Weighted Sampling, Maximum Likelihood and Minimum Divergence Estimators
This paper explores Maximum Likelihood in parametric models in the context of Sanov type Large Deviation Probabilities. MLE in parametric models under weighted sampling is shown to be associated with the minimization of a specific divergence criterion defined with respect to the distribution of the weights. Some properties of the resulting inferential procedure are presented; Bahadur efficiency...
متن کاملImproved Ratio Estimators in Adaptive Cluster Sampling
For better inference of the population quantity of interest, ratio estimators are often recommended when certain auxiliary variables are available. Two types of ratio estimators, modified for adaptive cluster sampling via transformed population and initial intersection probability approaches, have been studied in Dryver and Chao (2007). Unfortunately, none of them are a function of a minimal su...
متن کاملAccept–reject Metropolis–Hastings sampling and marginal likelihood estimation
We describe a method for estimating the marginal likelihood, based on CHIB (1995) and CHIB and JELIAZKOV (2001), when simulation from the posterior distribution of the model parameters is by the accept– reject Metropolis–Hastings (ARMH) algorithm. The method is developed for one-block and multiple-block ARMH algorithms and does not require the (typically) unknown normalizing constant of the pro...
متن کاملA Comparison of Marginal Likelihood Computation Methods
In a Bayesian analysis, different models can be compared on the basis of the expected or marginal likelihood they attain. Many methods have been devised to compute the marginal likelihood, but simplicity is not the strongest point of most methods. At the same time, the precision of methods is often questionable. In this paper several methods are presented in a common framework. The explanation ...
متن کاملConsistency of Semiparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimators for Two-Phase Sampling
Semiparametric maximum likelihood estimators have recently been proposed for a class of two-phase, outcome-dependent sampling models. All of them were "restricted" maximum likelihood estimators, in the sense that the maximization is carried out only over distributions concentrated on the observed values of the covariate vectors. In this paper, the authors give conditions for consistency of thes...
