The Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator
This module motivates and introduces the minimum variance unbiased estimator (MVUE). This is the primary criterion in the classical (frequentist) approach to parameter estimation. We introduce the concepts of mean squared error (MSE), variance, bias, unbiased estimators, and the bias-variance decomposition of the MSE. The Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator 1 In Search of a Useful Criterion In ...
متن کاملMinimum variance capacity identification
In the framework of multi-criteria decision making whose aggregation process is based on the Choquet integral, we present a maximum entropy like method enabling to determine, if it exists, the “least specific” capacity compatible with the initial preferences of the decision maker. The proposed approach consists in solving a strictly convex quadratic program whose objective function is equivalen...
متن کاملOn minimum variance thresholding
Variance-based thresholding methods could be biased from the threshold found by expert and the underlying mechanism responsible for this bias is explored in this paper. An analysis on the minimum class variance thresholding (MCVT) and the Otsu method, which minimizes the within-class variance, is carried out. It turns out that the bias for the Otsu method is due to differences in class variance...
متن کاملEstimation of Variance Functions in Assays with Possibly Unequal Replication and Nonnormal Data
Estimation of parametric variance functions for assays relies on transformation of standard deviations based on replication at each concentration. The quality of such estimates has been shown to have direct impact on the quality of inference based on the fitted calibration curve. The theory of Davidian and Carroll (1987) is used to demonstrate that ignoring unequal replication can lead to bias ...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Computerized Cognitive Empowerment on Attentional Functions, Concentration and Cognitive Effort in the elderly
The main purpose of this study was to determine the effect of computer cognitive empowerment on the attentional functions, concentration and cognitive effort of the elderly. Metods This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. Participants were 30 elderly people who were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to the experim...
