Confidence intervals for variance componentsPurdy, Kathleen G. 08 May 1998 (has links)
Measuring the source and magnitude of components of variation has important
applications in industrial, environmental and biological studies. This thesis considers
the problem of constructing confidence intervals for variance components in Gaussian
mixed linear models. A number of methods based on the usual ANOVA mean squares
have been proposed for constructing confidence intervals for variance components in
balanced mixed models. Some authors have suggested extending balanced model
procedures to unbalanced models by replacing the ANOVA mean squares with mean
squares from an unweighted means ANOVA. However, the unweighted means
ANOVA is only defined for a few specific mixed models. In Chapter 2 we define a
generalization of the unweighted means ANOVA for the three variance component
mixed linear model and illustrate how the mean squares from this ANOVA may be used
to construct confidence intervals for variance components. Computer simulations
indicate that the proposed procedure gives intervals that are generally consistent with the
stated confidence level, except in the case of extremely unbalanced designs. A set of
statistics that can be used as an alternative to the generalized unweighted mean squares
is developed in Chapter 3. The intervals constructed with these statistics have better
coverage probability and are often narrower than the intervals constructed with the
generalized unweighted mean squares. / Graduation date: 1998

Uniformly consistent bootstrap confidence intervalsYu, Zhuqing., 俞翥清. January 2012 (has links)
The bootstrap methods are widely used for constructing confidence intervals.
However, the conventional bootstrap fails to be consistent under some nonstandard
circumstances. The m out of n bootstrap is usually adopted to restore
consistency, provided that a correct convergence rate can be specified for the
plug-in estimators. In this thesis, we re-investigate the asymptotic properties of
the bootstrap in a moving-parameter framework in which the underlying distribution
is allowed to depend on n. We consider the problem of setting uniformly
consistent confidence intervals for two non-regular cases: (1) the smooth function
models with vanishing derivatives; and (2) the M-estimation with non-regular
conditions.
Under the moving-parameter setup, neither the conventional bootstrap nor
the m out of n bootstrap is shown uniformly consistent over the whole parameter space. The results reflect to some extent finite-sample anomalies that cannot be
explained by conventional, fixed-parameter, asymptotics. We propose a weighted
bootstrap procedure for constructing uniformly consistent bootstrap confidence
intervals, which does not require explicit specification of the convergence rate
of the plug-in estimator. Under the smooth function models, we also propose
a modified n out of n bootstrap procedure in special cases where the smooth
function is applied to estimators that are uniformly bootstrappable. The estimating
function bootstrap is also successfully employed for the latter model
and enjoys computational advantages over the weighted bootstrap. We illustrate
our findings by comparing the finite-sample coverage performances of the different
bootstrap procedures. The stable performance of the proposed methods,
contrasts sharply with the erratic coverages of the n out of n and m out of n
bootstrap intervals, a result in agreement with our theoretical findings. / published_or_final_version / Statistics and Actuarial Science / Master / Master of Philosophy
