On Two Estimates Related to the Change-Point Problem
We consider the problem of estimating a smooth functional of an unknown signal with discontinuity from Gaussian observations. The signal is a known function depending on an unknown parameter. This problem is closely related to the famous change-point problem.We obtain an asymptotic likelihood ratio process for the noise level tending to 0. Bayesian and maximum likelihood estimates are construct...
متن کاملAnother View of the Classical Problem of Comparing Two Probabilities
The usual calculation of the P-value for the classical problem of comparing probabilities is not always accurate. This issue arose in the context of a legal dispute which depended on when some written material was written in a diary. The problem raises some issues on the foundations of statistical inference.
متن کاملSharp estimates for Brownian non-intersection probabilities
This paper gives an accessible (but still technical) self-contained proof to the fact that the intersection probabilities for planar Brownian motion are given in terms of the intersection exponents, up to a bounded multiplicative error, and some closely related results. While most of the results are already known, the proofs are somewhat new, and the paper can serve as a source for the estimate...
متن کاملWhat makes intensional estimates of probabilities inconsistent?
Individuals are happy to make estimates of the probabilities of unique events. Such estimates have no right or wrong answers, but when they suffice to determine the joint probability distribution, they should at least be consistent, yielding one that sums to unity. Mental model theory predicts two main sources of inconsistency: the need to estimate the probabilities that events do not happen, a...
متن کاملPoint estimates in phylogenetic reconstructions
MOTIVATION The construction of statistics for summarizing posterior samples returned by a Bayesian phylogenetic study has so far been hindered by the poor geometric insights available into the space of phylogenetic trees, and ad hoc methods such as the derivation of a consensus tree makeup for the ill-definition of the usual concepts of posterior mean, while bootstrap methods mitigate the absen...
