Rate of convergence for a class of RCA estimators

Pavel Vaněček (2006)

Kybernetika

This work deals with Random Coefficient Autoregressive models where the error process is a martingale difference sequence. A class of estimators of unknown parameter is employed. This class was originally proposed by Schick and it covers both least squares estimator and maximum likelihood estimator for instance. Asymptotic behavior of such estimators is explored, especially the rate of convergence to normal distribution is established.

Reference points based recursive approximation

Martina Révayová, Csaba Török (2013)

Kybernetika

The paper studies polynomial approximation models with a new type of constraints that enable to get estimates with significant properties. Recently we enhanced a representation of polynomials based on three reference points. Here we propose a two-part cubic smoothing scheme that leverages this representation. The presence of these points in the model has several consequences. The most important one is the fact that by appropriate location of the reference points the resulting approximant of two...

Reliability in the Rasch model

Patrícia Martinková, Karel Zvára (2007)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with the reliability of composite measurement consisting of true-false items obeying the Rasch model. A definition of reliability in the Rasch model is proposed and the connection to the classical definition of reliability is shown. As a modification of the classical estimator Cronbach's alpha, a new estimator logistic alpha is proposed. Finally, the properties of the new estimator are studied via simulations in the Rasch model.

Remarques sur le maximum de vraisemblance.

Catherine Huber, Mikhail Nikulin (1997)

Qüestiió

Some paradoxes on the maximum likelihood principle are presented and commented. We consider the properties of the maximum likelihood estimators as a particular case of the M-estimators. We propose a unified theory which includes non-dominated models. Several examples are given.

Risk bounds for new M-estimation problems

Nabil Rachdi, Jean-Claude Fort, Thierry Klein (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper, we consider a new framework where two types of data are available: experimental data Y1,...,Yn supposed to be i.i.d from Y and outputs from a simulated reduced model. We develop a procedure for parameter estimation to characterize a feature of the phenomenon Y. We prove a risk bound qualifying the proposed procedure in terms of the number of experimental data n, reduced model complexity and computing budget m. The method we present is general enough to cover a wide range of applications....

Robust estimation based on spacings in weighted exponential models

Paweł Błażej, Jarosław Bartoszewicz (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Using Zieliński's (1977, 1983) formalization of robustness Błażej (2007) obtained uniformly most bias-robust estimates (UMBREs) of the scale parameter for some statistical models (including the exponential model), in a class of linear functions of order statistics, when violations of the models are generated by weight functions. In this paper the UMBRE of the scale parameter, based on spacings, in two weighted exponential models is derived. Extensions of results of Bartoszewicz (1986, 1987) are...

Robust estimation of the scale and weighted distributions

Paweł Błażej (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The concept of robustness given by Zieliński (1977) is considered in cases where violations of models are generated by weight functions. Uniformly most bias-robust estimates of the scale parameter, based on order statistics, are obtained for some statistical models. Extensions of results of Zieliński (1983) and Bartoszewicz (1986) are given.

Robust median estimator for generalized linear models with binary responses

Tomáš Hobza, Leandro Pardo, Igor Vajda (2012)

Kybernetika

The paper investigates generalized linear models (GLM's) with binary responses such as the logistic, probit, log-log, complementary log-log, scobit and power logit models. It introduces a median estimator of the underlying structural parameters of these models based on statistically smoothed binary responses. Consistency and asymptotic normality of this estimator are proved. Examples of derivation of the asymptotic covariance matrix under the above mentioned models are presented. Finally some comments...
