Linearization regions for confidence ellipsoids

Lubomír Kubáček, Eva Tesaříková (2008)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

If an observation vector in a nonlinear regression model is normally distributed, then an algorithm for a determination of the exact ( 1 - α ) -confidence region for the parameter of the mean value of the observation vector is well known. However its numerical realization is tedious and therefore it is of some interest to find some condition which enables us to construct this region in a simpler way.

Suitability of linearization of nonlinear problems not only in biology and medicine

Jana Vrbková (2009)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

Biology and medicine are not the only fields that present problems unsolvable through a linear models approach. One way to overcome this obstacle is to use nonlinear methods, even though these are not as thoroughly explored. Another possibility is to linearize and transform the originally nonlinear task to make it accessible to linear methods. In this aricle I investigate an easy and quick criterion to verify suitability of linearization of nonlinear problems via Taylor series expansion...

Underparametrization of weakly nonlinear regression models

Lubomír Kubáček, Eva Tesaříková (2010)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

A large number of parameters in regression models can be serious obstacle for processing and interpretation of experimental data. One way how to overcome it is an elimination of some parameters. In some cases it need not deteriorate statistical properties of estimators of useful parameters and can help to interpret them. The problem is to find conditions which enable us to decide whether such favourable situation occurs.

Linearization regions for a confidence ellipsoid in singular nonlinear regression models

Lubomír Kubáček, Eva Tesaříková (2009)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

A construction of confidence regions in nonlinear regression models is difficult mainly in the case that the dimension of an estimated vector parameter is large. A singularity is also a problem. Therefore some simple approximation of an exact confidence region is welcome. The aim of the paper is to give a small modification of a confidence ellipsoid constructed in a linearized model which is sufficient under some conditions for an approximation of the exact confidence region. ...

Weak nonlinearity in a model which arises from the Helmert transformation

Jan Ševčík (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Nowadays, the algorithm most frequently used for determination of the estimators of parameters which define a transformation between two coordinate systems (in this case the Helmert transformation) is derived under one unreal assumption of errorless measurement in the first system. As it is practically impossible to ensure errorless measurements, we can hardly believe that the results of this algorithm are “optimal”. In 1998, Kubáček and Kubáčková proposed an algorithm which takes errors...
