Average Derivative Estimation from Biased Data [PDF]

ISRN Probability and Statistics, 2014
We investigate the estimation of the density-weighted average derivative from biased data. An estimator integrating a plug-in approach and wavelet projections is constructed. We prove that it attains the parametric rate of convergence 1/n under the mean squared error.

On the biased Two-Parameter Estimator to Combat Multicollinearity in Linear Regression Model

African Scientific Reports, 2022
The most popularly used estimator to estimate the regression parameters in the linear regression model is the ordinary least-squares (OLS). The existence of multicollinearity in the model renders OLS inefficient.

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

An Alternative Estimator for Poisson–Inverse-Gaussian Regression: The Modified Kibria–Lukman Estimator

Algorithms
Poisson regression is used to model count response variables. The method has a strict assumption that the mean and variance of the response variable are equal, while, in practice, the case of overdispersion is common.

Estimators in simple random sampling: Searls approach [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2013
This paper investigates four new estimators in simple random sampling: biased sample mean, ratio estimator and two linear regression estimators, using known coefficients of variation of the study variable and auxiliary variable. The properties of the new

On Biased Stochastic Gradient Estimation

, 2019
We present a uniform analysis of biased stochastic gradient methods for minimizing convex, strongly convex, and non-convex composite objectives, and identify settings where bias is useful in stochastic gradient estimation. The framework we present allows us to extend proximal support to biased algorithms, including SAG and SARAH, for the first time in ...

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Bias in Stabilized Sieve Sampling [PDF]

, 2009
The stabilized sieve sample selection method (SSM) is considered to be a probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method with an unbiased estimator (Horgan 1997, 1998). This article demonstrates that SSM does not select items with PPS and that the

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Biased Versus Unbiased Estimation

Advances in Mathematics, 1975
AbstractStatisticians have begun to realize that certain deliberately induced biases can dramatically improve estimation properties when there are several parameters to be estimated. This represents a radical departure from the tradition of unbiased estimation which has dominated statistical thinking since the work of Gauss. We briefly describe the new
