we get a highly biased estimator while if we
smooth too little (small bins) we get a highly variable estimator.
Much of curve estimation is concerned with trying to optimally
balance variance and bias.
Let g denote an unknown function and let bgn denote an estimator of g. Bear in mind that bgn(x) is a random function
evaluated at a point x. bgn is random because it depends on
the data. Indeed, we could be more explicit and write bgn(x) =
hx (X ; : : : ; Xn ) to show that bgn (x) is a function of the data
X ; : : : ; Xn and that the function could be dierent for each x.
See Figure 21.1.
As a loss function, we will use the integrated squared error
(ISE):

L(g; bgn) = (g (u) bgn(u)) du:

The risk or mean integrated squared error (MISE) is

In summary,
RISK = BIAS + VARIANCE:

(21.6)
When the data are over-smoothed, the bias term is large and
the variance is small. When the data are under-smoothed the opposite is true; see Figure 21.2. This is called the bias-variance
trade-o. Minimizing risk corresponds to balancing bias and
variance.
21.2 Histograms
Let X ; : : : ; Xn be iid on [0; 1] with density f . The restriction
to [0; 1] is not crucial; we can always rescale the data to be on

Example 21.2 Figure 21.3 shows three dierent histograms based
on n = 1; 266 data points from an astronomical sky survey.
Each data point represents the distance from us to a galaxy.
The galaxies lie on a \pencilbeam" pointing directly from the
Earth out into space. Because of the nite speed of light, looking at galaxies farther and farther away corresponds to looking
back in time. Choosing the right number of bins involves nding
a good tradeo between bias and variance. We shall see later
that the top left histogram has too few bins resulting in oversmoothing and too much bias. The bottom left histogram has too
many bins resulting in undersmoothing and too few bins. The
top right histogram is just right. The histogram reveals the presence of clusters of galaxies. Seeing how the size and number of
galaxy clusters varies with time, helps cosmologists understand
the evolution of the universe. The mean and variance of fbn(x) are given in the following

Theorem 21.4 is quite revealing. We see that with an optimally chosen binwidth, the MISE decreases to 0 at rate n = .

n 1 . The slower rate of convergence is the price we pay for being nonparametric. The formula for the optimal binwidth h is
of theoretical interest but it is not useful in practice since it
depends on the unknown function f .
A practical way to choose the binwidth is to estimate the
risk function and minimize over h. Recall that the loss function,
which we now write as a function of h, is
L(h) =

We shall refer to E (J (h)) as the risk,
although it diers from

Theorem
21.6 The cross-validation estimator is nearly unbiased:

E (J (x)):
368
21. Nonparametric Curve Estimation
In principle, we need to recompute the histogram n times to
compute Jb(h). Moreover, this has to be done for all values of h.
Fortunately, there is a shortcut formula.

(21.14)
Example 21.8 We used cross-validation in the astronomy exam-
ple. The cross-validation function is quite at near its minimum. Any m in the range of 73 to 310 is an approximate minimizer but the resulting histogram does not change much over
this range. The histogram in the top right plot in Figure 21.3
was constructed using m = 73 bins. The bottom right plot shows
the estimated risk, or more precisely, Ab, plotted versus the number of bins.
Next we want some sort of condence set for f . Suppose fbn
is a histogram with m bins and binwidth h = 1=m. We cannot
realistically make condence statements about the ne details of
the true density f . Instead, we shall make condence statements
about f at the resolution of the histogram. To this end, dene

Example 21.10 Figure 21.4 shows a 95 per cent condence enve-
lope for the astronomy data. We see that even with over 1,000
data points, there is still substantial uncertainty. 21.3 Kernel Density Estimation
Histograms are discontinuous. Kernel density estimators are
smoother and they converge faster to the true density than histograms.
Let X ; : : : ; Xn denote the observed data, a sample from f .
In this chapter, a kernel is dened
to be anyR smooth funcR
tion K suchR that K (x) 0, K (x) dx = 1, xK (x)dx = 0
and K x K (x)dx > 0. Two examples of kernels are the

controls the amount of smoothing. When h is close to 0, fbn
consists of a set of spikes, one at each data point. The height of
the spikes tends to innity as h ! 0. When h ! 1, fbn tends
to a uniform density.
Example 21.12 Figure 21.6 shows kernel density estimators for
the astronomy data using for three dierent bandwidths. In each
case we used a Gaussian kernel. The properly smoothed kernel
density estimator in the top right panel shows similar structure
as the histogram. However, it is easier to see the clusters in the
kernel estimator. To construct a kernel density estimator, we need to choose
a kernel K and a bandwidth h. It can be shown theoretically
and empirically that the choice of K is not crucial. However, the
choice of bandwidth h is very important. As with the histogram,
we can make a theoretical statement about how the risk of the
estimator depends on the bandwidth.

The second result follows from integrating the squared bias plus

under weak assumptions, there does not exist a nonparametric
estimator that converges faster than n = .
The expression for h depends on the unknown density f
which makes the result of little practical use. As with the histograms, we shall use cross-validation to nd a bandwidth. Thus,
we estimate the risk (up to a constant) by

then cross-validation has let you down. The eye is not a good

sample size required to ensure a relative mean squared error less
than 0.1 at 0 when the density is multivariate normal and the
optimal bandwidth is selected.

21.4 Nonparametric Regression
Consider pairs of points (x ; Y ); : : : ; (xn; Yn) related by
1
1
Yi = r(xi ) + i
(21.35)
where E (i ) = 0 and we are treating the xi 's as xed. In nonparametric regression, we want to estimate the regression function
r(x) = E (Y jX = x).
There are many nonparametric regression estimators. Most
involve estimating r(x) by taking some sort of weighted average
of the Yi's, giving higher weight to those points near x. In particular, the Nadaraya-Watson kernel estimator is dened
by

Example 21.20 Figures 21.8 shows cosmic microwave background
(CMB) data from BOOMERaNG (Nettereld et al. 2001), Maxima (Lee et al. 2001) and DASI (Halverson 2001). The data
consist of n pairs (x1 ; Y1 ); : : : ; (xn ; Yn) where xi is called the
multipole moment and Yi is the estimated power spectrum of
the temperature uctuations. What your seeing are sound waves
in the cosmic microwave background radiation which is the heat,
left over from the big bang. If r(x) denotes the true power spectrum then
Yi = r(xi ) + i
where i is a random error with mean 0. The location and size
of peaks in r(x) provides valuable clues about the behavior of
the early universe. Figure 21.8 shows the t based on crossvalidation as well as an undersmoothed and oversmoothed t.
The cross-validation t shows the presence of three well dened
peaks, as predicted by the physics of the big bang. The procedure for nding condence bands is similar to that
for density estimation. However, we rst need to estimate .
Suppose that the xi's are ordered. Assuming r(x) is smooth, we
have r(xi ) r(xi) 0 and hence

where b is dened in (21.41).
Example 21.21 Figure 21.9 shows a 95 per cent condence enve-
lope for the CMB data. We see that we are highly condence of
the existence and position of the rst peak. We are more uncertain about the second and third peak. At the time of this writing,
more accurate data are becoming available that apparently provide sharper estimates of the second and third peak. The extension to multiple regressors X = (X ; : : : ; Xp) is
straightforward. As with kernel density estimation we just replace the kernel with a multivariate kernel. However, the same
caveats about the curse of dimensionality apply. In some cases,
we might consider putting some restrictions on the regression
function which will then reduce the curse of dimensionality. For
example, additive regression is based on the model
1
Y=
p
X
j =1
rj (Xj ) + :
(21.43)
Now we only need to t p one-dimensional functions. The model
can be enriched by adding various interactions, for example,
Y=

j =1
rj (Xj ) +

rjk (Xj Xk ) + :

of dimensionality and they can be t quickly but they have one
disadvantage: the model is not fully nonparametric. In other
words, the true regression function r(x) may not be of the form
(21.43).
21.5 Appendix: Condence Sets and Bias
The condence bands we computed are not for the density function or regression function but rather, for the smoothed function.
For example, the condence band for a kernel density estimate
with bandwidth h is a band for the function one gets by smoothing the true function with a kernel with the same bandwidth.
Getting a condence set for the true function is complicated for
reasons we now explain.
First, let's review the parametric case. When estimating a
scalar quantity with an estimator b, the usual condence interval is of the form q
bz= sn where b is the maximum likelihood
estimator and sn = V (b) is the estimated standard error of the
estimator. Under standard regularity conditions, b N (; sn)
2

21. Nonparametric Curve Estimation
and
lim P b 2 sn b + 2 sn = 1 :
n!1
But let us take a closer look.
Let bn = E (bn) We know that b N (; sn ) but a more
accurate statement is b N ( + bn ; sn). We usually ignore the
bias term bn in large sample calculations but let's keep track of
it. The coverage of the usual condence interval is
P b

!
z=2
sn
N (bn ; sn)
z=2 z=2
sn

z=2 N

=
b
In a well behaved parametric model, sn is of size n = bn is
of size n . Hence, bn=sn ! 0 so the last displayed probability
statement becomes P( z= N (0; 1) z= ) = 1 . What
makes parametric condence intervals have the right coverage
is the fact that bn=sn ! 0.
The situation is more complicated for kernel methods. Consider estimating a density f (x) at a single point x with a kernel
density estimator. Since fb(x) is a sum if iid random variables,
the central limit theorem implies that
c f (x)

The optimal bandwidth is of the form h = cn = for some
constant c. If we plug h = cn = into (21.46) and(21.47) we
see that b (x)=sn(x) does not tend to 0. Thus, the condence
interval will have coverage less than 1 .

