Robust estimation of risks from small samples [PDF]
, 2017 Data-driven risk analysis involves the inference of probability distributions from measured or simulated data. In the case of a highly reliable system, such as the electricity grid, the amount of relevant data is often exceedingly limited, but the impact

Characteristic value determination from small samples [PDF]
, 2007 The paper deals with the characteristic value determination from relatively small samples. When the distribution and its parameters of a random variable are known, the characteristic value is deterministic quantity.

Testing Luminescence Dating Methods for Small Samples from Very Young Fluvial Deposits [PDF]
, 2019 The impetus behind this study is to understand the sedimentological dynamics of very young fluvial systems in the Amazon River catchment and relate these to land use change and modern analogue studies of tidal rhythmites in the geologic record.

The analysis of very small samples of repeated measurements II: a modified box correction [PDF]
, 2010 There is a need for appropriate methods for the analysis of very small samples of continuous repeated measurements. A key feature of such analyses is the role played by the covariance matrix of the repeated observations.

Estimation of reference intervals from small samples: an example using canine plasma creatinine [PDF]
, 2009 Background: According to international recommendations, reference intervals should be determined from at least 120 reference individuals, which often are impossible to achieve in veterinary clinical pathology, especially for wild animals.

Guessing probability distributions from small samples
, 1995 We propose a new method for the calculation of the statistical properties, as e.g. the entropy, of unknown generators of symbolic sequences. The probability distribution $p(k)$ of the elements $k$ of a population can be approximated by the frequencies $f(

"Download for Free" - When Do Providers of Digital Goods Offer Free Samples? [PDF]
, 2004 In a monopoly setting where consumers cannot observe the quality of the product we show that free samples which are of a lower quality than the marketed digital goods are used together with high prices as signals for a superior quality if the number of ...

Simulation sample sizes for Monte Carlo partial EVPI calculations [PDF]
, 2010 Partial expected value of perfect information (EVPI) quantifies the value of removing uncertainty about unknown parameters in a decision model. EVPIs can be computed via Monte Carlo methods. An outer loop samples values of the parameters of interest, and

A marker suitable for sex-typing birds from degraded samples [PDF]
, 2015 A new primer set was developed for sex-typing birds, Z37B. This primer set was designed to amplify alleles of small size to render it suitable for sex-typing degraded samples, including shed feathers.
