National Academy Of Engineering
The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is an American Nonprofit organization, nonprofit, NGO, non-governmental organization. It is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), along with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the National Academy of Medicine (NAM). The NAE operates engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. New members are annually elected by current members, based on their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. The NAE is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the rest of the National Academies the role of advising the federal government. History The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine#History, National Academy of Sciences was created by an Act of Incorporation dated March 3, 1863, which was signed by then president of the United ...

Minimax Estimator
In statistical decision theory, a minimax estimator \delta^M \,\! is an estimator which performs best in the worst possible case allowed in a problem. With problems of estimating a deterministic parameter (vector) \theta \in \Theta from observations x \in \mathcal, an estimator (estimation rule) \delta^M \,\! is called minimax if its maximal Risk function, risk is minimal among all estimators of \theta \,\!. Definition Definition : An estimator \delta^M:\mathcal \rightarrow \Theta \,\! is called minimax with respect to a risk function R(\theta,\delta) \,\! if it achieves the smallest maximum risk among all estimators, satisfying : \sup_ R(\theta,\delta^M) = \inf_\delta \sup_ R(\theta,\delta). \, Problem setup An example is the problem of estimating a deterministic (not Bayes estimator, Bayesian) parameter \theta \in \Theta from noisy or corrupt data x \in \mathcal related through the conditional probability distribution P(x\mid\theta)\,\!. The goal is to find a "good" estimato ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
