A Note on N Estimators for the Binomial Distribution
Consider k success counts from a binomial distribution with unknown N and success probability p. We consider the problem of estimating N. By integrating the likelihood for Nand p over a beta density for p, we obtain the beta-binomial distribution which results in stable and reasonably efficient estimators of N, which compare favorably with and are often better than the estimates introduced by O...
متن کاملWeighted Kernel Estimators in Nonparametric Binomial Regression
This paper is concerned with nonparametric binomial regression. Two kernel-based binomial regression estimators and their bias-adjusted versions are proposed, whose kernels are weighted by the inverses of variance estimators of the observed proportion at each covariate. Asymptotic theories for deriving asymptotic mean squared errors (AMSEs) of proposed estimators are developed. Comparisons with...
متن کاملN-cadherin: stabilizing synapses
Spines are sites of excitatory synapse formation in central neurons. Alterations in spine structure and function are widely believed to actively contribute to the cellular mechanisms of learning and memory. In this issue, Mendez et al. (2010. J. Cell Biol. doi:10.1083/jcb.201003007) demonstrate a pivotal role for the cell adhesion molecule N-cadherin in activity-mediated spine stabilization, of...
متن کاملThe Variance of a New Class of N-point Correlation Estimators in Poisson and Binomial Point Processes
We describe a set of new estimators for the N-point correlation functions of point processes. The variance of these estimators is calculated for the Poisson and binomial cases. It is shown that the variance of the unbiased estimator converges to the continuum value much faster than with any previously used alternative, all terms with slower convergence exactly cancel. We compare our estimators ...
متن کاملStabilizing membrane domains antagonizes n-alcohol anesthesia
Diverse molecules induce general anesthesia with potency strongly correlated both with their hydrophobicity and their effects on certain ion channels. We recently observed that several n-alcohol anesthetics inhibit heterogeneity in plasma membrane derived vesicles by lowering the critical temperature (Tc) for phase separation. Here we exploit conditions that stabilize membrane heterogeneity to ...
