Design and Estimation Problems when Estimating a Regression Coefficient from Survey Data.
A model following control system (MFCS) can output general signals following the desired ones. In this paper, a method of nonlinear MFCS will be extended to be a nonlinear descriptor system in discrete time. The nonlinear system studied in this paper has the property of norm constraint , where , , . In this case, a new criterion is proposed to ensure the internal states be stable.
En este trabajo consideramos el problema de la detección de rasgos bajo la presencia de ruido en imágenes que tras un cierto tratamiento se reducen a binarias, por la presencia de dos tipos de elementos. Podemos encontrar ejemplos de este problema en la detección de minas por medio de imágenes de avión o satélite, en la búsqueda de rasgos en imágenes microscópicas de células, o en la caracterización de fallas en zonas de terremotos.En primer lugar revisamos algunos métodos de detección jerárquicos...
Detecting a cluster structure is considered. This means solving either the problem of discovering a natural decomposition of data points into groups (clusters) or the problem of detecting clouds of data points of a specific form. In this paper both these problems are considered. To discover a cluster structure of a specific arrangement or a cloud of data of a specific form a class of nonlinear projections is introduced. Fitness functions that estimate to what extent a given subset of data points...
This paper is devoted to the study of some asymptotic properties of a -estimator in a framework of detection of abrupt changes in random field’s distribution. This class of problems includes e.g. recovery of sets. It involves various techniques, including -estimation method, concentration inequalities, maximal inequalities for dependent random variables and -mixing. Penalization of the criterion function when the size of the true model is unknown is performed. All the results apply under mild,...
This paper is devoted to the study of some asymptotic properties of a M-estimator in a framework of detection of abrupt changes in random field's distribution. This class of problems includes e.g. recovery of sets. It involves various techniques, including M-estimation method, concentration inequalities, maximal inequalities for dependent random variables and ϕ-mixing. Penalization of the criterion function when the size of the true model is unknown is performed. All the results apply under...
To validate pollution data, subject-matter experts in Airpl (an organization that maintains a network of air pollution monitoring stations in western France) daily perform visual examinations of the data and check their consistency. In this paper, we describe these visual examinations and propose a formalization for this problem. The examinations consist in comparisons of so-called shorth intervals so we build a statistical test that compares such intervals in a nonparametric regression model. This...

A method of geometrical characterization of multidimensional data sets, including construction of the convex hull of the data and calculation of the volume of the convex hull, is described. This technique, together with the concept of minimum convex hull volume, can be used for detection of influential points or outliers in multiple linear regression. An approximation to the true concept is achieved by ordering the data into a linear sequence such that the volume of the convex hull of the first...
A procedure for testing occurrance of a transient change in mean of a sequence is suggested where inside an epidemic interval the mean is a linear function of time points. Asymptotic behavior of considered trimmed maximum-type test statistics is presented. Approximate critical values are obtained using an approximation of exceedance probabilities over a high level by Gaussian fields with a locally stationary structure.
Frente a la visión antigua de controlar la calidad mediante la inspección final, o la clásica del control estadístico del proceso, la forma que actualmente podríamos denominar moderna, y desde luego la más económica de asegurar la calidad, consiste en diseñar productos tales que sus prestaciones se mantengan en el nivel deseado aunque éstos no se hayan fabricado en las condiciones más adecuadas, o se hayan elaborado con materias primas que no reúnan las condiciones óptimas, o bien que sean utilizados...
