Approximate Maximum-Likelihood Estimation Of Circle Parameters Using A Phase-Coded Kernel
Zelniker, Emanuel; Clarkson, Ian Vaughan L. - 2004
The accurate fitting of a circle to noisy measurements of points on its circumference is an important and much-studied problem in statistics. Atherton & Kerbyson (Image and Vision Computing 17, 1999, 795-803) have proposed a complex convolutional circle parameter estimator. One of the estimators...

Statistical Methods for Nonlinear Dynamic Models with Measurement Error Using the Ricker Model
Resendes, David Joseph - 2011
In ecological population management, years of animal counts are fit to nonlinear, dynamic models (e.g. the Ricker model) because the values of the parameters are of interest. The yearly counts are subject to measurement error, which inevitably leads to biased estimates and adversely affects...

Estimation of Sector Sales and Employment Changes Associated with Solar Space and Water Heating Development
Petersen, H. Craig - 1979
There is little available information on sector-specific sales and employment impacts of a large-scale solar space and water heating industry. This study identifies those sectors of the economy which would be most affected by increased solar utilization and estimates the magnitude of the...

Polynomial chaos-based parameter estimation methods applied to a vehicle system
Blanchard, Emmanuel D; Sandu, Adrian; Sandu, Corina - 2010
Parameter estimation for large systems is a difficult problem, and the solution approaches are computationally … uncertainties on the system response. This article compares two new computational approaches for parameter estimation based on the … polynomial chaos theory for parameter estimation: a Bayesian approach, and an approach using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) to …

Empirical Essays on the Elasticity of Substitution, Technical Change, and Economic Growth
Pereira, Claudiney M - 2003
We estimate the elasticity of substitution using two different production functions. The usual Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production function and a Box-Cox production function for Japan (1890-1991), UK (1870-1991), and US (1890-1992; 1929-2000). The main results are that we find the...

Discretization of Lévy semistationary processes with application to estimation
Bennedsen, Mikkel; Lunde, Asger; Pakkanen, Mikko S. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2014
Motivated by the construction of the Itô stochastic integral, we consider a step function method to discretize and simulate volatility modulated Lévy semistationary processes. Moreover, we assess the accuracy of the method with a particular focus on integrating kernels with a singularity at...
