Estimating uncertainty in respondent-driven sampling using a tree bootstrap method.
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a network-based form of chain-referral sampling used to estimate attributes of populations that are difficult to access using standard survey tools. Although it has grown quickly in popularity since its introduction, the statistical properties of RDS estimates remain elusive. In particular, the sampling variability of these estimates has been shown to be much...
متن کاملEstimating averages and detecting trends in water quality data
The estimation of temporal averages and trends are significant elements of elaborating water qualitymanagement strategies. This paper reviews some relativelysimple statistical techniques in the context of shallow lake eutrophication control. The techniques are illustrated by analyzing measurement data from the Lake Balaton region of Hungary.
متن کاملEstimating Uncertainty in Population Growth Rates: Jackknife vs. Bootstrap Techniques
Although per capita rates of increase (r) have been calculated by population biologists for decades, the inability to estimate uncertainty (variance) associated with r values has until recently precluded statistical comparisons of population growth rates. In this study, we used two computerintensive techniques, Jackknifing and Bootstrapping, to estimate bias, standard errors, and sampling distr...
متن کاملEstimating storm discharge and water quality data uncertainty: A software tool for monitoring and modeling applications
Uncertainty estimates corresponding to measured hydrologic and water quality data can contribute to improved monitoring design, decision-making, model application, and regulatory formulation. With these benefits in mind, the Data Uncertainty Estimation Tool for Hydrology and Water Quality (DUET-H/ WQ) was developed from an existing uncertainty estimation framework for small watershed discharge,...
متن کاملA comparison of bootstrap approaches for estimating uncertainty of parameters in linear mixed-effects models.
A version of the nonparametric bootstrap, which resamples the entire subjects from original data, called the case bootstrap, has been increasingly used for estimating uncertainty of parameters in mixed-effects models. It is usually applied to obtain more robust estimates of the parameters and more realistic confidence intervals (CIs). Alternative bootstrap methods, such as residual bootstrap an...