Smoothing Using Orthogonal
Functions
In this Chapter we study a dierent approach to nonparametric
curve estimation based on orthogonal functions. We begin
with a brief introduction to the theory of orthogonal functions.
Then we turn to density estimation and regression.
L2 Spaces
Let v = (v ; v ; v ) denote a three dimensional vector, that is,
a list of three real numbers. Let V denote the set of all such
vectors. If a is a scalar (a number) and v is a vector, we dene
av = (av ; av ; av ). The sum of vectors v and w is dened by
v + w = (v + w ; v + w ; v + w ). The inner
product between
P
two vectors v and w is dened by hv; wi = i viwi. The norm
(or length) of a vector v is dened by

22. Smoothing Using Orthogonal Functions
Two vectors are orthogonal (or perpendicular) if hv; wi = 0.
A set of vectors are orthogonal if each pair in the set is orthogonal. A vector is normal if jjvjj = 1.
Let = (1; 0; 0), = (0; 1; 0), = (0; 0; 1). These vectors
are said to be an orthonormal basis for V since they have the
following properties:
(i) they are orthogonal;
(ii) they are normal;
(iii) they form a basis for V which means that if v 2 V then v
can be written as a linear combination of , , :

For example, if v = (12; 3; 4) then
v = 10:97 + 6:36 + 2:86 :
Now we make the leap from vectors to functions. Basically, we
just replace vectors with functions and sums with integrals. Let
L (a;Rb) denote all functions dened on the interval [a; b] such
that ab f (x) dx < 1:

The coeÆcients ; ; : : : are related to the smoothness of
the function f . To see why, note that if f is smooth, then
its
derivatives will be nite. Thus we expect that, for some k,
R
(f k (x)) dx < 1 where f k is ther k derivative
of f . Now

The only way that

If the function f is smooth then the coecients j will
be small when j is large.
For the rest of this chapter, assume we are using the cosine
basis unless otherwise specied.

The estimator fbn can be negative. If we are interested in

we need our estimate to be a probability density function, we

can truncate the estimate
and then normalize it. That, we take
R
fb = maxffbn (x); 0g= maxffbn(u); 0gdu.
Now let us construct a condence band for f . Suppose we
estimate f using JPorthogonal functions. We are essentially
estimating
fe(x) = Jj j j (x) not the true density f (x) =
P1
j j j (x). Thus, the condence band should be regarded as
a band for fe(x).
Theorem 22.6 An approximate 1 condence band for fe is
(`(x); u(x)) where
`(x) = fbn (x) c; u(x) = fbn (x) + c

Suppose the estimate rb is based on J terms and
b is dened as in equation (22.28). Assume that J < n k + 1.

(22.31)
and k = n=4 is
p from equation (22.28). In the cosine basis, we
may use K = 2.
Example 22.12 Figure 22.5 shows the condence envelope for the
doppler signal. Th rst plot is based on J = 234 (the value of
J that minimizes
the estimated risk). The second is based on
p
J = 45 n. Larger J yields a higher resolution estimator
at the cost of large condence bands. Smaller J yields a lower
resolution estimator but has tighter condence bands. So far, we have assumed that the xi's are of the form f1=n; 2=n; : : : ; 1g.
If the xi's are on interval [a; b] then we can rescale them so that
are in the interval [0; 1]. If the xi 's are not equally spaced the
methods we have discussed still apply so long as the xi 's \ll
out" the interval [0,1] in such a way so as to not be too clumped
together. If we want to treat the xi's as random instead of xed,
then the method needs signicant modications which we shall
not deal with here.

Wavelets
Suppose there is a sharp jump in a regression function f at some
point x but that f is otherwise very smooth. Such a function
f is said to be spatially inhomogeneous. See Figure 22.6 for
an example.
It is hard to estimate f using the methods we have discussed
so far. If we use a cosine basis and only keep low order terms, we
will miss the peak; if we allow higher order terms we will nd
the peak but we will make the rest of the curve very wiggly.
Similar comments apply to kernel regression. If we use a large
bandwidth, then we will smooth out the peak; if we use a small
bandwidth, then we will nd the peak but we will make the rest
of the curve very wiggly.
One way to estimate inhomogeneous functions is to use a more
carefully chosen basis that allows us to place a \blip" in some
small region without adding wiggles elsewhere. In this section,
we describe a special class of bases called wavelets, that are
aimed at xing this problem. Statistical inference suing wavelets
is a large and active area. We will just discuss a few of the main
ideas to get a avor of this approach.
The Haar father wavelet or Haar scaling function is dened by
0x<1
(x) = 10 ifotherwise
(22.32)
:
The mother Haar wavelet is dened by
(x) = 11 ifif 0 < xx 1:;
(22.33)
For any integers j and k dene
j;k (x) = 2j= (2j x k) and j;k (x) = 2j= (2j x k): (22.34)
The function j;k has the same shape as but it has been
rescaled by a factor of 2j= and shifted by a factor of k.

See Figure 22.7 for some examples of Haar wavelets. Notice
that for large j , j;k is a very localized function. This makes it
possible to add a blip to a function in one place without adding
wiggles elsewhere. Increasing j is like looking in a microscope at
increasing degrees of resolution. In technical terms, we say that
wavelets provide a multiresolution analysis of L (0; 1).
Let
Wj = f jk ; k = 0; 1; : : : ; 2j 1g
be the set of rescaled and shifted mother wavelets at resolution
j.

Theorem
22.13 The set of functions

is an orthonormal basis for L2 (0; 1).
It follows from this theorem that we can expand any function
f 2 L (0; 1) in this basis. Because each Wj is itself a set of
functions, we write the expansion as a double sum:

Example 22.14 Figure 22.8 shows the doppler signal, and its resolution J approximation for J = 3; 5 and J = 8. Haar wavelets are localized, meaning that they are zero outside an interval. But they are not smooth. This raises the question of whether there exist smooth, localized wavelets that from
an orthonormal basis. In 1988, Ingrid Daubechie showed that
such wavelets do exist. These smooth wavelets are diÆcult to
describe. They can be constructed numerically but there is no
closed form formual for the smoother wavelets. To keep things
simple, we will continue to use Haar wavelets. For your interest,
gure 22.9 shows an example of a smooth wavelet called the
\symmlet 8."
We can now use wavelets to do density estimation and regression. We shall only discuss the regression problem Yi =
r(xi ) + i where i N (0; 1) and xi = i=n. To simplify the
discussion we assume that n = 2J for some J .
There is one major dierence between estimation using wavelets
instead of a cosine (or polynomial) basis. With the cosine basis,
we used all the terms 1 j J for some J . With wavelets,
we use a method called thresholding where we keep a term in
the function approximation if its coeÆcient is large, otherwise,
we throw we don't use that term. There are many versions of
thresholding. The simplest is called hard, universal thresholding.

The estimate for probably looks strange. It is similar to the
estimate we used for the cosine basis but it is designed to be
insensitive to sharp peaks in the function.
To understand the intuition behind universal thresholding,
consider what happens when there is no signal, that is, when
j;k = 0 for all j and k.

the estimated function using universal thresholding. Of course,
the estimate is not smooth since Haar wavelets are not smooth.
Nonetheless, the estimate is quite accurate. 22.5

23.1 Introduction
The problem of predicting a discrete random variable Y from another random variable X is called classication, supervised
learning, discrimination or pattern recognition.
In more detail, consider iid data (X1 ; Y1 ); : : : ; (Xn ; Yn) where
Xi = (Xi1 ; : : : ; Xid ) 2 X R d
is a d-dimensional vector and Yi takes values in some nite set
Y . A classication rule is a function h : X ! Y . When we
observe a new X , we predict Y to be h(X ).
Example 23.1 Here is a an example with fake data. Figure 23.1
shows 100 data points. The covariate X = (X1 ; X2 ) is 2-dimensional
and the outcome Y 2 Y = f0; 1g. The Y values are indicated on
the plot with the triangles representing Y = 1 and the squares
representing Y = 0. Also shown is a linear classication rule
represented by the solid line. This is a rule of the form
a + b1 x1 + b2 x2 > 0
h(x) = 10 ifotherwise
:
426
23. Classication
Everything above the line is classied as a 0 and everything below
the line is classied as a 1. Example 23.2 The Coronary Risk-Factor Study (CORIS) data
involve 462 males between the ages of 15 and 64 from three rural areas in South Africa (Rousseauw et al 1983, Hastie and
Tibshirani, 1987). The outcome Y is the presence (Y = 1) or
absence (Y = 0) of coronary heart disease. There are 9 covariates: systolic blood pressure, cumulative tobacco (kg), ldl (low
density lipoprotein cholesterol), adiposity, famhist (family history of heart disease), typea (type-A behavior), obesity, alcohol (current alcohol consumption), and age. Figure 23.2 shows
the outcomes and two of the covariates, systolic blood pressure
and tobaco consumption. People with/without heart disease are
coded with triangles and squares. Also shown is a linear decision boundary which we will explain shortly. In this example,
the groups are much harder to tell apart. In fact, 141 people are
misclassied using this classication rule.
At this point, it is worth revisiting the Statistics/Data Mining

First we consider the special case where Y = f0; 1g. Let

other classication rule then L(h ) L(h).
Theorem
The Bayes rule depends on unknown quantities so we need to
use the data to nd some approximation to the Bayes rule. At
the risk of oversimplifying, there are three main approaches:
1. Empirical Risk Minimization. Choose a set of classiers
and nd bh 2 H that minimizes some estimate of L(h).

