ABSTRACTThe article suggests a class of estimators of population mean in stratified random sampling using auxiliary information with its properties. In addition, various known estimators/classes of estimators are identified as members of the suggested class. It has been shown that the suggested class of estimators under optimum condition performs better than the usual unbiased, usual combined ratio, usual combined regression, Kadilar and Cingi (2005), Singh and Vishwakarma (2006) estimators and the members belonging to the classes of estimators envisaged by Kadilar and Cingi (2003), Singh, Tailor et al. (2008), Singh et al. (2009), Singh and Vishwakarma (2010) and Koyuncu and Kadilar (2010). 相似文献

Here, we consider wavelet based estimation of the derivatives of a probability density function under random sampling from a weighted distribution and extend the results regarding the asymptotic convergence rates under the i.i.d. setup studied in Prakasa Rao (1996) to the biased-data setup. We compare the performance of the wavelet based estimator with that of the kernel based estimator obtained by differentiating the Efromovich (2004) kernel density estimator through a simulation study. 相似文献

ABSTRACTFor a trivariate distribution, an efficient family of estimators of median of study variable using the known information on the auxiliary variables has been proposed under two-phase sampling design. The expressions for bias and its mean square error have been obtained up to first order of approximation. It has been shown that the proposed estimator has smaller bias as compared to estimator defined by Singh et al. (2006) with the same efficiency. The results have also been illustrated numerically by taking data from different populations considered in literature. 相似文献

In this paper we introduce a new measure for the analysis of association in cross-classifications having ordered categories. Association is measured in terms of the odd-ratios in 2 × 2 subtables formed from adjacent rows and adjacent columns. We focus our attention in the uniform association model. Our measure is based in the family of divergences introduced by Burbea and Rao [1]. Some well-known sets of data are reanalyzed and a simulation study is presented to analyze the behavior of the new families of test statistics introduced in this paper. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis paper proposes an alternative two-stage stratified randomized response model based on Tracy and Osahan (1999) model that has an optimal allocation and large gain in precision. It is also shown that the proposed model is more efficient than Kim and Warde (2004) and Kim and Elam (2005) stratified randomized response models under the conditions presented in both the cases of completely truthful reporting and that of not completely truthful reporting by the respondents. Numerical illustrations and graphs are also given in support of the present study. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis article considers inference for partial linear models with right censored data. We use empirical likelihood based on the Buckley and James (1979) estimating equation to derive the confidence region for the regression parameter. We introduce an adjusted empirical likelihood ratio statistic for the parameter of interest and show that its limiting distribution is standard chi-square. A simulation is carried out to compare our method with the synthetic data approach in Wang and Li (2002). 相似文献

In some real situations the population of interest is divided into two groups, of which one contains only a few units. In other cases, the population may be considered as subdivided into two group', for example, if only a few units display a value of the variable of interest which is highly different from zero, while all the other units show a value equal to or near zero. In both cases, inverse sampling is more efficient than classical fixed sample-size designs to obtain the parameter estimators for the whole population as well as for its groups (e.g., Salehi and Seber, 2004). In fact, in this design the procedure selection continues until a prefixed number of units with the characteristic of interest is sampled. Since it is not known a priori to which group the population units belong, the sample size is a random variable. Christman and Lan (2001) and Salehi and Seber (2001 2004) considered inverse sampling designs when all the population units have equal selection probabilities. In this article, we consider the general case in which the units may have unequal probabilities of being included in the sample. In fact, in many real situations different units may have different selection probabilities because of some inherent features of the sampling procedure, or in order to obtain better estimates. We derive unbiased estimators of the totals of the two groups, their variance and the corresponding unbiased variance estimators in inverse sampling with replacement. Finally, we derive similar results for more complex designs, where the selection procedure stops before observing the prefixed number of units from the rare group. 相似文献

