Modified Estimator of Finite Population Variance under Stratified Random Sampling
This paper proposes a generalized estimator of finite population variance using the auxiliary information under stratified random sampling. The expressions for bias and mean square error equations of the proposed estimator up to the first degree of ...

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 ...

Scalar auxiliary variable approache for the surface quasi-geostrophic equation
We present a numerical method for approximating the two-dimensional surface quasi-geostrophic equation. We first reformulate the equation into an equivalent system by using the scalar auxiliary variable approach.

Localized direct boundary–domain integro–differential formulations for scalar nonlinear boundary-value problems with variable coefficients [PDF]
Mixed boundary-value Problems (BVPs) for a second-order quasi-linear elliptic partial differential equation with variable coefficients dependent on the unknown solution and its gradient are considered.

A geoadditive Bayesian latent variable model for Poisson indicators [PDF]
We introduce a new latent variable model with count variable indicators, where usual linear parametric effects of covariates, nonparametric effects of continuous covariates and spatial effects on the continuous latent variables are modelled through a ...

A usual code for quantum wiretap channel requires an auxiliary random variable subject to the perfect uniform distribution. However, it is difficult to prepare such an auxiliary random variable.

An Exact Auxiliary Variable Gibbs Sampler for a Class of Diffusions
Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) or diffusions are continuous-valued continuous-time stochastic processes widely used in the applied and mathematical sciences. Simulating paths from these processes is usually an intractable problem, and typically

Challenges with Dual Use of Auxiliary Variable: A Class of Estimators for Population Mean
The estimation of finite population mean is always of interest for different sampling techniques and it is the basic measure to find for sample to estimate one of the most applicable central tendency.

Nonparametric regression with the scale depending on auxiliary variable
The paper is devoted to the problem of estimation of a univariate component in a heteroscedastic nonparametric multiple regression under the mean integrated squared error (MISE) criteria. The aim is to understand how the scale function should be used for

Effective Auxiliary Variables via Structured Reencoding
Extended resolution shows that auxiliary variables are very powerful in theory. However, attempts to exploit this potential in practice have had limited success. One reasonably effective method in this regard is bounded variable addition (BVA), which automatically reencodes formulas by introducing new variables and eliminating clauses, often ...
