A framework for estimating risk
Kroon, Rodney Stephen - 2008
We consider the problem of model assessment by risk estimation. Variousapproaches to risk estimation are considered in a uni ed framework. This a discussion of various complexity dimensions and approaches to obtainingbounds on covering numbers is also presented.The second type of training sample...

Determination of the optimal number of strata for bias reduction in propensity score matching.
Akers, Allen - 2010
Previous research implementing stratification on the propensity score has generally relied on using five strata, based on prior theoretical groundwork and minimal empirical evidence as to the suitability of quintiles to adequately reduce bias in all cases and across all sample sizes. This study...

Theoretical Results and Applications Related to Dimension Reduction
Chen, Jie - 2007
To overcome the curse of dimensionality, dimension reduction is important andnecessary for understanding the underlying phenomena in a variety of fields.Dimension reduction is the transformation of high-dimensional data into ameaningful representation in the low-dimensional space. It can be...

Folded Variance Estimators for Stationary Time Series
Antonini, Claudia - 2005
This thesis is concerned with simulation output analysis. In particular, we are inter-ested in estimating the variance parameter of a steady-state output process. The estimationof the variance parameter has immediate applications in problems involving (i) the precisionof the sample mean as a...

A non-iterative alternative to ordinal log-linear models
Beh, Eric John; Davy, Pamela J. - University of Wollongong; University of Western Sydney; … - 2004
Log-linear modeling is a popular statistical tool for analysing a contingency table. This presentation focuses on an alternative approach to modeling ordinal categorical data. The technique, based on orthogonal polynomials, provides a much simpler method of model fitting than the conventional...
