Multistage Estimation of Bounded - Variable Means ∗

چکیده
In this paper, we develop a multistage approach for estimating the mean of a bounded variable. We first focus on the multistage estimation of a binomial parameter and then generalize the estimation methods to the case of general bounded random variables. A fundamental connection between a binomial parameter and the mean of a bounded variable is established. Our multistage estimation methods rigorously guarantee prescribed levels of precision and confidence.

متن کاملConfidence Interval for the Mean of a Bounded Random Variable and Its Applications in Point Estimation
In this article, we derive an explicit formula for computing confidence interval for the mean of a bounded random variable. Moreover, we have developed multistage point estimation methods for estimating the mean value with prescribed precision and confidence level based on the proposed confidence interval.
متن کاملA Novel Qualitative State Observer
The state estimation of a quantized system (Q.S.) is a challenging problem for designing feedback control and model-based fault diagnosis algorithms. The core of a Q.S. is a continuous variable system whose inputs and outputs are represented by their corresponding quantized values. This paper concerns with state estimation of a Q.S. by a qualitative observer. The presented observer in this pape...
متن کاملInterval Estimation of Bounded Variable Means via Inverse Sampling ∗
It is a ubiquitous problem to estimate the means of bounded random variables. Specially, the problem of estimating the probability of an event can be formulated as the estimation of the mean of a Bernoulli variable. Moreover, in many applications, one needs to estimate a quantity μ which can be bounded in [0, 1] after proper operations of scaling and translation. A typical approach is to design...