Now let us generalize to the case where Y takes on more than
two values as follows.
Theorem
23.6 Suppose that Y 2 Y = f1; : : : ; K g. The
optimal rule is

23.3 Gaussian and Linear Classiers
Perhaps the simplest approach to classication is to use the density estimation strategy and assume a parametric model for the
densities. Suppose that Y = f0; 1g and that f0 (x) = f (xjY = 0)
and f1 (x) = f (xjY = 1) are both multivariate Gaussians:
fk (x) =

Thus, X jY = 0 N (0 ; 0 ) and X jY = 1 N (1 ; 1 ).

Theorem 23.7 If X jY = 0 N (0 ; 0 ) and X jY = 1 N (1 ; 1 ), then the Bayes rule is

this procedure is often called quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA). In practice, we use sample estimates of ; 1; 2 ; 0 ; 1

A simplication occurs if we assume that 0 = 0 = . In

which has about the same error rate 143=462 = :31. Including
all the covariates reduces the error rate to .26. In this example,
there is little advantage to QDA over LDA.
Now we generalize to the case where Y takes on more than
two values.
23.9 Suppose that Y 2 f1; : : : ; K g. If fk (x) =
f (xjY = k) is Gaussian, the Bayes rule is

We estimate Æk (x) by by inserting estimates of k , k and k .
There is another version of linear discriminant analysis due to
Fisher. The idea is to rst reduce the dimension of covariates to
one dimension by projecting the data onto a line. Algebraically,
this meansd replacing the covariatePX = (X1 ; : : : ; Xd ) with a
linear combination U = wT X = dj=1 wj Xj . The goal is to
choose the vector w = (w1 ; : : : ; wd ) that \best separates the
data." Then we perform classication with the new covariate Z
We need dene what we mean by separation of the groups.
We would like the two groups to have means that are far apart
relative to their spread. Let j denote the mean of X for Yj
and let be the variance matrix of X . Then E (U jY = j ) =
J E (wT X jY = j ) = wT j and V(U ) = wT w. Dene the separa-

23.4 Linear Regression and Logistic Regression
A more direct approach to classication is to estimate the regression function r(x) = E (Y jX = x) without bothering to estimste
the densities fk . For the rest of this section, we will only consider the case where Y = f0; 1g. Thus, r(x) = P(Y = 1jX = x)
and once we have an estimate rb, we will use the classication
rule
if rb(x) > 21
h(x) = 01 otherwise
(23.22)

The simplest regression model is the linear regression model
Y = r(x) + = 0 +
d

j =1
j Xj + (23.23)
where E () = 0. This model can't be correct since it does not
force Y = 0 or 1. Nonetheless, it can sometimes lead to a decent
classier.

and the model can be written as
Y = X + where = (1 ; : : : ; n )T . The least squares solution b that minimizes RSS can be found by elementary calculus and is given

Now we use (23.22) to classify, where rb(x) = b0 + j bj xj .
It seems sensible to use a regression method that takes into
account that Y 2 f0; 1g. The most common method for doing
so is logistic regression. Recall that the model is

Are surprised by the fact that systolic blood pressure is not
signicant or by the minus sign for the obesity coeÆcient? If
yes, then you are confusing correlation and causation. There
are lots of unobserved confounding variables so the coeÆcients
above cannot be interpreted causally. The fact that blood pressure is not signicant does not mean that blood pressure is not an
important cause of heart disease. It means that it is not an important predictor of heart disease relative to the other variables
in the model. The error rate, using this model for classication,
is .27. The error rate from a linear regression is .26.
We can get a better classier by tting a richer model. For
example we could t
X

logit P (Y = 1jX = x) = 0 + j xj + jk xj xk : (23.25)

More generally, we could add terms of up to order r for some
integer r. Large values of r give a more complicated model which
should t the data better. But there is a bias-variance tradeo
which we'll discuss later.
Example 23.12 If we use model (23.25) for the heart disease data
with r = 2, the error rate is reduced to .22.
23.5 Relationship Between Logistic Regression and LDA
439
The logistic regression model can easily be extended to k
groups but we shall not give the details here.
23.5 Relationship Between Logistic Regression and
LDA
LDA and logistic regression are almost the same thing. If we
assume that each group is Gaussian with the same covariance
matrix then we saw that
P(Y = 1jX = x)

= log 0
( + 1 )T 1 (1 0 ) + xT 1 (1
log
P(Y = 0jX = x)

2 0
0 + T x:
On the other hand, the logistic model is, by assumption,
P(Y = 1jX = x)
= 0 + T x:
log
P(Y = 0jX = x)
These are the same model since they both lead to classication
rules that are linear in x. The dierence is in how we estimate
the parameters.
The joint density of a single observation is f (x; y ) = f (xjy )f (y ) =
f (y jx)f (x). In LDA we estimated the whole joint distribution by
estimating f (xjy ) and f (y ); specically, we estimated fk (x) =
f (xjY = k), 1 = fY (1) and 0 = fY (0). We maximized the
likelihood

23. Classication
Since classication only requires knowing f (y jx), we don't really
need to estimate the whole joint distribution. Here is an analogy:
we can estimate the mean of a distribution with the sample
mean X without bothering to estimate the whole density function. Logistic regression leaves the marginal distribution f (x)
un-specied so it is more nonparametric than LDA.
To summarize: LDA and logistic regression both lead to a
linear classication rule. In LDA we estimate the entire joint
distribution f (x; y ) = f (xjy )f (y ). In logistic regression we only
estimate f (y jx) and we don't bother estimating f (x).
23.6 Density Estimation and Naive Bayes
Recall that the Bayes rule is h(x) = argmaxk k fk (x): If we
can estimate k and fk then we can estimate the Bayes classication rule. Estimating k is easy but what about fk ? We did
this previously by assuming fk was Gaussian. Another strategy
is to estimate fk with some nonparametric density estimator
fbk such as a kernel estimator. But if x = (x1 ; : : : ; xd ) is high
dimensional, nonparametric density estimation is not very reliable. This problem is ameliorated if we assume
that X1 ; : : : ; Xd
Qd
are independent, for then, fk (x1 ; : : : ; xd ) = j =1 fkj (xj ). This
reduces the problem to d one-dimensional density estimation
problems, within each of the k groups. The resulting classier
is called the naive Bayes classier. The assumption that the
components of X are independent is usually wrong yet the resulting classier might still be accurate. Here is a summary of
the steps in the naive Bayes classier:

The naive Bayes classier is especially popular when x is high
dimensional and discrete. In that case, fbkj (xj ) is especially simple.
23.7 Trees
Trees are classication methods that partition the covariate
space X into disjoint pieces and then classify the observations
according to which partition element they fall in. As the name
implies, the classier can be represented as a tree.
For illustration, suppose there are two covariates, X1 = age
and X2 = blood pressure. Figure 23.3 shows a classication tree
using these variables.
The tree is used in the following way. If a subject has Age
50 then we classify him as Y = 1. If a subject has Age < 50
then we check his blood pressure. If blood pressure is < 100

then we classify him as Y = 1, otherwise we classify him as
Y = 0. Figure 23.4 shows the same classier as a partition of
the covariate space.
Here is how a tree is constructed. For simplicity, we focus on
the case in which 2 Y = f0; 1g. First, suppose there is only a
single covariate X . We choose a split point t that divides the
real line into two sets A1 = ( 1; t] and A2 = (t; 1). Let pbs (j )
be the proportion of observations in As such that Yi = j :
pbs (j ) =

This measure of impurity is known as the Gini index. If a
partition element As contains all 0's or all 1's, then s = 0.
Otherwise, s > 0. We choose the split point t to minimize the
impurity. (Other indices of impurity besides can be used besides
the Gini index.)
When there are several covariates, we choose whichever covariate and split that leads to the lowest impurity. This process
is continued until some stopping criterion is met. For example,
we might stop when every partition element has fewer than n0
data points, where n0 is some xed number. The bottom nodes
of the tree are called the leaves. Each leaf is assigned a 0 or 1
depending on whether there are more data points with Y = 0
or Y = 1 in that partition element.
This procedure is easily generalized to the case where Y 2

(23.31)
where pbi (j ) is the proportion of observations in the partition

Example 23.13 Figure 23.5 shows a classication tree for the
heart disease data. The misclassication rate is .21. Suppose we
do the same example but only using two covariates: tobacco and
age. The misclassication rate is then .29. The tree is shown in
Figure 23.6. Because there are only two covariates, we can also
display the tree as a partition of X = R 2 as shown in Figure
23.7. Our description of how to build trees is incomplete. If we keep
splitting until there are few cases in each leaf of the tree, we are
likely to overt the data. We should choose the complexity of
the tree in such a way that the estimated true error rate is low.
In the next section, we discuss estimation of the error rate.

