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...

Parallélisation d'une Combinaison des Méthodes de Monte-Carlo et Quasi-Monte-Carlo et Application aux Réseaux de Files d'Attente

Bruno Tuffin, Louis-Marie Le Ny (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

We propose a parallel algorithm which uses both Monte-Carlo and quasi-Monte-Carlo methods. A detailed analysis of this algorithm, followed by examples, shows that the estimator's efficiency is a linear function of the processor number. As a concrete application example, we evaluate performance measures of a multi-class queueing network in steady state.

Parameter estimation in non-linear mixed effects models with SAEM algorithm: extension from ODE to PDE

E. Grenier, V. Louvet, P. Vigneaux (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Parameter estimation in non linear mixed effects models requires a large number of evaluations of the model to study. For ordinary differential equations, the overall computation time remains reasonable. However when the model itself is complex (for instance when it is a set of partial differential equations) it may be time consuming to evaluate it for a single set of parameters. The procedures of population parametrization (for instance using SAEM algorithms) are then very long and in some cases...

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...

Particle approximations of Lyapunov exponents connected to Schrödinger operators and Feynman–Kac semigroups

Pierre Del Moral, L. Miclo (2003)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We present an interacting particle system methodology for the numerical solving of the Lyapunov exponent of Feynman–Kac semigroups and for estimating the principal eigenvalue of Schrödinger generators. The continuous or discrete time models studied in this work consists of N interacting particles evolving in an environment with soft obstacles related to a potential function V . These models are related to genetic algorithms and Moran type particle schemes. Their choice is not unique. We will examine...

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.
