Averaged Instrumental Variables Estimators
We develop averaged instrumental variables estimators as a way to deal with many weak instruments. We propose a weighted average of the preliminary k-class estimators, where each estimator is obtained using different subsets of the available instrumental variables. The averaged estimators are shown to be consistent and to satisfy asymptotic normality. Furthermore, its approximate mean squared e...
متن کاملCancer Recognition from Dna Microarray Gene Expression Data Using Averaged One- Dependence Estimators
Cancer is a major leading cause of death and responsible for around 13% of all deaths world-wide. Cancer incidence rate is growing at an alarming rate in the world. Despite the fact that cancer is preventable and curable in early stages, the vast majority of patients are diagnosed with cancer very late. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to prevent and detect cancer early. Nonetheless, co...
متن کاملAveraged One-Dependence Estimators: Preliminary Results
Naive Bayes is a simple, computationally efficient and remarkably accurate approach to classification learning. These properties have led to its wide deployment in many online applications. However, it is based on an assumption that all attributes are conditionally independent given the class. This assumption leads to decreased accuracy in some applications. AODE overcomes the attribute indepen...
متن کاملCalculating Sample Size Estimates for RNA Sequencing Data
BACKGROUND Given the high technical reproducibility and orders of magnitude greater resolution than microarrays, next-generation sequencing of mRNA (RNA-Seq) is quickly becoming the de facto standard for measuring levels of gene expression in biological experiments. Two important questions must be taken into consideration when designing a particular experiment, namely, 1) how deep does one need...
متن کاملUnderstanding pooled subjective probability estimates
Decision makers often must pool probability estimates from multiple experts before making a choice. Such pooling sometimes improves accuracy and other times diagnosticity. This article uses a cognitive model of the judge and the decision maker’s classification of the information to explain why. Given a very weak model of the judge, the important factor is the degree to which their information b...
