Shrinkage estimation of rate statistics
Holsbø, Einar Jakobsen; Perduca, Vittorio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-08)This paper presents a simple shrinkage estimator of rates based on Bayesian methods. Our focus is on crime rates as a motivating example. The estimator shrinks each town’s observed crime rate toward the country-wide average crime rate according to town size. By realistic simulations we confirm that the proposed estimator outperforms the maximum likelihood estimator in terms of global risk. We also ... -
Small data: practical modeling issues in human-model -omic data
Holsbø, Einar Jakobsen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-02-08)Human-model data are very valuable and important in biomedical research. Ethical and economical constraints limit the access to such data, and consequently these datasets rarely comprise more than a few hundred observations. As measurements are comparatively cheap, the tendency is to measure as many things as possible for the few, valuable participants in a study. With -omics technologies it is cheap ...
