The multiple comparisons methods and the analysis of variance are not reliable alternatives for comparing two or more binomial proportions, when the experiments have only Bernoulli trails. Although, this comparison can be made using the intensive computational techniques named infinite bootstrap. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of two binomial proportions bootstrap tests computing the experimentwise type I error rates and the power. These two infinite bootstrap tests distinguished on the estimators of pi. One of these tests considered the maximum likelihood estimator (ML) and the other the Pan s estimator (Pan, 2002) and they were evaluated in different configurations considering the number of populations and the parameters values, resultant of 2000 Monte Carlo simulations. In the first stage the experimentwise type I error rates were evaluated under complete null and partial H0 hypotheses. The simulations under complete H0 were done in all combinations between parameters values p= 0.1; 0.5 and 0.9, number of populations k=2, 5 and 10 and sample sizes n=10, 30 and 100. The experimentwise type I error rate was also evaluated under partial H0 considering a difference of between values of p of distinct groups. In a second stage the powers of the tests were evaluated under partial H0 and alternative hypotheses. Both simulations were done using 1% and 5% significance level. PanÂs and ML bootstrap tests showed excellent performance, because experimentwise error rate were always under their nominal levels. Powers of both procedures were high and they know best performance with extreme proportions and small sample sizes n<10, when PanÂs bootstrap test is preferable.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a performance de dois testes de booststrap envolvendo proporÃÃes binomiais, computando o erro tipo I por experimento e o Poder. Esses dois testes de bootstrap infinito se diferenciam pelos estimadores de pi utilizados. Em um dos testes foi considerado o estimador de mÃxima verossimilhanÃa (MV) e, no outro, o estimador de Pan (Pan, 2002) que foram avaliados em diferentes configuraÃÃes envolvendo nÃmero de populaÃÃes e valores dos parÃmetros ni e pi.

Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματεύεται την μελέτη της μεθόδου Bootstrap στα πλαίσια συμπλήρωσης των ελλείψεων της DEA, κατά τον υπολογισμό της τεχνικής αποτελεσματικότητας διαφόρων μονάδων λήψης αποφάσεων. Πιο συγκεκριμένα θα μελετηθεί η Bootstrap ως μέσο για τον υπολογισμό της μεροληψίας, και διαστημάτων εμπιστοσύνης των efficiency scores που προκύπτουν από την χρήση της DEA. Όπως θα φανεί, η DEA, ως μία εφαρμογή του γραμμικού προγραμματισμού, αποτελεί μία μη παραμετρική μέθοδο υπολογισμού της τεχνικής αποτελεσματικότητας και χαρακτηρίζεται από το μειονέκτημα της έλλειψης στατιστικών μεγεθών καθώς και την αδυναμία να ξεχωρίσει τον θόρυβο από την αναποτελεσματικότητα. Η Bootstrap από την άλλη, αποτελεί μία επαναληπτική εφαρμογή της DEA, η οποία καλείται να δώσει λύση στα παραπάνω προβλήματα. Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής είναι να ελέγξει τον βαθμό στον οποίο η Bootstrap καταφέρνει να εκπληρώσει αυτή την αποστολή. Για το σκοπό αυτό χρησιμοποιούνται πραγματικά δεδομένα που αφορούν ιχθυοκαλλιέργειες που δραστηριοποιούνται στην ελληνική επικράτεια, ενώ οι υπολογισμοί γίνονται μέσω των προγραμμάτων DEAP και PIM – DEA v2.0.

The present diplomatic essay treats the study of Bootstrap method within the bounds of completion of DEA deficiencies during the estimation of technical efficiency of several decision-making units. More precisely it will be scrutinized bootstrap as a mean of estimating biasness and the confidence intervals of the efficiency scores, which arise from the use of DEA. As it will be come clear, DEA as an implementation of linear programming, constitutes a non-parametric method of estimating technical efficiency and is characterized by the drawback of non-distinguishing the noise by the inefficiency. On the other hand, bootstrap constitutes a repetitive implementation of DEA, which is assigned to give a solution to the above questions. The purpose of this essay is to verify the degree in which bootstrap completes this mission. For this reason there are used real data, which concern fish farms that are placed in Greek territory while, the calculations are executed through the programs DEAP and PIM – DEA V2.0

