Minimax prediction under random sample size

Alicja Jokiel-Rokita (2002)

Applicationes Mathematicae

A class of minimax predictors of random variables with multinomial or multivariate hypergeometric distribution is determined in the case when the sample size is assumed to be a random variable with an unknown distribution. It is also proved that the usual predictors, which are minimax when the sample size is fixed, are not minimax, but they remain admissible when the sample size is an ancillary statistic with unknown distribution.

Modelización de datos longitudinales con estructuras de covarianza no estacionarias: modelos de coeficientes aleatorios frente a modelos alternativos.

Vicente Núñez-Antón, Dale L. Zimmerman (2001)

Qüestiió

Un tema que ha suscitado el interés de los investigadores en datos longitudinales durante las dos últimas décadas, ha sido el desarrollo y uso de modelos paramétricos explícitos para la estructura de covarianza de los datos. Sin embargo, el análisis de estructuras de covarianza no estacionarias en el contexto de datos longitudinales no se ha realizado de forma detallada principalmente debido a que las distintas aplicaciones no hacían necesario su uso. Muchos son los modelos propuestos recientemente,...

Modified minimax quadratic estimation of variance components

Viktor Witkovský (1998)

Kybernetika

The paper deals with modified minimax quadratic estimation of variance and covariance components under full ellipsoidal restrictions. Based on the, so called, linear approach to estimation variance components, i. e. considering useful local transformation of the original model, we can directly adopt the results from the linear theory. Under normality assumption we can can derive the explicit form of the estimator which is formally find to be the Kuks–Olman type estimator.

Modified power divergence estimators in normal models – simulation and comparative study

Iva Frýdlová, Igor Vajda, Václav Kůs (2012)

Kybernetika

Point estimators based on minimization of information-theoretic divergences between empirical and hypothetical distribution induce a problem when working with continuous families which are measure-theoretically orthogonal with the family of empirical distributions. In this case, the φ -divergence is always equal to its upper bound, and the minimum φ -divergence estimates are trivial. Broniatowski and Vajda [3] proposed several modifications of the minimum divergence rule to provide a solution to the...
