Colloquium Department of Statistics, University of Toronto Topic: Method of Pao-Zhuan Yin-Yu: Method of Stochastic Point Estimation Speaker: James C. Fu, University of Manitoba Date: Thursday, November 9, 4:00 - 5:00 Place: Room 1085, Sidney Smith Hall, 100 St. George Street, U of T Abstract: A computer intensive resampling technique called method of Pao-Zhuan Yin-Yu is systematically developed to improve the initial estimator and to estimate the variance of the improved estimator. It provides an alternative to the bootstrap and jackknife methods. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate our method. Our numerical results show that the method performs extremely well in many cases. ---------- Coffee and tea will be served in the De Lury Lounge (SS6006) at 3:30.
