The Nature of Statistical Learning Theory

by Vladimir N. Vapnik , 1999
"... Statistical learning theory was introduced in the late 1960’s. Until the 1990’s it was a purely theoretical analysis of the problem of function estimation from a given collection of data. In the middle of the 1990’s new types of learning algorithms (called support vector machines) based on the deve ..."

The Dantzig selector: statistical estimation when p is much larger than n

by Emmanuel Candes, Terence Tao , 2005
"... In many important statistical applications, the number of variables or parameters p is much larger than the number of observations n. Suppose then that we have observations y = Ax + z, where x ∈ R p is a parameter vector of interest, A is a data matrix with possibly far fewer rows than columns, n ≪ ..."

Estimating the number of clusters in a dataset via the Gap statistic

by Robert Tibshirani, Guenther Walther, Trevor Hastie , 2000
"... We propose a method (the \Gap statistic") for estimating the number of clusters (groups) in a set of data. The technique uses the output of any clustering algorithm (e.g. k-means or hierarchical), comparing the change in within cluster dispersion to that expected under an appropriate reference ..."

Statistical Analysis of Cointegrated Vectors

by Soren Johansen - Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control , 1988
"... We consider a nonstationary vector autoregressive process which is integrated of order 1, and generated by i.i.d. Gaussian errors. We then derive the maximum likelihood estimator of the space of cointegration vectors and the likelihood ratio test of the hypothesis that it has a given number of dimen ..."

Estimation and Inference in Econometrics

by James G. Mackinnon , 1993
"... The astonishing increase in computer performance over the past two decades has made it possible for economists to base many statistical inferences on simulated, or bootstrap, distributions rather than on distributions obtained from asymptotic theory. In this paper, I review some of the basic ideas o ..."

Experimental Estimates of Education Production Functions

by Alan B. Krueger - Princeton University, Industrial Relations Section Working Paper No. 379 , 1997
"... This paper analyzes data on 11,600 students and their teachers who were randomly assigned to different size classes from kindergarten through third grade. Statistical methods are used to adjust for nonrandom attrition and transitions between classes. The main conclusions are (1) on average, performa ..."

A Maximum Entropy approach to Natural Language Processing

by Adam L. Berger, Stephen A. Della Pietra , Vincent J. Della Pietra - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1996
"... The concept of maximum entropy can be traced back along multiple threads to Biblical times. Only recently, however, have computers become powerful enough to permit the widescale application of this concept to real world problems in statistical estimation and pattern recognition. In this paper we des ..."

Model-Based Clustering, Discriminant Analysis, and Density Estimation

by Chris Fraley, Adrian E. Raftery - JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION , 2000
"... Cluster analysis is the automated search for groups of related observations in a data set. Most clustering done in practice is based largely on heuristic but intuitively reasonable procedures and most clustering methods available in commercial software are also of this type. However, there is little ..."

for model-based clustering that provides a principled statistical approach to these issues. We also show that this can be useful for other problems in multivariate analysis, such as discriminant analysis and multivariate density estimation. We give examples from medical diagnosis, mineeld detection, cluster

Statistical Estimation

by unknown authors
"... In the long h story of legislative roll call analyses, there continues to exist a particularly tro bling problem: There is no satisfactory method for measuring the relative im ortance or significance of individual roll calls. A measure of roll call significance 1 would be intersting in and of itself ..."

The consequence of this situation is that undreds of researchers risk heteroskedastic disturbances (resulting in inefficient es imates and biased standard errors and test statistics), are unable to appropriate1