▼ This thesis presents simple efficient algorithms to estimate distribution parameters and to construct prediction intervals for location-scale families. Specifically, we study two scenarios: one is a frequentist method for a general location – scale family and then extend to a 3-parameter distribution, another is a Bayesian method for the Gumbel distribution. At the end of the thesis, a generalized bootstrap resampling scheme is proposed to construct prediction intervals for data with an unknown distribution. Our estimator construction begins with the equivariance principle, and then makes use of unbiasedness principle. These two estimates have closed form and are functions of the sample mean, sample standard deviation, sample size, as well as the mean and variance of a corresponding standard distribution. Next, we extend the previous result to estimate a 3-parameter distribution which we call a mixed method. A central idea of the mixed method is to estimate the location and scale parameters as functions of the shape parameter. The sample mean is a popular estimator for the population mean. The mean squared error (MSE) of the sample mean is often large, however, when the sample size is small or the scale parameter is greater than the location parameter. To reduce the MSE of our location estimator, we introduce an adaptive estimator. We will illustrate this by the example of the power Gumbel distribution. The frequentist approach is often criticized as failing to take into account the uncertainty of an unknown parameter, whereas a Bayesian approach incorporates such uncertainty. The present Bayesian analysis for the Gumbel data is achieved numerically as it is hard to obtain an explicit form. We tackle the problem by providing an approximation to the exponential sum of Gumbel random variables. Next, we provide two efficient methods to construct prediction intervals. The first one is a Monte Carlo method for a general location-scale family, based on our previous parameter estimation. Another is the Gibbs sampler, a special case of Markov Chain Monte Carlo. We derive the predictive distribution by making use of an approximation to the exponential sum of Gumbel random variables . Finally, we present a new generalized bootstrap and show that Efron's bootstrap re-sampling is a special case of the new re-sampling scheme. Our result overcomes the issue of the bootstrap of its ``inability to draw samples outside the range of the original dataset.'' We give an applications for constructing prediction intervals, and simulation shows that generalized bootstrap is better than that of the bootstrap when the sample size is small. The last contribution in this thesis is an improved GRS method used in nuclear engineering for construction of non-parametric tolerance intervals for percentiles of an unknown distribution. Our result shows that the required sample size can be reduced by a factor of almost two when the distribution is symmetric. The confidence level is computed for a number of distributions and… Advisors/Committee Members: Hoppe, Fred M., Mathematics and Statistics.

▼ Welfare measures in non-market valuation can be biased by nonrandom sampling or nonlinear transformation of estimated parameters. This dissertation consists of two studies focusing on correcting each type of bias. The first study compares the performances of the delta method, jackknife, and bootstrap in correcting nonlinear transformation bias through Monte Carlo simulation. The simulated models include Poisson, logit, probit, and misspecified probit. The results indicate that the delta method and jackknife can correct the bias of welfare measures for the listed models. With distributional misspecification, the delta method outperforms the jackknife. The bootstrap result has more expected bias, but also the smallest mean square error, especially when the sample size is large enough. Furthermore, the delta method was modified by correcting the bias of estimated parameters beforehand, and then adding the first order bias term or replacing parameter estimates with corrected ones. The simulation results show that adding first order bias term can lower the MSE of willingness to pay(WTP) estimates at the cost of increasing their expected bias. The simulation results show that the delta method is also effective to estimate median WTP. The second study address the sampling bias decomposed as one part correlated with covariates and the other part correlated with the result variable. Non-response is common in surveys used in non-market valuation studies which can bias the parameter estimates and mean WTP estimates. One approach to correct this bias is to reweight the sample so that the distribution of the characteristic variables of the sample can match that of the population. Kernel Mean Matching (KMM) is used to produce resampling weights in a non-parametric manner. KMM’s performance is tested through Monte Carlo simulations under multiple scenarios and it is shown that KMM can effectively correct mean WTP estimates, especially when the sample size is small and sampling process depends on covariates. The results also reveal KMM’s robustness to skewed bid design and model misspecification.

