Making Inferences about Parameters
ثبت نشده
چکیده
One must know the sampling distribution of the estimator (the statistic used to estimate I shall use to stand for the statistic used to estimate ) to make full use of the estimator. The sampling distribution of a statistic is the distribution that would be obtained if you repeatedly drew samples of a specified size from a specified population and computed on each sample. In other words, it is the probability distribution of a statistic.

Relating Accumulator Model Parameters and Neural Dynamics.
Accumulator models explain decision-making as an accumulation of evidence to a response threshold. Specific model parameters are associated with specific model mechanisms, such as the time when accumulation begins, the average rate of evidence accumulation, and the threshold. These mechanisms determine both the within-trial dynamics of evidence accumulation and the predicted behavior. Cognitive...
متن کاملParametric Estimation in a Recurrent Competing Risks Model
A resource-efficient approach to making inferences about the distributional properties of the failure times in a competing risks setting is presented. Efficiency is gained by observing recurrences of the compet- ing risks over a random monitoring period. The resulting model is called the recurrent competing risks model (RCRM) and is coupled with two repair strategies whenever the system fails. ...
متن کاملSome Statistical Inferences on the Parameters of Records Weibull Distribution Using Entropy
In this paper, we discuss different estimators of the records Weibull distribution parameters and also we apply the Kullback-Leibler divergence of survival function method to estimate record Weibull parameters. Finally, these estimators have been compared using Monte Carlo simulation and suggested good estimators.
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of Between-Group Differences in Variance Components in Hierarchical Generalized Linear Models
Frequentist approaches to making inferences about the variances of random cluster effects in hierarchical generalized linear models (HGLMs) for non-normal variables have several limitations. These include reliance on asymptotic theory, questionable properties of classical likelihood ratio tests when pseudo-likelihood methods are used for estimation, and a failure to account for uncertainty in t...
متن کاملLecture 5 Design of Experiments and Confidence
In this lecture I’d like to discuss some very general considerations having to do with design of experiments, relating them to the linear regression model and eventually to their implications for making inferences about models with elliptical confidence regions. In light of these considerations, it is perhaps useful to review some basic facts about confidence regions for parameters in the class...
متن کاملMaking inferences about muscle forces from clinical observations.
The analysis of movement dysfunction often requires that inferences be made about the muscle forces which occur during motor task performance. Physiotherapists probably use a range of different models of analysis to make inferences about such forces. These models differ in the degree to which they invoke simplifying assumptions about the non-muscle forces acting on body segments. In some circum...
