Linearization regions for confidence ellipsoids

Lubomír Kubáček, Eva Tesaříková (2008)

Similarity:

If an observation vector in a nonlinear regression model is normally distributed, then an algorithm for a determination of the exact ( 1 - α ) -confidence region for the parameter of the mean value of the observation vector is well known. However its numerical realization is tedious and therefore it is of some interest to find some condition which enables us to construct this region in a simpler way.

Linearization regions for a confidence ellipsoid in singular nonlinear regression models

Lubomír Kubáček, Eva Tesaříková (2009)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

A construction of confidence regions in nonlinear regression models is difficult mainly in the case that the dimension of an estimated vector parameter is large. A singularity is also a problem. Therefore some simple approximation of an exact confidence region is welcome. The aim of the paper is to give a small modification of a confidence ellipsoid constructed in a linearized model which is sufficient under some conditions for an approximation of the exact confidence region. ...

Suitability of linearization of nonlinear problems not only in biology and medicine

Jana Vrbková (2009)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

Biology and medicine are not the only fields that present problems unsolvable through a linear models approach. One way to overcome this obstacle is to use nonlinear methods, even though these are not as thoroughly explored. Another possibility is to linearize and transform the originally nonlinear task to make it accessible to linear methods. In this aricle I investigate an easy and quick criterion to verify suitability of linearization of nonlinear problems via Taylor series expansion...
