Generalized coarsened confounding for causal effects: a large-sample framework [PDF]
There has been widespread use of causal inference methods for the rigorous analysis of observational studies and to identify policy evaluations. In this article, we consider a class of generalized coarsened procedures for confounding.

Improved the bias in kernel quantile function estimation
In this paper, a new estimator for kernel quantile estimation is given to reduce the bias. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator was established and it turned out that the bias has been reduced to the fourth power of the bandwidth, while ...

Estimating Cumulative Distribution Function Using Gamma Kernel [PDF]
In this article, we propose the gamma kernel estimator for the cumulative distribution functions with nonnegative support. We derive the asymptotic bias and variance of the proposed estimator in both boundary and interior regions and show that it is free

Abstract From the sampling of data to the initialisation of parameters, randomness is ubiquitous in modern Machine Learning practice. Understanding the statistical fluctuations engendered by the different sources of randomness in prediction is therefore key to understanding robust generalisation.

Bias-Corrected Maximum Likelihood Estimators of the Parameters of the Unit-Weibull Distribution
It is well known that the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) have appealing statistical properties. Under fairly mild conditions their asymptotic distribution is normal, and no other estimator has a smaller asymptotic variance.

Investigating the bias resulted from ignoring bulmer effect on the genetic and economic output in progeny test and genomic selection program [PDF]
This study aims to investigate the degree of bias resulted from ignoring Bulmer effect during the estimation of genetic and economic progress in progeny test and genomic selection programs.

Nonparametric Estimation of the Density Function of the Distribution of the Noise in CHARN Models
This work is concerned with multivariate conditional heteroscedastic autoregressive nonlinear (CHARN) models with an unknown conditional mean function, conditional variance matrix function and density function of the distribution of noise.

Estimating a Finite Population Mean Using Transformed Data in Presence of Random Nonresponse
Developing finite population estimators of parameters such as mean, variance, and asymptotic mean squared error has been one of the core objectives of sample survey theory and practice.