23.8 Assessing Error Rates and Choosing a Good
Classier
How do we choose a good classier? We would like to have a
classier h with a low true error rate L(h). Usually, we can't use
the training error rate Lbn (h) as an estimate of the true error rate
because it is biased downward.
Example 23.14 Consider the heart disease data again. Suppose
we t a sequence logistic regression models. In the rst model we
include one covariate. In the second model we include two covariates and so on. The ninth model includes all the covariates.
We can go even further. Let's also t a tenth model that includes all nine covariates plus the rst covariate squared. Then
we t an eleventh model that includes all nine covariates plus the
rst covariate squared and the second covariate squared. Continuing this way we will get a sequence of 18 classiers of increasing complexity. The solid line in Figure 23.8 shows the observed classication error which steadily decreases as we make
the model more complex. If we keep going, we can make a model
with zero observed classication error. The dotted line shows the
cross-validation estimate of the error rate (to be explained
shortly) which is a better estimate of the true error rate than the
observed classication error. The estimated error decreases for
a while then increases. This is the bias-variance tradeo phenomenon we have seen before. There are many ways to estimate the error rate. We'll consider
two: cross-validation and probability inequalities.
Cross-Validation. The basic idea of cross-validation, which
we have already encountered in curve estmation, is to leave out
some of the data when tting a model. The simplest version of
cross-validation involves randomply splitting the data into two

pieces: the training set T and the validation set V . Often,
about 10 per cent of the data might be set aside as the validation set. The classier h is constructed from the training set.
We then estimate the error by
Lb(h) =
1 X
I (h(Xi ) 6= YI ):
m X 2V
(23.32)
i
where m is the size of the validation set. See Figure 23.9.
Another approach to cross-validation is K-fold cross-validation
which is obtained from the following algorithm.
V
}
23.8 Assessing Error Rates and Choosing a Good Classier
451
K -fold cross-validation.
1. Randomly divide the data into K chunks of approximately
equal size. A common choice is K = 10.
2. For k = 1 to K do the following:
(a) Delete chunk k from the data.
(b) Compute the classier bh(k) from the rest of the data.
(c) Use bh(k) to the predict the data in chunk k. Let Lb(k)
denote the observed error rate.
3. Let
Lb(h)
K
1X
=
Lb :
K k=1 (k)
(23.33)
This is how dotted line in Figure 23.8 was computed. An alternative approach to K-fold cross-validation is to split the data
into two pieces called the training set and the test set. All
the models are t on the training set. The models are then used
to do predictions on the test set and the errors are estimated
from these predictions. When the clasication procedure is time
consuming and there are lots of data, this approach is preferred
to K-fold cross-validation.
Cross-validation can be applied to any classication method.
To apply it to trees, one begins by tting an initial tree. Smaller
trees are obtained by pruning tree, that is removing splits from
the tree. We can do this for trees of various sizes where size refers
to the number of terminal nodes on the tree. Cross-validation is
then used to estimate error rate as a function of tree size.
Example 23.15 Figure 23.10 shows the cross-validation plot for
a classication tree tted to the heart disease data. The error
452
23. Classication
is shown as a function of tree size. Figure 23.11 shows the tree
with the size chosen by minimizing the cross-validation error. . Another approach to estimating the error rate is to nd a condence interval for Lbn (h) using
probability inequalities. This method is useful in the context of
empirical risk minimization.
Let H be a set of classiers, for example, all linear classiers.
Empirical risk minimization means choosing the classier bh 2 H
to minimize the training error Lbn (h), also called the empirical
risk. Thus,

Typically, Ln (h) underestimates the true error rate L(h) because

h was chosen to make Lbn (bh) small. Our goal is to assess how
much underestimation is taking place. Our main tool for this
analysis is Hoeding's inequality. Recall that if X1 ; : : : ; Xn Bernoulli(p), then, for any > 0,

to L(h) by the law of large numbers. We will now establish a
stronger result.

When H is large the condence interval for L(bh) is large.
The more functions there are in H the more likely it is we have

set of linear classiers. To extend our analysis to these cases we
want to be able to say something like

These theorems are only useful if the shatter coeÆcients do
not grow too quickly with n. This is where VC dimension enters.
Denition 23.20 The VC (Vapnik-Chervonenkis) dimen-
sion of a class of sets A is dened as follows. If s(A; n) =
2n for all n set V C (A) = 1. Otherwise, dene V C (A)
to be the largest k for which s(A; n) = 2k .
Thus, the VC-dimension is the size of the largest nite set
F than can be shattered by A meaning that A picks out each
subset of F . If H is a set of classiers we dene V C (H) = V C (A)
where A is the class of sets of the form fx : h(x) = 1g as h
varies in H. The following theorem shows that if A has nite
VC-dimension then the shatter coeÆcients grow as a polynomial
in n.
Theorem
23.21 If A has nite VC-dimension v , then
s(A; n) nv + 1:
A = f( 1; a]; a 2 Rg. The A shatters
ever one point set fxg but it shatters no set of the form fx; y g.
Therefore, V C (A) = 1.
Example 23.23 Let A be the set of closed intervals on the real
line. Then A shatters S = fx; y g but it cannot shatter sets with
3 points. Consider S = fx; y; zT
g where x < y < z. One cannot
nd an interval A such that A S = fx; z g. So, V C (A) = 2.
Example 23.24 Let A be all linear half-spaces on the plane. Any
Example 23.22 Let
three point set (not all on a line) can be shattered. No 4 point
set can be shattered. Consider, for example, 4 points forming a
diamond. Let T be the left and rightmost points. This can't be
picked out. Other congurations can also be seen to be unshatterable. So V C (A) = 3. In general, halfspaces in Rd have VC
dimension d + 1.
458
23. Classication
Example 23.25 Let
A be all rectangles on the plane with sides
parallel to the axes. Any 4 point set can be shattered. Let S be
a 5 point set. There is one point that is not leftmost, rightmost,
uppermost, or lowermost. Let T be all points in S except this
point. Then T can't be picked out. So V C (A) = 4.
23.26 Let x have dimension d and let H be th set of
linear classiers. The VC dimension of H is d +1. Hence, a 1 condence interval for the true error rate is Lb(bh) where

23.9 Support Vector Machines
In this section we consider a class of linear classiers called support vector machines. Throughout this section, we assume
that Y is binary. It will be convenient to label the outcomes as
1 and +1 instead of 0 and 1. A linear classier can then be
written as
h(x) = sign H (x)
where x = (x1 ; : : : ; xd ),
H (x) = a0 +

First, suppose that the data are linearly separable, that
is, there exists a hyperplane that perfectly separates the two
classes.
23.9 Support Vector Machines
459
Lemma 23.27 The data can be separated by some hyperplane if
P
and only if there exists a hyperplane H (x) = a0 + di=1 ai xi such
that
Yi H (xi ) 1; i = 1; : : : ; n:
(23.39)
Suppose
the data can be separated by a hyperplane
Pd
W (x) = b0 + i=1 bi xi . It follows that there exists some constant
c such that Yi = 1 implies W (Xi ) c and Yi = 1 implies
W (XP
i ) c. Therefore, Yi W (Xi ) c for all i. Let H (x) =
a0 + di=1 ai xi where aj = bj =c. Then Yi H (Xi ) 1 for all i. The
reverse direction is straightforward. Proof.
In the separable case, there will be many separating hyperplanes. How should we choose one? Intuitively, it seems reasonable to choose the hyperplane \furthest" from the data in the
sense that it separates the +1'a and -1's and maximizes the distance to the closest point. This hyperplane is called the maximum margin hyperplane. The margin is the distance to from
the hyperplane to the nearest point. Points on the boundary of
the margin are called support vectors. See Figure 23.12.

23.10 Kernelization
461
There are many software packages that will solve this problem
quickly. If there is no perfect linear classier, then one allows
overlap between the groups by replacing the condition (23.39)
with
Yi H (xi ) 1 i ; i 0; i = 1; : : : ; n:
(23.41)
The variables 1 ; : : : ; n are called slack variables.
We now maximize (23.40) subject to

and

i Yi = 0:
The constant c is a tuning parameter that controls the amount
of overlap.
23.10 Kernelization
There is a trick for improving a computationally simple classier
h called kernelization. The idea is to map the covariate X {
which takes values in X { into a higher dimensional space Z and
apply the classier in the bigger space Z . This can yield a more
exible classier while retaining computationally simplicity.
The standard example of this idea is illustrated in Figure
23.13. The covariate x = (x1 ; x2 ). The Yi 's can be separated
into two groups using an ellipse. Dene a mapping by
p
z = (z1 ; z2 ; z3 ) = (x) = (x21 ; 2x1 x2 ; x22 ):
This maps X = R 2 into Z = R 3 . In the higher dimensional
space Z , the Yi 's are seperable by a linear decision boundary.
In other words, a linear classier in a higher dimenional space
corresponds to a non-linear classier in the original space.

