Maximum likelihood from incomplete data via the EM algorithm

by A. P. Dempster, N. M. Laird, D. B. Rubin - JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY, SERIES B , 1977
"... A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone behaviour of the likelihood and convergence of the algorithm is derived. Many examples are sketched, including missing value situat ..."

Bootstrapping the Stein Variance Estimator

by Akio Namba, Kazuhiro Ohtani
"... This paper applies the bootstrap methods proposed by Efron (1979) to the Stein variance estimator proposed by Stein (1964). It is shown by Monte Carlo experiments that the parametric bootstrap yields the considerable accurate estimates of mean, standard error and confidence limits of the Stein va ..."

On the Variance Estimation of Regression Estimator

by N R Das , R K Nayak , L N Sahoo
"... Abstract In this paper, an attempt has been made to estimate variance of the classical regression estimator. Adopting some available techniques used for estimation of population variance under classical as well as predictive approach, we develop eight new variance estimators of the classical regres ..."

Variance Estimation for Domains

by unknown authors , 2005
"... publishes monthly estimates of employment levels, one of the key indicators of the U.S. economy, for many domains. To assess the quality of these estimates, it is important to publish their associated standard error estimates. In our simulation study, the standard designbased variance estimators of ..."

Chapter 12. Variance Estimation

by unknown authors
"... Sampling error is the difference between an estimate based on a sample and the corresponding value that would be obtained if the estimate were based on the entire population (as from a census). Note that sample-based estimates will vary depending on the particular sample selected from the population ..."

Measures of the magnitude of sampling error, such as the variance and the standard error (the square root of the variance), reflect the variation in the estimates over all possible samples that could have been selected from the population using the same sampling methodology.

Variance Estimates and Model Selection

by Sidika Basci, Asad Zaman , 1998
"... The large majority of the criteria for model selection are functions of the # 2 , the usual variance estimate for a regression model. The validity of the usual variance estimate depends on some assumptions, most critically the validity of the model being estimated. This is often violated in model se ..."

Derandomizing and Rerandomizing Variance Estimators

by Shane G. Henderson , Peter W. Glynn , 1997
"... This technical report is meant to accompany the paper [7] and should be read in conjunction with that work. It describes several concepts which were alluded to in [7] but not elaborated on. We give algorithms for computing the derandomized estimator, introduce the concept of rerandomization, examine ..."

, examine heuristically the question of how the derandomized and standard variance estimators behave as the splitting constants get small, and consider the use of the derandomized estimator in sequential stopping situations.
