Inference for constrained estimation of tumor size distributions.
SUMMARY In order to develop better treatment and screening programs for cancer prevention programs, it is important to be able to understand the natural history of the disease and what factors affect its progression. We focus on a particular framework first outlined by Kimmel and Flehinger (1991, Biometrics, 47, 987-1004) and in particular one of their limiting scenarios for analysis. Using an ...
متن کاملRepeated Record Ordering for Constrained Size Clustering
One of the main techniques used in data mining is data clustering, which has many applications in computer science, biology, and social sciences. Constrained clustering is a type of clustering in which side information provided by the user is incorporated into current clustering algorithms. One of the well researched constrained clustering algorithms is called microaggregation. In a microaggreg...
متن کاملEstimation of Stable Distributions by Indirect Inference
This article deals with the estimation of the parameters of an α-stable distribution by the indirect inference method with the skewed-t distribution as an auxiliary model. The latter distribution appears as a good candidate for an auxiliary model since it has the same number of parameters as the α-stable distribution, with each parameter playing a similar role. To improve the properties of the ...
متن کاملConstrained Nonparametric Kernel Regression: Estimation and Inference
Abstract. Restricted kernel regression methods have recently received much well-deserved attention. Powerful methods have been proposed for imposing monotonicity on the resulting estimate, a condition often dictated by theoretical concerns; see Hall, Huang, Gifford & Gijbels (2001) and Hall & Huang (2001), among others. However, to the best of our knowledge, there does not exist a simple yet ge...
متن کامل-Estimation of Software Size and Effort Distributions
All too frequently, a software cost estimate is required in the early stages of the life-cycle when requirements and design specifications are immature. To produce a cost estimate under these conditions requires extensive use of expert judgment and addressing significant estimation uncertainty. Research has shown that expert judgment under the right conditions can yield relatively "accurate" es...