dimensional space can make a complicated decision boundary into a
simpler decision boundary.
23.10 Kernelization
463
There is a potential drawback. If we signicantly expand the
dimension of the problem, we might increase the computational
burden. For example, x has dimension d = 256 and we wanted
to use all fourth order terms, then z = (x) has dimension
183,181,376. What saves us is two observations. First, many
classiers do not require that we know the values of the individual points but, rather, just the inner product between pairs
of points. Second, notice in our example that the inner product
in Z can be written
hz; zei
= h(x); (xe)i
= x21 xe21 + 2x1 xe1 x2 xe2 + x22 xe22
= (hx; xei)2
k(x; xe):
Thus, we can compute hz; zei without ever computing Zi =
(Xi ).
To summarize, kernelization means involves nding a mapping : X ! Z and a classier such that:
1.
Z has higher dimension than X
of classiers.
and so leads a richer set
2. The classier only requires computing inner products.
3. There is a function K , called a kernel, such that h(x); (xe)i =
K (x; xe).
4. Everywhere the term hx; xei appears in the algorithm, replace it with K (x; xe).
In fact, we never need to construct the mapping at all.
We only need to specify a kernel k(x; xe) that corresponds to
h(x); (xe)i for some . This raises an interesting question: given
a function of two variables K (x; y ), does there exist a function
(x) such that K (x; y ) = h(x); (y )i. The answer is provided
464
23. Classication
by Mercer's theorem which says, roughly, that if K is positive
denite { meaning that
Z Z
K (x; y )f (x)f (y )dxdy 0
for square integrable functions f { then such a exists. Examples of commonly used kernels are:

polynomial K (x; xe) = hx; xei + a
sigmoid K (x; xe) = tanh(
ahx; xei + b)

Gaussian K (x; xe) = exp jjx xejj =(2 )

support vector machines.

with U = wT X where w is chosen to maximize the Rayleigh

Here, Sej is the sample of covariance of the Zi 's for which Y =
j . However, to take advantage of kernelization, we need to reexpress this in terms of inner products and then replace the
inner products with kernels.
It can be shown that the maximizing vector w is a linear
combination of the Zi 's. Hence we can write

23.11 Other Classiers
There are many other classiers and space precludes a full dicussion of all of them. Let us briey mention a few.
The k-nearest-neighbors classier is very simple. Given a
point x, nd the k data points closest to x. Classify x using the
majority vote of these k neighbors. Ties can be broke randomly.
The parameter k can be chosen by cross-validation.
23.11 Other Classiers
467
Bagging is a method for reducing the variability of a clas-
sier. It is most helpful for highly non-linear classiers such as
a tree. We draw B boostrap samples from the data. The bth
bootstrap sample yields a classier hb . The nal classier is
b
h(x)
=
P
1 if B1 Bb=1 hb (x) 12
0 otherwise:
Boosting is a method for starting with a simple classier
and gradually improving it by retting the data giving higher
weight to misclassied samples. Suppose that H is a collection of
classiers, for example, tress with onely one split. Assume that
Yi 2 f 1; 1g and that each h is such that h(x) 2 f 1; 1g. We
usually give equal weight to all data points in the methods we
have discussed. But one can incorporate unequal weights quite
easily in most algorithms. For example, in constructing a tree,
we could replace the impurity measure with a weighted impurity
measure. The original version of bossting, called AdaBoost, is
as follows.
1. Set the weights wi = 1=n, i = 1; : : : ; n.
2. For j = 1; : : : ; J , do the following steps:
(a) Constructing a classier hj from the data using the
weights w1 ; : : : ; wn.
(b) Compute the weighted error estimate:

The data contain 57 covariates relating to email messages.
Each email message was classied as spam (Y=1) or not
spam (Y=0). The outcome Y is the last column in the le.
The goal is to predict whether an email is spam or not.

(a) Construct classication rules using (i) LDA, (ii) QDA,
(iii) logistic regression and (iv) a classication tree. For
each, report the observed misclassication error rate and
construct a 2-by-2 table of the form

Hint: Here are some things to remember when using R.
(i) To t a logistic regression and get the classied values:
d <- data.frame(x,y)
n <- nrow(x)
out <- glm(y ~ .,family=binomial,data=d)
p <- out\$fitted.values
pred <- rep(0,n)
pred[p > .5] <- 1
table(y,pred)
(ii) To build a tree you must turn y into a factor and you
must do it before you make the data frame:
y <- as.factor(y)
d <- data.frame(x,y)
library(tree)
out <- tree(y ~ .,data=d)
print(summary(out))
plot(out,type="u",lwd=3)

(c) Sometimes it helps to reduce the number of covariates.
One strategy is to compare Xi for the spam and email
group.. For each of the 57 covariates, test whether the
mean of the covriate is the same or dierent between the
two groups. Keep the 10 covariates with the smallest pvalues. Try LDA and logstic regression using only these 10
variables.

Stochastic Processes
24.1
Introduction
Most of this book has focused on iid sequences of random variables. Now we consider sequences of dependent random variables. For example, daily temperatures will form a sequence of
time-ordered random variables and clearly the temperature on
one day is not independent of the temperature on the previous
day.
A stochastic process fXt : t 2 T g is a collection of random variables. We shall sometimes write X (t) instead of Xt .
The variables Xt take values in some set X called the state
space. The set T is called the index set and for our purposes can be thought of as time. The index set can be discrete
T = f0; 1; 2; : : :g or continuous T = [0; 1) depending on the
application.
Example 24.1 (iid observations.) A sequence of iid random vari-
ables can be written as fXt : t 2 T g where T = f1; 2; 3; : : : ; g.
474
24. Stochastic Processes
Thus, a sequence of iid random variables is an example of a
stochastic process. Example 24.2 (The Weather.) Let
X = fsunny; cloudyg. A typi-
cal sequence (depending on where you live) might be
sunny; sunny; cloudy; sunny; cloudy; cloudy; This process has a discrete state space and a discrete index set.
Example 24.3 (Stock Prices.) Figure 24.1 shows the price of a
stock over time. The price is monitored continuously so the index
set T is not discrete. Price is discrete but, for practical purposes
we can imagine treating it as a continuous variable. Example 24.4 (Empirical Distribution Function.) Let X1 ; : : : ; Xn F where F is some cdf on [0,1]. Let
1X
I (Xi t)
Fbn (t) =

n
be the empirical cdf . For any xed value t, Fbn (t) is a random
variable. But the whole empirical cdf
n
o
Fbn (t) : t 2 [0; 1]
is a stochastic process with a continuous state space and a continuous index set. We end this section by recalling a basic fact. If X1 ; : : : ; Xn
are random variables then we can write the joint density as
f (x1 ; : : : ; xn ) = f (x1 )f (x2 jx1 ) f (xn jx1 ; : : : ; xn 1 )

Markov Chains
The simplest stochastic process is a Markov chain in which the
distribution of Xt depends only on Xt 1 . In this section we assume that the state space is discrete, either X = f1; : : : ; N g
or X = f1; 2; : : : ; g and that the index set is T = f0; 1; 2; : : :g.
Typically, most authors write Xn instead of Xt when discussing
Markov chains and I will do so as well.

if
P(Xn
2 T g is a Markov
= x j X0 ; : : : ; Xn 1 ) = P(Xn = x j Xn 1 ) (24.2)
for all n and for all x 2 X .
For a Markov chain, equation (24.1) simplifes to
f (x1 ; : : : ; xn ) = f (x1 )f (x2 jx1 )f (x3 jx2 ) f (xn jxn 1 ):
A Markov chain can be represented by the following DAG:
X1
X2
X3
Xn
Each variable has a single parent, namely, the previous observation.
The theory of Markov chains is a very rich and complex. We
have to get through many denitions before we can do anything
interesting. Our goal is to answer the following questions:
1. When does a Markov chain \settle down" into some sort
of equilibrium?
2. How do we estimate the parameters of a Markov chain?
24.2 Markov Chains
477
3. How can we construct Markov chains that converge to a
given equilibrium distribution and why would we want to
do that?
We will answer questions 1 and 2 in this chapter. We will
answer question 3 in the next chapter. To understand question
1, look at the two chains in Figure 24.2. The rst chain oscillates
all over the place and will continue to do so forever. The second
chain eventually settles into an equilibrium. If we constructed a
histogram of the rst process, it would keep changing as we got
more and more observations. But a histogram from the second
chain would eventually converge to some xed distribution.
The key quantities of a Markov
chain are the probabilities of jumping from one state into another state.
Transition Probabilities.
Denition 24.6 We call
P(Xn+1
= j jXn = i)
(24.3)
the transition probabilities. If the transition probabilities do not change with time, we say the chain is homogeneous. In this case we dene pij = P(Xn+1 = j jXn =
i). The matrix P whose (i; j ) element is pij is called the
transition matrix.
We will only consider homogeneous P
chains. Notice that P has
two properties: (i) pij 0 and (ii) i pij = 1. Each row is
a probability mass function. A matrix with these properties is
called a stochastic matrix.

Let n = (n(1); : : : ; n(N )) be a row vector where
n (i) = P(Xn = i)
(24.8)
is the marginal probability that the chain is in state i at time
n. In particular, 0 is called the initial distribution. To simulate a Markov chain, all you need to know is 0 and P. The
simulation would look like this:
Draw X0 0 . Thus, P(X0 = i) = 0 (i).
Step 2: Suppose the outcome of step 1 is i. Draw X1 P. In
other words, P(X1 = j jX0 = i) = pij .
Step 3: Suppose the outcome of step 2 is j . Draw X2 P. In
other words, P(X2 = kjX1 = j ) = pjk .
And so on.
Step 1:
It might be diÆcult to understand the meaning of n. Imaging simulating the chain many times. Collect all the outcomes at
time n from all the chains. This histogram would look approximately like n . A consequence of theorem 24.9 is the following.

