AbstractIn this article, we obtain point and interval estimates of multicomponent stress-strength reliability model of an s-out-of-j system using classical and Bayesian approaches by assuming both stress and strength variables follow a Chen distribution with a common shape parameter which may be known or unknown. The uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator of reliability is obtained analytically when the common parameter is known. The behavior of proposed reliability estimates is studied using the estimated risks through Monte Carlo simulations and comments are obtained. Finally, a data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes. 相似文献

Abstract We study asymptotics of parameter estimates in conditional heteroscedastic models. The estimators considered are those obtained by minimizing certain functionals and those obtained by solving estimation equations. We establish consistency and derive asymptotic limit laws of the estimators. Condition under which the limit law is normal is studied. Further, bootstrap for these estimators is discussed. The limiting distribution of the estimators is not necessary always normal, and we present a real data example to illustrate this. 相似文献

Confidence intervals are constructed for real-valued parameter estimation in a general regression model with normal errors. When the error variance is known these intervals are optimal (in the sense of minimizing length subject to guaranteed probability of coverage) among all intervals estimates which are centered at a linear estimate of the parameter. When the error variance is unknown and the regression model is an approximately linear model (a class of models which permits bounded systematic departures from an underlying ideal model) then an independent estimate of variance is found and the intervals can then be appropriately scaled. 相似文献

Simultaneous robust estimates of location and scale parameters are derived from minimizing a minimum-distance criterion function. The criterion function measures the squared distance between the pth power (p > 0) of the empirical distribution function and the pth power of the imperfectly determined model distribution function over the real line. We show that the estimator is uniquely defined, is asymptotically bivariate normal and for p > 0.3 has positive breakdown. If the scale parameter is known, when p = 0.9 the asymptotic variance (1.0436) of the location estimator for the normal model is smaller than the asymptotic variance of the Hodges-Lehmann (HL)estimator (1.0472). Efficiencies with respect to HL and maximum-likelihood estimators (MLE) are 1.0034 and 0.9582, respectively. Similarly, if the location parameter is known, when p = 0.97 the asymptotic variance (0.6158) of the scale estimator is minimum. The efficiency with respect to the MLE is 0.8119. We show that the estimator can tolerate more corrupted observations at oo than at – for p < 1, and vice versa for p > 1. 相似文献

This article proposes a multivariate control chart, the syn-|S| chart, which comprises a standard |S| subchart and a multivariate synthetic sample generalized variance |S| (synthetic |S|) subchart, for detecting shifts in the covariance matrix of a multivariate normally distributed process. A procedure for the optimal design of the syn-|S| chart by minimizing the average extra quadratic loss is provided. The syn-|S| chart has better overall performance compared to the synthetic |S| chart and the standard |S| chart, based on the zero-state and steady-state modes. An example is given to illustrate the operation of the synthetic |S| chart. 相似文献

AbstractA joint adjustment involves integrating different types of geodetic datasets, or multiple datasets of the same data type, into a single adjustment. This paper applies the weighted total least-squares (WTLS) principle to joint adjustment problems and proposes an iterative algorithm for WTLS joint (WTLS-J) adjustment with weight correction factors. Weight correction factors are used to rescale the weight matrix of each dataset while using the Helmert variance component estimation (VCE) method to estimate the variance components, since the variance components in the stochastic model are unknown. An affine transformation example is illustrated to verify the practical benefit and the relative computational efficiency of the proposed algorithm. It is shown that the proposed algorithm obtains the same parameter estimates as the Amiri-Simkooei algorithm in our example; however, the proposed algorithm has its own computational advantages, especially when the number of data points is large. 相似文献

This paper presents a step-stress accelerated life test for two stress variables to obtain optimal hold times under a Type-I hybrid censoring scheme. An exponentially distributed life and a cumulative exposure model are assumed. The maximum-likelihood estimates are given, from which the asymptotic variance and the Fisher information matrix are obtained. The optimal test plan is determined for each combination of stress levels by minimizing the asymptotic variance of reliability estimate at a typical operating condition. Finally, simulation results are discussed to illustrate the proposed criteria. Simulation results show that the proposed optimum plan is robust, and the initial estimates have a small effect on optimal values. 相似文献

