A Note on Comparison of (non)-linear Estimators Using Pitman’s Measure of Closeness
نویسنده
چکیده
We present some sufficient and necessary conditions under which some linear (or nonlinear) estimators dominate (are better than) others in the sense of PMC. Its applications in linear regressions are also discussed. Furthermore, we obtain results about the eigenvalues of two matrices, which seem to be hard to be proved through pure matrix theory.

On Comparison of the Tail Index of Heavy Tail Distributions Using Pitman’s Measure of Closeness
The objective of this paper is to compare estimators which are a function of sample averages (a modification of Fan's estimators) based on different sample sizes for all symmetric stable distributions with exponent α (0 < α ≤ 2), according to the Pitman's measure of closeness criterion.
متن کاملPitman-Closeness of Preliminary Test and Some Classical Estimators Based on Records from Two-Parameter Exponential Distribution
In this paper, we study the performance of estimators of parametersof two-parameter exponential distribution based on upper records. The generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test was used to generate preliminary test estimator (PTE) for both parameters. We have compared the proposed estimator with maximum likelihood (ML) and unbiased estimators (UE) under mean-squared error (MSE) and Pitman me...
متن کاملClassic and Bayes Shrinkage Estimation in Rayleigh Distribution Using a Point Guess Based on Censored Data
Introduction In classical methods of statistics, the parameter of interest is estimated based on a random sample using natural estimators such as maximum likelihood or unbiased estimators (sample information). In practice, the researcher has a prior information about the parameter in the form of a point guess value. Information in the guess value is called as nonsample information. Thomp...
متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Performance of the Unified Approach to Linearization of Variance Estimation after Imputation with Some Other Methods
Imputation is one of the most common methods to reduce item non_response effects. Imputation results in a complete data set, and then it is possible to use naϊve estimators. After using most of common imputation methods, mean and total (imputation estimators) are still unbiased. However their variances (imputation variances) are underestimated by naϊve variance estimators. Sampling mechanism an...
متن کاملA New Similarity Measure Based on Item Proximity and Closeness for Collaborative Filtering Recommendation
Recommender systems utilize information retrieval and machine learning techniques for filtering information and can predict whether a user would like an unseen item. User similarity measurement plays an important role in collaborative filtering based recommender systems. In order to improve accuracy of traditional user based collaborative filtering techniques under new user cold-start problem a...
