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...

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...
