Assessing solution quality in stochastic programs
Determining if a solution is optimal or near optimal is fundamental in optimization theory, algorithms, and computation. For instance, Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions provide necessa...

On the estimation of the linear relation when the error variances are known
The problem of consistent estimation in measurement error models in a linear relation with not necessarily normally distributed measurement errors is considered. Three possible es...

Estimation of fractional integration in the presence of data noise
The paper presents a comparative study on the performance of commonly used estimators of the fractional order of integration when data is contaminated by noise. In particular, meas...

From the entropy to the statistical structure of spike trains
— We use statistical estimates of the entropy rate of spike train data in order to make inferences about the underlying structure of the spike train itself. We first examine a n...

Channel Capacity Estimation using Free Probability Theory
—In many channel measurement applications, one needs to estimate some characteristics of the channels based on a limited set of measurements. This is mainly due to the highly tim...

Optimizing Control Variate Estimators for Rendering
We present the Optimizing Control Variate (OCV) estimator, a new estimator for Monte Carlo rendering. Based upon a deterministic sampling framework, OCV allows multiple importance...

Ratio estimators for the population variance in simple and stratified random sampling
We propose some ratio-type variance estimators using ratio estimators for the population mean in literature. We obtain mean square error (MSE) equations of proposed estimators and...

Robustness of Fourier estimator of integrated volatility in the presence of microstructure noise
The finite sample properties of the Fourier estimator of integrated volatility under market microstructure noise are studied. Analytic expressions for the bias and the mean square...

Fast robust estimation of prediction error based on resampling
Robust estimators of the prediction error of a linear model are proposed. The estimators are based on the resampling techniques cross-validation and bootstrap. The robustness of t...

Statistical and Computational Tradeoffs in Stochastic Composite Likelihood
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...
