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...

A review of the results on the Stein approach for estimators improvement.

Vassiliy G. Voinov, Mikhail S. Nikulin (1995)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Since 1956, a large number of papers have been devoted to Stein's technique of obtaining improved estimators of parameters, for several statistical models. We give a brief review of these papers, emphasizing those aspects which are interesting from the point of view of the theory of unbiased estimation.

Estimation of the generalized variance in a bivariate normal distribution from an incomplete sample

Wiktor Oktaba, Joanna Tarasińska (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The aim of the paper is estimation of the generalized variance of a bivariate normal distribution in the case of a sample with missing observations. The estimator based on all available observations is compared with the estimator based only on complete pairs of observations.

Estimating median and other quantiles in nonparametric models

Ryszard Zieliński (1995)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Though widely accepted, in nonparametric models admitting asymmetric distributions the sample median, if n=2k, may be a poor estimator of the population median. Shortcomings of estimators which are not equivariant are presented.

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.

A Cramer-Rao analogue for median-unbiased estimators.

N. K. Sung, Gabriela Stangenhaus, Herbert T. David (1990)

Trabajos de Estadística

Similarity:

Adopting a measure of dispersion proposed by Alamo [1964], and extending the analysis in Stangenhaus [1977] and Stangenhaus and David [1978b], an analogue of the classical Cramér-Rao lower bound for median-unbiased estimators is developed for absolutely continuous distributions with a single parameter, in which mean-unbiasedness, the Fisher information, and the variance are replaced by median-unbiasedness, the first absolute moment of the sample score, and the reciprocal of twice the...

The LASSO estimator: Distributional properties

Rakshith Jagannath, Neelesh S. Upadhye (2018)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) is a popular technique for simultaneous estimation and model selection. There have been a lot of studies on the large sample asymptotic distributional properties of the LASSO estimator, but it is also well-known that the asymptotic results can give a wrong picture of the LASSO estimator's actual finite-sample behaviour. The finite sample distribution of the LASSO estimator has been previously studied for the special case of...
