On variance of the two-stage estimator in variance-covariance components model

Júlia Volaufová (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper deals with a linear model with linear variance-covariance structure, where the linear function of the parameter of expectation is to be estimated. The two-stage estimator is based on the observation of the vector Y and on the invariant quadratic estimator of the variance-covariance components. Under the assumption of symmetry of the distribution and existence of finite moments up to the tenth order, an approach to determining the upper bound for the difference in variances of the estimators...

One singular multivariate linear model with nuisance parameters

Pavla Kunderová (2005)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

The multivariate linear model, in which the matrix of the first order parameters is divided into two matrices: to the matrix of the useful parameters and to the matrix of the nuisance parameters, is considered.

Optimal stopping of a risk process

Elżbieta Ferenstein, Andrzej Sierociński (1997)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Optimal stopping time problems for a risk process U t = u + c t - n = 0 N ( t ) X n where the number N(t) of losses up to time t is a general renewal process and the sequence of X i ’s represents successive losses are studied. N(t) and X i ’s are independent. Our goal is to maximize the expected return before the ruin time. The main results are closely related to those obtained by Boshuizen and Gouweleew [2].

Optimality of the least weighted squares estimator

Libor Mašíček (2004)

Kybernetika

The present paper deals with least weighted squares estimator which is a robust estimator and it generalizes classical least trimmed squares. We will prove n -consistency and asymptotic normality for any sequence of roots of normal equation for location model. The influence function for general case is calculated. Finally optimality of this estimator is discussed and formula for most B-robust and most V-robust weights is derived.

Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law

Ján Andres, Lubomír Kubáček, Jitka Machalová, Michaela Tučková (2012)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Four formulas of the Menzerath–Altmann law are tested from the point of view of their applicability and suitability. The accuracy of related approximations of measured data is examined by the least square method at first. Then the accuracy of calculated parameters in the formulas under consideration is compared statistically. The influence of neglecting parameter c is investigated as well. Finally, the obtained results are discussed by means of an illustrative example from quantitative linguistics....
