A Proposal of New Classification Algorithm
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2009)In the paper a new method of classifying points to a predetermined number of classes is presented. The method is based on the use of the sample/window mean shift technique to obtain a synthetic insight into the data set ... -
About Robust Estimators of Average Shape and Variance of Shape
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2009)In this paper we investigate whether in the statistical inference for shapes of economic systems it is useful to modify least squares methods (commonly used Procrustes approach) by applying data depth concept. In the paper ... -
An Influence of Distance Measure Among Sample Units on Efficiency of the Modified Synthetic Estimator : Monte Carlo Analysis
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2009)The problem of insufficient number of sample observations representing a given population domain of interest (small area) can be solved by applying estimators, which will be able to combine sample information from the given ... -
Application of Discriminant Analysis and Neural Networks to Forecasting the Financial Standing of Farms
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2009)The aim of the research was to determinate a linear discriminant function and neural network that could be applied for financial situation forecasting in polish farms sector. The construction of discriminant models was ... -
Attempt to Assess Multivariate Normality Tests
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2009)The assumption of multivariate normality is a basis of the classical multivariate statistical methodology. Consequences of departures from these assumptions have not been investigated well so far. There are many methods ... -
Clustering Methods Applied to Reduce the Training Sample Size in Support Vector Machines
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2009)Support vector machines belong to the group of methods of supervised learning. They generate non-linear models with good generalization abilities. The core of SVMs algorithm is the quadratic program which is solved for ... -
Comparing Income Distributions - Methods and their Application to Wage Distributions in Poland
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2009)Rankings of income distributions are usually based on comparisons of social welfare. Assuming more or less general form of a social welfare function we can compare income distributions in time and in space. Income inequality ... -

Forecasting Income Distributions of Households in Poland on the Basis of Markov Chains
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2009)In order to forecast income distributions of population, we can make use of, among others, stochastic processes. These processes can be used to determine probabilities of transition of households from one income class to ... -