The states of a Markov chain can be classied according to various properties.
States.
Denition 24.11 We say that i
j (or j is accessible from i) if pij (n) > 0 for some n, and we write
i ! j . If i ! j and j ! i then we write i \$ j and we
say that i and j communicate.
reaches
The communication relation satises the following properties:
Theorem
24.12
1. i \$ i.
2. If i \$ j then j \$ i.
3. If i \$ j and j

of classes X = X X where two states i and j

communicate with each other if and only if they are in the

24.2 Markov Chains
483
If all states communicate with each other then the chain is
called irreducible. A set of states is closed if, once you enter
that set of states you never leave. A closed set consisting of a
single state is called an absorbing state.

that E (Y jX0 = i) = 1. If i is transient, then ai < 1. When the
chain is in state i, there is a probability 1 ai > 0 that it will

in state i exactly n times is ani 1 (1 ai ). This is a geometric
distribution which has nite mean. Theorem

Suppose we start the chain in state 1. Then we will be in state

Formally, the period of state i is d if pii (n) = 0 whenever n is
not divisible by d and d is the largest integer with this property.
Thus, d = gcdfn : pii (n) > 0g where gcd means \greater
common divisor." State i is periodic if d(i) > 1 and aperiodic
if d(i) = 1. A state with period 1 is called aperiodic.

distribution of Xn is Pn = . In other words:
If at any time the chain has distribution then it will
continue to have distribution forever.

The last statement of the theorem, is the law of large numbers
for Markov chains. It says that sample averages converge to their
expectations. Finally, there is a special condition which will be
useful later. We say that satises detailed balance if
i pij = pjij :
(24.14)
Detailed balance guarantees that is a stationary distribution.
If satises detailed balance then is a stationary distribution.

24. Stochastic Processes
The importance of detailed balance will become clear when
we discuss Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
Just because a chain has a stationary distribution
does not mean it converges.

Let = (1=3; 1=3; 1=3). Then P = so is a stationary
distribution. If the chain is started with the distribution it will
stay in that distribution. Imagine simulating many chains and
checking the marginal distribution at each time n. It will always
be the uniform distribution . But this chain does not have a
limit. It continues to cycle around forever. Examples of Markov Chains

and suppose that pi;i+1 = p, pi;i 1 = q = 1 p. All states communicate hence either all the states are recurrent or all are transient. To see which, suppose we start at X0 = 0. Note that

p00 (2n) =

(24.15)
since, the only way to get back to 0 is to have n heads (steps
to the right) and n tails (steps to the left). We can approximate
this expression using Stirling's formula which says that

It is easy to check that n p00 (n) < 1 if and only if n p00 (2n) <

Theorem (24.15), the chain is recurrent if p = 1=2 otherwise it
is transient. Example 24.28 Let

Then C1 = f1; 2g and C2 = f5; 6g are irreducible closed sets.
States 3 and 4 are transient because the of the path 3 ! 4 ! 6
and once you hit state 6 you cannot return to 3 or 4. Since
pii (1) > 0, all the states are aperiodic. In summary, 3 and 4 are
transient while 1,2,5 and 6 are ergodic. Example 24.29 (Hardy-Weinberg.) Here is a famous example from
genetics. Suppose a gene can be type A or type a. There are three
types of people (called genotypes): AA, Aa and aa. Let (p; q; r)
denote the fraction of people of each genotype. We assume that
everyone contributes one of their two copies of the gene at random to their children. We also assume that mates are selected
at random. The latter is not realistic however, it is often reasonable to assume that you do not choose your mate based on
whether they are AA, Aa or aa. (This would be false if the gene
was for eye color and if people chose mates based on eye color.)
Imagine if we pooled eveyone's genes together. The proportion
490
24. Stochastic Processes
of A genes is P = p + (q=2) and the proportion of a genes is
Q = r + (q=2). A child is AA with probability P 2, aA with probability 2P Q and aa with probability Q2 . Thus, the fraction of A
genes in this generation is
q 2 q
q
P2 + PQ = p +
+ p+
r+ :

However, r = 1 p q . Substitute this in the above equation
and you get P 2 + P Q = P . A similar calculation shows that
fraction of a genes is Q. We have shown that the proportion of
type A and type a is P and Q and this remains stable after the
rst generation. The proportion of people of type AA, Aa, aa is
thus (P 2 ; 2P Q; Q2) from the second generation and on. This is
called the Hardy-Weinberg law.
Assume everyone has exactly one child. Now consider a xed
person and let Xn be the genotype of their nth descendent. This
is a Markov chain with state space X = fAA; Aa; aag. Some
basic calculations will show you that the transition matrix is

Consider a chain with nite

Markov chain are the initial probabilities 0 = (0 (1); 0(2); : : : ; )
and the elements of the transition matrix P. Each row of P is
a multinomial distribution. So we are essentially estimating N
distributions (plus the initial probabilities). Let nij be the observed number of transitions from state i to state j . The likelihood function is

There is only one observation on 0 so we can't estimate that.

Poisson Processes
One of the most studied and useful stochastic processes is the
Poisson process. It arises when we count occurences of events
over time, for example, traÆc accidents, radioactive decay, arrival of email messages etc. As the name suggests, the Poisson
process is intimately related to the Poisson distribution. Let's
rst review the Poisson distribution.
Recall that X has a Poisson distribution with parameter {
written X Poisson() { if
P (X
= x) p(x; ) =
e x
; x = 0; 1; 2; : : :
x!
492
24. Stochastic Processes
Also recall that E (X ) = and V (X ) = . If X Poisson(),
Y Poisson( ) and X q Y , then X + Y Poisson( + ).
Finally, if N Poisson() and Y jN = n Binomial(n; p), then
the marginal distribution of Y is Y Poisson(p).
Now we describe the Poisson process. Imaging you are at your
computer. Each time a new email message arrives you record the
time. Let Xt be the number of messages you have received up
to and including time t. Then, fXt : t 2 [0; 1)g is a stochastic
process with state space X = f0; 1; 2; : : :g. A process of this form
is called a counting process. A Poisson process is a counting
process that satises certain conditions. In what follows, we will
sometimes write X (t) instead of Xt . Also, we need the following
notation. Write f (h) = o(h) if f (h)=h ! 0 as h ! 0. This
means that f (h) is smaller than h when h is close to 0. For
example, h2 = o(h).

24. Stochastic Processes
Denition 24.33 A Poisson process with intensity func-
tion (t) for some > 0 is called a homogeneous
Poisson process with rate . In this case,
X (t) Poisson(t):
Let X (t) be a homogeneous Poisson process with rate . Let
Wn be the time at which the nth event occurs and set W0 = 0.
The random variables W0 ; W1 ; : : : ; are called waiting times.
Let Sn = Wn+1 Wn . Then S0 ; S1 ; : : : ; are called sojourn times
or interarraival times.
The sojourn times S0 ; S1 ; : : : are iid random
variables. Their distribution is exponential with mean 1=, that
is, they have density

Hence, E (Wn ) = n= and V (Wn ) = n=2 .
Proof.
First, we have
P(S1 > t) = P(X (t) = 0) = e t
with shows that the cdf for S1 is 1 e
for S1 . Now,
j
P(S2 > t S1
t .
This shows the result
= s) = P(no events in (s; s + t]jS1 = s)
= P(no events in (s; s + t]) (increments are independent)
= e t :
24.3 Poisson Processes
495
Hence, S2 has an exponential distribution and is independent
of S1 . The result follows by repeating the argument. The result for Wn follows since a sum of exponentials has a Gamma
distribution. Example 24.35 Figures 24.3 and 24.4 show requests to a WWW
server in Calgary.1 Assuming that this is a homogeneous Poisson process, N X (T ) Poisson(T ). The likelihood is
L() / e
T
(T )N
which is maxmimized at
N
b = = 48:0077
T
in units per minute.
In the preceding example we might want to check if the assumption that the data follow a Poisson process is reasonable.
To proceed, let us rst note that if a Poisson process is observed
on [0; T ] then, given N = X (T ), the event times W1 ; : : : ; WN
are a sample from a Uniform(0; T ) distribution. To see intutively
why this is true, note that the probability of nding an event in
a small interval [t; t + h] is proportional to h. But this doesn't
depend on t. Since the probability is constant over t it must be
uniform.
Figure 24.5 shows a histogram and a some density estimates.
The density does not appear to be uniform. To test this formally,
let is divide into 4 equal length intervals I1 ; I2 ; I3 ; I4 . Let pi be
the probability of a point being in Ii . The null hypothesis is that
p1 = p2 = p3 = p4 . We can test this hypothesis using either a
likelihood ratio test or a 2 test. The latter is

Simulation Methods
In this we will see that by generating data in a clever way, we
can solve a number of problems such as integrating or maximizing a complicated function.1 For integration, we will study
three methods: (i) basic Monte Carlo integration, (ii) importance sampling and (iii) Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC).
25.1 Bayesian Inference Revisited
Simulation methods are especially useful in Bayesian inference
so let us briey review the main ideas in Bayesian inference.

density is

25.2 Basic Monte Carlo Integration
R
Suppose you want to evaluate the integral I = ab h(x)dx for
some function h. If h is an \easy" function like a polynomial
or triginometric function then we can do the integral in closed
form. In practice, h can be very complicated and there may be no
known closed form expression for I . There are many numerical
techniques for evaluating I such as Simpson's rule, the trapezoidal rule, Guassian quadrature and so on. In some cases these
techniques work very well. But other times they may not work
so well. In particular, it is hard to extend them to higher dimensions. Monte Carlo integration is another approach to evaluating
I which is notable for its simplicity, generality and scalability.
Let us begin by writing

where w(x) = h(x)(b a) and f (x) = 1=(b a). Notice that f
is the density for a uniform random variable over (a; b). Hence,
I = Ef (w(X ))
where X Unif(a; b).

