The Mean Relative Entropy: An Invariant Measure of Estimation Error

期刊： AMERICAN STATISTICIAN, 2021; 75 (2)

A fundamental issue in statistics is parameter estimation, where the first step is to select estimators under some measure of estimation error. The co......

The Impact of Application of the Jackknife to the Sample Median

期刊： AMERICAN STATISTICIAN, ; ()

The jackknife is a reliable tool for reducing the bias of a wide range of estimators. This note demonstrates that even such versatile tools have regul......

Disease Mapping With Generative Models

期刊： AMERICAN STATISTICIAN, 2019; 73 (3)

Disease mapping focuses on learning about areal units presenting high relative risk. Disease mapping models assume that the disease counts are distrib......

Objective Bayesian testing for the correlation coefficient under divergence-based priors

期刊： AMERICAN STATISTICIAN, 0; ()

The correlation coefficient is a commonly used criterion to measure the strength of a linear relationship between the two quantitative variables. For ......

A "Paradox" in Confidence Interval Construction Using Sufficient Statistics

期刊： AMERICAN STATISTICIAN, 2018; 72 (4)

Statistical inference about parameters should depend on raw data only through sufficient statistics-the well known sufficiency principle. In particula......

Bridging the Gap: A Generalized Stochastic Process for Count Data

期刊： AMERICAN STATISTICIAN, 2017; 71 (1)

The Bernoulli and Poisson processes are two popular discrete count processes; however, both rely on strict assumptions. We instead propose a generaliz......
