Generalized Fiducial Inference: A Review
R. A. Fisher, the father of modern statistics, proposed the idea of fiducial inference during the first half of the 20th century. While his proposal led to interesting methods for quantifying uncertainty, other prominent statisticians of the time did not accept Fisher’s approach as it became apparent that some of Fisher’s bold claims about the properties of fiducial distribution did not hold up...
متن کاملGeneralized Fiducial Inference via Discretization
Abstract: In addition to the usual sources of error that have been long studied by statisticians, many data sets have been rounded off in some manner, either by the measuring device or storage on a computer. In this paper we investigate theoretical properties of generalized fiducial distribution introduced in Hannig (2009) for discretized data. Limit theorems are provided for both fixed sample ...
متن کاملNonparametric comparison of two survival functions with dependent censoring via nonparametric multiple imputation.
When the event time of interest depends on the censoring time, conventional two-sample test methods, such as the log-rank and Wilcoxon tests, can produce an invalid test result. We extend our previous work on estimation using auxiliary variables to adjust for dependent censoring via multiple imputation, to the comparison of two survival distributions. To conduct the imputation, we use two worki...
متن کاملFiducial Inference and Belief Functions
One aspect of Fisher’s work which has puzzled a great many statisticians is the idea of Fiducial Inference. Using “pivotal” variables, Fisher moves from logical statements about restrictions of parameter spaces to probabilistic statements about parameters. The method works, but with a lot of caveats: the pivotal variables must be sufficient statistics, must be continuous, &c. Dempster’s explora...
متن کاملNonparametric copula estimation under bivariate censoring
In this paper, we consider nonparametric copula inference under bivariate censoring. Based on an estimator of the joint cumulative distribution function, we define a discrete and two smooth estimators of the copula. The construction that we propose is valid for a large number of estimators of the distribution function, and therefore for a large number of bivariate censoring frameworks. Under so...
