Estimation from samples.
Estimation is the process of determining a likely value for a population parameter (eg, the true population mean or proportion) based on a random sample. In practice, a sample is drawn from the target population, and sample statistics (eg, the sample mean or sample proportion) are used to generate estimates of the unknown parameter. The sample should be representative of the population, ideally...
متن کاملSpectrum Estimation from Samples
We consider the problem of approximating the set of eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of a multivariate distribution (equivalently, the problem of approximating the “population spectrum”), given access to samples drawn from the distribution. The eigenvalues of the covariance of a distribution contain basic information about the distribution, including the presence or lack of structure in the...
متن کاملA reinvestigation of robust scale estimation in finite samples
This paper reworks and expands on the results of existing simulation studies, investigating the performance of various robust estimators of scale for Tukey’s three corner distributions. We focus attention on the popular biweight A-estimator, but also propose a new estimator based on the Student’s t-distribution, which attains efficiency close to that of the A-estimator. We investigate use of mo...
متن کاملTangent Estimation from Point Samples
Let M be an m-dimensional smooth compact manifold embedded in R, where m is a constant known to us. Suppose that a dense set of points are sampled from M according to a Poisson process with an unknown parameter. Let p be any sample point, let % be the local feature size at p, and let %ε be the distance from p to the (n + 1)th nearest sample point for some n between ( m+1 2 ) + 1 and ( d+1 2 ) ....
