Variance adaptive shrinkage (vash): flexible empirical Bayes estimation of variances
MOTIVATION Genomic studies often involve estimation of variances of thousands of genes (or other genomic units) from just a few measurements on each. For example, variance estimation is an important step in gene expression analyses aimed at identifying differentially expressed genes. A common approach to this problem is to use an Empirical Bayes (EB) method that assumes the variances among gene...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...

متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation of Reliability
Assessment of the reliability of various types of equipment relies on statistical inference about characteristics of reliability such as reliability function, mean lifetime of the devices, or failure rate. General techniques of statistical inference (estimation and hypotheses testing) are reviewed in Estimation; Least-Squares Estimation; Maximum Likelihood; Nonparametric Tests; Hypothesis Testi...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Methods for Discrete Event Simulation Performance Measure Estimation
Discrete event simulation (DES) is a widely-used operational research methodology facilitating the analysis of complex real-world systems. Although, generally speaking, simplicity is greatly desirable in DES modelling applications, in many cases the nature of the underlying system results in simulation models which are large in scale, complex, and expensive to run. As such, the careful design a...
