Partially identified prevalence estimation under misclassification using the kappa coefficient
Many empirical studies are confronted with severe misclassification error. While interest is in the realizations of a variable Y (e.g. disease yes/no), only a related variable Y ∗ (e.g. the outcome of a diagnostic test) can be observed. Even in the case of simple prevalence estimation, naive estimation, neglecting the fundamental difference between Y and Y ∗, may be considerably biased ([1], [2...
متن کاملEstimation and Mapping of Misclassification Probabilities for Thematic Land Cover Maps
There is abundant evidence that thematic map accuracy may vary across a landscape in a manner that is only partially related to land cover type. Spatial variation in accuracy may be attributable to factors such as terrain, landscape complexity, and land use patterns. There may be serious consequences in the construction and application of thematic maps when the pattern and degree of spatial var...
متن کاملAccelerated Monte Carlo estimation of exceedance probabilities under monotonicity constraints
— The problem of estimating the probability p = P (g(X) ≤ 0) is considered when X represents a multivariate stochastic input of a monotonic function g. First, a heuristic method to bound p, originally proposed by de Rocquigny (2009), is formally described, involving a specialized design of numerical experiments. Then a statistical estimation of p is considered based on a sequential stochastic e...
متن کاملEstimation of Count Data using Bivariate Negative Binomial Regression Models
Abstract Negative binomial regression model (NBR) is a popular approach for modeling overdispersed count data with covariates. Several parameterizations have been performed for NBR, and the two well-known models, negative binomial-1 regression model (NBR-1) and negative binomial-2 regression model (NBR-2), have been applied. Another parameterization of NBR is negative binomial-P regression mode...
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Minimax Risk for the Estimation of Constrained Binomial and Multinomial Probabilities
In this paper we present a direct and simple approach to obtain bounds on the asymptotic minimax risk for the estimation of constrained binomial and multinomial proportions. Quadratic, normalized quadratic and entropy loss are considered and it is demonstrated that in all cases linear estimators are asymptotically minimax optimal. For the quadratic loss function the asymptotic minimax risk does...
