Bias-Variance Tradeoffs in Recombination Rate Estimation.
In 2013, we and coauthors published a paper characterizing rates of recombination within the 2.1-megabase garnet-scalloped (g-sd) region of the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome. To extract the signal of recombination in our high-throughput sequence data, we adopted a nonparametric smoothing procedure, reducing variance at the cost of biasing individual recombination rates. In doing so, we s...
متن کاملBias - Resolution - Variance Tradeoffs for Single Pixel Estimation Tasks Using the Uniform Cram & - Rao Bound '
Previously we introduced the Uniform Cram&-Rao (CR) Bound as a lower bound on the variance of biased estimators, along with the concept of the delta-sigma tradeoff curve. For an estimator whose variance lies on this curve, lower variance can only be achieved at the price of increased estimator bias gradient norm, and vice versa. However, for single pixel estimation, one can specify a variety of...

For estimators whose variance lie on this curve, lower variance can only be achieved at the price of increased estimator bias gradient norm, and vice versa.

متن کاملExploring estimator bias-variance tradeoffs using the uniform CR bound
We introduce a plane, which we call the delta-sigma plane, that is indexed by the norm of the estimator bias gradient and the variance of the estimator. The norm of the bias gradient is related to the maximum variation in the estimator bias function over a neighborhood of parameter space. Using a uniform Cramer-Rao (CR) bound on estimator variance a delta-sigma tradeo curve is speci ed which de...
متن کاملBias-Variance Tradeoffs Analysis using Uniform CR Bound for Images
We apply a uniform Cramer-Rao (CR) bound [l] to study the bias-variance trade-offs in parameter estimation. The uniform CR bound is used to specify achievable and unachievable regions in the bias-variance trade-off plane. The applications considered in this paper are: 1) twodimensional single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system, and 2) one dimensional edge localization.
