In this paper the results of the estimation of the fundamental frequency of the speech signal modeled by the G.723.1 method are analyzed. The estimation of the fundamental frequency was performed by the Peaking-Peaks algorithm with the implemented Parametric Cubic Convolution (PCC) interpolation. The efficiency of PCC was tested for Keys, Greville and Greville two-parametric kernel. Depending o...

In this paper we give a brief survey of penalized spline smoothing. Penalized spline smoothing is a general non-parametric estimation technique which allows to fit smooth but else unspecified functions to empirical data. While penalized spline regressions are quite popular in natural sciences only few applications can be found in economics. We present an example demonstrating how this non-param...

To improve decision making, real-time population density must be known. However, calculating the point density of a huge dataset in real time is impractical in terms of processing time. Accordingly, a fast algorithm for estimating the distribution of the density of moving points is proposed. The algorithm, which is based on variational Bayesian estimation, takes a parametric approach to speed u...

Statistical resampling methods have become feasible for parametric estimation, hypothesis testing, and model validation now that the computer is a ubiquitous tool for statisticians. This essay focuses on the resampling technique for parametric estimation known as the Jackknife procedure. To outline the usefulness of the method and its place in the general class of statistical resampling techniq...

Density Estimation: Deals with the problem of estimating probability density functions (PDFs) based on some data sampled from the PDF. May use assumed forms of the distribution, parameterized in some way (parametric statistics); or May avoid making assumptions about the form of the PDF (nonparametric statistics). We are concerned more here with the non-parametric case (see Roger Barlow’s lectur...

the purpose of this study is estimation of daily value at risk (var) for total index of tehran stock exchange using parametric, nonparametric and semi-parametric approaches. conditional and unconditional coverage backtesting are used for evaluating the accuracy of calculated var and also to compare the performance of mentioned approaches. in most cases, based on backtesting statistics results, ...

For estimating conditional survival functions, non-parametric estimators can be preferred to parametric and semi-parametric estimators due to relaxed assumptions that enable robust estimation. Yet, even when misspecified, parametric and semi-parametric estimators can possess better operating characteristics in small sample sizes due to smaller variance than non-parametric estimators. Fundamenta...

‎Consider an estimation problem in a one-parameter non-regular distribution when both endpoints of the support depend on a single parameter‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we give sufficient conditions for a generalized Bayes estimator of a parametric function to be admissible‎. ‎Some examples are given‎. ‎
