Two new classes of estimators obtained by shrinking the eigenvalues towards the origin and the arithmetic mean, respectively, are proposed. It is shown that these new estimators dominate the unbiased estimator under the squared error loss function. Finally, some simulation results to compare the performance of the proposed estimators with that of the unbiased estimator are reported. The simulation results indicate that these new shrinkage estimators provide a substantial improvement in risk under most situations.展开更多

To evaluate the effects of covariates on the marginal recurrent event hazards functions, there exist two types of hazards models: the multiplicative hazards model and the additive hazards model. In the paper, we propose a more flexible additive-multiplicative hazards model for multiple type of recurrent gap times data, wherein some covariates are assumed to be additive while others are multiplicative. An estimating equation approach is presented to estimate the regression parameters. We establish asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators.展开更多

If X satisfies the HSrmander's condition, then the vectorfield is finitely degenerate and the sum of square operator △X =m∑j=1 X2 j is a finitely de-generate elliptic operator. In this paper, we shall study the sharp estimate of the Dirichlet eigenvalue for a class of general Grushin type degenerate elliptic operators △x on Ω.展开更多

A method is presented to identify parameters of dynamic models with the Bayes estimators of measurement frequencies. This is based on the solution of an inverse generalized evaluate problem. The stochastic nature of test data is considered and a normal distribution is used for the measurement frequencies. An additional feature is that the engineer's confidence in the measurement frequencies is quantified and incorporated into the identification procedure. A numerical example demonstrates the efficiency of the method.展开更多

Assume that $$0 < \lambda _1 \leqslant \lambda _2 \leqslant \cdots \leqslant \lambda _k \leqslant \cdots $$ are the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian operator with any order l: $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} ( - \vartriangle )^l u = \lambda u, in D \hfill \\ u = \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial \vec n}} = \cdots = \frac{{\partial ^{l - 1} u}}{{\partial \vec n^{l - 1} }} = 0, on \partial D \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ . Then we obtain an upper bound of the (k+1)-th eigenvalue λ k+1 in terms of the first k eigenvalues. $$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^k {(\lambda _{(k + 1)} - \lambda _i )} \leqslant \frac{1}{n}[4l(n + 2l - 2)]^{\tfrac{1}{2}} \left\{ {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^k {(\lambda _{(k + 1)} - \lambda _i )^{\tfrac{1}{2}} \lambda _i^{\tfrac{{l - 1}}{l}} \sum\limits_{i = 1}^k {(\lambda _{(k + 1)} - \lambda _i )^{\tfrac{1}{2}} \lambda _i^{\tfrac{1}{l}} } } } \right\}^{\tfrac{1}{2}} $$ . This ineguality is independent of the domain D. Furthermore, for any l ? 3 the above inequality is better than all the known results. Our rusults are the natural generalization of inequalities corresponding to the case l = 2 considered by Qing-Ming Cheng and Hong-Cang Yang. When l = 1, our inequalities imply a weaker form of Yang inequalities. We aslo reprove an implication claimed by Cheng and Yang.展开更多

To develop the source number estimation method which has lower signal to noise ratio and is suitable to both correlated and uncorrelated impinging signals, a new source number estimation method called beam eigenvalue method (BEM) is proposed in this paper. Through analyzing the space power spectrum and the correlation of the line array, the covariance matrix is constructed in a new way, which is decided by the line array shape when the signal frequency is given. Both of the theory analysis and the simulation results show that the BEM method can estimate the source number for correlated signals and can be more effective at lower signal to noise ratios than the normal source number estimation methods.展开更多
