Statistical Inference in Factor Analysis

Procrustean statistical inference of deformations

A two step method has been devised for the statistical inference of deformation changes. In the first step of this method and based on Procrustes analysis of deformation tensors, the significance of the change in a time or space series of deformation tensors is statistically analyzed. In the second step significant change(s) in deformations are localized. In other words, they are assigned to ce...

Review of the Applications of Exponential Family in Statistical Inference

‎In this paper‎, ‎after introducing exponential family and a history of work done by researchers in the field of statistics‎, ‎some applications of this family in statistical inference especially in estimation problem‎,‎statistical hypothesis testing and statistical information theory concepts will be discussed‎.

Statistical Inference in Autoregressive Models with Non-negative Residuals

Normal residual is one of the usual assumptions of autoregressive models but in practice sometimes we are faced with non-negative residuals case. In this paper we consider some autoregressive models with non-negative residuals as competing models and we have derived the maximum likelihood estimators of parameters based on the modified approach and EM algorithm for the competing models. Also,...

Statistical Inference for Efficient Microarchitectural Analysis

The transition to multiprocessors expands the space of viable core designs and requires sophisticated optimization over multiple design metrics. However, microarchitectural design space exploration is often inefficient and ad hoc due to the significant computational costs of hardware simulators. Long simulation times cause designers to subjectively constrain the design space considered. However...
