Let be vertices in the -space, each vertex producing several tracks (straight lines) emanating from it within a narrow cone with a small angle about a fixed direction (-axis). Each track is detected (by drift chambers or other detectors) by its projections on and views independently with small errors. An automated method is suggested for the reconstruction of vertices from noisy observations of the tracks projections. The procedure is based on the likelihood inference for mixtures. An illustrative...
The paper studied the problem of estimating of the weights of p objects in n weighings using a chemical balance weighing design under the restriction on the number of objects which can be placed on the right and left pans, respectively. Conditions under which the estimated weights are uncorrelated are given. The incidence matrices of two ternary balanced block designs which are used to construct chemical balance weighing designs satisfying these conditions are considered.
Statistical database protection, also known as Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC), is a part of information security which tries to prevent published statistical information (tables, individual records) from disclosing the contribution of specific respondents. This paper deals with the assessment of the disclosure risk associated to the release of tabular data. So-called sensitivity rules are currently being used to measure the disclosure risk for tables. This rules operate on an a priori basis:...
This study seeks to analyse some important questions related to the Stochastic Frontier Model, such as the method proposed by Jondrow et al (1982) to separate the error term into its two components, and the measure of efficiency given by Timmer (1971). To this purpose, a Monte Carlo experiment has been carried out using the Half-Normal and Normal-Exponential specifications throughout the rank of the γ parameter. The estimation errors have been eliminated, so that the intrinsic variability of the...
Utilizando una información compleja y cualitativa (la escritura de los dos primeros nombres) se presenta un método que permite cuantificar adecuadamente las diferencias entre catorce lenguas europeas construyendo una matriz de distancias. Para realizar el estudio comparativo se emplean dos técnicas de análisis multivariante: el análisis de proximidades ("multidimensional scaling") y el análisis jerárquico de conglomerados ("hierarchical cluster analysis").
The paper presents the stopping rule for random search for Bayesian model-structure estimation by maximising the likelihood function. The inspected maximisation uses random restarts to cope with local maxima in discrete space. The stopping rule, suitable for any maximisation of this type, exploits the probability of finding global maximum implied by the number of local maxima already found. It stops the search when this probability crosses a given threshold. The inspected case represents an important...
