Density Deconvolution with Replicate Measurements and Auxiliary Data

McIntyre, Julie P. - 2003

We present two deconvolution estimators for the density function of a random variable X that is measured with error … estimator generalizes the deconvolution estimator of Stefanski and Carroll (1990), with the measurement error variances … study and an example.The second is a semi-parametric deconvolution estimator that assumes the availability of a covariate …

Statistical Inverse Problems on Graphs with Application to Flow Volume Estimation in Computer Networks.

Singhal, Harsh - 2009

context.First, we study the problem of identifiability of joint distribution of flow volumes in a computer network from … dependence. We introduce a number of models that capture spatial, temporal and inter-modal (i.e. between packets and bytes)dependence … between flow-volumes. We provide sufficient, sometimes necessary, conditions for the identifiability of the flow volumes …

Solving and Testing for Regressor-Error (in)Dependence When no Instrumental Variables are Available: With New Evidence for the Effect of Education on Income

Ebbes, Peter; Wedel, Michel; Böckenholt, Ulf; … - 2005

This paper has two main contributions. Firstly, we introduce a new approach, the latent instrumental variables (LIV) method, to estimate regression coefficients consistently in a simple linear regression model where regressor-error correlations (endogeneity) are likely to be present. The LIV...

An overview of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) in the petroleum industry

Smith, K.P. - 2008

Oil and gas extraction and processing operations sometimes accumulate naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) at concentrations above normal in by-product waste streams. Results from NORM surveys indicate that radionuclide concentrations can be quite variable, ranging from undetectable...
