Recursive estimates of quantile based on 0-1 observations

Pavel Charamza (1992)

Applications of Mathematics

The objective of this paper is to introduce some recursive methods that can be used for estimating an L D - 50 value. These methods can be used more generally for the estimation of the γ -quantile of an unknown distribution provided we have 0-1 observations at our disposal. Standard methods based on the Robbins-Monro procedure are introduced together with different approaches of Wu or Mukerjee. Several examples are also mentioned in order to demonstrate the usefulness of the methods presented.

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...

Sequential estimation of powers of a scale parameter from delayed observations

Agnieszka Stępień-Baran (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The problem of sequentially estimating powers of a scale parameter in a scale family and in a location-scale family is considered in the case when the observations become available at random times. Certain classes of sequential estimation procedures are derived under a scale invariant loss function and with the observation cost determined by a convex function of the stopping time and the number of observations up to that time.

Sequential estimation of survival functions with a neutral to the right process prior

Domingo Morales, Leandro Pardo, Vicente Quesada (1994)

Applications of Mathematics

In this work, a parametric sequential estimation method of survival functions is proposed in the Bayesian nonparametric context when neutral to the right processes are used. It is proved that the mentioned method is an 1-SLA rule when Dirichlet processes are used; furthermore, asymptotically pointwise optimal procedures are obtained. Finally, an example is given.
