On-line nonparametric estimation.

Rafail Khasminskii (2004)

SORT

Similarity:

A survey of some recent results on nonparametric on-line estimation is presented. The first result deals with an on-line estimation for a smooth signal S(t) in the classic 'signal plus Gaussian white noise' model. Then an analogous on-line estimator for the regression estimation problem with equidistant design is described and justified. Finally some preliminary results related to the on-line estimation for the diffusion observed process are described.

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...

A sufficient condition for admissibility in linear estimation

Czesław Stępniak (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

It was recently shown that all estimators which are locally best in the relative interior of the parameter set, together with their limits constitute a complete class in linear estimation, both unbiased and biased. However, not all these limits are admissible. A sufficient condition for admissibility of a limit was given by the author (1986) for the case of unbiased estimation in a linear model with the natural parameter space. This paper extends this result to the general linear model...

Meta-analysis techniques applied in prevalence rate estimation

João Paulo Martins, Miguel Felgueiras, Rui Santos (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In some cases, the estimators obtained in compound tests have better features than the traditional ones, obtained from individual tests, cf. Sobel and Elashoff (1975), Garner et al. (1989) and Loyer (1983). The bias, the efficiency and the robustness of these estimators are investigated in several papers, e.g. Chen and Swallow (1990), Hung and Swallow (1999) and Lancaster and Keller-McNulty (1998). Thus, the use of estimators based on compound tests not only allows a substantial...

On robust GMM estimation with applications in economics and finance

Ansgar Steland (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) estimators are a popular tool in econometrics since introduced by Hansen (1982), because this approach provides feasible solutions for many problems present in economic data where least squares or maximum likelihood methods fail when naively applied. These problems may arise in errors-in-variable regression, estimation of labor demand curves, and asset pricing in finance, which are discussed here. In this paper we study a GMM estimator for the rank...

Estimation of summary characteristics from replicated spatial point processes

Zbyněk Pawlas (2011)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Summary characteristics play an important role in the analysis of spatial point processes. We discuss various approaches to estimating summary characteristics from replicated observations of a stationary point process. The estimators are compared with respect to their integrated squared error. Simulations for three basic types of point processes help to indicate the best way of pooling the subwindow estimators. The most appropriate way depends on the particular summary characteristic,...

Unbiased risk estimation method for covariance estimation

Hélène Lescornel, Jean-Michel Loubes, Claudie Chabriac (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider a model selection estimator of the covariance of a random process. Using the Unbiased Risk Estimation (U.R.E.) method, we build an estimator of the risk which allows to select an estimator in a collection of models. Then, we present an oracle inequality which ensures that the risk of the selected estimator is close to the risk of the oracle. Simulations show the efficiency of this methodology.
