Estimating parameters in autoregressive models in non-normal situations: Asymmetric innovations
Akkaya, Ayşen (2001-01-01)
The estimation of coefficients in a simple autoregressive model is considered in a supposedly difficult situation where the innovations have an asymmetric distribution. Two distributions, gamma and generalized logistic, are considered for illustration. Closed form estimators are obtained and shown to be efficient and robust. Efficiencies of least squares estimators are evaluated and shown to be very low. This work is an extension of that of Tiku, Wong and Bian [1] who give solutions for a simple AR(I) model
Estimating the form of a decision maker's preference function and converging towards preferred solutions
Karakaya, Gülşah (Informa UK Limited, 2019-10-31)
Preference functions have been widely used to scalarize multiple objectives. Various forms such as linear, quasiconcave, or general monotone have been assumed. In this article, we consider a general family of functions that can take a variety of forms and has properties that allow for estimating the form efficiently. We exploit these properties to estimate the form of the function and converge towards a preferred solution(s). We develop the theory and algorithms to efficiently estimate the parameters of the...
Estimating the form of a decision maker's preference function and converging to preferred solutions
Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; Karakaya, Gülşah (null; 2018-11-07)
We estimate the form of an underlying preference function that is assumed to represent the preferences of a decision maker in a multi-objective environment. After estimating the form, we use an algorithm that utilizes the properties of the estimated form in order to efficiently converge to a preferred solution of the decision maker. We develop the necessary theory to estimate the form of the preference function. We test our approach on several instances and show that it works well.
Estimating Density of Wireless Networks in Practice
Eroğlu, Alperen; Onur, Ertan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2015-09-02)
Density of a wireless network drastically impacts its performance. Adapting the networking protocols at run-time to density changes, which may not be predictable in advance, may improve the network performance. Estimating the density of a wireless network is the challenge we address in this paper. A wireless node may locally estimate the network density by measuring the received signal strength (RSS) of packets sent by its neighbours. However, RSS is prone to large- and small-scale fading, and this phenomen...
Estimating the number-weighted equivalents of the mass-weighted size distribution functions
Camalan, Mahmut (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-01)
The number-weighted particle size distributions are difficult to be estimated experimentally. This study offers a simple conversion method to convert mass-weighted distributions to their number-weighted equivalents. Besides, the number-weighted equivalents of the Gates-Gaudin-Schuhmann, Gaudin-Meloy, Pareto, and Rosin-Rammler distributions were determined by the conversion method. The accuracy of the method was successfully confirmed on the artificial populations generated from the Gates-Gaudin-Schuhmann, R...
