Generalized Maximum Entropy Estimators: Applications to the Portland Cement Dataset
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider the linear regression model y = X + u in the usual notation. In many applications the design matrix X is frequently subject to severe multicollinearity. In this paper an alternative estimation methodology, maximum entropy is given and used to estimate the parameters in a linear regression model when the basic data are ill-conditioned. We described the generalized maximum entropy (GME) estimator, imposing sign restrictions of parameters and imposing cross parameter restrictions for GME. Mean squared error (mse) values of the estimators are estimated by the bootstrap method. We compared the generalized maximum entropy (GME) estimator, least squares and inequality restricted least squares (IRLS) estimator on the widely analyzed dataset on Portland cement.

The quality of cement is one of the important factors which materially contribute to the strength and durability of structural concrete. Different brands of Portland cement are used in Libya by local contractors for various construction work. However, no comparative study has been made undertaken hitherto to investigate the mechanical and physical properties of the various brands of cement. Thi...
متن کاملAdmissible Estimators of ?r in the Gamma Distribution with Truncated Parameter Space
In this paper, we consider admissible estimation of the parameter ?r in the gamma distribution with truncated parameter space under entropy loss function. We obtain the classes of admissible estimators. The result can be applied to estimation of parameters in the normal, lognormal, pareto, generalized gamma, generalized Laplace and other distributions.

Nadarajah and Haghighi (2011) introduced a new generalization of the exponential distribution as an alternative to the gamma, Weibull and exponeniated exponential distributions. In this paper, a generalization of the Nadarajah– Haghighi (NH) distribution namely exponentiated generalized NH distribution is introduced and discussed. The properties and applications of proposed model to real dat...
متن کاملGeneralized Maximum Entropy Estimation of Spatial Autoregressive Models
We formulate generalized maximum entropy estimators for the general linear model and the censored regression model when there is first order spatial autoregression in the dependent variable and residuals. Monte Carlo experiments are provided to compare the performance of spatial entropy estimators in small and medium sized samples relative to classical estimators. Finally, the estimators are ap...
