Minimizing Statistical Bias with Queries
نویسنده
چکیده
I describe a querying criterion that attempts to minimize the error of a learner by minimizing its estimated squared bias. I describe experiments with locally-weighted regression on two simple problems, and observe that this "bias-only" approach outperforms the more common "variance-only" exploration approach, even in the presence of noise.

Bias and Unbias Comparison between Economic Statistical Design T2-VSI and T2-FRS Control Charts
The Hotelling's control chart, is the most widely used multivariate procedure for monitoring two or more related quality characteristics, but it’s power lacks the desired performance in detecting small to moderate shifts. Recently, the variable sampling intervals (VSI) control scheme in which the length of successive sampling intervals is determined upon the preceding values has been proved t...
متن کاملA hybrid GRASP algorithm for minimizing total weighted resource tardiness penalty costs in scheduling of project networks
In this paper, we consider scheduling of project networks under minimization of total weighted resource tardiness penalty costs. In this problem, we assume constrained resources are renewable and limited to very costly machines and tools which are also used in other projects and are not accessible in all periods of time of a project. In other words, there is a dictated ready date as well as a d...

Data Streams are infinite, fast, time-stamp data elements which are received explosively. Generally, these elements need to be processed in an online, real-time way. So, algorithms to process data streams and answer queries on these streams are mostly one-pass. The execution of such algorithms has some challenges such as memory limitation, scheduling, and accuracy of answers. They will be more ...
متن کاملMinimizing Bias in Biomass Allometry: Model Selection and Log-transformation of Data
Nonlinear regression is increasingly used to develop allometric equations for forest biomass estimation (i.e., as opposed to the traditional approach of logtransformation followed by linear regression). Most statistical software packages, however, assume additive errors by default, violating a key assumption of allometric theory and possibly producing spurious models. Here, we show that such mo...
