Linear versus quadratic estimators in linearized models

Lubomír Kubáček (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In nonlinear regression models an approximate value of an unknown parameter is frequently at our disposal. Then the linearization of the model is used and a linear estimate of the parameter can be calculated. Some criteria how to recognize whether a linearization is possible are developed. In the case that they are not satisfied, it is necessary to take into account either some quadratic corrections or to use the nonlinear least squares method. The aim of the paper is to find some criteria...

Estimates of reliability for the normal distribution

Jan Hurt (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

The minimum variance unbiased, the maximum likelihood, the Bayes, and the naive estimates of the reliability function of a normal distribution are studied. Their asymptotic normality is proved and asymptotic expansions for both the expectation and the mean squared error are derived. The estimates are then compared using the concept of deficiency. In the end an extensive Monte Carlo study of the estimates in small samples is given.
