MATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Improving on the Maximum Likelihood Estimators of the means in Poisson Decomposable Graphical Models

چکیده
In this article we study the simultaneous estimation of the means in Poisson decomposable graphical models. We derive some classes of estimators which improve on the maximum likelihood estimator under the normalized squared losses. Our estimators are based on the argument in Chou[3] and shrink the maximum likelihood estimator depending on the marginal frequencies of variables forming a complete subgraph of the conditional independence graph.

Change point estimation in the area of statistical process control has received considerable attentions in the recent decades because it helps process engineer to identify and remove assignable causes as quickly as possible. On the other hand, improving in measurement systems and data storage, lead to taking observations very close to each other in time and as a result increasing autocorrelatio...
متن کاملApproximating Bayes Estimates by Means of the Tierney Kadane, Importance Sampling and Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs Methods in the Poisson-Exponential Distribution: A Comparative Study
Here, we work on the problem of point estimation of the parameters of the Poisson-exponential distribution through the Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods based on complete samples. The point Bayes estimates under the symmetric squared error loss (SEL) function are approximated using three methods, namely the Tierney Kadane approximation method, the importance sampling method and the Metrop...
متن کاملSimultaneous Estimation of the Means in Some Poisson Log Linear Models
In this article we study the simultaneous estimation of the means in J-way multiplicative models and a decomposable model for three-way layouts. The estimators which improve on the maximum likelihood estimators under the normalized squared error losses are provided for each model. The proposed estimators correspond to the ones by Clevenson and Zidek[2], Tsui and Press[11] and Chou[1].
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Iterative proportional scaling via decomposable submodels for contingency tables
We propose iterative proportional scaling (IPS) via decomposable submodels for maximizing likelihood function of a hierarchical model for contingency tables. In ordinary IPS the proportional scaling is performed by cycling through the elements of the generating class of a hierarchical model. We propose to adjust more marginals at each step. This is accomplished by expressing the generating clas...
متن کاملModified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
