Determining optimal neighborhood size for ecological studies using leave-one-out cross validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We employed a leave-one-out cross validation to determine optimally sized neighborhood. Variations between a single point and the other points within each filter size for all the points in the study area were evaluated, and the mean squared error (MSE) for each filter was calculated. The filter with the lowest MSE was considered as the optimal neighborhood. The method is useful in determining the optimal neighborhood for both geographic and population filters.

Determining optimal value of the shape parameter $c$ in RBF for unequal distances topographical points by Cross-Validation algorithm
Several radial basis function based methods contain a free shape parameter which has a crucial role in the accuracy of the methods. Performance evaluation of this parameter in different functions with various data has always been a topic of study. In the present paper, we consider studying the methods which determine an optimal value for the shape parameter in interpolations of radial basis ...
متن کاملEstimating misclassification error with small samples via bootstrap cross-validation
MOTIVATION Estimation of misclassification error has received increasing attention in clinical diagnosis and bioinformatics studies, especially in small sample studies with microarray data. Current error estimation methods are not satisfactory because they either have large variability (such as leave-one-out cross-validation) or large bias (such as resubstitution and leave-one-out bootstrap). W...

Recent literature has started to explore the use of nonparametric methods to estimate alphas and betas in the conditional CAPM and conditional multifactor models. This paper explores two of the most recent contributions and proposes a third method. Nonparametric estimation of factor modeling involves choosing techniques which are different both technically and in application, but common in the ...
متن کاملExact Performance of CoD Estimators in Discrete Prediction
The coefficient of determination (CoD) has significant applications in genomics, for example, in the inference of gene regulatory networks. We study several CoD estimators, based upon the resubstitution, leave-one-out, cross-validation, and bootstrap error estimators. We present an exact formulation of performance metrics for the resubstitution and leave-one-out CoD estimators, assuming the dis...
