Let be a random sample from a normal distribution with unknown mean and known variance The usual estimator of the mean, i.e., sample mean is the maximum likelihood estimator which under squared error loss function is minimax and admissible estimator. In many practical situations, is known in advance to lie in an interval, say for some In this case, the maximum likelihood estimator...

Salah satu hal penting dalam analisis statistik adalah prosedur estimasi suatu fungsi padat peluang yang biasa disebut densitas. Ada dua metode pendekatan biasanya digunakan, yaitu parameter terkait dengan asumsi distribusi tertentu dan densitas secara non parametrik. Metode parametrik sering kita jumpai histogram.
 Beberapa kelemahan histogram menjadi acuan untuk dikembangkannya lain kern...

The risk associated with financial returns is commonly measured through an estimator of the variance. Variance estimators based on high frequency returns are susceptible to the influence of jumps, and these should be accounted for. This article proposes to measure the uncertainty and other characteristics of return series through a quantile-based approach, which automatically is robust to outli...

the gastric cancer in iran is the fourth in the general population. this study was designed to determine the five-year survival rate of gastric cancer patients, and to assess its associated factors. we analyzed the data using a time-dependent covariates model, and recommend it for analyses of similar data. 281 gastric cancer patients with adenocarcinomatous pathology who had been operated on at...

background anthracyclines are important components of many chemotherapeutic protocols. the present study aimed to evaluate the repolarization changes in electrocardiography (ecg) which may predict drug induced arrhythmia. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, the recorded ecgs were assessed for qt dispersion (qtd), qt corrected dispersion (qtcd), t peak to tend dispersion (tped),...

There has been considerable research conducted on the development of statistical models for predicting crashes on highway facilities. Despite numerous advancements made for improving the estimation tools of statistical models, the most common probabilistic structure used for modeling motor vehicle crashes remains the traditional Poisson and Poisson-gamma (or Negative Binomial) distribution; whe...

In various statistical model, such as density estimation and estimation of regression curves or hazard rates, monotonicity constraints can arise naturally. A frequently encountered problem in nonparametric statistics is to estimate a monotone density function f on a compact interval. A known estimator for density function of f under the restriction that f is decreasing, is Grenander estimator, ...

We deal with parametric estimation for a parabolic linear second-order stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) small dispersion parameter based on high-frequency data which are observed in time and space. Using the thinned respect to space obtained from data, minimum contrast estimators of two coefficient parameters SPDE proposed. With these we construct an approximation coordinate proc...
