Sequential risk‐efficient estimation of the parameter in the uniform density
We develop a risk‐efficient sequential procedure for estimating the parameter θ of the uniform density on (0, θ). We give explicit expressions for the distribution of the stopping time and derive its expectation and variance. We also tabulate the values of the expected stopping time and its standard deviation for some selected values of the parameter ...

Sequential point and interval estimation of scale parameter of exponential distribution
Sequential fixed‐width confidence intervals are obtained for the scale parameter σ when the location parameter θ of the negative exponential distribution is unknown. Exact expressions for the stopping time and the confidence coefficient associated with the sequential fixed‐width interval are derived.

Bayesian sequential estimation of the reliability of a parallel-series system
We give a risk-averse solution to the problem of estimating the reliability of a parallel-series system. We adopt a beta-binomial model for components reliabilities, and assume that the total sample size for the experience is fixed.

A sequential procedure is developed to construct a fixed accuracy confidence interval (CI) of the common unknown variance of the random observations, where the observations arise from a first-order stationary autoregressive (AR(1)) process with a ...

Analysis of Testing-Based Forward Model Selection [PDF]
This paper introduces and analyzes a procedure called Testing-based forward model selection (TBFMS) in linear regression problems. This procedure inductively selects covariates that add predictive power into a working statistical model before estimating ...

Sharp failure rates for the bootstrap particle filter in high dimensions
We prove that the maximum of the sample importance weights in a high-dimensional Gaussian particle filter converges to unity unless the ensemble size grows exponentially in the system dimension.

Time-dependent coarse structural nested mean models (coarse SNMMs) were developed to estimate treatment effects from longitudinal observational data. Coarse SNMMs estimate the combined effect of multiple treatment dosages and are thus useful to estimate ...

A Quasi-Bayesian Perspective to Online Clustering [PDF]
When faced with high frequency streams of data, clustering raises theoretical and algorithmic pitfalls. We introduce a new and adaptive online clustering algorithm relying on a quasi-Bayesian approach, with a dynamic (i.e., time-dependent) estimation of ...

Recursive Parameter Estimation: Convergence
We consider estimation procedures which are recursive in the sense that each successive estimator is obtained from the previous one by a simple adjustment.

Smoothing and filtering with a class of outer measures [PDF]
Filtering and smoothing with a generalised representation of uncertainty is considered. Here, uncertainty is represented using a class of outer measures.
