Estimating equations for association structures

Statistics in Medicine, 2004
AbstractThis paper investigates generalized estimating equations for association parameters, which are frequently of interest in family studies, with emphasis on covariance estimation. Separate link functions are used to connect the mean, the scale, and the correlation to linear predictors involving possibly different sets of covariates, and separate ...

Estimating export equations [PDF]

Applied Economics Letters, 2007
Accurate estimates of the price and income elasticities of exports are valuable for growth policies based on trade promotion. However, not sufficient attention seems to have been paid to the specification of the relative price variable in some influential empirical works.

Robust Estimation Through Estimating Equations

Biometrika, 1984
The paper deals with the choice of parameter definition. It develops the concepts of parameter defining function and effective parameter. It also provides theory and techniques for choosing from a given set of robust parameters the one that can most efficiently be estimated. This theory is applied to location parameters.

Penalized Estimating Equations

Biometrics, 2003
Summary. Penalty models—such as the ridge estimator, the Stein estimator, the bridge estimator, and the Lasso—have been proposed to deal with collinearity in regressions. The Lasso, for instance, has been applied to linear models, logistic regressions, Cox proportional hazard models, and neural networks.

M-Estimation (Estimating Equations)

2012
In Chapter 1 we made the distinction between the parts of a fully specified statistical model. The primary part is the part that is most important for answering the underlying scientific questions. The secondary part consists of all the remaining details of the model.

Techniques for estimating allometric equations

Journal of Morphology, 1975
AbstractMorphologists have long been aware that differential size relationships of variables can be of great value when studying shape. Allometric patterns have been the basis of many interpretations of adaptations, biomechanisms, and taxonomies. It is of importance that the parameters of the allometric equation be as accurate estimates as possible ...

Methods of Tooth Equator Estimation

2018
Full automation of the designing process of an occlusal splint requires an algorithm to determine the boundary of the splint. For this purpose, the idea of tooth equator is frequently used. The task is to find the approximate level where the teeth are widest, and then cut off the shape of the splint there.

A stability estimate for convolution equation

Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2002
The author gives an estimate for the solution of a convolution equation \[ \int_R k(x-y)f(y)dy=F(x), x\in R \tag{1} \] where \(f(x), F(x) \in L_2(R)\). Theorem. Assume that \(\int_R |\widehat{f}(\xi)|^2 (1+|\xi|^2) d\xi \leq M\). Then for the solution of the equation (1), the following estimate is valid \(\|f\|_2\leq \frac{1}{k_c}\|F\|_2+\frac{1}{c}M\)