Now consider a Bayesian analysis. Suppose we use the prior
f (p1 ; p2 ) = f (p1 )f (p2 ) = 1, that is, a at prior on (p1 ; p2 ). The
posterior is

If we want the posterior density of Æ we can rst get the posterior

where A = f(p1 ; p2 ) : p2 p1 cg. The density can then be
obtained by dierentiating F .
To avoid all these integrals, let's use simulation. Note that
f (p1 ; p2 jX; Y ) = f (p1 jX )f (p2 jY ) which implies that p1 and p2
are independent under the posterior distribution. Also, we see
that p1 jX Beta(X +1; n X +1) and p2 jY Beta(Y +1; m

histogram.
For example, suppose that n = m = 10, X = 8 and Y = 6.
The R code is:
x <- 8; y <- 6
n <- 10; m <- 10
B <- 10000
p1 <- rbeta(B,x+1,n-x+1)
p2 <- rbeta(B,y+1,m-y+1)
delta <- p2 - p1

print(c(left,right))
I found that Æ and a 95 per cent posterior interval of (-0.52,0.20).
The posterior density can be estimated from a histogram of the
simulated values as shown in Figure 25.1.
Suppose we conduct an experiment
by giving rats one of ten possible doses of a drug, denoted by
x1 < x2 < : : : < x10 . For each dose level xi we use n rats and
we observe Yi , the number that survive. Thus we have ten independent binomials Yi Binomial(n; pi ). Suppose we know from
biological considerations that higher doses should have higher
probability of death. Thus, p1 p2 p10 . Suppose we
want to estimate the dose at which the animals have a 50 per
cent chance of dying. This is called the LD50. Formally, Æ = xj

25.3 Importance Sampling
515
The posterior draws for p1 ; : : : ; p10 are shown in the second
panel in the gure. We nd that that Æ = 4:04 with a 95 per
cent interval of (3,5). The third panel shows the posterior for Æ
which is necessarily a discrete distribution.
25.3 Importance Sampling
R
Consider the integral I = h(x)f (x)dx where f is a probability
density. The basic Monte Carlo method involves sampling from
f . However, there are cases where we may not know how to
sample from f . For example, in Bayesian inference, the posterior
density density is is obtained by multiplying the likelihood L()
times the prior f (). There is no guarantee that f (jx) will be
a known distribution like a Normal or Gamma or whatever.
Importance sampling is a generalization of basic Monte Carlo
which overcomes this problem. Let g be a probability density
that we know how to simulate from. Then
I=
Z
h(x)f (x)dx =
Z
h(x)f (x)
g (x)dx = Eg (Y )
g (x)
where Y = h(X )f (X )=g (X ) and the expectation Eg (Y ) is with
respect to g . We can simulate X1 ; : : : ; XN g and estimate I
by
1 X h(Xi )f (Xi )
1X
Yi =

Ib =

g (Xi )
This is called importance sampling. By the law of large nump
bers, Ib !
I . However, there is a catch. It's possible that Ib might
have an innite standard error. To see why, recall that I is the
mean of w(x) = h(x)f (x)=g (x). The second moment of this
quantity is
Eg (w (X )) =

516
25. Simulation Methods
If g has thinner tails than f , then this integral might be innite.
To avoid this, a basic rule in importance sampling is to sample
from a density g with thicker tails than f . Also, suppose that
g (x) is small over some set A where f (x) is large. Again, the
ratio of f=g could be large leading to a large variance. This
implies that we should choose g to be similar in shape to f . In
summary, a good choice for an importance sampling density g
should be similar to f but with thicker tails. In fact, we can say
what the optimal choice of g is.
Theorem 25.5
is
The choice of g that minimizes the variance of Ib

have

jh(x)jf (x)dx :
This establishes a lower bound on Eg (W 2 ). However, Eg (W 2 )
equals this lower bound which proves the claim. This theorem is interesting but it is only of theoretical interest. If we did not know how to sample from f then it is unlikely

that we could sample from jh(x)jf (x)= jh(s)jf (s)ds. In practice, we simply try to nd a thick tailed distribution g which is
similar to f jhj.
Let's Restimate I = P (Z > 3) =
:0013 where Z N (0; 1). Write I = h(x)f (x)dx where f (x) is
the standard Normal density and h(x) = 1 if x > 3 andP0 otherwise. The basic Monte Carlo estimator is Ib = N 1 i h(Xi ).
Using N = 100 we nd (from simulating many times) that
E (Ib) = :0015 and V ar(Ib) = :0039. Notice that most observations are wasted in the sense that most are not near the right
tail. We will estimate this with importance sampling taking g
to be a Normal(4,1) density.
We draw values from g and the
P

b
estimate is now I = N
i f (Xi )h(Xi )=g (Xi ). In this case we
b
nd that E (I ) = :0011 and V ar(Ib) = :0002: We have reduced
the standard deviation by a factor of 20.
Example 25.6 (Tail Probability)
Suppose we have
measurements X1 ; : : : ; Xn of some physical quantity . We might
model this as
Xi = + i :
Example 25.7 (Measurement Model With Outliers)
If we assume that i N (0; 1) then Xi N (i ; 1). However,
when taking measurements, it is often the case that we get the
occasional wild obvervation, or outlier. This suggests that a Normal might be a poor model since Normals have thin tails which
implies that extreme observations are rare. One way to improve
the model is to use a density for i with a thicker tail, for example, a t-distribution with degrees of freedom which has the
form
( +1)=2
+1 2

t(x) =

Smaller values of correspond to thicker tails. For the sake of

i = 1; : : : ; n where i has a t distribution with = 3. We will

To illustrate the idea, I drew n = 2 observations. The posterior

an estimate of -0.53.
25.4 MCMC Part I: The Metropolis-Hastings

R
Consider again the problem of estimating the integral I = h(x)f (x)dx.
In this chapter we introduce Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
methods. The idea is to constuct a Markov chain X1 ; X2 ; : : : ;
whose stationary distribution is f . Under certain conditions it

This works because there is a law of large numbers for Markov
chains called the ergodic theorem.
The Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is a specic MCMC
method that works as follows. Let q (y jx) be an arbitrary, friendly
distribution (i.e. we know how to sample from q (y jx)). The conditional density q (y jx) is called the proposal distribution.
25.4 MCMC Part I: The Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm
519
The Metropolis-Hastings algorithm creates a sequence of observations X0 ; X1 ; : : : ; as follows.
Choose X0 arbitrarily. Suppose
we have generated X0 ; X1 ; : : : ; Xi. To generate Xi+1 do the following:
Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm.
(1) Generate a proposal or candidate value Y
(2) Evaluate r r(Xi; Y ) where
q(yjXi).
f (y ) q (xjy )
r(x; y ) = min
;1 :
f (x) q (y jx)
(3) Set
Xi+1 =
Y with probability r
Xi with probability 1 r:
REMARK 1: A simple way to execute step (3) is to generate
U (0; 1). If U < r set Xi+1 = Y otherwise set Xi+1 = Xi .
REMARK 2: A common choice for q (y jx) is N (x; b2 ) for some
b > 0. This means that the proposal is draw from a Normal,
centered at the current value.
REMARK 3: If the proposal density q is symmetric, q (y jx) =
q (xjy ), then r simplies to
f (Y )
;1 :
r = min
f (Xi )
The Normal proposal distribution mentioned in Remark 2 is an
example of a symmetric proposal density.
520
25. Simulation Methods
By construction, X0 ; X1 ; : : : is a Markov chain. But why does
this Markov chain have f as its stationary distribution? Before
we explain why, let us rst do an example.
The Cauchy distribution has density
1 1
f (x) =
:
1 + x2
Our goal is to simulate a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is f . As suggested in the remark above, we take q (y jx) to
be a N (x; b2 ). So in this case,
Example 25.8
f (y )
1 + x2
r(x; y ) = min
; 1 = min
; 1 :
f (x)
1 + y2
So the algorithm is to draw Y
Xi+1 =
N (Xi ; b ) and set
2
Y with probability r(Xi ; Y )
Xi with probability 1 r(Xi; Y ):
The R code is very simple:
metrop <- function(N,b){
x <- rep(0,N)
for(i in 2:N){
y <- rnorm(1,x[i-1],b)
r <- (1+x^2)/(1+y^2)
u <- runif(1)
if(u < r)x[i] <- y else x[i] <- x[i-1]
}
return(x)
}
The simulator requires a choice of b. Figure 25.3 shows three
chains of length N = 1000 using b = :1, b = 1 and b = 10. The
histograms of the simulated values are shown in Figure 25.4. Setting b = :1 forces the chain to take small steps. As a result, the
chain doesn't \explore" much of the sample space. The histogram
25.4 MCMC Part I: The Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm
521
from the sample does not approximate the true density very well.
Setting b = 10 causes the proposals to often be far in the tails,
making r small and hence we reject the proposal and keep the
chain at its current position. The result is that the chain \gets
stuck" at the same place quite often. Again, this means that the
histogram from the sample does not approximate the true density
very well. The middle choice avoids these extremes and results in
a Markov chain sample that better represents the density sooner.
In summary, there are are tuning parameters and the eÆciency
of the chain depends on these parameters. We'll discus this in
more detail later.
If the sample from the Markov chain starts to \look like"
the target distribution f quickly, then we say that the chain is
\mixing well." Constructing a chain that mixes well is somewhat
of an art.
Why It Works. Recall from the previous chapter that a
distribution satises detailed balance for a Markov chain if
pij i = pjij :
We then showed that if satises detailed balance, then it is a
stationary distribution for the chain.
Because we are now dealing with continuous state Markov
chains, we will change notation a little and write p(x; y ) for the
probability of making a transition from x to y . Also, let's use
f (x) instead of for a distribution.R In this new notation, f is
a stationary distribution if f (x) = f (y )p(y; x)dy and detailed
balance holds for f if
f (x)p(x; y ) = f (y )p(y; x):
Detailed balance implies that f is a stationary distribution since,
if detailed balance holds, then
Z
f (y )p(y; x)dy =
Z
f (x)p(x; y )dy = f (x)
Z
p(x; y )dy = f (x)

