Theory of parameter estimation

Ryszard Zieliński (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

0. Introduction and summary. The analysis of data from the gravitational-wave detectors that are currently under construction in several countries will be a challenging problem. The reason is that gravitational-vawe signals are expected to be extremely weak and often very rare. Therefore it will be of great importance to implement optimal statistical methods to extract all possible information about the signals from the noisy data sets. Careful statistical analysis based on correct application...

Spatial prediction of the mark of a location-dependent marked point process: How the use of a parametric model may improve prediction

Tomáš Mrkvička, François Goreaud, Joël Chadoeuf (2011)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

We discuss the prediction of a spatial variable of a multivariate mark composed of both dependent and explanatory variables. The marks are location-dependent and they are attached to a point process. We assume that the marks are assigned independently, conditionally on an unknown underlying parametric field. We compare (i) the classical non-parametric Nadaraya-Watson kernel estimator based on the dependent variable (ii) estimators obtained under an assumption of local parametric model...

On a class of estimators in a multivariate RCA(1) model

Zuzana Prášková, Pavel Vaněček (2011)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This work deals with a multivariate random coefficient autoregressive model (RCA) of the first order. A class of modified least-squares estimators of the parameters of the model, originally proposed by Schick for univariate first-order RCA models, is studied under more general conditions. Asymptotic behavior of such estimators is explored, and a lower bound for the asymptotic variance matrix of the estimator of the mean of random coefficient is established. Finite sample properties are...

On estimation of parameters in the bivariate linear errors-in-variables model

Anna Czapkiewicz (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We discuss some methods of estimation in bivariate errors-in-variables linear models. We also suggest a method of constructing consistent estimators in the case when the error disturbances have the normal distribution with unknown parameters. It is based on the theory of estimating variance components in linear models. A simulation study is presented which compares this estimator with the maximum likelihood one.

An admissible estimator of a lower-bounded scale parameter under squared-log error loss function

Eisa Mahmoudi, Hojatollah Zakerzadeh (2011)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Estimation in truncated parameter space is one of the most important features in statistical inference, because the frequently used criterion of unbiasedness is useless, since no unbiased estimator exists in general. So, other optimally criteria such as admissibility and minimaxity have to be looked for among others. In this paper we consider a subclass of the exponential families of distributions. Bayes estimator of a lower-bounded scale parameter, under the squared-log error loss function...

Robust Bayesian estimation in a normal model with asymmetric loss function

Agata Boratyńska, Monika Drozdowicz (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem of robust Bayesian estimation in a normal model with asymmetric loss function (LINEX) is considered. Some uncertainty about the prior is assumed by introducing two classes of priors. The most robust and conditional Γ-minimax estimators are constructed. The situations when those estimators coincide are presented.
