  • A scale parameter is the principal parameter to be estimated, since it corresponds to one of the main reliability characteristics, namely the average time to failure. To provide robustness of scale estimators to gross errors in the data, we apply the Huber minimax approach in time to failure models of the statistical reliability theory. The minimax valiance estimator of scale is obtained in the important particular case of the exponential distribution.

  • The Lloyd-Max algorithm is an iterative scheme for design of the minimum mean square error quantizer. It is very simple in concept and easy to program into a computer. However its convergence and accuracy are primarily dependent upon the accuracy of the initial parameter. In this paper, a new initial parameter which converges to a specific value when the number of output levels becomes large is selected. And an estimator using curve fitting techique is suggested. In addition, performance of the proposed method is shown to be superior to that of the existing methods in accuracy and convergence.

  • We propose some estimators of the location parameter and derive the approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) of the scale parameter in the exponential distribution based on multiply Type-II censored samples. We calculate the moments for the proposed estimators of the location parameter, and the AMLEs which are the linear functions of the order statistics. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error (MSE) for various censored samples.

  • We consider in this paper the following nonlinear regression model $$ (1.1) y_t = f(x_t, \theta_o) + \in_t, t = 1, \ldots, n, $$ where $y_t$ is the tth response, $x_t$ is m-vector imput variable, $\theta_o$ is a p-vector of unknown parameter belong to a parameter space $\Theta, f:R^m \times \Theta \ to R^1$ is a nonlinear known function, and $\in_t$ are independent unobservable random errors with finite second moment.

  • We study the adaptive stabilization of the Van der Pol equation. A parameter update law is designed by the immersion and invariance method, and is used in conjunction with both the feedback linearization and backstepping control laws. Simulation results show that the responses obtained in the adaptive case are very similar to the known parameter case, and the parameter estimator converges to the true value.

  • We shall propose several estimators for the scale parameter in a uniform distri-bution with a generalized uniform outlier when the scale parameter is a function of a known exposure level, and obtain expectations and variances for their proposed estima-tors. And we shall compare numerically efficiencies for proposed estimators of changed parameters of the scale in the small sample sizes.

  • This paper addresses the issues of the parameter error detection and identification in power system. The parameter error identification is carried out as part of the state estimation procedure. The weighted least absolute value(WLAV) estimation method is used for this procedure. The standard formulation of the state estimation problem is modified to include the effects of the parameter errors as well. A two step procedure for the detection and identification of faulted parameters is proposed. Supporting examples are given using IEEE 14 bus system.

  • The smoothing parameter or bandwidth is crucial to performance of the kernel based regression estimator. So the choice of a "optimal" smoothing parameter produce a single curve estimate. If a single estimate is replaced by a family of estimates, it become easy that we understand what varies with choice of the smoothing parameter. This paper suggests the threshold of the maximum bandwidth and the number of the family members in the regression context.n context.

  • We considered a bootstrap method for constructing confidenc intervals for a one parameter model using multinomial sampling. The convergence rates or the proposed bootstrap method are calculated for model-based maximum likelihood estimators(MLE) using multinomial sampling. Monte Carlo simulation was used to compare the performance of bootstrap methods with normal approximations in terms of the average coverage probability criterion.

  • In this survey, we use the normal linear model to demonstrate the use of the linear Bayes method. The superiorities of linear Bayes estimator (LBE) over the classical UMVUE and MLE are established in terms of the mean squared error matrix (MSEM) criterion. Compared with the usual Bayes estimator (obtained by the MCMC method) the proposed LBE is simple and easy to use with numerical results presented to illustrate its performance. We also examine the applications of linear Bayes method to some other distributions including two-parameter exponential family, uniform distribution and inverse Gaussian distribution, and finally make some remarks.
