Estimators with Prescribed Bound on the Variance for the Parameters in the Binomial and Poisson Distributions, Based on Two-Stage Sampling

The problem of unbiased estimation of the parameter θ in the binomial and Poisson distributions is considered. The variance of the estimate is required not to exceed a preassigned bound, B. For the ...

Sequential Estimation of the Mean of a Negative Binomial Distribution

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A procedure is proposed to estimate the mean of a negative binomial distribution when the value of the exponent, k, is known. The procedure is ...

Quasi-Likelihood Functions

For binomial and Poisson distributions, the scale parameter has a value of 1. The variance of Y is for the binomial distribution and for the Poisson distribution. Overdispersion occurs when the ...

Analysis of Variance for Mixed and Random Effect Models

Just as PROC GLM is the flagship procedure for fixed-effect linear models, the MIXED procedure is the flagship procedure for random- and mixed-effect linear models. PROC MIXED fits a variety of mixed ...