Kadilar and Cingi (2005) have suggested a new ratio estimator in stratified sampling. The efficiency of this estimator is compared with the traditional combined ratio estimator on the basis of mean square error (MSE). We propose another estimator by utilizing a simple transformation introduced by Bedi (1996). The proposed estimator is found to be more efficient than the traditional combined ratio estimator as well as the Kadilar and Cingi (2005) ratio estimator. 相似文献

ABSTRACTIn this article, a new “Partial” randomized response model has been proposed. Its properties are studied both theoretically and empirically. The proposed model is proved to be more efficient than the randomized response models studied by Eichhorn and Hayre (1983) and the “Partial” randomized response model. 相似文献

In this article, designs are found for which the F-test of analysis of variance is insensitive to violation of normality assumption. Atiqullah (1962) proved that the F-test for treatments adjusting for blocks in the intra-block analysis of a balanced incomplete block design is robust against non-normality in the observations. Here an attempt has been made to identify other designs robust in this sense. In particular, it is observed that for testing relevant hypothesis, a partially balanced incomplete block design in block design setup, under certain conditions, is robust. Robustness of a balanced treatment incomplete block design and a partially balanced treatment incomplete block design (Biswas, 2012), in treatment-control design setup, is also studied. Moreover, a new measure of robustness is introduced for further study. The performance of the F-test in presence of non-normality in the observations for a quadratically balanced design is also examined. 相似文献

This paper is the generalization of weight-fused elastic net (Fu and Xu, 2012), which performs group variable selection by combining weight-fused LASSO(wfLasso) and elastic net (Zou and Hastie, 2005) penalties. In this study, the elastic net penalty is replaced by adaptive elastic net penalty (AdaEnet) (Zou and Zhang, 2009), and a new group variable selection algorithm with oracle property (Fan and Li, 2001; Zou, 2006) is obtained. 相似文献

This article suggests an improved class of estimators under the general framework of two-phase sampling scheme in presence of two auxiliary variables. This class includes a large number of estimators (Chand, 1975; Kiregyera, 1980, 3; Mukharjee et al., 1987) and also the class of estimators suggested by Sahoo et al. (1993). 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the problem of estimating the population mean on the current occasion in two occasion successive sampling. Based on all the readily available information from first and second occasions, a class of estimators is proposed with its properties. It is identified that the estimator recently suggested by Singh and Homa (Journal of Statistical Theory and Practice, 7: 1, 146–155, 2013) is a member of the suggested class of estimators. The correct expression of the mean squared error/variance of the Singh and Homa (2013) estimator is given. The superiority of the suggested class of estimators is discussed with the sample mean estimator when there is no matching, the best combined estimator given in Cochran (1977, p.346) and Singh and Homa (2013) estimator. Optimum replacement policy has been discussed. Numerical illustration is given in support of the present study. 相似文献

In this article, we consider fitting a semiparametric linear model to survey data with censored observations. The specific goal of the paper is to extend the methods of Cheng et al. (1995) and Chen et al. (2002) to the case when the sample has been drawn from a population using a complex sampling design. Similar to the approach of Lin (2000), we regard the survey population as a random sample from an infinite universe and accounts for this randomness in the statistical inference. A simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed estimators. 相似文献

The concept of inclusion probability proportional to size sampling plans excluding adjacent units separated by at most a distance of m (≥ 1) units {IPPSEA plans} is introduced. IPPSEA plans ensure that the first-order inclusion probabilities of units are proportional to size measures of the units, while the second-order inclusion probabilities are zero for pairs of adjacent units separated by a distance of m units or less. IPPSEA plans have been obtained by making use of binary, proper, and unequireplicated block designs and linear programing approach. The performance of IPPSEA plans using Horvitz–Thompson estimator of population total has been compared with existing sampling plans such as simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR), balanced sampling plans excluding adjacent units {BSA (m) plans}, probability proportional to size with replacement, Hartley and Rao's plan (1962), Rao et al.'s strategy (1962), and Sampford's IPPS plan (1967) using a real life population. Unbiased estimation of Horvitz–Thompson estimator of population total is not possible in these types of plans because some of the second-order inclusion probabilities are zero. To resolve this problem, one approximate variance estimation technique has been suggested. 相似文献

