Robust Autocorrelation Estimation
In this paper, we introduce a new class of robust autocorrelation estimators based on interpreting the sample autocorrelation function as a linear regression. We investigate the efficiency and robustness properties of the estimators that result from employing three common robust regression techniques. Construction of robust autocovariance and positive definite autocorrelation estimates is discu...
متن کاملBayesian estimation of the network autocorrelation model
The network autocorrelation model has been extensively used by researchers interested modeling social influence effects in social networks. The most common inferential method in the model is classical maximum likelihood estimation. This approach, however, has known problems such as negative bias of the network autocorrelation parameter and poor coverage of confidence intervals. In this paper, w...
متن کاملOn the Estimation of the Autocorrelation Function
The autocorrelation function has a very important role in several application areas involving stochastic processes. In fact, it assumes the theoretical base for Spectral analysis, ARMA (and generalizations) modeling, detection, etc. However and as it is well known, the results obtained with the more current estimates of the autocorrelation function (biased or not) are frequently bad, even when ...
متن کاملGrade correspondence analysis applied to contingency tables and questionnaire data
An alternative approach methodology for Correspondence Analysis is presented. This approach, called Grade Correspondence Analysis (GCA), utilizes Spearman's rho to detect underlying associations and trends. Two examples are presented using: (1) a contingency table (Heuer's suicide data) with cause of death, gender, and age; and (2) a survey questionnaire (data matrix) concerning employment, per...
متن کاملBayesian estimation applied to multiple species
Observed data are often contaminated by undiscovered interlopers, leading to biased parameter estimation. Here we present BEAMS (Bayesian estimation applied to multiple species) which significantly improves on the standard maximum likelihood approach in the case where the probability for each data point being ‘‘pure’’ is known. We discuss the application of BEAMS to future type-Ia supernovae (S...