▼ Uncertainty is an integral part of fisheries stock assessment. Successful resource management requires scientific analysis to evaluate the uncertainty about the status of each stock and related quantities of interest. A failure to incorporate uncertainty into management advice increases the risk of suboptimal yields and can lead to a fishery collapse. In practice, it is not always clear which features of stock assessment data make them informative or uninformative, and it is also unclear how well different statistical methods are likely to perform when evaluating uncertainty. This study uses simulation analysis to measure the performance of alternative methods, based on a large number of simulated datasets where the underlying true values are known. The methods are then applied to data from an actual fishery, and the overall inference takes into account the performance of the methods in the simulations. The results show that the historical levels of stock size and harvest rate greatly affect how informative the data are about the current stock status. The key parameters natural mortality M and stock-recruitment steepness h pose challenges when it comes to statistical estimation, and long-term management advice is likely to depend strongly on the estimated or assumed values of M and h. The most informative fishing history is one where the data include years of high and low stock size, which is informative about h, as well as high and low harvest rates, which is informative about M. The results also indicate that confidence intervals describing the uncertainty about the stock status and other quantities of interest are likely to be too narrow in general. Benchmark analysis indicates that the delta method, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), and profile likelihood approaches are likely to perform better than the bootstrap for quantifying uncertainty. A bias correction algorithm for the bootstrap improved its performance, but not enough to match the performance of the other methods. Additional approaches to evaluate the estimation uncertainty include retrospective analysis and bivariate confidence regions for the current stock status. The use of harvest control rules to incorporate uncertainty into management advice is also discussed. The main value of this study is to present a comprehensive overview and evaluation of methods to analyze uncertainty. The study concludes with a checklist of recommendations for confronting uncertainty in stock assessment. Advisors/Committee Members: Hilborn, Ray (advisor).

The aim was to ensure a maximum concentration of impurities in the product—primarily carbon and sulphur. The mean value of sulphur found in the input material varied over time. Consequently, a suitable statistical method was needed to ensure product quality for the prospective customer as they required that the sulphur content of the proposed product never exceed 500 ppm.The aim was, on the one hand, to process and compile the sampling results in accordance with a suitable statistical method which enabled reasonable conclusions about the product quality and, on the other hand, to answer three key queries that SMA Mineral AB posed:• to investigate whether the product’s sulphur content was affected during conveyance through the lime plant;• to investigate whether sampling at various time intervals may have been a factor which affected the product’s sulphur content;• to investigate whether there was, or were, any particular times of day at which the sulphur content always maintained the correct level.A number of phases were required to find answers to these questions. The planning phase was initiated by a visit to Rättvik, with the purpose of gaining an overall picture of how work at the plant was conducted as well as which guidelines and regulations were in effect. After this visit, a project plan was drawn up in order to serve as support for further work.The sampling campaign took place during the period of 13–16 April 2015 and analysis of the collected material was carried out the following week at the company’s laboratory in Persberg, Sweden. However, the results from the sampling campaign did not provide sufficient basis for answering the company’s questions, which is why data from SMA Mineral AB’s own data collection was used. Data collected during the sampling campaign proved to follow normal distribution. Subsequently, the statistical analysis of variance method, ANOVA, was applied in order to investigate whether the sulphur content changed with respect to the time interval and the sampling site. The test results demonstrated p-values under 0.005, which meant that neither the sampling site nor the sampling time intervals had an effect on the product’s sulphur content. The company’s question, whether there were daily time intervals of acceptable sulphur content in the product, was answered with the assistance of the company’s own data collection, which demonstrated that it did not follow normal distribution. For that reason, the bootstrap method was used to create confidence intervals for the different points in time. The result showed that there were no points in time during which acceptable material was produced. One reason for this is the occurrence of a set of deviating values that were observed to have a sulphur content that exceeded 1,000 ppm. This report presents recommendations for various measures…

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of the parametric bootstrap method and to compare the parametric and nonparametric bootstrap methods for estimating the standard error of equating (SEE) under the common-item nonequivalent groups (CINEG) design with the frequency estimation (FE) equipercentile method under a variety of simulated conditions. When the performance of the parametric bootstrap method was investigated, bivariate polynomial log-linear models were employed to fit the data. With the consideration of the different polynomial degrees and two different numbers of cross-product moments, a total of eight parametric bootstrap models were examined. Two real datasets were used as the basis to define the population distributions and the "true" SEEs. A simulation study was conducted reflecting three levels for group proficiency differences, three levels of sample sizes, two test lengths and two ratios of the number of common items and the total number of items. Bias of the SEE, standard errors of the SEE, root mean square errors of the SEE, and their corresponding weighted indices were calculated and used to evaluate and compare the simulation results. The main findings from this simulation study were as follows: (1) The parametric bootstrap models with larger polynomial degrees generally produced smaller bias but larger standard errors than those with lower polynomial degrees. (2) The parametric bootstrap models with a higher order cross product moment (CPM) of two generally yielded more accurate estimates of the SEE than the corresponding models with the CPM of one. (3) The nonparametric bootstrap method generally produced less accurate estimates of the SEE than the parametric bootstrap method. However, as the sample size increased, the differences between the two bootstrap methods became smaller. When the sample size was equal to or larger than 3,000, the differences between the nonparametric bootstrap method and the parametric bootstrap model that produced the smallest RMSE were very small. (4) Of all the models considered in this study, parametric bootstrap models with the polynomial degree of four performed better under most simulation conditions. (5) Aside from method effects, sample size and test length had the most impact on estimating the SEE. Group proficiency differences and the ratio of the number of common items to the total number of items had little effect on a short test, but had slight effect on a long test.

