SUR Models applied to an environmental situation with missing data and censored values
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper develops methodology for predicting faecal coliform values in waterways when some of the data are missing, and some of the data are left-censored. Such predictions are important in predicting when bathing is safe in specific areas of Sydney harbor. The approach taken in the paper makes use of spatial information to improve these predictions.

A New Model Selection Test with Application to the Censored Data of Carbon Nanotubes Coating
Model selection of nano and micro droplet spreading can be widely used to predict and optimize of different coating processes such as ink jet printing, spray painting and plasma spraying. The idea of model selection is beginning with a set of data and rival models to choice the best one. The decision making on this set is an important question in statistical inference. Some tests and criteria a...
متن کاملA New Algorithm to Impute the Missing Values in the Multivariate Case
There are several methods to make inferences about the parameters of the sampling distribution when we encounter the missing values and the censored data. In this paper, through the order statistics and the projection theorem, a novel algorithm is proposed to impute the missing values in the multivariate case. Then, the performance of this method is investigated through the simulation studies. ...
متن کاملA Comparative Review of Selection Models in Longitudinal Continuous Response Data with Dropout
Missing values occur in studies of various disciplines such as social sciences, medicine, and economics. The missing mechanism in these studies should be investigated more carefully. In this article, some models, proposed in the literature on longitudinal data with dropout are reviewed and compared. In an applied example it is shown that the selection model of Hausman and Wise (1979, Econometri...
متن کاملTracking Interval for Doubly Censored Data with Application of Plasma Droplet Spread Samples
Doubly censoring scheme, which includes left as well as right censored observations, is frequently observed in practical studies. In this paper we introduce a new interval say tracking interval for comparing the two rival models when the data are doubly censored. We obtain the asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimator under doubly censored data and drive a statistic for testing the ...
متن کاملAccuracy evaluation of different statistical and geostatistical censored data imputation approaches (Case study: Sari Gunay gold deposit)
Most of the geochemical datasets include missing data with different portions and this may cause a significant problem in geostatistical modeling or multivariate analysis of the data. Therefore, it is common to impute the missing data in most of geochemical studies. In this study, three approaches called half detection (HD), multiple imputation (MI), and the cosimulation based on Markov model 2...
