Efficient Simulation of a Random Knockout Tournament
We consider the problem of using simulation to efficiently estimate the win probabilities for participants in a general random knockout tournament. Both of our proposed estimators, one based on the notion of “observed survivals” and the other based on conditional expectation and post-stratification, are highly effective in terms of variance reduction when compared to the raw simulation estimato...
متن کاملLinear combinations of overlapping variance estimators for simulation
We estimate the variance parameter of a stationary simulation-generated process using a linear combination of overlapping standardized time series (STS) area variance estimators based on different batch sizes. We establish the linear-combination estimator’s asymptotic distribution, presenting analytical and simulation-based results exemplifying its potential for improvements in accuracy and com...
متن کاملAn Efficiency Studying of an Ion Chamber Simulation Using Vriance Reduction Techniques with EGSnrc
Background: Radiotherapy is an important technique of cancer treatment using ionizing radiation. The determination of total dose in reference conditions is an important contribution to uncertainty that could achieve 2%. The source of this uncertainty comes from cavity theory that relates the in-air cavity dose and the dose to water. These correction factors are determined from Monte Carlo calcu...
متن کاملRatio estimators for the population variance in simple and stratified random sampling
We propose some ratio-type variance estimators using ratio estimators for the population mean in literature. We obtain mean square error (MSE) equations of proposed estimators and show that proposed estimators are more efficient than the traditional ratio estimator, suggested by [C.T. Isaki, Variance estimation using auxiliary information, Journal of the American Statistical Association 78 (198...
متن کاملOn the Maximum Likelihood Estimators for some Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution
Abstract. In this paper we consider some four-parametric, so-called Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution, which have been constructed using stochastic Birth-Death Process in order to model phenomena arising in Bioinformatics (Astola and Danielian, 2007). As examples, two ”real data” sets on the number of proteins and number of residues for analyzing such distribution are given. The co...
