Cross-validation prior choice in Bayesian probit regression with many covariates [PDF]
This paper examines prior choice in probit regression through a predictive cross-validation criterion. In particular, we focus on situations where the number of potential covariates is far larger than the number of observations, such as in gene ...

Auxiliary variables for deformable models [PDF]
We present a mathematical formulation for curve and surface reconstruction algorithms by introduction of auxiliary variables. For deformable models and templates, two step iterative algorithms have been often used where, at each iteration, the model is first locally deformed according to the potential data attraction and then globally smoothed. We show

Separate and Combined Ratio Estimators for the Median [PDF]
In this paper, two methods for median estimation for stratified random sample are suggested. We had suggested two median estimators for stratified sample (Hussein 1999). The position and stratified estimators suggested earlier are applicable in situation

Use of an efficient unbiased estimator for finite population mean.
In this study, we propose an improved unbiased estimator in estimating the finite population mean using a single auxiliary variable and rank of the auxiliary variable by adopting the Hartley-Ross procedure when some parameters of the auxiliary variable ...

Classes of combined population mean estimators utilizing transformed variables under double sampling with application to air pollution in Chiang Rai, Thailand [PDF]
The transformation method can be used to increase the efficiency of the variable of interest for estimating population mean. Two classes of combined population mean estimators utilizing transformation on an auxiliary variable and on both an auxiliary ...

Estimation of Finite Population Ratio When Other Auxiliary Variables are Available in the Study
The estimation of the population total $t_y,$ by using one or more auxiliary variables, and the population ratio $\theta_{xy}=t_y/t_x,$ $t_x$ is the population total for the auxiliary variable $X$, for a finite population are heavily discussed in the ...
