The purpose of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) is to foster the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability. The Institute was formed at a ...

Precise criteria have been published recently for obtaining unbiased ratio estimators of structural parameters, defined in an n-dimensional opaque specimen, from observations in lower-dimensional ...

Linear mixed models (LMMs) serve as a versatile statistical framework, combining fixed effects that capture the overall trends with random effects that account for variability across subjects, ...

The MAP estimator form is used for the estimation of random parameters whereas the maximum-likelihood (ML) form is generally associated with the estimation of deterministic parameters. From Bayes Rule ...
