Confidence Intervals for Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo Estimators

open access: yesOnline World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications, 2023
Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) methods provide unbiased estimators whose variance often converges at a faster rate than standard Monte Carlo as a function of the sample size.

Likelihood Ratio as Weight of Forensic Evidence: A Closer Look

open access: yes, 2017
The forensic science community has increasingly sought quantitative methods for conveying the weight of evidence. Experts from many forensic laboratories summarize their findings in terms of a likelihood ratio.

Coherent frequentism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
By representing the range of fair betting odds according to a pair of confidence set estimators, dual probability measures on parameter space called frequentist posteriors secure the coherence of subjective inference without any prior distribution.

Robust Nonparametric Confidence Intervals for Regression‐Discontinuity Designs

open access: yes, 2014
In the regression‐discontinuity (RD) design, units are assigned to treatment based on whether their value of an observed covariate exceeds a known cutoff.

Bootstrap Confidence Interval of Prediction for Small Area Estimation Based on Linear Mixed Model

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2018
Linear Mixed Model (LMM) analyzes the relationship between Gaussian response and predictors with either fixed and random effects. Procedures based on LMM have been used to construct estimates of the means of small areas, by exploiting auxiliary ...

Asymptotic validity of bootstrap confidence intervals in nonparametric regression without an additive model

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Statistics, 2021
Bootstrap for nonparametric regression has been around for more than 30 years. Nevertheless, most results are based on assuming an additive regression model with respect to independent and identical (i.i.d.) errors. An exception is the Local Bootstrap of

A nonparametric model-based estimator for the cumulative distribution function of a right censored variable in a finite population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In survey analysis, the estimation of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) is of great interest: it allows for instance to derive quantiles estimators or other non linear parameters derived from the cdf.

Empirical likelihood-based tests for stochastic ordering

open access: yes, 2013
This paper develops an empirical likelihood approach to testing for the presence of stochastic ordering among univariate distributions based on independent random samples from each distribution.

Median confidence regions in a nonparametric model [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Statistics, 2018
The problem of constructing confidence regions for the median in the nonparametric measurement error model (NMEM) is considered. This problem arises in many settings, including inference about the median lifetime of a complex system arising in ...

Refuting causal relations for synchronized pathogen dynamics

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying causal relations is a critical challenge in the study of ecological systems, particularly for studying the spread of pathogens in host populations. Whether dealing with measles in humans, foot and mouth disease in livestock, or white‐nose syndrome in bats—understanding causal relations is essential for understanding the underlying ...
