Some Statistical Methods for Prediction of Athletic Records
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
Prediction of the sports records has received a great deal of attention from researchers in different disciplines. This article reviews some of the methods developed by statisticians and offers few improvements. Specific methods discussed include trend analysis, tail modeling, and methods based on certain results of the theory of records for independent and identically distributed attempts. To make the latter theory applicable, and to account for factors affecting the records, adjustments are made to the data in the form of increase in participation or attempts. Models utilized for this purpose include geometric increase, logistic increase, and increase as a non-homogenous Poisson process. A method for prediction of ultimate record is also included together with demonstrating examples using data for men’s long jump and 400 meter run.

Some New Methods for Prediction of Time Series by Wavelets
Extended Abstract. Forecasting is one of the most important purposes of time series analysis. For many years, classical methods were used for this aim. But these methods do not give good performance results for real time series due to non-linearity and non-stationarity of these data sets. On one hand, most of real world time series data display a time-varying second order structure. On th...

The impact of including postcursors in the null hypothesis test is discussed. Unequal prediction probabilities can be included in the null hypothesis test using a generalization of the central limit theorem. A test for determining the enhancement factor over random chance is given. The seismic earthquake signal may preferentially precede earthquakes even if the VAN methodology fails to forecast...

Although formal hypothesis tests provide a convenient framework for displaying the statistical results of empirical comparisons, standard tests should not be used without consideration of underlying measurement error structure. As part of the validation process, predictions of individual blood lead concentrations from models with site-specific input parameters are often compared with blood lead...

In this paper, we discuss different estimators of the records Weibull distribution parameters and also we apply the Kullback-Leibler divergence of survival function method to estimate record Weibull parameters. Finally, these estimators have been compared using Monte Carlo simulation and suggested good estimators.
