On a distance between estimable functions.

Concepción Arenas Solá (1989)

Qüestiió

In this paper we study the main properties of a distance introduced by C.M. Cuadras (1974). This distance is a generalization of the well-known Mahalanobis distance between populations to a distance between parametric estimable functions inside the multivariate analysis of variance model. Reduction of dimension properties, invariant properties under linear automorphisms, estimation of the distance, distribution under normality as well as the interpretation as a geodesic distance are studied and...

On a linearization of regression models

Lubomír Kubáček (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

An approximate value of a parameter in a nonlinear regression model is known in many cases. In such situation a linearization of the model is possible however it is important to recognize, whether the difference between the actual value of the parameter and the approximate value does not cause significant changes, e.g., in the bias of the estimator or in its variance, etc. Some rules suitable for a solution of this problem are given in the paper.

On admissibility of linear estimators in models with finitely generated parameter space

Ewa Synówka-Bejenka, Stefan Zontek (2016)

Kybernetika

The paper refers to the research on the characterization of admissible estimators initiated by Cohen [2]. In our paper it is proved that for linear models with finitely generated parameter space the limit of a sequence of the unique locally best linear estimators is admissible. This result is used to give a characterization of admissible linear estimators of fixed and random effects in a random linear model for spatially located sensors measuring intensity of a source of signals in discrete instants...

On conditional independence and log-convexity

František Matúš (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

If conditional independence constraints define a family of positive distributions that is log-convex then this family turns out to be a Markov model over an undirected graph. This is proved for the distributions on products of finite sets and for the regular Gaussian ones. As a consequence, the assertion known as Brook factorization theorem, Hammersley–Clifford theorem or Gibbs–Markov equivalence is obtained.

On eliminating transformations for nuisance parameters in multivariate linear model

Pavla Kunderová (2004)

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. We examine eliminating transformations which eliminate the nuisance parameters without loss of information on the useful parameters and on the variance components.

On equivalence problem in linear regression models. I. BLUE of the mean value

Gejza Wimmer (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

There exist many different ways of determining the best linear unbiased estimation of regression coefficients in general regression model. In Part I of this article it is shown that all these ways are numerically equivalent almost everyvhere. In Part II conditions are considered under which all the unbiased estimations of the unknown covariance matrix scalar factor are numerically equivalent almost everywhere.

On estimation of parameters in the bivariate linear errors-in-variables model

Anna Czapkiewicz (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We discuss some methods of estimation in bivariate errors-in-variables linear models. We also suggest a method of constructing consistent estimators in the case when the error disturbances have the normal distribution with unknown parameters. It is based on the theory of estimating variance components in linear models. A simulation study is presented which compares this estimator with the maximum likelihood one.
