On Asymptotic Properties of Generalized Fiducial Inference for Discretized Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: Most data of which a statistician comes into contact has been rounded off in some manner, i.e., we do not observe X = x but a < X ≤ b. In this paper we investigate theoretical properties of the generalized fiducial distribution introduced in Hannig (2009) for such discretized data. Results are provided for both fixed sample size with increasing precision, and increasing sample size with fixed precision. In particular, we show that under very mild conditions the generalized fiducial distribution for i.i.d. discretized data will always lead to asymptotically correct inference. Resolution of several issues related to non-uniqueness of generalized fiducial distributions is also proposed.

Generalized Fiducial Inference via Discretization
Abstract: In addition to the usual sources of error that have been long studied by statisticians, many data sets have been rounded off in some manner, either by the measuring device or storage on a computer. In this paper we investigate theoretical properties of generalized fiducial distribution introduced in Hannig (2009) for discretized data. Limit theorems are provided for both fixed sample ...
متن کاملOn Generalized
Abstract: In this paper we extend Fisher’s fiducial argument and obtain a generalized fiducial recipe that greatly expands the applicability of fiducial ideas. We do this assuming as little structure as possible. We demonstrate this recipe on many examples of varying complexity. We investigate, by simulation and by theoretical considerations, some properties of the statistical procedures derive...
متن کاملInference for the Type-II Generalized Logistic Distribution with Progressive Hybrid Censoring
This article presents the analysis of the Type-II hybrid progressively censored data when the lifetime distributions of the items follow Type-II generalized logistic distribution. Maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are investigated for estimating the location and scale parameters. It is observed that the MLEs can not be obtained in explicit forms. We provide the approximate maximum likelihood...
متن کاملInference of Several Log-normal Distributions
This research considers several log-normal distributions when variances are heteroscedastic and group sizes are unequal. We proposed fiducial generalized pivotal quantities (FGPQ)-based simultaneous confidence intervals for ratios of the means. We also proved that the constructed confidence intervals have correct asymptotic coverage. Simulation results show that the proposed methods work well. ...
متن کاملEstimation of Parameters for an Extended Generalized Half Logistic Distribution Based on Complete and Censored Data
This paper considers an Extended Generalized Half Logistic distribution. We derive some properties of this distribution and then we discuss estimation of the distribution parameters by the methods of moments, maximum likelihood and the new method of minimum spacing distance estimator based on complete data. Also, maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters based on Type-I and Typ...
