Comparison of Estimation Methods for Complex Survey Data Analysis

چکیده
Recently structural equation modeling software packages have implemented more accurate statistical methodology for analyzing complex survey data. The computational algorithms however vary across the packages and produce different results even for simple models. In this note we conduct simulation studies to compare the performance of the methods implemented in Mplus and LISREL. The Mplus algorithm produced more accurate results.

Methods for regression analysis in high-dimensional data
By evolving science, knowledge and technology, new and precise methods for measuring, collecting and recording information have been innovated, which have resulted in the appearance and development of high-dimensional data. The high-dimensional data set, i.e., a data set in which the number of explanatory variables is much larger than the number of observations, cannot be easily analyzed by ...
متن کاملComparison of Local and Non-Local Methods in Covariance Matrix Estimation by Using Multi-baseline SAR Interferometry and Height Extraction for Principal Components with Maximum Likelihood Approach
By today, the technology of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (InSAR) has been largely exploited in digital elevation model (DEM) generation and deformation mapping. Conventional InSAR technique exploits two SAR images acquired from slightly different angles, in which the information of elevation and deformation can be captured through processing of the phase difference of the image...
متن کاملImproving the Performance of Bayesian Estimation Methods in Estimations of Shift Point and Comparison with MLE Approach
A Bayesian analysis is used to detect a change-point in a sequence of independent random variables from exponential distributions. In This paper, we try to estimate change point which occurs in any sequence of independent exponential observations. The Bayes estimators are derived for change point, the rate of exponential distribution before shift and the rate of exponential distribution after s...

This paper presents a simple and easy implementable Least Mean Square (LMS) type approach for frequency estimation of three phase power system in an unbalanced condition. The proposed LMS type algorithm is based on a second order recursion for the complex voltage derived from Clarke's transformation which is proved in the paper. The proposed algorithm is real adaptive filter with real parameter...
متن کاملRadiographic Survey of Third Molars Development in Relation to Chronological Age in Iranian Population
Introduction: Age estimation is one of the important issues for treatment planning and determination of patient’s rights in forensic medicine. In spite of various methods which have been introduced for age estimation, there is still no specific practical, non-invasive, and rapid method of age estimation for Iranian population. The aim of this study was to find a precise criteria for age estimat...
