This column is the fourth in a series on parameter estimation, leading up to the justly famous Kalman filter. The discipline is based on the fact that our knowledge of the state of any real-world ...

The information contained in a discrete two-way contingency table can be decomposed into three independent components: row marginals, column marginals and cross-product ratios. The log-linear models ...

You can use the CDFPLOT statement to fit any of six theoretical distributions (beta, exponential, gamma, lognormal, normal, and Weibull) and superimpose them on the cdf plot. The following statements ...

Recent advances in estimation techniques have underscored the growing importance of shrinkage estimation and balanced loss functions in the analysis of multivariate normal distributions. These ...
