Given a d-dimensional random field and a Poisson process independent of it, suppose that it is possible to observe only the location of each point of the Poisson process and the value of the random field at that (randomly located) point. Non-parametric estimators of the mean and covariance function of the random field—based on observation over compact sets of single realizations of the Poisson samples—are constructed. Under fairly mild conditions these estimators are consistent (in various senses) as the set of observation becomes unbounded in a suitable manner. The state estimation problem of minimum mean-squared error reconstruction of unobserved values of the random field is also examined.

This chapter introduced basic elements on stratified simple random sampling (SSRS) on ranked set sampling (RSS). The chapter extends Singh et al. results to sampling a stratified population. The mean squared error (MSE) is derived. SRS is used independently for selecting the samples from the strata. The chapter extends Singh et al. results under the RSS design. They are used for developing the estimation in a stratified population. RSS is used for drawing the samples independently from the strata. The bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the developed estimators are derived. A comparison between the biases and MSEs obtained for the sampling designs SRS and RSS is made. Under mild conditions the comparisons sustained that each RSS model is better than its SRS alternative.

The present paper provides alternative improved Factor-Type (F-T) estimators of population mean in presence of item non-response for the practitioners. The proposed estimators have been shown to be more efficient than the four existing estimators which are more efficient than the usual ratio and the mean estimators. Optimum conditions for minimum mean squared error are obtained for the new estimators. Empirical comparisons based on three different data sets establish that the proposed estimators record least mean squared error and hence a substantial gain in Percentage Relative Efficiency (P.R.E.), over these five contemporary estimators.

<p>An estimator of the intensity in the form of a power function of an inhomogeneous Poisson process is constructed and investigated. It is assumed that only a single realization of the Poisson process is observed in a bounded window. We prove that the proposed estimator is consistent when the size of the window indefinitely expands. The asymptotic bias, variance and the mean- squared error of the proposed estimator are computed. Asymptotic normality of the estimator is also established.</p>

Photovoltaic (PV) modules convert renewable and sustainable solar energy into electricity. However, the uncertainty of PV power production brings challenges for the grid operation. To facilitate the management and scheduling of PV power plants, forecasting is an essential technique. In this paper, a robust multilayer perception (MLP) neural network was developed for day-ahead forecasting of hourly PV power. A generic MLP is usually trained by minimizing the mean squared loss. The mean squared error is sensitive to a few particularly large errors that can lead to a poor estimator. To tackle the problem, the pseudo-Huber loss function, which combines the best properties of squared loss and absolute loss, was adopted in this paper. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method was verified by benchmarking against a generic MLP network with real PV data. Numerical experiments illustrated that the proposed method performed better than the generic MLP network in terms of root mean squared error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE).