This paper proposes useful exact bounds for the parameters of the double sampling S2 chart with known process variance and it also investigates the properties of the double sampling S2 chart with estimated process variance, in terms of the average run length, the standard deviation of the run length and the average sample size, providing a numerical comparison with the known process variance case. It also provides guidelines to systematically design the double sampling S2 chart both with known and estimated process variance and proposes two optimal design procedures with estimated process variance, for (a) minimizing the out-of-control average run length and (b) minimizing the out-of-control average sample size. 相似文献

In this article we measure the local or infinitesimal sensitivity of a kind of Bayes estimates which appear in bonus–malus systems. Bonus–malus premiums can be viewed as a functional depending on the prior distribution. To measure when small changes in the prior cause large changes in the premium we compute the norm of the Fréchet derivative and propose a simple procedure to decide if a bonus–malus premium is robust. As an application, an example where the risk has a Poisson distribution and its parameter follows a Gamma prior distribution is presented under the net and variance premium principles. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis article considers nonparametric regression problems and develops a model-averaging procedure for smoothing spline regression problems. Unlike most smoothing parameter selection studies determining an optimum smoothing parameter, our focus here is on the prediction accuracy for the true conditional mean of Y given a predictor X. Our method consists of two steps. The first step is to construct a class of smoothing spline regression models based on nonparametric bootstrap samples, each with an appropriate smoothing parameter. The second step is to average bootstrap smoothing spline estimates of different smoothness to form a final improved estimate. To minimize the prediction error, we estimate the model weights using a delete-one-out cross-validation procedure. A simulation study has been performed by using a program written in R. The simulation study provides a comparison of the most well known cross-validation (CV), generalized cross-validation (GCV), and the proposed method. This new method is straightforward to implement, and gives reliable performances in simulations. 相似文献

Typically, an optimal smoothing parameter in a penalized spline regression is determined by minimizing an information criterion,
such as one of the C
p
, CV and GCV criteria. Since an explicit solution to the minimization problem for an information criterion cannot be obtained,
it is necessary to carry out an iterative procedure to search for the optimal smoothing parameter. In order to avoid such
extra calculation, a non-iterative optimization method for smoothness in penalized spline regression is proposed using the
formulation of generalized ridge regression. By conducting numerical simulations, we verify that our method has better performance
than other methods which optimize the number of basis functions and the single smoothing parameter by means of the CV or GCV
criteria. 相似文献

AbstractThe shape parameter of Topp–Leone distribution is estimated in this article from the Bayesian viewpoint under the assumption of known scale parameter. Bayes and empirical Bayes estimates of the unknown parameter are proposed under non informative and suitable conjugate priors. These estimates are derived under the assumption of squared and linear-exponential error loss functions. The risk functions of the proposed estimates are derived in analytical forms. It is shown that the proposed estimates are minimax and admissible. The consistency of the proposed estimates under the squared error loss function is also proved. Numerical examples are provided. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis article argues that researchers do not need to completely abandon the p-value, the best-known significance index, but should instead stop using significance levels that do not depend on sample sizes. A testing procedure is developed using a mixture of frequentist and Bayesian tools, with a significance level that is a function of sample size, obtained from a generalized form of the Neyman–Pearson Lemma that minimizes a linear combination of α, the probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis, and β, the probability of failing to reject a false null, instead of fixing α and minimizing β. The resulting hypothesis tests do not violate the Likelihood Principle and do not require any constraints on the dimensionalities of the sample space and parameter space. The procedure includes an ordering of the entire sample space and uses predictive probability (density) functions, allowing for testing of both simple and compound hypotheses. Accessible examples are presented to highlight specific characteristics of the new tests. 相似文献

New recursive algorithms for fast computation of the normalizing constant for the autologistic model on the lattice make feasible a sample-based maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of the autologistic parameters. We demonstrate by sampling from 12 simulated 420×420 binary lattices with square lattice plots of size 4×4, …, 7×7 and sample sizes between 20 and 600. Sample-based results are compared with ‘benchmark’ MCMC estimates derived from all binary observations on a lattice. Sample-based estimates are, on average, biased systematically by 3%–7%, a bias that can be reduced by more than half by a set of calibrating equations. MLE estimates of sampling variances are large and usually conservative. The variance of the parameter of spatial association is about 2–10 times higher than the variance of the parameter of abundance. Sample distributions of estimates were mostly non-normal. We conclude that sample-based MLE estimation of the autologistic parameters with an appropriate sample size and post-estimation calibration will furnish fully acceptable estimates. Equations for predicting the expected sampling variance are given. 相似文献

