Consistent estimation in an implicit quadratic measurement error model
An adjusted least squares estimator is derived that yields a consistent estimate of the parameters of an implicit quadratic measurement error model. In addition, a consistent estimator for the measurement error noise variance is proposed. Important assumptions are: (1) all errors are uncorrelated identically distributed and (2) the error distribution is normal. The estimators for the quadratic ...
متن کاملImplicit Assumptions in Legal Knowledge Systems
n this article we address the issue of implicit assumptions in legal knowledge systems (LKBS). We illustrate that LKBSs have many underlying assumptions mostly arising during the design process. We divide these implicit assumptions over three categories: (1) assumptions about the user, (2) assumptions about the task, and (3) assumptions about the domain. Making assumptions in the design of a LK...
متن کاملImplicit Independence Assumptions ; a Notorious Problem for Genetic
In the last years, genetic algorithms (GAs) have become more and more robust and easy to use. Current knowledge and many successful experiments suggest that the application of GAs is not limited to easy-to-optimize unimodal functions that contain only one optimum. Several results and GA theory give the impression that GAs easily escape from millions of local optima and reliably converge to a si...
متن کاملThe Ellsberg 'Problem' and Implicit Assumptions under Ambiguity
Empirical research has revealed that people try to avoid ambiguity in the Ellsberg problem and make choices inconsistent with the predictions of Expected Utility Theory. We hypothesized that people might be forming implicit assumptions to deal with the ambiguity resulting from the incomplete information in the problem, and that some assumptions might lead them to deviate from normative predicti...
متن کاملIranian TEFL Graduates’ Conceptions of Measurement Error in Research: A Genealogical Narrative Inquiry
The aim of this study is to investigate Iranian TEFL graduates’ conception of measurement error in research. Adopting a sequential explanatory multi-method strategy (Borg, 2009), the researchers analyzed causal and temporal relations in the research narratives elicited from 30 TEFL graduates. Gee’s (1986) framework for identifying narrative discourse units (lines, stanzas, and episodes) was ado...
