Network Structure and Biased Variance Estimation in Respondent Driven Sampling
This paper explores bias in the estimation of sampling variance in Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS). Prior methodological work on RDS has focused on its problematic assumptions and the biases and inefficiencies of its estimators of the population mean. Nonetheless, researchers have given only slight attention to the topic of estimating sampling variance in RDS, despite the importance of varianc...
متن کاملChange–Point Estimation Under Adaptive Sampling
We study change–point estimation using a two–stage (generalizable to multi–stage) sampling design in a regression setting Y = f(X) + 2. For the talk, the underlying regression function is assumed to be parametrically specified, with a single unknown jump discontinuity of interest. The experimenter is given a budget of n points to make inference on the change–point. The two–stage procedure works...
متن کاملComparative Estimation of Genetic Diversity in Population Studies using Molecular Sampling and Traditional Sampling Methods
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are efficient biological pest control agents. Population genetics studies on EPN are seldom known. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the significance of molecular sampling method (MSM) for accuracy, time needed, and cost effectiveness over traditional sampling method (TSM). The study was conducted at the Mohican Hills golf course at the state of Ohio wher...
متن کاملSpecies-genetic diversity correlations in habitat fragmentation can be biased by small sample sizes.
Predicted parallel impacts of habitat fragmentation on genes and species lie at the core of conservation biology, yet tests of this rule are rare. In a recent article in Ecology Letters, Struebig et al. (2011) report that declining genetic diversity accompanies declining species diversity in tropical forest fragments. However, this study estimates diversity in many populations through extrapola...
متن کاملSome Asymptotic Results of Kernel Density Estimator in Length-Biased Sampling
In this paper, we prove the strong uniform consistency and asymptotic normality of the kernel density estimator proposed by Jones [12] for length-biased data.The approach is based on the invariance principle for the empirical processes proved by Horváth [10]. All simulations are drawn for different cases to demonstrate both, consistency and asymptotic normality and the method is illustrated by ...
