Statistical Calibration Theory, James John Mckeon
Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations
A calibration method substitutes for measurements, X(,i), that are accurate but impractical or costly, a set of measurements, Y(,i), that are less accurate but simpler or less costly. There are two general types of calibration methods. The classical approach in which once the calibration sample is drawn, the estimates of the X values for a given unit is found without any consideration of the distribution of X values for the other units to be measured. This corresponds best to the literal meaning of the word "calibration". Maximum likelihood estimation is the statistical formulation of the classical approach.
The second approach …

How should a decision maker proceed with uncertain knowledge of the decision outcome? We use the unknown coefficient control problem to shed light on the issue.
