Sentence examples for be a consistent estimate from inspiring English sources

If we now consider data from a case-control study, the empirical prevalence π will no longer be a consistent estimate of the true prevalence, which we shall denote by π0, since the cases are often overrepresented.

However, a p i calculated from a logistic regression model in a case-control study will no longer be a consistent estimate of the probability that the individual i has the disease.

Moreover, the globally computed quotient c xy = g xy / g x g y would be a consistent estimate of p xy / p y. Thus the separate terms of Σ | r xy - c xy | tend to zero as 1/√ n and the same must obviously apply to δ*.

Assume that F ˆ is a consistent estimate of F such that p sup x | F ˆ ( x ) − F ( x ) | → p → ∞ P 0. (2).

Assume that F ˆ is a consistent estimate of F / Λ ( T max ) such that N a, p ( [ 0, T max ] ) sup x ∈ [ 0, T max ] | F ˆ ( x ) − F ( x ) | → p → ∞ P 0. (4).

Under some regularity conditions, the maximum likelihood estimate of γ from the misspecified model (2) is a consistent estimate of γ ∗.

It is well-known that the periodogram is not a good spectral estimator since it is not a consistent estimate, i.e. its variance does not decrease with the sample size.

In line with the fact that the empirical prevalence π = a' + c' is not a consistent estimate of the true prevalence π0, the quantities a', b', c' and d' are no consistent estimates of the true proportions of true positive, false positive, false negative and true negative results, respectively.

These various studies produced trees that are largely congruent with those generated in this paper suggesting that the Campanulaceae cpDNA gene order data are providing a consistent estimate of phylogenetic relationships given any logical method of scoring and analysis.

However, the availability of such an option does not mean that its output may be interpreted as a consistent estimate of a probability.

Due to the variability of the properties within the input motions, a relatively large number of simulations needs to be performed to obtain a consistent estimate of the site response [2].
