Some remarks on the individuals-score distance and its applications to statistical inference.

Antonio Miñarro, Josep M. Oller (1992)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the study of some properties of the distance between statistical individuals based on representations on the dual tangent space of a parametric manifold representation of a statistical model. Explicit expressions for distances are obtained for well-known families of distributions. We have also considered applications of the distance to parameter estimation, testing statistical hypotheses and discriminant analysis.

Global statistical information in exponential experiments and selection of exponential models

Igor Vajda, E. van der Meulen (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The concept of global statistical information in the classical statistical experiment with independent exponentially distributed samples is investigated. Explicit formulas are evaluated for common exponential families. It is shown that the generalized likelihood ratio test procedure of model selection can be replaced by a generalized information procedure. Simulations in a classical regression model are used to compare this procedure with that based on the Akaike criterion.

Maximum likelihood principle and I -divergence: discrete time observations

Jiří Michálek (1998)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The paper investigates the relation between maximum likelihood and minimum I -divergence estimates of unknown parameters and studies the asymptotic behaviour of the likelihood ratio maximum. Observations are assumed to be done in the discrete time.
