Sentence examples for in contrast to parametric methods from inspiring English sources

In contrast to parametric methods, the Bayesian approach treats the desired parameters as random variable with a-priori known statistics.

Besides its simplicity (function with explicit close form, in contrast to parametric methods such as Bayesian shrinkages [9 14]), the main features of the SigShrink functions in image processing are the following.

In contrast to parametric methods such as SFA, the non-parametric properties of DEA provide that required flexibility (33).

In contrast to parametric methods such as stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), DEA has the advantage of not requiring that any assumptions be made about the functional form of the production or cost frontier.

Moreover, NPAG software calculates the likelihood function exactly and thus possesses statistical consistency in contrast to parametric approaches, many of which (but certainly not all) use only approximate methods; first order (FO), first-order conditional estimation (FOCE), for example, to calculate the likelihood.

In contrast to normal parametric methods, the bootstrap method used had the advantage of analyzing the dataset presented here, regardless of skewed distributions of all outcome variables and low sample size.

In contrast to other parametric models, this method is based on meaningful and intuitive parameters like the detection limit, the dilution factor and the saturation level.

This is in contrast to methods that fit a parametric model to calculate power, such as Scotty (Busby et al., 2013).

In contrast to traditional methods, our approach addresses the multi-target tracking problem using the M-component non-parametric mixture model, where each component (every landmark point) is modeled with an individual particle filter that forms part of the mixture.

This conversion was done to allow for direct comparison to parametric methods discussed in the literature.

The speed advantage of sample-based methods compared to parametric methods like GMM has been reported in [17].
