estimation of the welfareindices, two resampling techniques, viz. jackknife and bootstrap, are discussed.They are used for the … estimation of bias and standard error under simple randomsampling and complex sampling. Three con dence intervals are discussed …, viz. standard(asymptotic), percentile and bootstrap-t. An overview of welfare indices andtheir estimation is given. The …

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 …
