Estimation using a suboptimal method can lead to imprecise models, with cascading effects in complex models, such as climate change or pollution. The goal of this study is to compare the solutions supplied by different algorithms used to model ozone pollution. Using Box and Tiao (1975) study, we have predicted ozone concentration in Los Angeles with an ARIMA and an autoregressive process. We have solved the ARIMA process with three algorithms (i.e., maximum likelihood, like Box and Tiao, conditional least square and unconditional least square) and the autoregressive process with four algorithms (i.e., Yule–Walker, iterative Yule–Walker, maximum likelihood, and unconditional least square). Our study shows that Box and Tiao chose the appropriate algorithm according to the AIC but not according to the mean square error. Furthermore, Yule–Walker, which is the default algorithm in many software, has the least reliable results, suggesting that the method of solving complex models could alter the findings. Finally, the model selection depends on the technical details and on the applicability of the model, as the ARIMA model is suitable from the AIC perspective but an autoregressive model could be preferred from the mean square error viewpoint. Our study shows that time series analysis should consider not only the model shape but also the model estimation, to ensure valid results.

This Research Tries To Investigate The Problem Of Estimating The Reliability Of Two Parameter Weibull Distribution,By Using Maximum Likelihood Method, And White Method. The Comparison Is done Through Simulation Process Depending On Three Choices Of Models (?=0.8 , ß=0.9) , (?=1.2 , ß=1.5) and (?=2.5 , ß=2). And Sample Size n=10 , 70, 150 We Use the Statistical Criterion Based On the Mean Square Error (MSE) For Comparison Amongst The Methods.

In this paper the asymptotic equivalence of the estimated predictor and the optimal predictor of k-dimensional pth order autoregressive process in the stable case with dependent error variables bas been shown. An expression for the mean square error of the estimated predictor has also been derived.

This study focuses on Monte Carlo Methods in parameter estimation of production function. The ordinary least square (OLS) method is used to estimate the unknown parameters. The Monte Carlo simulation methods are used for the data generating process. The Cobb-Douglas production model with multiplicative error term is fitted to the data generated. From tables 1.1 to 1.3, the mean square error (MSE) of 1 are 0.007678, 0.001972 and 0.001253 respectively for sample sizes 20, 40 and 80. Our finding showed that the mean square error (MSE) value varies with the sum of the powers of the input variables.

In a classical multiple linear regression analysis, multicollinearity and autocorrelation are two main basic assumption violation problems. When multicollinearity exists, biased estimation techniques such as Maximum Likelihood, Restricted Maximum Likelihood and most recent the K-L estimator by Kibria and Lukman [1] are preferable to Ordinary Least Square. On the other hand, when autocorrelation exist in the data, robust estimators like Cochran Orcutt and Prais-Winsten [2] estimators are preferred. To handle these two problems jointly, the study combines the K-L with the Prais-Winsten’s two-stage estimator producing the Two-Stage K-L estimator proposed by Zubair & Adenomon [3]. The Mean Square Error (MSE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) criterion was used to compare the performance of the estimators. Application of the estimators to two (2) real life data set with multicollinearity and autocorrelation problems reveals that the Two Stage K-L estimator is generally the most efficient.

In this paper the asymptotic properties of the estimated predictor of a k-dimensional, pth order autoregressive process with dependent error variables and a general set-up of the roots have been considered. An expression for the mean-square-error of the estimated predictor has also been obtained.

The random variable Zn,α=Y1+2αY2+⋯+nαYn, with α∈ℝ and Y1,Y2,…  being independent exponentially distributed random variables with mean one, is considered. Van Leeuwaarden and Temme (2011) attempted to determine good approximation of the distribution of Zn,α. The main problem is estimating the parameter α that has the main state in applicable research. In this paper we show that estimating the parameter α by using the relation between α and mode is available. The mean square error values are obtained for estimating α by mode, moment method, and maximum likelihood method.

The common method in Estimating Parameter Distribution Exponential at Finite Location is Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE).The best estimator is consistent estimator. Because of The Mean Square Error (MSE) can be used in comparing some detectable estimators that it had looking for with Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) so can find the consistent estimator in Estimating Parameter Distribution Exponential At Finite Location

In spite of important delays in the initial planning, the full automation of the Bordeaux meridian circle is progressing well and will be ready for regular observations by the middle of the next year. It is expected that the mean square error for one observation will be about ±0.”10 in the two coordinates for declinations up to 87°.

The question of calculating the limiting values of residuals in geodesic constructions is considered in the case when the limiting value for measurement errors is assumed equal to 3m, ie ∆рred = 3m, where m is the mean square error of the measurement. Larger errors are rejected. At present, the limiting value for the residual is calculated by the formula 3m√n, where n is the number of measurements. The article draws attention to two contradictions between theory and practice arising from the use of this formula. First, the formula is derived from the classical law of the normal Gaussian distribution, and it is applied to the truncated law of the normal distribution. And, secondly, as shown in [1], when ∆рred = 2m, the sums of errors naturally take the value equal to ?pred, after which the number of errors in the sum starts anew. This article establishes its validity for ∆рred = 3m. A table of comparative values of the tolerances valid and recommended for more stringent ones is given. The article gives a graph of applied and recommended tolerances for ∆рred = 3m.
