Artificial Neural Network Model Based Estimation of Finite Population Total
Journal Title: International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
In a finite population denoted U=1,2,3,.....,N of N identifiable units, let X be the survey variable. The survey variables are observations from a super population. It is possible to get total information about these survey variables such as their total population, mean or their variance. In most cases auxiliary information about X is provided. A simple approach to using this auxiliary information is to assume a working model that describes the connection between the study variable of interest and the auxiliary variables. Estimators are then derived on the basis of this model. The best estimators are the ones that have good efficiency if the model is true, and are consistent if the model is inappropriate. In this study, we derive a nonparametric artificial neural network estimator of finite population total. The estimator is design unbiased, design consistent and asymptotic normal.
Performance Evaluation of Some Selected Feature Extraction Algorithms in Ear Biometrics
" It has been suggested by the researchers that the structural shape, size and features of the ear are unique for each person and invariant with age, which makes ear a better biometric trait; however, a major problem in...