ABSTRACTData spanning long time periods, such as that over 1860–2012 for the UK, seem likely to have substantial errors of measurement that may even be integrated of order one, but which are probably cointegrated for cognate variables. We analyze and simulate the impacts of such measurement errors on parameter estimates and tests in a bivariate cointegrated system with trends and location shifts which reflect the many major turbulent events that have occurred historically. When trends or shifts therein are large, cointegration analysis is not much affected by such measurement errors, leading to conventional stationary attenuation biases dependent on the measurement error variance, unlike the outcome when there are no offsetting shifts or trends. 相似文献

The multivariate synthetic generalized sample variance |S| (synthetic |S|) chart is a combination of the |S| sub-chart and the conforming run length sub-chart. A procedure for optimal designs of the synthetic |S| chart, based on the median run length (MRL), for both zero and steady-state modes are provided by minimizing the out-of-control MRL. The comparative results show that the synthetic |S| chart performs better than the standard |S| chart for detecting shifts in the covariance matrix of a multivariate normally distributed process, in terms of the MRL. An example is given to illustrate the operation of the synthetic |S| chart. 相似文献

AbstractThis paper discusses inferential issues related to estimation of offspring mean and variance in a second order branching process, when both the offspring distributions are assumed to have identical mean and variance. Estimating equation approach is used to find the estimator of the offspring mean and the fact that a second order branching process model can be modeled as an autoregressive process is utilized to obtain the estimator of the offspring variance. Both the estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. The second order branching process model is applied to H1N1 data for Pune, India, and Mexico and is found to be a suitable model. The estimates obtained from this model are used to compute the proportion of vaccination required for elimination of the disease. 相似文献

AbstractSliced average variance estimation (SAVE) is one of the best methods for estimating central dimension-reduction subspace in semi parametric regression models when covariates are normal. In recent days SAVE is being used to analyze DNA microarray data especially in tumor classification but most important drawback is normality of covariates. In this article, the asymptotic behavior of estimates of CDR space under varying slice size is studied through simulation studies when covariates are non normal but follows linearity condition as well as when covariates slightly perturbed from normal distribution and we observed that serious error may occur under violation normality assumption. 相似文献

AbstractIn this work, we propose and investigate a family of non parametric quantile regression estimates. The proposed estimates combine local linear fitting and double kernel approaches. More precisely, we use a Beta kernel when covariate’s support is compact and Gamma kernel for left-bounded supports. Finite sample properties together with asymptotic behavior of the proposed estimators are presented. It is also shown that these estimates enjoy the property of having finite variance and resistance to sparse design. 相似文献

ABSTRACTMultivariate Fay-Herriot (MFH) models become popular methods to produce reliable parameter estimates of some related multiple characteristics of interest that are commonly produced from many surveys. This article studies the application of MFH models for estimating household consumption per capita expenditure (HCPE) on food and HCPE of non-food. Both of those associated direct estimates, which are obtained from the National Socioeconomic Surveys conducted regularly by Statistics Indonesia, have a strong correlation. The effects of correlation in MFH models are evaluated by employing a simulation study. The simulation showed that the strength of correlation between variables of interest, instead of the number of domains, plays a prominent role in MFH models. The application showed that MFH models have more efficient than univariate models in terms of standard errors of regression parameter estimates. The roots of mean squared errors (RMSEs) of the estimates obtained from the empirical best linear unbiased prediction (EBLUP) estimators of MFH models are smaller than RMSEs obtained from the direct estimators. Based on MFH model, the HCPE estimates of food by districts in Central Java, Indonesia, are higher than the HCPE estimates of non-food. The average of HCPE estimates of food and non-food in Central Java, Indonesia in 2015 are IDR 383,100.6 and IDR 280,653.6, respectively. 相似文献
