Use of prior information in the form of interval constraints for the improved estimation of linear regression models with some missing responses
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We have considered the estimation of coe cients in a linear regression model when some responses on the study variable are missing and some prior information in the form of lower and upper bounds for the average values of missing responses is available Employing the mixed regression framework we have presented ve estimators for the vector of regression coe cients Their exact as well as asymptotic properties are discussed and superiority of one estimator over the other is examined

Bayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملA New Method for Solving the Fully Interval Bilevel Linear Programming Problem with Equal Constraints
Most research on bilevel linear programming problem is focused on its deterministic form, in which the coefficients and decision variables in the objective functions and constraints are assumed to be crisp. In fact, due to inaccurate information, it is difficult to know exactly values of coefficients that used to construct a bilevel model. The interval set theory is suitable for describing and...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Index-based Regression Model for Soil Moisture Estimation Using MODIS Imageries by Considering Soil Texture Effects
Soil moisture content (SMC) is one of the most significant variables in drought assessment and climate change. Near-real time and accurate monitoring of this quantity by means of remote sensing (RS) is a useful strategy at regional scales. So far, various methods for the SMC estimation using a RS data have been developed. The use of spectral information based on a small range of electromagnetic...

Accurate estimating is one of the most important activities in the field of software project management. Different aspects of software projects must be estimated among which time and effort are of significant importance to efficient project planning. Due to complexity of software projects and lack of information at the early stages of project, reliable effort estimation is a challenging issue. ...
