Abstract:
In fixed item parameter calibration (FIPC), an item response theory (IRT) model is estimated with item parameters fixed at reference values to estimate the distribution parameters within a specific group. The presence of random differential item functioning (DIF) within this group introduces additional variability in the distribution parameter estimates, which is captured by the linking error (LE). Conventional LE estimates, based on item jackknife methods, are subject to positive bias due to sampling errors. To address this, this article introduces a bias-corrected LE estimate. Moreover, the

Abstract:
A new method for estimating individual variability in the von Bertalanffy growth parameters of fish species is presented. The method uses a nonlinear random effects model, which explicitly assumes that an individual's growth parameters represent samples from a multivariate population of growth parameters characteristic of a species or population. The method was applied to backcalculated length-at-age data from the tropical emperor, Lethrinus mahsena. Individual growth parameter variability estimates were compared with those derived using the current "standard" method, which characterizes the j

Abstract:
AbstractThe classical twin design (CTD) circumvents parameter indeterminacy by assuming (1) negligible higher-order epistasis; and (2) either nonadditive genetic or common environmental effects are nonexistent, creating two potential sources of bias (Eaves et al., 1978; Grayson, 1989). Because the extended twin-family design (ETFD) uses many more unique covariance observations to estimate parameters, common environmental and nonadditive genetic parameters can be simultaneously estimated. The ETFD thereby corrects for what is likely to be the largest of the two sources of bias in CTD parameter

Abstract:
This paper deals with an observer-based nonlinear system parameter identification method utilizing repetitive excitation. Although methods for physical parameter identification of both linear and nonlinear systems are already available, they are not attractive from a practical point of view since the methods assume that all the system, x, and the system input are available. The proposed method is based on a “sliding observer” and a least-square method. A sufficient condition for the convergence of the parameter estimates is provided in the case of “Lipschitz” nonlinear second-order systems. Th

Real world groundwater aquifers are heterogeneous and system variables are not uniformly distributed across the aquifer. Therefore, in the modelling of the contaminant transport, we need to consider the uncertainty associated with the system.

In this paper, this method was explored by using artificial and experimental data. First a set of data was used to explore the effect of system noise on estimated parameters. The experimental dat

Abstract:
Plausible values can be used to either estimate population-level statistics or compute point estimates of latent variables. While it is well known that five plausible values are usually sufficient for accurate estimation of population-level statistics in large-scale surveys, the minimum number of plausible values needed to obtain accurate latent variable point estimates is unclear. This is especially relevant when an item response theory (IRT) model is estimated with MCMC (Markov chain Monte Carlo) methods in Mplus and point estimates of the IRT ability parameter are of interest, as Mplus only

Abstract:
Hierarchical / random effect models provide a statistical framework for estimating variance parameters that describe temporal and spatial variability of vital rates in population dynamic models. In practice, estimates of variance parameters (e.g., process error) from these models are often confused with estimates of uncertainty about model parameter estimates (e.g., standard errors). These two sources of “error” have different implications for predictions from stochastic models. Estimates of process error (or variability) are useful for describing the magnitude of variation in vital rates over

Abstract:
Parameter estimation on heavily censored data is a challenging issue. This paper addresses this issue using a two-step single-parameter maximum likelihood method to estimate mean time to failure (MTTF) and Weibull shape parameter (WSP). The first step fits the data to three one-parameter auxiliary models, which are special cases of a two-parameter quasi-normal distribution with nonnegative support, to obtain three estimates of the MTTF. The second step estimates the WSP through fixing each of the MTTF estimates. The best estimates are selected from three pairs of estimates based on appropriate

For parameter inversion problems governed by systems of partial differential equations, such as those arising in Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT), even the cost of repeated objective function evaluation can be overwhelming. Despite the linear (in the state variable) nature of the DOT problem, the nonlinear parameter inversion process is dominated by the computational burden of solving a large linear system for each source and frequency. To compute the Jacobian for use in Newton-type methods, an adjoint solve is required for each detector and frequency. When a three-dimensional tomography probl

Parameters were estimated using nonlinear multiresponse estimation techniques, and the distributional characteristics of the parameter estimates were calculated.

Global economic models with explicit treatment of global land markets are crucial to understanding the consequences of different policy choices on global food and environmental security.

When fitting observations from a complex survey, the standard regression model assumes that the expected value of the difference between the dependent variable and its model-based prediction is zero, regardless of the values of the explanatory variables.

When the standard model holds, it is possible to create alternative analysis weights that retain the consistency of the model-parameter estimates while increasing their efficiency by scaling the inverse-probabili

With the proliferation of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) over the past decade, demand for quantitative analysis of their likely impacts has surged. The main quantitative tool for performing such analysis is Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling. Yet these models have been widely criticized for performing poorly (Kehoe, 2002) and having weak econometric foundations (McKitrick, 1998; Jorgenson, 1984). FTA results have been shown to be particularly sensitive to the trade elasticities, with small trade elasticities generating large terms of trade effects and relatively modest efficiency gain
