A robust approach to reference interval estimation and evaluation.
We propose a new methodology for the estimation of reference intervals for data sets with small numbers of observations or for those with substantial numbers of outliers. We propose a prediction interval that uses robust estimates of location and scale. The SAS software can be readily modified to do these calculations. We compared four reference interval procedures (nonparametric, transformed, ...
متن کاملImproved reference-interval estimation.
We used two standard methods (the common percentile and the log-power gaussian transformation) and two novel methods (weighted percentile and smoothed spline interpolation) to estimate the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of 1000 sets of data from eight diverse distributional forms, generated by Monte Carlo simulation. For each distributional form we derived an estimate of optimal performance. Alth...

15 صفحه اولa benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds
uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...

abstract previous studies on willingness to communicate (wtc) have shown the influence of many individual or situational factors on students’ tendency to engage in classroom communication, in which wtc has been viewed either at the trait-level or situational level. however, due to the complexity of the notion of willingness to communicate, the present study suggests that these two strands are ...
