The Estimation of Smooth Curves*
نویسنده
چکیده
Smooth curves a.re often used to illustrate the relationship between two variables. They are also an important building block in many recent statistical models. A procedure to estimate such a curve is called a smoother. This paper discusses currently available smoothers and introduces the class of maximum likelihood smoothers. A variety of other statistical techniques are shown to be applicable to the problem of smoothing, and some idea of the scope of models that can benefit from the use of smoothing is given.

A Berry-Esseen Type Bound for a Smoothed Version of Grenander Estimator
In various statistical model, such as density estimation and estimation of regression curves or hazard rates, monotonicity constraints can arise naturally. A frequently encountered problem in nonparametric statistics is to estimate a monotone density function f on a compact interval. A known estimator for density function of f under the restriction that f is decreasing, is Grenander estimator, ...
متن کاملEstimation of Hydrodynamic Forces on the Cylinderical Smooth Piles to Random Waves and Currents
Most Codes such as API and BSI recommend Morison’s equation to estimate hydrodynamic forces on offshore structures. Significant differences exist among these Codes due to using different methods of analysis and estimation of force coefficients. In this paper, data from full scale tests have been used to evaluate random waves and uniform current actions on the smooth piles. Four time and ...

متن کاملHydro-ethanolic Extract of Portulaca oleracea Affects Beta-adrenoceptors of Guinea Pig Tracheal Smooth Muscle
The stimulatory effect of the extract of Portulaca oleracea (P. olerace) on β-adrenoceptor of tracheal smooth muscle was examined. To examine β-adrenoceptor stimulatory effect, concentration response curve to isoprenaline was obtained in pre-contracted tracheal smooth muscle in the presence of three concentrations of aqueous-ethanolic extract, propranolol and saline. Values of EC50 (the effecti...

By Grothedieck's Anabelian conjectures, Galois representations landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group which are associated to hyperbolic smooth curves defined over number fields encode all arithmetic information of these curves. The goal of this paper is to develope and arithmetic teichmuller theory, by which we mean, introducing arithmetic objects summarizing th...
