Unbiased variance reduction in randomized experiments
Reza Hosseini, Amir Najmi
This paper develops a flexible method for decreasing the variance of estimators for complex experiment effect metrics (e.g. ratio metrics) while retaining asymptotic unbiasedness.…
An objective look at obtaining the plotting positions for QQ-plots
Reza Hosseini, Akimichi Takemura
Choosing the plotting positions for the QQ-plot has been a subject of much debate in the statistical and engineering literature. This paper looks at this problem objectively by con…
Conditional information and definition of neighbor in categorical random fields
Reza Hosseini
We show that the definition of neighbor in Markov random fields as defined by Besag (1974) when the joint distribution of the sites is not positive is not well-defined. In a random…
Divergence of sample quantiles
Reza Hosseini
We show that the left (right) sample quantile tends to the left (right) distribution quantile at p in [0,1], if the left and right quantiles are identical at p. We show that the sa…
Quantiles symmetry
Reza Hosseini
This paper finds a symmetry relation (between quantiles of a random variable and its negative) that is intuitively appealing. We show this symmetry is quite useful in finding new r…
Quantiles Equivariance
Reza Hosseini
It is widely claimed that the quantile function is equivariant under increasing transformations. We show by a counterexample that this is not true (even for strictly increasing tra…
