Propagation Models and Fitting Them for the Boolean Random Sets
In order to study the relationship between random Boolean sets and some explanatory variables, this paper introduces a Propagation model. This model can be applied when corresponding Poisson process of the Boolean model is related to explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. An approximation for the likelihood is used to find pseudo-maximum likelihood esti...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood
Empirical likelihood is a technique for forming hypothesis tests and conndence sets based on nonparametric likelihood ratios. Many properties of parametric likelihood ratio functions have nonparametric parallels. The main one is that there is a nonparametric version of Wilks's famous result wherein an asymptotic chisquare distribution holds for the log likelihood ratio. The nonparametric versio...
متن کاملSelf-concordance for empirical likelihood
The usual approach to computing empirical likelihood for the mean uses Newton’s method after eliminating a Lagrange multiplier and replacing the function − log(x) by a quadratic Taylor approximation to the left of 1/n. This paper replaces the quadratic approximation by a quartic. The result is a self-concordant function for which Newton’s method with backtracking has theoretical convergence gua...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Approach and its Application on Survival Analysis
A number of nonparametric methods exist when studying the population and its parameters in the situation when the distribution is unknown. Some of them such as "resampling bootstrap method" are based on resampling from an initial sample. In this article empirical likelihood approach is introduced as a nonparametric method for more efficient use of auxiliary information to construct...
متن کاملLikelihood for random - effect models
For inferences from random-effect models Lee and Nelder (1996) proposed to use hierarchical likelihood (h-likelihood). It allows inference from models that may include both fixed and random parameters. Because of the presence of unobserved random variables h-likelihood is not a likelihood in the Fisherian sense. The Fisher likelihood framework has advantages such as generality of application, s...
