ESTIMATORS BASED ON FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES AND THEIR MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES
In statistical inference, the point estimation problem is very crucial and has a wide range of applications. When, we deal with some concepts such as random variables, the parameters of interest and estimates may be reported/observed as imprecise. Therefore, the theory of fuzzy sets plays an important role in formulating such situations. In this paper, we rst recall the crisp uniformly minimum ...
متن کاملEfficient Hellinger distance estimates for semiparametric models
Minimum distance techniques have become increasingly important tools for solving statistical estimation and inference problems. In particular, the successful application of the Hellinger distance approach to fully parametric models is well known. The corresponding optimal estimators, known as minimum Hellinger distance estimators, achieve efficiency at the model density and simultaneously posse...
متن کاملEstimation of Parameters for an Extended Generalized Half Logistic Distribution Based on Complete and Censored Data
This paper considers an Extended Generalized Half Logistic distribution. We derive some properties of this distribution and then we discuss estimation of the distribution parameters by the methods of moments, maximum likelihood and the new method of minimum spacing distance estimator based on complete data. Also, maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters based on Type-I and Typ...
متن کاملCalibration Weighting to Compensate for Extreme Values, Non-response and Non-coverage in Labor Force Survey
Frame imperfection, non-response and unequal selection probabilities always affect survey results. In order to compensate for the effects of these problems, Devill and Särndal (1992) introduced a family of estimators called calibration estimators. In these estimators we look for weights that have minimum distance with design weights based on a distance function and satisfy calibration equa...
متن کاملStatistical inference for DEA estimators of directional distances
In productivity and efficiency analysis, the technical efficiency of a production unit is measured through its distance to the efficient frontier of the production set. The most familiar non-parametric methods use Farrell-Debreu, Shephard, or hyperbolic radial measures. These approaches require that inputs and outputs be non-negative, which can be problematic when using financial data. Recently...
متن کاملM-estimators as GMM for Stable Laws Discretizations
This paper is devoted to "Some Discrete Distributions Generated by Standard Stable Densities" (in short, Discrete Stable Densities). The large-sample properties of M-estimators as obtained by the "Generalized Method of Moments" (GMM) are discussed for such distributions. Some corollaries are proposed. Moreover, using the respective results we demonstrate the large-sample pro...
