ESTIMATION OF WBLSON PARAMETERS

Estimation of Parameters

The main purpose of statistical inference is 1. to estimate the parameters(the quantities that represent a particular characteristic of a population) on the basis of sample observations through a statistic ( a function of sample values which does not involve any parameter). (Theory of Estimation). 2. to compare these parameters among themselves on the basis of observations and their estimates (...

Estimation of Genetic Parameters

Estimation of Genetic Parameters

In animal breeding, knowledge of the genetic properties of the traits we are interested in is the first prerequisite in establishing a selection programme. Unless we are concerned with traits controlled by single or few genes, in which case we are generally more interested in gene frequencies, estimation of genetic parameters is synonymous with the estimation of variance components. In this con...

Estimation of Biological Parameters

We identified cases where the Jolly-Seber estimator of population size is biased under tag loss and tag-induced mortality by examining the mathematical arguments and performing computer simulations. We found that, except under certain tag-loss models and high sample sizes, the population size estimators (uncorrected for tag loss) are severely biased high when tag loss or tag-induced mortality o...

Estimation of Articulatory Parameters

This paper presents our research work of estimating articulatory states and model parameters from speech acoustics. This work represents a prerequisite for a speech recognition system based on articulatory dynamical models. The model parameter estimation was based on the vowels obtained from 590 sentences of 59 speakers from TIMIT speech database, whereas the state estimation experiments have b...
