We have considered before the problem of estimating the parameters giving the mean time in each stage, for a two-stage Poisson process, when sampling was permitted only at equal intervals. It was ...

Pollinator importance, the product of visitation rate and pollinator effectiveness, is a descriptive parameter of the ecology and evolution of plant-pollinator interactions. Naturally, sources of its ...

Geoff Cumming receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Such research findings sound exciting because the word significant suggests important and large. But researchers often use the word ...

Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.

Process capability indices (PCIs) have long served as crucial metrics in assessing the performance and quality of manufacturing processes. Recent advances in statistical estimation techniques have not ...
