18 Normal Model Model Assumptons (Normal Model) N1 The X,j are ndependent and normally dstrbuted and there exst parameters µ 0, µ 1,..., µ I and γ 0, γ 1,..., γ J wth J j=0 γ j = 1 and σ0, 2..., σj 2 such that E[X,j ] = µ γ j, Var(X,j ) = µ σ 2 j, where σj 2 > 0, 0 j J.

19 Maxmum Lkelhood Estmaton (MLE) of the γ j s We calculate the MLE s assumng that the true µ s and σj 2 s are known and then replace the µ s by the a pror estmates ˆµ and the σj 2 s by estmates ˆσ j 2. A. Saluz, A. Gsler, M. V. Wüthrch (ETH Zurch) Pattern and MSEP for BF June, / 12

20 Maxmum Lkelhood Estmaton (MLE) of the γ j s We calculate the MLE s assumng that the true µ s and σj 2 s are known and then replace the µ s by the a pror estmates ˆµ and the σj 2 s by estmates ˆσ j 2.

21 Covarance matrx of the ˆγ j s We use the asymptotc propertes of MLE s (Fsher Informaton matrx) to estmate the covarance matrx of the ˆγ j s.: Remarks: Ĉov(ˆγ j, ˆγ k ) = ˆσ 2 j I j =0 ˆµ For the best lnear unbased estmate γ (0) j (compare wth frst summand). ( ˆσ k 2 1 / ) I k =0 ˆµ {j=k} J l=0 (ˆσ l 2/ ). I l =0 ˆµ (n the case of known µ ) we have σ 2 j Cov(γ (0) j, γ (0) k ) = 1 {j=k} I j =0 µ, Because of the sde constrant J j=0 γ j = 1 the off-dagonal correlatons must be negatve (compare wth second summand).

24 Conclusons and Remarks Under dstrbutonal assumptons we have derved estmates for the development pattern takng all relevant nformaton nto account formulas for the smoothng from the raw estmates ˆγ (0) j to the fnal estmates ˆγ j estmates for the correlatons of these estmates. We recommend to use these formulas also n the dstrbuton-free case (currently there are no estmators avalable from whch we know that they perform better). A. Saluz, A. Gsler, M. V.
