29 yr old Orthopaedic Surgeon Grippo from Saint-Paul, spends time with interests including model railways, top property developers in singapore developers in singapore and dolls. Finished a cruise ship experience that included passing by Runic Stones and Church.

In statistics, a parametric model or parametric family or finite-dimensional model is a family of distributions that can be described using a finite number of parameters. These parameters are usually collected together to form a single k-dimensional parameter vector θ = (θ1, θ2, …, θk).

Parametric models are contrasted with the semi-parametric, semi-nonparametric, and non-parametric models, all of which consist of an infinite set of “parameters” for description. The distinction between these four classes is as follows:Potter or Ceramic Artist Truman Bedell from Rexton, has interests which include ceramics, best property developers in singapore developers in singapore and scrabble. Was especially enthused after visiting Alejandro de Humboldt National Park.

  • in a “parametric” model all the parameters are in finite-dimensional parameter spaces;
  • a model is “non-parametric” if all the parameters are in infinite-dimensional parameter spaces;
  • a “semi-parametric” model contains finite-dimensional parameters of interest and infinite-dimensional nuisance parameters;
  • a “semi-nonparametric” model has both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional unknown parameters of interest.

Some statisticians believe that the concepts “parametric”, “non-parametric”, and “semi-parametric” are ambiguous.[1] It can also be noted that the set of all probability measures has cardinality of continuum, and therefore it is possible to parametrize any model at all by a single number in (0,1) interval.[2] This difficulty can be avoided by considering only “smooth” parametric models.

Definition

Template:Inline A parametric model is a collection of probability distributions such that each member of this collection, Pθ, is described by a finite-dimensional parameter θ. The set of all allowable values for the parameter is denoted Θ ⊆ Rk, and the model itself is written as

When the model consists of absolutely continuous distributions, it is often specified in terms of corresponding probability density functions:

The parametric model is called identifiable if the mapping θ ↦ Pθ is invertible, that is there are no two different parameter values θ1 and θ2 such that Pθ1 = Pθ2.

Examples

Regular parametric model

Let μ be a fixed σ-finite measure on a probability space (Ω, ℱ), and the collection of all probability measures dominated by μ. Then we will call    a regular parametric model if the following requirements are met:[3]

  1. Θ is an open subset of Rk.
  2. The map
    from Θ to L2(μ) is Fréchet differentiable: there exists a vector such that
    where ′ denotes matrix transpose.
  3. The map (defined above) is continuous on Θ.
  4. The k×k Fisher information matrix
    is non-singular.