Ce travail de thèse doctorale traite l'analyse de la vulnérabilité des systèmes critiques pour la sécurité (par exemple, les centrales nucléaires) dans un cadre qui combine les disciplines de l'analyse des risques et de la prise de décision de multi-critères.La contribution scientifique suit quatre directions: (i) un modèle hiérarchique et quantitative est développé pour caractériser la susceptibilité des systèmes critiques pour la sécurité à plusieurs types de danger, en ayant la vue de `tous risques' sur le problème actuellement émergeant dans le domaine de l'analyse des risques; (ii) l'évaluation quantitative de la vulnérabilité est abordé par un cadre de classification empirique: à cette fin, un modèle, en se fondant sur la Majority Rule Sorting (MR-Sort) Méthode, généralement utilisés dans le domaine de la prise de décision, est construit sur la base d'un ensemble de données (en taille limitée) représentant (a priori connu) des exemples de classification de vulnérabilité; (iii) trois approches différentes (à savoir, une model-retrieval-based méthode, la méthode Bootstrap et la technique de validation croisée leave-one-out) sont élaborées et appliquées pour fournir une évaluation quantitative de la performance du modèle de classification (en termes de précision et de confiance dans les classifications), ce qui représente l'incertitude introduite dans l'analyse par la construction empirique du modèle de la vulnérabilité; (iv) basé sur des modèles développés, un problème de classification inverse est résolu à identifier un ensemble de mesures de protection qui réduisent efficacement le niveau de vulnérabilité du système critique à l’étude. Deux approches sont développées dans cet objectif: le premier est basé sur un nouvel indicateur de sensibilité, ce dernier sur l'optimisation.Les applications sur des études de cas fictifs et réels dans le domaine des risques de centrales nucléaires démontrent l'efficacité de la méthode proposée.

This Ph. D. work addresses the vulnerability analysis of safety-critical systems (e.g., nuclear power plants) within a framework that combines the disciplines of risk analysis and multi-criteria decision-making. The scientific contribution follows four directions: (i) a quantitative hierarchical model is developed to characterize the susceptibility of safety-critical systems to multiple types of hazard, within the needed `all-hazard' view of the problem currently emerging in the risk analysis field; (ii) the quantitative assessment of vulnerability is tackled by an empirical classification framework: to this aim, a model, relying on the Majority Rule Sorting (MR-Sort) Method, typically used in the decision analysis field, is built on the basis of a (limited-size) set of data representing (a priori-known) vulnerability classification examples; (iii) three different approaches (namely, a model-retrieval-based method, the Bootstrap method and the leave-one-out cross-validation technique) are developed and applied to provide a quantitative assessment of the performance of the…

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The hydrologic response of urban catchments is sensitive to small scale space-time rainfall variations. A stochastic space-time rainfall model used for design purposes must reproduce important statistics at these small scales. However, current rainfall models make simplifying assumptions about the temporal characteristics of rainfields and thus cannot be expected to reproduce important statistics over various space and time scales. In this study, an extensive investigation of radar rainfall data for the Sydney region motivated the development of a new phenomenological hierarchical stochastic model to robustly simulate rainfall fields consistent with 10-minute 1-km2 pixel radar images. The hierarchical framework consists of three levels. The development of the first two levels which simulate the evolution of rainfall fields for a single storm is the focus of this thesis. The third level, which is designed for simulation of storm sequences, is left for future research. The first level simulates a latent Gaussian random field conditioned on the previous time step, , which is transformed to a rain field using a power transformation. A Toeplitz block circulant technique is used to achieve fast and accurate simulations of large Gaussian random fields (with lattice of 256 by 256), and is shown to be hugely more efficient than the traditional Cholesky decomposition method. In the second level, first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) models are used to describe the within-storm variations of the level-one parameters that control the evolution of the rain fields. Calibration is performed using a generalized method-of-moments approach. The parametric bootstrap validation technique was used to evaluate the performance of the first two levels of the model by comparing the characteristics of interest for four observed storm events (typical of frontal and convective storms experienced in Sydney, Australia) and synthetic storms. It is found that this two-level rainfall model produces realistic sequences of rain images which capture the physical hierarchical structure of clusters, patchiness of rain fields and the persistence exhibited during storm development. A variety of important statistics were adequately reproduced at both 10-min and 1-hr time scales over space scales ranging from 1 km up to 32 km. Finally, application of this model to short-term rainfall forecasting is presented.

