Semi-Parametric Specification Tests for Discrete Probability Models
Loss functions play an important role in analyzing insurance portfolios. A fundamental issue in the study of loss functions involves the selection of probability models for claim frequencies. In this article, we propose a semiparametric approach based on the generalized method of moments (GMM) to solve the specification problems concerning claim frequency distributions. The GMM-based testing pr...
متن کاملSemi-parametric specification tests for mixing distributions
We present a semi-parametric method for testing mixing distributions in the mixed Poisson model. The proposed method, which is based on the generalized method of moments, does not demand the complete specification of the probability function but only requires a specification of a set of moment conditions which the model should satisfy. We demonstrate that an explicit expression for moment relat...
متن کاملValidation of drop plate technique for bacterial enumeration by parametric and nonparametric tests
Drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. The objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. For bacterial enumeration...
متن کاملSemi-parametric models for satisfaction with income
An overview is presented of some parametric and semi-parametric models, estimators, and specification tests that can be used to analyze ordered response variables. In particular, limited dependent variable models that generalize ordered probit are compared to regression models that generalize the linear model. These techniques are then applied to analyze how self-reported satisfaction with hous...
متن کاملSemi-parametric Distributional Models for Biometric Fusion
The performance of biometric recognition systems can become limited in operating environments due to the presence of extraneous noise factors. Biometric fusion alleviates this problem by consolidating information from various biometric sources, thereby achieving a higher recognition rate. One challenge faced in fusion is how to optimally combine information originating from the different source...