ABSTRACTIn this article, we propose an approach for incorporating continuous and discrete original outcome distributions into the usual exponential family regression models. The new approach is an extension of the works of Suissa (1991) and Suissa and Blais (1995), which present methods to estimate the risk of an event defined in a sample subspace of an original continuous outcome variable. Simulation studies are presented in order to illustrate the performance of the developed methodology. Real data sets are analyzed by using the proposed models. 相似文献

In this article, the complete moment convergence of weighted sums for ?-mixing sequence of random variables is investigated. By applying moment inequality and truncation methods, the equivalent conditions of complete moment convergence of weighted sums for ?-mixing sequence of random variables are established. These results promote and improve the corresponding results obtained by Li et al. (1995) and Gut (1993) from i.i.d. to ?-mixing setting. Moreover, we obtain the complete moment convergence of moving average processes based on ?-mixing random variables, which extends the result of Kim et al. (2008) in the sense that it does not require a specific mixing rate. 相似文献

This paper aimed at providing an efficient new unbiased estimator for estimating the proportion of a potentially sensitive attribute in survey sampling. The suggested randomization device makes use of the means, variances of scrambling variables, and the two scalars lie between “zero” and “one.” Thus, the same amount of information has been used at the estimation stage. The variance formula of the suggested estimator has been obtained. We have compared the proposed unbiased estimator with that of Kuk (1990) and Franklin (1989), and Singh and Chen (2009) estimators. Relevant conditions are obtained in which the proposed estimator is more efficient than Kuk (1990) and Franklin (1989) and Singh and Chen (2009) estimators. The optimum estimator (OE) in the proposed class of estimators has been identified which finally depends on moments ratios of the scrambling variables. The variance of the optimum estimator has been obtained and compared with that of the Kuk (1990) and Franklin (1989) estimator and Singh and Chen (2009) estimator. It is interesting to mention that the “optimum estimator” of the class of estimators due to Singh and Chen (2009) depends on the parameter π under investigation which limits the use of Singh and Chen (2009) OE in practice while the proposed OE in this paper is free from such a constraint. The proposed OE depends only on the moments ratios of scrambling variables. This is an advantage over the Singh and Chen (2009) estimator. Numerical illustrations are given in the support of the present study when the scrambling variables follow normal distribution. Theoretical and empirical results are very sound and quite illuminating in the favor of the present study. 相似文献

Baker (2008) introduced a new class of bivariate distributions based on distributions of order statistics from two independent samples of size n. Lin and Huang (2010) discovered an important property of Baker’s distribution and showed that the Pearson’s correlation coefficient for this distribution converges to maximum attainable value, i.e., the correlation coefficient of the Fréchet upper bound, as n increases to infinity. Bairamov and Bayramoglu (2013) investigated a new class of bivariate distributions constructed by using Baker’s model and distributions of order statistics from dependent random variables, allowing higher correlation than that of Baker’s distribution. In this article, a new class of Baker’s type bivariate distributions with high correlation are constructed based on distributions of order statistics by using an arbitrary continuous copula instead of the product copula. 相似文献

We study kernel density estimator from the ranked set samples (RSS). In the kernel density estimator, the selection of the bandwidth gives strong influence on the resulting estimate. In this article, we consider several different choices of the bandwidth and compare their asymptotic mean integrated square errors (MISE). We also propose a plug-in estimator of the bandwidth to minimize the asymptotic MISE. We numerically compare the MISE of the proposed kernel estimator (having the plug-in bandwidth estimator) to its simple random sampling counterpart. We further propose two estimators for a symmetric distribution, and show that they outperform in MISE all other estimators not considering symmetry. We finally apply the methods in this article to analyzing the tree height data from Platt et al. (1988) and Chen et al. (2003). 相似文献
