Estimators for epidemic alternatives
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce and study the behavior of estimators of changes in the mean value of a sequence of independent random variables in the case of so called epidemic alternatives which is one of the variants of the change point problem. The consistency and the limit distribution of the estimators developed for this situation are shown. Moreover, the classical estimators used for ‘at most change’ are examined for the studied situation.

Comparison of the Gamma kernel and the orthogonal series methods of density estimation
The standard kernel density estimator suffers from a boundary bias issue for probability density function of distributions on the positive real line. The Gamma kernel estimators and orthogonal series estimators are two alternatives which are free of boundary bias. In this paper, a simulation study is conducted to compare small-sample performance of the Gamma kernel estimators and the orthog...
متن کاملA Comparison of Several Robust Estimators for a Finite Population Mean
In survey sampling, ratio and regression estimators are often used to estimate the mean of a finite population. These estimators make use of information on an auxiliary variable that is assumed to be available over the entire population. Generally speaking, the higher the correlation between the response and this auxiliary variable, the more efficient the ratio and regression estimators will be...
متن کاملModerate Deviations of Maximum Likelihood Estimators under Alternatives
Since statistical models are simplifications of reality, it is important in estimation theory to study the behavior of estimators also under distributions (slightly) different from the proposed model. In testing theory, when dealing with test statistics where nuisance parameters are estimated, knowledge of the behavior of the estimators of the nuisance parameters is needed under alternatives to...
متن کاملSample selection and information-theoretic alternatives to GMM
Information-theoretic alternatives to general method of moments (GMM) use over-identifying moments to estimate the data-generating distribution jointly with the parameters of interest. This paper demonstrates how these estimates can be interpreted when the sample is not a random draw from the population of interest. I make explicit the selection probability implied by the empirical likelihood a...
متن کاملNear-optimal max-affine estimators for convex regression
This paper considers least squares estimators for regression problems over convex, uniformly bounded, uniformly Lipschitz function classes minimizing the empirical risk over max-affine functions (the maximum of finitely many affine functions). Based on new results on nonlinear nonparametric regression and on the approximation accuracy of maxaffine functions, these estimators are proved to achie...
