The use of third-order moments in structural models.

Erik Meijer, Ab Mooijart (1994)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Structural models are usually estimated using only second order moments (covariances or correlations). When variables are nor multivariate normally distributed, however, methods that also fit higher order moments, such as skewnesses, are theoretically asymptotically preferable. This article reports result from a Monte Carlo simulation study in which estimators that fit both second-order moments and third-order moments are compared with estimators that fit only second-order moments. ...

Efficiency rate and local deficiency of Huber's location estimators and of the α-estimators.

Asunción Rubio, Jan Amos Visek (1991)

Trabajos de Estadística

Similarity:

The paper studies the problem of selecting an estimator with (approximately) minimal asymptotic variance. For every fixed contamination level there is usually just one such estimator in the considered family. Using the first and the second derivative of the asymptotic variance with respect to the parameter which parametrizes the family of estimators the paper gives two examples of how to select the estimator and gives an approximation to a loss which we suffer when we use the estimator...

Estimators for epidemic alternatives

Marie Hušková (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We introduce and study the behavior of estimators of changes in the mean value of a sequence of independent random variables in the case of so called epidemic alternatives which is one of the variants of the change point problem. The consistency and the limit distribution of the estimators developed for this situation are shown. Moreover, the classical estimators used for `at most change' are examined for the studied situation.
