Two-stage re-estimation adaptive design: a simulation study

open access: yesEpidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health, 2013
Background: adaptive clinical trial design has been proposed as a promising new approach to improve the drug discovery process. Among the many options available, adaptive sample size re-estimation is of great interest mainly because of its ability to ...

Millimeter-Wave Based Localization Using a Two-Stage Channel Estimation Relying on Few-Bit ADCs

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society, 2021
Benefiting from the high resolution in beamspace, millimeter wave (mmwave) communication has been regarded as a high-accuracy localization solution, where the location information is embedded in the channel via angle and time delay, for example.

Two-Stage Maximum Score Estimator

open access: yes, 2020
This paper considers the asymptotic theory of a semiparametric M-estimator that is generally applicable to models that satisfy a monotonicity condition in one or several parametric indexes. We call the estimator two-stage maximum score (TSMS) estimator since our estimator involves a first-stage nonparametric regression when applied to the binary choice

A Novel Two-Stage Illumination Estimation Framework for Expression Recognition

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
One of the critical issues for facial expression recognition is to eliminate the negative effect caused by variant poses and illuminations. In this paper a two-stage illumination estimation framework is proposed based on three-dimensional representative ...

Deciphering the contributions of spectral and structural data to wheat yield estimation from proximal sensing

open access: yesCrop Journal, 2022
Accurate, efficient, and timely yield estimation is critical for crop variety breeding and management optimization. However, the contributions of proximal sensing data characteristics (spectral, temporal, and spatial) to yield estimation have not been ...

Two-Stage Limited-Information Estimation for Structural Equation Models of Round-Robin Variables

open access: yesStats
We propose and demonstrate a new two-stage maximum likelihood estimator for parameters of a social relations structural equation model (SR-SEM) using estimated summary statistics (Σ^) as data, as well as uncertainty about Σ^ to obtain robust inferential ...

Two-stage sampling in the estimation of growth parameters and percentile norms: sample weights versus auxiliary variable estimation

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2021
Background The use of auxiliary variables with maximum likelihood parameter estimation for surveys that miss data by design is not a widespread approach, despite its documented improved efficiency over traditional approaches that deploy sampling weights.
