Maximum likelihood estimation of ordered multinomial parameters.
The pool adjacent violator algorithm Ayer et al. (1955, The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 26, 641-647) has long been known to give the maximum likelihood estimator of a series of ordered binomial parameters, based on an independent observation from each distribution (see Barlow et al., 1972, Statistical Inference under Order Restrictions, Wiley, New York). This result has immediate applica...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for the Dirichlet-Multinomial Distribution
In the 1998 paper entitled Large Cluster Results for Two Parametric Multinomial Extra Variation Models, Nagaraj K. Neerchal and Jorge G. Morel developed an approximation to the Fisher information matrix used in the Fisher Scoring algorithm for finding the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the Dirichlet-multinomial distribution. They performed simulation studies comparing the res...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Parameters in the Exponentiated Gumbel Distribution
Abstract: The Exponentiated Gumbel (EG) distribution has been proposed to capture some aspects of the data that the Gumbel distribution fails to specify. In this paper, we estimate the EG's parameters in the Bayesian framework. We consider a 2-level hierarchical structure for prior distribution. As the posterior distributions do not admit a closed form, we do an approximated inference by using ...
متن کاملDetermining the Parameters of a Multinomial Distribution: The Fiducial Approach
A procedure is derived for determining the values of the parameters of a multinomial distribution by means of the fiducial approach proposed by Fisher. By decomposing the involved probability (mass or density) functions, it is shown that the resulting fiducial distributions belong to the Dirichlet family.
متن کاملMinimax Estimation of Linear Combinations of Restricted Location Parameters
Discussion Papers are a series of manuscripts in their draft form. They are not intended for circulation or distribution except as indicated by the author. For that reason Discussion Papers may not be reproduced or distributed without the written consent of the author. The estimation of a linear combination of several restricted location parameters is addressed from a decision-theoretic point o...
