We apply Fisher's fiducial idea to wavelet regression, first developing a general methodology for handling model selection problems within the fiducial framework. We propose fiducial-based methods for wavelet curve estimation and the construction of pointwise confidence intervals. We show that these confidence intervals have asymptotically correct coverage. Simulations demonstrate that they possess promising empirical properties. Copyright 2009, Oxford University Press.

Fiducial theory for free-knot splines
We construct the fiducial model for free-knot splines and derive sufficient conditions to show asymptotic consistency of a multivariate fiducial estimator. We show that splines of degree four and…
Generalized fiducial inference
TLDR
The generalized fiducial framework is presented along with important results and applications and simple examples are used to illustrate the intuition behind and the application of the framework and its tools.
Generalized Fiducial Inference for Ultrahigh-Dimensional Regression
TLDR
It is shown that statistical inference based on the proposed methods will have correct asymptotic frequentist property and also for constructing confidence intervals for the corresponding parameters of the parameter estimates and model choices.

On Asymptotic Properties of Generalized Fiducial Inference for Discretized Data
Abstract: Most data of which a statistician comes into contact has been rounded off in some manner, i.e., we do not observe X = x but a < X ≤ b. In this paper we investigate theoretical properties of…
Generalized fiducial inference for normal linear mixed models
While linear mixed modeling methods are foundational concepts introduced in any statistical education, adequate general methods for interval estimation involving models with more than a few variance…
Covariance estimation via fiducial inference
TLDR
A fiducial approach to the estimation of covariance matrix is developed, built upon the Fiducial Berstein-von Mises Theorem, and it is shown that the fiducials distribution of the covariate matrix is consistent under this framework.
Generalized Fiducial Inference: A Review
TLDR
Starting around the year 2000, the authors and collaborators started to re-investigate the idea of ducial inference and discovered that Fisher's approach, when properly generalized, would open doors to solve many important and dicult inference problems.
ON GENERALIZED FIDUCIAL INFERENCE
In this paper we extend Fisher's fiducial argument and obtain a gener- alized fiducial recipe that greatly expands the applicability of fiducial ideas. We do this assuming as little structure as…
Generalized fiducial inference via discretization
TLDR
In this paper, theoretical properties of generalized fiducial distribution introduced in Hannig (2009) for discretized data are investigated and limit theorems are provided for both fixed sample size with increasing precision of the discretization, and increasing sample sizes with fixed Precision.

Confidence sets for nonparametric wavelet regression
We construct nonparametric confidence sets for regression functions using wavelets that are uniform over Besov balls. We consider both thresholding and modulation estimators for the wavelet…
Posterior probability intervals for wavelet thresholding
Summary. We use cumulants to derive Bayesian credible intervals for wavelet regression estimates. The first four cumulants of the posterior distribution of the estimates are expressed in terms of the…
A crossvalidatory AIC for hard wavelet thresholding in spatially adaptive function estimation
TLDR
This work proposes and develops theory in support of a crossvalidatory version of AIC which, like universal thresholding and Nason's method, can be implemented in O(n log n) operations, where n is the sample size.
Posterior probability intervals in Bayesian wavelet estimation
We use saddlepoint approximation to derive credible intervals for Bayesian wavelet regression estimates. Simulations show that the resulting intervals perform better than the best existing method.…

TLDR
A generic bivariate hard thresholding estimator of the discrete wavelet coefficients of a function contaminated with i.i.d. Gaussian noise is proposed, and a robust and effective technique for choosing the parameters of BITUP in a data-driven way is proposed.
