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 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.

Periodic autoregression with exogenous variables and periodic variances

Jiří Anděl (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

The periodic autoregressive process with non-vanishing mean and with exogenous variables is investigated in the paper. It is assumed that the model has also periodic variances. The statistical analysis is based on the Bayes approach with a vague prior density. Estimators of the parameters and asymptotic tests of hypotheses are derived.

Permanents, order statistics, outliers, and robustness.

Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan (2007)

Revista Matemática Complutense

In this paper, we consider order statistics and outlier models, and focus primarily on multiple-outlier models and associated robustness issues. We first synthesise recent developments on order statistics arising from independent and non-identically distributed random variables based primarily on the theory of permanents. We then highlight various applications of these results in evaluating the robustness properties of several linear estimators when multiple outliers are possibly present in the...

Permutation tests for multiple changes

Marie Hušková, Aleš Slabý (2001)

Kybernetika

Approximations to the critical values for tests for multiple changes in location models are obtained through permutation tests principle. Theoretical results say that the approximations based on the limit distribution and the permutation distribution of the test statistics behave in the same way in the limit. However, the results of simulation study show that the permutation tests behave considerably better than the corresponding tests based on the asymptotic critical value.

Posterior odds ratios for selected regression hypotheses.

Arnold Zellner, Aloysius Siow (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Bayesian posterior odds ratios for frequently encountered hypotheses about parameters of the normal linear multiple regression model are derived and discussed. For the particular prior distributions utilized, it is found that the posterior odds ratios can be well approximated by functions that are monotonic in usual sampling theory F statistics. Some implications of these finding and the relation of our work to the pioneering work of Jeffreys and others are considered. Tabulations of odd ratios...

Posterior regret Γ-minimax estimation in a normal model with asymmetric loss function

Agata Boratyńska (2002)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The problem of posterior regret Γ-minimax estimation under LINEX loss function is considered. A general form of posterior regret Γ-minimax estimators is presented and it is applied to a normal model with two classes of priors. A situation when the posterior regret Γ-minimax estimator, the most stable estimator and the conditional Γ-minimax estimator coincide is presented.
