Topic 4 : Parameter Estimation

چکیده
Example 4.1 (Psichokinesis). Imagine controlling things with your mind. For example, skipping a song by just thinking about it. One way to do this is by putting D sensors in your head (in your headphones, for example). These sensors would record small voltages generated by your brain, store them in a vector x ∈ R, and send them to a machine (phone, computer, server, etc.). The machine should interpret x and skip the song if that is what you thought about (see Figure 4.1).

Household electricity demand estimation: a regression discontinuity design approach
Estimating electricity demand elasticity in different sectors has been an essential research topic. Considering the fact that pricing electricity in various countries does not follow the same rules, many econometrics methods have been developed to estimate this crucial parameter. Electricity demand elasticity is defined as the percent change in electricity consumption in response to one percent...
متن کاملEnsemble-based Parameter Estimation in a Coupled Gcm 2 Using the Adaptive Spatial Average Method 3 4 5
37 Ensemble-based parameter estimation for a climate model is emerging as an 38 important topic in climate research. For a complex system as a coupled ocean-atmosphere 39 general circulation model, the sensitivity and response of a model variable to a model 40 parameter could vary spatially and temporally. Here, we propose an adaptive spatial 41 average (ASA) algorithm to increase the efficienc...
متن کاملStatistical Machine Translation : Robust parameter estimation from noisy corpus
In this report, we describe our study of effect of noise on parameter estimation for statistical machine translation. So far, no study has been done on this topic, even though the algorithm used for parameter estimation for statistical machine translation (the EM algorithm) is known to be highly sensitive to noise. We present in detail the experiments performed to observe the influence of noise...
متن کاملESTIMATION OF SCALE PARAMETER UNDER A REFLECTED GAMMA LOSS FUNCTION
In this paper, the estimation of a scale parameter t under a new and bounded loss function, based on a reflection of the gamma density function, is discussed. The best scale-invariant estimator of tis obtained and the admissibility of all linear functions of the sufficient statistic, for estimating t in the absence of a nuisance parameter, is investigated
متن کاملParameter Estimation of Some Archimedean Copulas Based on Minimum Cramér-von-Mises Distance
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new estimation method for estimating the Archimedean copula dependence parameter in the non-parametric setting. The estimation of the dependence parameter has been selected as the value that minimizes the Cramér-von-Mises distance which measures the distance between Empirical Bernstein Kendall distribution function and true Kendall distribution functi...
