Some variants of minimum disparity estimation
This paper proposes several variants of disparity based inference (Lindsay 1994). We introduce these modifications and explain the motivation behind them. Several of these estimators and tests have attractive efficiency and robustness properties. An extensive numerical and graphical investigation is presented to substantiate the theory developed and demonstrate the small sample properties of th...
متن کاملSmall area estimation using skew normal models
Valmária Rocha da Silva ∗ Fernando Antônio da Silva Moura † Abstract The main aim of this work is to propose two important connected extensions of the Fay and Heriot (1979) area level small area estimation model that might be of practical and theoretical interests. The first extension allows for the sampling error to be non-symmetrically distributed. This is important for the case that the samp...
متن کاملSmall sample bias in MSM estimation of agent-based models
Starting from an agent-based interpretation of the well-known Bass innovation diffusion model, we perform a Montecarlo analysis of the performance of a method of simulated moment (MSM) estimator. We show that nonlinearities of the moments lead to a small bias in the estimates in small populations, although our estimates are consistent and converge to the true values as population size increases...
متن کاملA Joint Framework for Disparity and Surface Normal Estimation
This paper deals with the stereo matching problem, while moving away from the traditional fronto-parallel assumption. We propose an algorithm that provides disparities in accordance with the surface properties of the scene under consideration. To do so, we carry out cooperatively both disparity and surface normal estimations by setting the two tasks in a unified Markovian framework. A novel joi...
متن کاملApplying Bivariate Binomial/Logit Normal Models to Small Area Estimation
The U.S. Census Bureau’s SAIPE (Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates) program estimates poverty for various age groups for states, counties, and school districts of the U.S. We focus here on poverty estimates of school-aged (5-17) children for counties. The corresponding SAIPE production model applies to log transformed direct survey estimates for each county of the number of 5-17 year-olds ...
