The Ratio-type Estimators of Variance with Minimum Average Square Error
The ratio-type estimators have been introduced for estimating the mean and total population, but in recent years based on the ratio methods several estimators for population variance have been proposed. In this paper two families of estimators have been suggested and their approximation mean square error (MSE) have been developed. In addition, the efficiency of these variance estimators are com...
متن کاملOn minimum variance thresholding
Variance-based thresholding methods could be biased from the threshold found by expert and the underlying mechanism responsible for this bias is explored in this paper. An analysis on the minimum class variance thresholding (MCVT) and the Otsu method, which minimizes the within-class variance, is carried out. It turns out that the bias for the Otsu method is due to differences in class variance...
متن کاملDerandomizing Variance Estimators
One may consider a discrete-event simulation as a Markov chain evolving on a suitably rich state space. One way that regenerative cycles may be constructed for general state-space Markov chains is to generate auxiliary coinflip random variables at each transition, with a regeneration occurring if the coin-flip results in a success. The regenerative cycles are therefore randomized with respect t...
متن کاملComparison of imputation variance estimators
Appropriate imputation inference requires both an unbiased imputation estimator and an unbiased variance estimator. The commonly used variance estimator, proposed by Rubin, can be biased when the imputation and analysis models are misspecified and/or incompatible. Robins and Wang proposed an alternative approach, which allows for such misspecification and incompatibility, but it is considerably...
متن کاملDerandomizing and Rerandomizing Variance Estimators
This technical report is meant to accompany the paper 7] and should be read in conjunction with that work. It describes several concepts which were alluded to in 7] but not elaborated on. We give algorithms for computing the derandomized estimator, introduce the concept of rerandom-ization, examine heuristically the question of how the derandomized and standard variance estimators behave as the...
