Estimation of Noise-Free Variance to Measure Heterogeneity
Variance is a statistical parameter used to characterize heterogeneity or variability in data sets. However, measurements commonly include noise, as random errors superimposed to the actual value, which may substantially increase the variance compared to a noise-free data set. Our aim was to develop and validate a method to estimate noise-free spatial heterogeneity of pulmonary perfusion using ...
متن کاملEstimation of Variance of Normal Distribution using Ranked Set Sampling
Introduction In some biological, environmental or ecological studies, there are situations in which obtaining exact measurements of sample units are much harder than ranking them in a set of small size without referring to their precise values. In these situations, ranked set sampling (RSS), proposed by McIntyre (1952), can be regarded as an alternative to the usual simple random sampling ...
متن کاملVariance function estimation in multivariate nonparametric regression with fixed design
Variance function estimation in multivariate nonparametric regression is considered and the minimax rate of convergence is established in the iid Gaussian case. Our work uses the approach that generalizes the one used in [A. Munk, Bissantz, T. Wagner, G. Freitag, On difference based variance estimation in nonparametric regression when the covariate is high dimensional, J. R. Stat. Soc. B 67 (Pa...
متن کاملFree ( Almost ) Variance Insurance ∗
The expected returns of short maturity options are large and negative, implying a negative variance risk premium. We find that the magnitude of this negative risk premium is monotonically decreasing with option maturity. The risk premium becomes insignificant for maturities beyond 6 months and the cost to insure the variance risk using long maturity options is 6 bps per month. In the context of...
متن کاملEstimation in High - Dimensional Linear Models with Deterministic Design Matrices
Because of the advance in technologies, modern statistical studies often encounter linear models with the number of explanatory variables much larger than the sample size. Estimation and variable selection in these high-dimensional problems with deterministic design points is very different from those in the case of random covariates, due to the identifiability of the high-dimensional regressio...
