Abstract: We propose and study properties of maximum likelihood estimators in the class of conditional transformation models. Based on a suitable explicit parameterisation of the unconditional or conditional transformation function, we establish a cascade of increasingly complex transformation models that can be estimated, compared and analysed in the maximum likelihood framework. Models for the unconditional or conditional distribution function of any univariate response variable can be set-up and estimated in the same theoretical and computational framework simply by choosing an appropriate transformation function and parameterisation thereof. The ability to evaluate the distribution function directly allows us to estimate models based on the exact likelihood, especially in the presence of random censoring or truncation. For discrete and continuous responses, we establish the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators. A reference software implementation of maximum likelihood-based estimation for conditional transformation models allowing the same flexibility as the theory developed here was employed to illustrate the wide range of possible applications.

Sinh-arcsinh Distributions
Arthur Pewsey
- 25 May 2010
TL;DR: In this paper, a four-parameter location-scale extension of the sinh-arcsinh family of distributions is proposed. But the extension does not allow for asymmetric tail weights.

Ensemble Postprocessing Using Quantile Function Regression Based on Neural Networks and Bernstein Polynomials
TL;DR: In this work postprocessing by statistical methods is usually required to make forecasts reliable in a probabilistic sense and the value of ensemble forecasts is well documented.
Rage Against the Mean – A Review of Distributional Regression Approaches
01 Apr 2023
TL;DR: The current state of distributional regression is discussed in this article , with a particular focus on the four most prominent model classes: generalized additive models for location, scale and shape, conditional transformation models and distribution regression, density regression, and quantile and expectile regression.

Simultaneous inference in general parametric models.
TL;DR: This paper describes simultaneous inference procedures in general parametric models, where the experimental questions are specified through a linear combination of elemental model parameters, and extends the canonical theory of multiple comparison procedures in ANOVA models to linear regression problems, generalizedlinear models, linear mixed effects models, the Cox model, robust linear models, etc.
An Analysis of Transformations

TL;DR: In this article, Lindley et al. make the less restrictive assumption that such a normal, homoscedastic, linear model is appropriate after some suitable transformation has been applied to the y's.