which shows that f (x) = f (y )p(y; x)dy as required. Our goal
is to show that f satises detailed balance which will imply that
f is a stationary distribution for the chain.
Consider two points x and y . Either
f (x)q (y jx) < f (y )q (xjy ) or f (x)q (y jx) > f (y )q (xjy ):
We will ignore ties which we can do in the continuous setting.
Without loss of generality, assume that f (x)q (y jx) > f (y )q (xjy ).
This implies that
r(x; y ) =
f (y ) q (xjy )
f (x) q (y jx)
and that r(y; x) = 1. Now p(x; y ) is the probability of jumping
from x to y . This requires two things: (i) the proposal distribution must generate y and (ii) you must accept y . Thus,
p(x; y ) = q (y jx)r(x; y ) = q (y jx)
f (y ) q (xjy ) f (y )
=
q (xjy ):
f (x) q (y jx) f (x)
Therefore,
f (x)p(x; y ) = f (y )q (xjy ):
(25.1)
On the other hand, p(y; x) is the probability of jumping from
y to x. This requires two things: (i) the proposal distribution
must generate x and (ii) you must accept x. This occurs with
probability p(y; x) = q (xjy )r(y; x) = q (xjy ). Hence,
f (y )p(y; x) = f (y )q (xjy ):
(25.2)
Comparing (25.1) and (25.2), we see that we have shown that
detailed balance holds.
25.5 MCMC Part II: Dierent Flavors
There are dierent types of MCMC algorithm. Here we will
consider a few of the most popular versions.
25.5 MCMC Part II: Dierent Flavors
525
In the previous section we considered drawing a proposal Y of the form
Random-walk-Metropolis-Hastings.
Y = Xi + i
where i comes from some distribution with density g . In other
words, q (y jx) = g (y x). We saw that in this case,
f (y )
r(x; y ) = min 1;
:
f (x)
This is called a random-walk-Metropolis-Hastings method.
The reason for the name is that, if we did not do the acceptreject step, we would be simulating a random walk. The most
common choice for g is a N (0; b2 ). The hard part is choosng b
so that the chain mixes well. A good rule of thumb is: choose b
so that you accept the proposals about 50 per cent of the time.
Warning: This method doesn't make sense unless X takes
values on the whole real line. If X is restricted to some interval
then it is best to transform X , say, Y = m(X ) say, where Y takes
values on the whole real line. For example, if X 2 (0; 1) then
you might take Y = log X and then simulate the distribution
for Y instead of X .
This is like an importancesampling version of MCMC. In this we draw the proposal from
a xed distribution g . Generally, g is chosen to be an approximation to f . The acceptance probability becomes
Independence-Metropolis-Hastings.
f (y ) g (x)
r(x; y ) = min 1;
:
f (x) g (y )
The two previous methods can be easily
adapted, in principle, to work in higher dimensions. In practice,

tuning the chains to make them mix well is hard. Gibbs sampling

dimensional problems.
Here's how it works for a bivariate problem. Suppose that
(X; Y ) has density fX;Y (x; y ). First, suppose that it is possible to simulate from the conditional distributions fX jY (xjy ) and
fY jX (y jx). Let (X0 ; Y0) be starting values. Asume we have drawn
(X0 ; Y0 ); : : : ; (Xn; Yn). Then the Gibbs sampling algorithm for
getting (Xn+1 ; Yn+1 ) is:
The n + 1 step in Gibbs sampling:
Xn+1
Yn+1
fX jY (xjYn)
fY jX (yjXn
+1
)
This generalizes in the obvious way to higher dimensions.
Gibbs sampling is very
useful for a class of models called hierarchical models. Here
is a simple case. Suppose we draw a sample of k cities. From
each city we draw ni people and observe how many people Yi
have a disease. Thus, Yi Binomial(ni ; pi ). We are allowing
for dierent disease rates in dierent cities. We can also think
of the p0i s as random draws from some distribution F . We can
write this model in the following way:
Example 25.9 (Normal Hierarchical Model)
Pi
Yi jPi = pi
F
Binomial(ni; pi):
We are
interested in estimating the p0i s and the overall disease
R
rate pdF (p).
To proceed, it will simplify matters if we make some transformations that allow us to use some Normal approxmations. Let
25.5 MCMC Part II: Dierent Flavors

p
pbi = Yi =ni . Recall that pbi N (pi ; si) where si = pbi (1 pbi )=ni .
Let i = log(pi =(1 pi )) and dene Zi bi = log(pbi =(1 pbi )).
By the delta method,
bi
N ( i ; i )
2
where i2 = 1=(npbi(1 pbi )). Experience shows that the Normal
approximation for is more accurate than the Normal approximation for p so we shall work with . We shall treat i as
known. Furthermore, we shall take the distribution of the i0 s to
be Normal. The hierarchical model is now
Zi j
N (; )
N ( i ; i ):

As yet another simplication we take = 1. The unknown parameter are = (; 1 ; : : : ; k ). The likelihood function is

If we use the prior f () / 1 then the posterior is proportional
to the likelihood. To use Gibbs sampling, we need to nd the
conditional distribution of each parameter conditional on all the
others. Let us begin by nding f (jrest) where \rest" refers to
all the other variables. We can throw away any terms that don't
involve . Thus,

Hence we see that jrest N (b; 1=k). Next we will nd f ( jrest).
Again, we can throw away any terms not involving i leaving us
with

f ( i jrest) / exp

where
ei =

i2

and d2i =

1 + 2

i
i
and so i jrest N (ei ; di ). The Gibbs sampling algorithm then
involves iterating the following steps N times:

draw draw 1
..
.
draw
k
N (b; v )
N (e ; d )
2
1
2
1
..
.
N (ek ; d2k ):
It is understood that at each step, the most recently drawn version of each variable is used.
Let's now consider a numerical example. Suppose that there
are k = 20 cities and we sample n = 20 people from each city.
The R function for this problem is:
gibbs.fun <- function(y,n,N){
k <- length(y)
p.hat <- y/n
Z <- log(p.hat/(1-p.hat))
sigma <- sqrt(1/(n*p.hat*(1-p.hat)))
v <- sqrt(1/sum(1/sigma^2))
mu <- rep(0,N)
psi <- matrix(0,N,k)
for(i in 2:N){
25.5 MCMC Part II: Dierent Flavors
529
### draw mu given rest
b <- v^2*sum(psi[i-1,]/sigma^2)
mu[i] <- rnorm(1,b,v)
### draw psi given rest
e <- (Z + mu[i]/sigma^2)/(1 + (1/sigma^2))
d <- sqrt(1/(1 + (1/sigma^2)))
psi[i,] <- rnorm(k,e,d)
}
list(mu=mu,psi=psi)
}
After running the chain, we can convert each i back into pi
by way of pi = e =(1 + e ). The raw proportions are shown in
Figure 25.6. Figure 25.5 shows \trace plots" of the Markov chain
for p1 and . (We should also look at the plots for p2 ; : : : ; p20 .)
Figure 25.6 shows the posterior for based on the simulated
values. The second panel of Figure 25.6 shows the raw proportions and the Bayes estimates. Note that the Bayes estimates
are \shrunk" together. The parameter controls the amount of
shrinkage. We set = 1 but in practice, we should treat as another unknown parameter and let the data determine how much
shrinkage is needed.

So far we assumed that we know how to draw samples from
the conditionals fX jY (xjy ) and fY jX (y jx). If we don't know how,
we can still use the Gibbs sampling algorithm by drawing each
observation using a Metropolis-Hastings step. Let q be a proposal distribution for x and let qe be a proposal distribution for
y . When we do a Metropolis step for X we treat Y as xed.
Similarly, when we do a Metropolis step for Y we treat X as
xed. Here are the steps:
