Bayes sequential estimation procedures for exponential-type processes

Ryszard Magiera (1994)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The Bayesian sequential estimation problem for an exponential family of processes is considered. Using a weighted square error loss and observing cost involving a linear function of the process, the Bayes sequential procedures are derived.

On minimax sequential procedures for exponential families of stochastic processes

Ryszard Magiera (1998)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem of finding minimax sequential estimation procedures for stochastic processes is considered. It is assumed that in addition to the loss associated with the error of estimation a cost of observing the process is incurred. A class of minimax sequential procedures is derived explicitly for a one-parameter exponential family of stochastic processes. The minimax sequential procedures are presented in some special models, in particular, for estimating a parameter of exponential...

Nonparametric estimation of the jump rate for non-homogeneous marked renewal processes

Romain Azaïs, François Dufour, Anne Gégout-Petit (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

This paper is devoted to the nonparametric estimation of the jump rate and the cumulative rate for a general class of non-homogeneous marked renewal processes, defined on a separable metric space. In our framework, the estimation needs only one observation of the process within a long time. Our approach is based on a generalization of the multiplicative intensity model, introduced by Aalen in the seventies. We provide consistent estimators of these two functions, under some assumptions...

Γ-minimax sequential estimation for Markov-additive processes

Ryszard Magiera (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem of estimating unknown parameters of Markov-additive processes from data observed up to a random stopping time is considered. To the problem of estimation, the intermediate approach between the Bayes and the minimax principle is applied in which it is assumed that a vague prior information on the distribution of the unknown parameters is available. The loss in estimating is assumed to consist of the error of estimation (defined by a weighted squared loss function) as well...

Some investigations in minimax estimation theory

Stanisław Trybuła

Similarity:

1. IntroductionThough the theory of minimax estimation was originated about thirty five years ago (see [7], [8], [9], [23]), there are still many unsolved problems in this area. Several papers have been devoted to statistical games in which the set of a priori distributions of the parameter was suitably restricted ([2], [10], [13]). Recently, special attention was paid to the problem of admissibility ([24], [3], [11], [12]).This paper is devoted to the problem of determining minimax...
