Pairs of successes in Bernoulli trials and a new n-estimator for the binomial distribution

Wolfgang Kühne, Peter Neumann, Dietrich Stoyan, Helmut Stoyan (1994)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The problem of estimating the number, n, of trials, given a sequence of k independent success counts obtained by replicating the n-trial experiment is reconsidered in this paper. In contrast to existing methods it is assumed here that more information than usual is available: not only the numbers of successes are given but also the number of pairs of consecutive successes. This assumption is realistic in a class of problems of spatial statistics. There typically k = 1, in which case the classical...

Parameter estimation of S-distributions with alternating regression.

I-Chun Chou, Harald Martens, Eberhard O. Voit (2007)

SORT

We propose a novel 3-way alternating regression (3-AR) method as an effective strategy for the estimation of parameter values in S-distributions from frequency data. The 3-AR algorithm is very fast and performs well for error-free distributions and artificial noisy data obtained as random samples generated from S-distributions, as well as for traditional statistical distributions and for actual observation data. In rare cases where the algorithm does not immediately converge, its enormous speed...

Parameter estimation of sub-Gaussian stable distributions

Vadym Omelchenko (2014)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we present a parameter estimation method for sub-Gaussian stable distributions. Our algorithm has two phases: in the first phase, we calculate the average values of harmonic functions of observations and in the second phase, we conduct the main procedure of asymptotic maximum likelihood where those average values are used as inputs. This implies that the main procedure of our method does not depend on the sample size of observations. The main idea of our method lies in representing...

Parametric inference for mixed models defined by stochastic differential equations

Sophie Donnet, Adeline Samson (2008)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Non-linear mixed models defined by stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are considered: the parameters of the diffusion process are random variables and vary among the individuals. A maximum likelihood estimation method based on the Stochastic Approximation EM algorithm, is proposed. This estimation method uses the Euler-Maruyama approximation of the diffusion, achieved using latent auxiliary data introduced to complete the diffusion process between each pair of measurement instants. A tuned...

Parametric test for change in a parameter occurring in the density of one-parameter exponential family

van Huu Nguyen (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

The problem of testing hypothesis under which the observations are independent, identically distributed against a class of alternatives of regression in a parameter of the one-parameter exponential family is studied. A parametric test for this problem is suggested. The relative efficiency of the parametric test compared to the rank test proposed in the author's preceding paper is also derived.

Parametrization and geometric analysis of coordination controllers for multi-agent systems

Xiaoli Wang, Yiguang Hong (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we address distributed control structures for multi-agent systems with linear controlled agent dynamics. We consider the parametrization and related geometric structures of the coordination controllers for multi-agent systems with fixed topologies. Necessary and sufficient conditions to characterize stabilizing consensus controllers are obtained. Then we consider the consensus for the multi-agent systems with switching interaction topologies based on control parametrization.
