Accurate Quantification of Variance Error

چکیده
This paper accurately quantifies the way in which noise induced estimation errors are dependent on model structure, underlying system frequency response, measurement noise and input excitation. This exposes several new principles. In particular, it is shown here that when employing Output–Error model structures in a prediction-error framework, then the ensuing estimate variability in the frequency domain depends on the underlying system pole positions. As well, it is also established that the variability is affected by the choice of model structure, in that it is twice as much when system poles are estimated as when they are a-priori known and fixed, even though the model order is the same in both cases. These results are unexpected according to pre-existing theory.

Estimation of Variance of Normal Distribution using Ranked Set Sampling
Introduction In some biological, environmental or ecological studies, there are situations in which obtaining exact measurements of sample units are much harder than ranking them in a set of small size without referring to their precise values. In these situations, ranked set sampling (RSS), proposed by McIntyre (1952), can be regarded as an alternative to the usual simple random sampling ...
متن کاملStandard error computations for uncertainty quantification in inverse problems: Asymptotic theory vs. bootstrapping
We computationally investigate two approaches for uncertainty quantification in inverse problems for nonlinear parameter dependent dynamical systems. We compare the bootstrapping and asymptotic theory approaches for problems involving data with several noise forms and levels. We consider both constant variance absolute error data and relative error which produces non-constant variance data in o...
متن کاملPrediction Performance After Learning in Gaussian Process Regression
This paper considers the quantification of the prediction performance in Gaussian process regression. The standard approach is to base the prediction error bars on the theoretical predictive variance, which is a lower bound on the mean square-error (MSE). This approach, however, does not take into account that the statistical model is learned from the data. We show that this omission leads to a...
