On “Solutions” to the Ecological Inference Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In his 1997 book, King announced “A Solution to the Ecological Inference Problem”. This review discusses King’s method, and tests it on data where truth is known. In the test data, his method produces results that are far from truth, and diagnostics are unreliable. Ecological regression makes estimates that are similar to King’s, while the neighborhood model is more accurate. His announcement is premature.

متن کاملAdaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System application for hydrothermal alteration mapping using ASTER data
The main problem associated with the traditional approach to image classification for the mapping of hydrothermal alteration is that materials not associated with hydrothermal alteration may be erroneously classified as hydrothermally altered due to the similar spectral properties of altered and unaltered minerals. The major objective of this paper is to investigate the potential of a neuro-fuz...
