Estimating the Structural Distribution Function of Cell Probabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: We consider estimation of the structural distribution function of the cell probabilities of a multinomial sample in situations where the number of cells is large. We review the performance of the natural estimator, an estimator based on grouping of the cells, and a kernel type estimator. Inconsistency of the natural estimator and weak consistency of the other two estimators is derived by Poissonization and other, new, technical devices.

Estimating a Structural Distribution Function by Grouping
The concept of a structural distribution function originates from linguistics. Let M denote the size of the vocabulary of an author and consider a text of this author that contains n words. Every choice of a word in the text from the vocabulary can be seen as the realization of a multinomial random vector. The whole text consists of a sequence of such choices X = (X (i) 1,M , . . . , X (i) M,M)...
متن کاملEntropy-based Serviceability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks, Subjected to Natural and Man-Made Hazards
In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...
متن کاملExact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملEstimating a Bounded Normal Mean Under the LINEX Loss Function
Let X be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. In many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. As the usual estimator of θ, i.e., X under the LINEX loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for X becomes worthwhile. The only study in the literature considered the problem of min...
