A non-parametric framework for estimating threshold limit values
BACKGROUND To estimate a threshold limit value for a compound known to have harmful health effects, an 'elbow' threshold model is usually applied. We are interested on non-parametric flexible alternatives. METHODS We describe how a step function model fitted by isotonic regression can be used to estimate threshold limit values. This method returns a set of candidate locations, and we discuss ...
متن کاملDetection threshold for non-parametric estimation
A new threshold is presented for better estimating a signal by sparse transform and soft thresholding. This threshold derives from a non-parametric statistical approach dedicated to the detection of a signal with unknown distribution and unknown probability of presence in independent and additive white Gaussian noise. This threshold is called the detection threshold and is particularly appropri...
متن کاملNon-parametric adjustment for covariates when estimating a treatment effect
We consider a non-parametric model for estimating the effect of a binary treatment on an outcome variable while adjusting for an observed covariate. A naive procedure consists in performing two separate non-parametric regression of the response on the covariate: one with the treated individuals and the other with the untreated. The treatment effect is then obtained by taking the difference betw...
متن کاملA new non-parametric approach for suppliers selection
In this paper we propose a simple non-parametric model for multiple crite-ria supplier selection problem. The proposed model does not generate a zeroweight for a certain criterion and ranks the suppliers without solving the modeln times (one linear programming (LP) for each supplier) and therefore allowsthe manager to get faster results. The methodology is illustrated using anexample.
متن کاملParametric versus Non-parametric Complex-values Image Analysis
The paper dwells into the comparison of parametric and non-parametric complex-valued 2D signal analysis, focusing the attention on complex-valued sub-meter SAR image data. The work is based on the study carried out in [1][2], [3][4] and [5]. In [1][2] a parametric Gauss-Markov Random Field (GMRF) model has been proposed for texture analysis and in [3][4] a time-frequency analysis (TFA) method h...
