An alternative analysis of variance.

Nicholas T. Longford (2008)

SORT

Similarity:

The one-way analysis of variance is a staple of elementary statistics courses. The hypothesis test of homogeneity of the means encourages the use of the selected-model based estimators which are usually assessed without any regard for the uncertainty about the outcome of the test. We expose the weaknesses of such estimators when the uncertainty is taken into account, as it should be, and propose synthetic estimators as an alternative.

The problem of determining estimators for different structural parameters in the case of credibility results for weighted contracts

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

This paper presents and analyzes the estimators of the structural parameters, in the Bühlmann-Straub model, involving complicated mathematical properties of conditional expectations and of conditional covariances. So to enable to use the better linear credibility results obtained in this model, we will provide useful estimators for the structure parameters. From the practical point of view it is stated the attractive property of unbiasedness for these estimators.

An empirical evaluation of small area estimators.

Álex Costa, Albert Satorra, Eva Ventura (2003)

SORT

Similarity:

This paper compares five small area estimators. We use Monte Carlo simulation in the context of both artificial and real populations. In addition to the direct and indirect estimators, we consider the optimal composite estimator with population weights, and two composite estimators with estimated weights: one that assumes homogeneity of within area variance and squared bias and one that uses area-specific estimates of variance and squared bias. In the study with real population, we found...

Efficiency rate and local deficiency of Huber's location estimators and of the α-estimators.

Asunción Rubio, Jan Amos Visek (1991)

Trabajos de Estadística

Similarity:

The paper studies the problem of selecting an estimator with (approximately) minimal asymptotic variance. For every fixed contamination level there is usually just one such estimator in the considered family. Using the first and the second derivative of the asymptotic variance with respect to the parameter which parametrizes the family of estimators the paper gives two examples of how to select the estimator and gives an approximation to a loss which we suffer when we use the estimator...
