Unbiasedness of the Likelihood Ratio Testfor Lattice Conditional Independence Models
The lattice conditional independence (LCI) model N(C)<) is defined to be the set of all normal distributions N(O, E) on IR I such that for every pair L, M E 1<, XL and xM are conditionally independent given xLnM (ct , [AP] (1993a)). Here C)< is a ring of subsets (hence a distributive lattice) of the finite index set I such that 0, IE ".K, while for K E 1<, XK is the coordinate projection of x E...
متن کاملUnbiasedness and Bayes Estimators
A simple geometric representation of Bayes and unbiased rules for squared error loss is provided. Some orthogonality relationships between them and the functions they are estimating are proved. Bayes estimators are shown to be behave asymptotically like unbiased estimators.
متن کاملConditional Inference for Possibly Unidenti...ed Structural Equations
The possibility that a structural equation may not be identi...ed casts doubt on the measures of estimator precision that are normally used. We argue that the observed identi...ability test statistic is directly relevant to the precision with which the structural parameters can be estimated, and hence argue that inference in such models should be conditioned on the observed value of that statis...
متن کاملNursing Workloads and Psychological Empowerment in Hospitals: Structural Equations Modeling
Background: The high workload of nurses in hospitals has been identified as a patient safety and worker stress problem. Psychological empowerment is a motivational concept demonstrated in four dimensions: meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact. Objective: This study investigated the relationship between nurses’ workloads and psychological emp...
متن کاملUnbiasedness in Least Quantile Regression
We develop an abstract notion of regression which allows for a non-parametric formulation of unbiasedness. We prove then that least quantile regression is unbiased in this sense even in the heteroscedastic case if the error distribution has a continuous, symmetric, and uni-modal density. An example shows that unbiasedness may break down even for smooth and symmetric but not uni-modal error dist...
