Correction factors for unbiased, efficient estimation and prediction of biomass from log-log allometric models
Allometric relationships are commonly used to estimate average biomass of trees of a particular size and to predict biomass of individual trees based on an easily measured covariate variable such as stem diameter. They are typically power relationships which, for the purpose of data fitting, are transformed using natural logarithms to convert the model to its linear equivalent. Implementation o...
متن کاملEstimation of a probability with optimum guaranteed confidence in inverse binomial sampling
Sequential estimation of a probability p by means of inverse binomial sampling is considered. For μ1, μ2 > 1 given, the accuracy of an estimator p̂ is measured by the confidence level Pr[p/μ2 ≤ p̂ ≤ pμ1]. The confidence levels c0 that can be guaranteed for p unknown, i.e. such that Pr[p/μ2 ≤ p̂ ≤ pμ1] ≥ c0 for all p ∈ (0, 1), are investigated. It is shown that, within the general class of randomiz...
متن کاملEstimation of Log-Linear-Binomial Distribution with Applications
Log-linear-binomial distribution was introduced for describing the behavior of the sum of dependent Bernoulli random variables. The distribution is a generalization of binomial distribution that allows construction of a broad class of distributions. In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the two parameters of log-linearbinomial distribution by moment and maximum likelihood methods...
متن کاملEfficient importance sampling maximum likelihood estimation of stochastic differential equations
This paper considers ML estimation of a diffusion process observed discretely. Since the exact loglikelihood is generally not available, it must be approximated. We review the most efficient approaches in the literature, and point to some drawbacks. We propose to approximate the loglikelihood using the EIS strategy (Richard and Zhang, 1998), and detail its implementation for univariate homogene...
متن کاملModified signed log-likelihood test for the coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian population
In this paper, we consider the problem of two sided hypothesis testing for the parameter of coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian population. An approach used here is the modified signed log-likelihood ratio (MSLR) method which is the modification of traditional signed log-likelihood ratio test. Previous works show that this proposed method has third-order accuracy whereas the traditi...
