We propose new semiparametric estimators for parameters that depend on the derivatives (up to any finite order) of unknown conditional expectations and densities.
This paper analyzes the properties of standard estimators, tests, and confidence sets (CS's) for parameters that are unidentified or weakly identified in some parts of the parameter space.
This paper is concerned with tests and confidence intervals for parameters that are not necessarily identified and are defined by moment inequalities.
This then allows us to deduce optimal ranges for parameters that need to be used in SPH.
Given a micro-appearance model and photographs of the fabric under many different lighting conditions, we optimize for parameters that best match the photographs using a method based on calculating derivatives during rendering.
The calibration technique uses individual calibration curves for each pixel in the image array that correct for the non-uniformities of the laser sheet, optics and digital sensor and account for parameters that affect fluorescence efficiency of the dye.
Methods are provided for an adaptive closed testing procedure, for calculating overall adjusted p-values, and for obtaining unbiased estimators and confidence bounds for parameters that are invariant to modifications.
This paper presents two strategies based on shape sensitivity analysis to partially address this limitation of the POD for parameters that define the geometry of the problem at hand (design or shape parameters).
The statistical difference disappears for parameters that depend on the number and area of disconnected parts of marrow space or trabecular structure in a nonlinear manner, that is, marrow and trabecular disconnection probabilities, two-point distance and second moment of marrow cavities area distribution.
It is shown that although the errors of evaluation are quite large for low-resolution images, the statistical difference present in the original data is still observed for parameters that depend only on the global characteristics of trabecular structure or marrow space, or depend only linearly on the number and area of disconnected parts of marrow space or trabecular structure.
Absolute plate motion models (or "reference frames") derived using different methodologies, different subsets of hotspots, or differing assumptions of hotspot motion, have contrasting implications for parameters that describe the long term state of the plate mantle system, such as the balance between advance and retreat of subduction zones, plate velocities, and net lithospheric rotation.
