Edgeworth Coefficients for Standard Multivariate Estimates
I give for the first time explicit formulas for the coefficients needed for the fourth-order Edgeworth expansions of a multivariate standard estimate. I call these the Edgeworth coefficients.

Prostate gland volume estimation: anteroposterior diameters measured on axial versus sagittal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance images [PDF]
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of prostate volume estimates calculated from the ellipsoid formula using the anteroposterior (AP) diameter measured on axial and sagittal images obtained through ultrasonography (US) and magnetic

Estimation of Standard Auction Models
We provide efficient estimation methods for first- and second-price auctions under independent (asymmetric) private values and partial observability. Given a finite set of observations, each comprising the identity of the winner and the price they paid in a sequence of identical auctions, we provide algorithms for non-parametrically estimating the bid ...

Assessment of the standard precipitation frequency estimates in the United States
Study region: The Conterminous United States Study focus: The NOAA Atlases have provided the standard precipitation frequency estimates (PFEs) for over two decades in the United States, but they are losing that status due to climate change.

Analysis on incomplete could lead to biased estimation when using standard statistical procedure since it ignores the missing observations. The disadvantage of ignoring missing data is that the researcher might not have enough data to conduct an analysis.

Frequentist standard errors of Bayes estimators [PDF]
Frequentist standard errors are a measure of uncertainty of an estimator, and the basis for statistical inferences. Frequestist standard errors can also be derived for Bayes estimators. However, except in special cases, the computation of the standard error of Bayesian estimators requires bootstrapping, which in combination with Markov chain Monte ...

IntroductionComparable indicators on complete cancer prevalence are increasingly needed in Europe to support survivorship care planning. Direct measures can be biased by limited registration time and estimates are needed to recover long term survivors ...

Estimating true standard deviations [PDF]
A basic statistic that students learn about in their classes is the standard deviation. Like any statistic, standard deviations are influenced by systematic factors and randomness. I propose that researchers should report “corrected” or “true” standard deviations and I show how to calculate them.

Estimation accuracy of non-standard maximum likelihood estimators [PDF]
In many deterministic estimation problems, the probability density function (p.d.f.) parameterized by unknown deterministic parameters results from the marginalization of a joint p.d.f. depending on additional random variables. Unfortunately, this marginalization is often mathematically intractable, which prevents from using standard maximum likelihood

Standard filtration practices may significantly distort planktonic microbial diversity estimates
Fractionation of biomass by filtration is a standard method for sampling planktonic microbes. It is unclear how the taxonomic composition of filtered biomass changes depending on sample volume.
