Weighted-Average Least Squares (WALS): Confidence and Prediction Intervals [PDF]
AbstractWe consider inference for linear regression models estimated by weighted-average least squares (WALS), a frequentist model averaging approach with a Bayesian flavor. We propose a new simulation method that yields re-centered confidence and prediction intervals by exploiting the bias-corrected posterior mean as a frequentist estimator of a ...

It is necessary to determine the limit of detection when validating any analytical method. For methods with a linear response, a simple and low labor-consuming procedure is to use the linear regression parameters obtained in the calibration to estimate ...

Boosted optimal weighted least-squares [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the approximation of a function u u in a given subspace V m V_m of dimension m m from evaluations of the function at n n suitably chosen points. The aim is to construct an approximation of u u in V

PERFORMING IMPROVED TWO-STEP CAMERA CALIBRATION WITH WEIGHTED TOTAL LEAST-SQUARES [PDF]
In order to improve the Tsai's two-step camera calibration method, we present a camera model which accounts for major sources of lens distortion, namely: radial, decentering, and thin prism distortions.

Greedy Sensor Selection for Weighted Linear Least Squares Estimation Under Correlated Noise
Optimization of sensor selection has been studied to monitor complex and large-scale systems with data-driven linear reduced-order modeling. An algorithm for greedy sensor selection is presented under the assumption of correlated noise in the sensor ...

Recursive weighted least squares estimation algorithm based on minimum model error principle
Kalman filter is commonly used in data filtering and parameters estimation of nonlinear system, such as projectile's trajectory estimation and control. While there is a drawback that the prior error covariance matrix and filter parameters are difficult ...
