Composite Estimators for the Population Mean Under Ranked Set Sampling

Mathematics
Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is an effective sampling technique, particularly when precise measurement of the study variable is costly or time-consuming, but ranking the units is relatively easy.

Estimation of the finite population covariance using calibration

Nonlinear Analysis, 2010
Estimators of the finite population covariance with several systems of weights are considered. New calibrated estimators of the finite population covariance (variance) are derived, using two and three weighting systems that are defined by various ...

Local Linear Regression Estimator on the Boundary Correction in Nonparametric Regression Estimation

Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2020
The precision and accuracy of any estimation can inform one whether to use or not to use the estimated values. It is the crux of the matter to many if not all statisticians.

Leukemia and Exposure to Potential Benzene Sources in Children From the Mexico City Metropolitan Area, 2010–2021: A Geospatial Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer in Mexico, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent subtype. Exposure to high concentrations of benzene has been associated with ALL incidence, particularly in urban areas. This study evaluated the relationship between distance to benzene emission sources and the number

Psychosocial Functioning After Pediatric Bone Sarcoma: Generic and Survivor‐Specific Outcomes in Adolescent and Young Adult Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric bone sarcoma patients and survivors may experience psychosocial challenges related to childhood cancer after their intensive, body‐altering treatment. This cross‐sectional study aimed to evaluate generic and survivor‐specific psychosocial outcomes in a national cohort of pediatric bone sarcoma patients and survivors, and ...

Unbiased K-L estimator for the linear regression model [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2021
Background: In the linear regression model, the ordinary least square (OLS) estimator performance drops when multicollinearity is present. According to the Gauss-Markov theorem, the estimator remains unbiased when there is multicollinearity, but the ...

Incidence and Severity of Carboplatin‐Associated Hearing Loss in Children With Cancer Assessed by the SIOP Boston 2012 Ototoxicity Criteria

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Platinum‐based chemotherapy is known to cause severe and debilitating hearing loss, but unlike cisplatin, the true incidence of carboplatin‐induced hearing loss remains unclear. We evaluated functional hearing outcomes in children receiving carboplatin to determine the incidence and severity of ototoxicity. Procedure We identified a

Challenges with Dual Use of Auxiliary Variable: A Class of Estimators for Population Mean

Data Science in Science
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.

Condition-index based new ridge regression estimator for linear regression model with multicollinearity

Kuwait Journal of Science, 2023
Ridge regression is employed to estimate the regression parameters while circumventing the multicollinearity among independent variables. The ridge parameter plays a vital role as it controls bias-variance tradeoff. Several methods for choosing the ridge

Estimating Numbers without Regression

CoRR, 2023
Despite recent successes in language models, their ability to represent numbers is insufficient. Humans conceptualize numbers based on their magnitudes, effectively projecting them on a number line; whereas subword tokenization fails to explicitly capture magnitude by splitting numbers into arbitrary chunks.