▼ We study the application of saddlepoint approximations to statistical inference when the moment generating function (MGF) of the distribution of interest is an explicit or an implicit function of the MGF of another random variable which is assumed to be observed. In other words, let W (s) be the MGF of the random variable W of interest. We study the case when W (s) = h{G (s) ; λ}, where G (s) is an MGF of G for which a random sample can be obtained, and h is a smooth function. If Ĝ (s) estimates G (s), then Ŵ (s) = h{Ĝ (s) ; λ̂} estimates W (s). Generally, it can be shown that Ŵ (s) converges to W (s) by the strong law of large numbers, which implies that F̂ (t), the cumulative distribution function (CDF) corresponding to Ŵ (s), converges to F (t), the CDF of W, almost surely. If we set Ŵ* (s) = h{Ĝ* (s) ; λ̂}, where Ĝ* (s) and λ̂* are the empirical MGF and the estimator of λ from bootstrapping, the corresponding CDF F̂* (t) can be used to construct the confidence band of F(t). In this dissertation, we show that the saddlepoint inversion of Ŵ (s) is not only fast, reliable, stable, and accurate enough for a general statistical inference, but also easy to use without deep knowledge of the probability theory regarding the stochastic process of interest. For the first part, we consider nonparametric estimation of the density and the CDF of the stationary waiting times W and Wq of an M/G/1 queue. These estimates are computed using saddlepoint inversion of Ŵ (s) determined from the Pollaczek-Khinchin formula. Our saddlepoint estimation is compared with estimators based on other approximations, including the Cramér-Lundberg approximation. For the second part, we consider the saddlepoint approximation for the busy period distribution FB (t) in a M/G/1 queue. The busy period B is the first passage time for the queueing system to pass from an initial arrival (1 in the system) to 0 in the system. If B (s) is the MGF of B, then B (s) is an implicitly defined function of G (s) and λ, the inter-arrival rate, through the well-known Kendall-Takács functional equation. As in the first part, we show that the saddlepoint approximation can be used to obtain F̂B (t), the CDF corresponding to B̂(s) and simulation results show that confidence bands of FB (t) based on bootstrapping perform well.

▼ Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) provide strong internal validity compared with observational studies. However, selection bias threatens the external validity of randomized trials. Thus, naive RCT results may not apply to either broad general public or narrow populations, such as specific insurance pools. This dissertation concentrates on using propensity scores (PSs) to generalize results from an RCT to a target population. We are interested in two types of target populations: finite and infinite populations. We propose a simulation framework that imitates the environment composing a randomized trial and target population, i.e., the single-layer simulation construction for an infinite target population and the double-layer construction for a finite target population. We develop a model-free inverse probability weighted estimator (IPWE) to estimate the average treatment effect in a target population and propose several variance estimation methods, including parametric estimation methods and bootstrap-based methods for different types of target populations. In general, we show via simulation study that the variance methods perform equally well, but the bootstrap-based methods have more robust performance under extreme cases. Moreover, the variance estimation methods always perform better for their designated target population under extreme cases. In addition to IPWEs, we study model-based estimators including regression-based and survey regression-based estimators. With weights, the survey design-based estimators perform similarly to the regression-based estimators. However, the performance of the model-based average treatment effect estimators is vulnerable to the specification of outcome analysis models. Thus, IPWEs are more robust, especially under extreme cases. We also propose estimating PSs with separate models for the treatment and control arms of the trial, rather than estimating PSs together (treatment and control groups in trials combined). We find that for many common situations, IPWEs with weights estimated separately perform better than those with weights estimated together (with less bias and less variance) if the trial is randomized.
