ACD Estimation of the S-parameter Revisited
The analytic continuation by duality (ACD) technique has been used to estimate the electroweak S parameter in technicolor models. In this letter, we investigate the reliability of this method by applying it to some toy models with known spectra. We find that in most instances the technique cannot be trusted to give a reliable result. UCTP–3/97 VPI–IPPAP–97–3 hep–ph/9702440 February 1997
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Astronomy with Poisson - Distributed Data . I . the Χ 2 Γ Statistic
, to determine the weighted mean of data, ni, drawn from a Poisson distribution, will, on average, underestimate the true mean by ∼1 for all true mean values larger than ∼3 when the common assumption is made that the error of the ith observation is σi = max( √ ni, 1). This small, but statistically significant offset, explains the long-known observation that chi-square minimization techniques wh...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Astronomy with Poisson-distributed Data. Ii. the Modified Chi-square-gamma Statistic
I investigate the use of Pearson’s chi-square statistic, the Maximum Likelihood Ratio statistic for Poisson distributions, and the chi-square-gamma statistic (Mighell 1999, ApJ, 518, 380) for the determination of the goodness-of-fit between theoretical models and low-count Poisson-distributed data. I demonstrate that these statistics should not be used to determine the goodness-of-fit with data...
متن کاملThe Telicity Parameter Revisited
The goals of this paper are threefold: First, to review some recent syntactic accounts of cross-linguistic differences in the expression of telicity in Slavic vs. Germanic languages. Second, I will argue that the parametric variation in the encoding of telicity cannot be based on a unidirectional specifier head agreement between the verbal functional head linked to the telicity of the VP and th...
متن کاملA NEW APPROACH FOR PARAMETER ESTIMATION IN FUZZY LOGISTIC REGRESSION
Logistic regression analysis is used to model categorical dependent variable. It is usually used in social sciences and clinical research. Human thoughts and disease diagnosis in clinical research contain vagueness. This situation leads researchers to combine fuzzy set and statistical theories. Fuzzy logistic regression analysis is one of the outcomes of this combination and it is used in situa...
