Bootstrap estimation for nonparametric efficiency estimates [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
This paper develops a consistent bootstrap estimation procedure to obtain confidence intervals for nonparametric measures of productive efficiency. Although the methodology is illustrated in terms of technical efficiency measured by output distance functions, the technique can be easily extended to other consistent nonparametric frontier models ...

Statistical Advancement of a Flexible Unitary Distribution and Its Applications

open access: yesAxioms
A flexible distribution has been introduced to handle random variables in the unit interval. This distribution is based on an exponential transformation of the truncated positive normal distribution with two parameters and can effectively fit data with ...

Policy-related small.area estimation [PDF]

open access: yes
A method of small-area estimation with a utility function is developed. The utility characterises a policy planned to be implemented in each area, based on the area?s estimate of a key quantity.

Uniformly Shifted Exponential Distribution

open access: yesAxioms
The use of life distributions has increased over the past decade, receiving particular attention in recent years, both from a practical and theoretical point of view. Life distributions can be used in a number of applied fields, such as medicine, biology,

Nonparametric curve estimation with bernstein estimates

open access: yesMetrika, 1997
For the estimation of the regression function in a random design model a Bernstein type estimator is proposed. The author studies various local and global asymptotic properties of this estimator: Consistency and asymptotic normality at a fixed point are proved and an asymptotic expression for the expectation of the estimator is derived.

A comparative study on quantitative precipitation estimation based on GPM satellite and X-band phased-array weather radar

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing
This study investigates the performance of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite in comparison to the X-band Phased Array Weather Radar (XPAR) regarding precipitation measurement accuracy, focusing on radar echoes.

Volume Estimation of 3D Object Modelled by Parametrical Iso-Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes
Medical objects volume estimation is an actual task for biomedical engineering and medical diagnostic. At the same time, the input data for this task is often described in form of 2D layers. In this work a new approach for volume estimation of a 3D model

FPGA-Accelerated ϵ-Greedy Ant Colony Optimisation for Maritime Bearings-Only Nonlinear Target Motion Analysis

open access: yesIEEE Access
Bearings-Only Target Motion Analysis (BOTMA) is challenging due to nonlinear dynamics, noisy angle-only sensing, and the nonconvexity of maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE).
