Lottery Spending: A Non-Parametric Analysis
We analyze the spending of individuals in the United States on lottery tickets in an average month, as reported in surveys. We view these surveys as sampling from an unknown distribution, and we use non-parametric methods to compare properties of this distribution for various demographic groups, as well as claims that some properties of this distribution are constant across surveys. We find tha...
متن کاملStochastic Non-Parametric Frontier Analysis
In this paper we develop an approach that synthesizes the best features of the two main methods in the estimation of production efficiency. Specically, our approach first allows for statistical noise, similar to Stochastic frontier analysis, and second, it allows modeling multiple-inputs-multiple-outputs technologies without imposing parametric assumptions on production relationship, similar to...
متن کاملnon-parametric methods in genetic linkage analysis
one of the most important goals for researchers in the clinic is to try to find newer and more effective ways to diagnose and cure the diseases. these clinical advances can create new points of view in other sciences and their combination with basic sciences such as statistics can improve these researches. in statistical genetics, linkage analysis is a way of finding the exact locus of a diseas...
متن کاملContributions to Parametric and Non-parametric Analysis of Mixed Spectra
The present thesis consists of four parts, all connected to sensor array signal processing in a wide sense. The rst part covers the optimal solution to a commonly occurring matrix optimization problem and the resulting implications for the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) and for spatial and temporal lter design. Non-parametric spectral estimation is covered in the second part. Here, we in...
