Extrapolation Error

چکیده

Two kinds of error commonly arise in statistical inference. The most common one is sampling error, arising from small samples. The second is the error arising from unrepresentative samples. Such errors occur in curve-fitting examples when the curves are fitted in one domain and used for prediction in another, which might be referred to as an error of extrapolation. The problem with extrapolation is that standard model selection methods, such as classical hypothesis testing, AIC, BIC, do not correct for extrapolation error. Nevertheless, the simple method of judging models by their past success in prediction is shown to perform better in some simulated examples. This paper formulates the question in a precise mathematical terms: When does this method work? There is no precise answer to this question at the present time, even in quite simple contexts.

Modeling of temperature in friction stir welding of duplex stainless steel using multivariate lagrangian methods, linear extrapolation and multiple linear regression

In this study, the temperature in friction stir welding of duplex stainless steel has been investigated. At first, temperature estimation was modeled and estimated at different distances from the center of the stir zone by the multivariate Lagrangian function. Then, the linear extrapolation method and multiple linear regression method were used to estimate the temperature outside the range and ...

Extrapolation and Related Techniques for Solving Ellipticequationsu

Extrapolation is a well-known numerical technique for raising the approximation order. Several variants of extrapolation can be used for elliptic partial diierential equations. The basic algorithmic variants are Richardson extrapolation, truncation error extrapolation and extrapolation of the functional. In multi-dimensional problems the error can be expanded into multivariate polynomials with ...
