We solve the comparison problem for generalized $\psi$-estimators introduced in Barczy and P\'ales (2022). Namely, we derive several necessary and sufficient conditions under which a generalized $\psi$-estimator less than or equal to…

We establish several properties of (weighted) generalized $\psi$-estimators introduced by Barczy and P\'ales in 2022: mean-type, monotonicity and sensitivity properties, bisymmetry-type inequality and some asymptotic and continuity…

We introduce the notions of generalized and weighted generalized $\psi$-estimators as unique points of sign change of some appropriate functions, and we give necessary as well as sufficient conditions for their existence. We also derive a…

We investigate the monotone representation and measurability of generalized $\psi$-estimators introduced by the authors in 2022. Our first main result, applying the unique existence of a generalized $\psi$-estimator, allows us to construct…

We give axiomatic characterisations of generalized $\psi$-estimators and (usual) $\psi$-estimators (also called $Z$-estimators), respectively. The key properties of estimators that come into play in the characterisation theorems are the…

In this article, we have proposed a generalized class of estimators, exponential class of estimators based on adaption of Sharma and Singh (2015) and Solanki and Singh (2013) and simple difference estimator for estimating unknown population…

This paper extends the idea of a generalized estimator for a scalar parameter (Vos, 2022) to multi-dimensional parameters both with and without nuisance parameters. The title reflects the fact that generalized estimators provide more than…

We present a new class of estimators of Shannon entropy for severely undersampled discrete distributions. It is based on a generalization of an estimator proposed by T. Schuermann, which itself is a generalization of an estimator proposed…

This paper suggests a generalized class of estimators for population mean of the qualitative study variable in simple random sampling using information on an auxiliary variable. Asymptotic expressions of bias and mean square error of the…

Point estimators may not exist, need not be unique, and their distributions are not parameter invariant. Generalized estimators provide distributions that are parameter invariant, unique, and exist when point estimates do not. Comparing…

Different statistical samples (e.g., from different locations) offer populations and learning systems observations with distinct statistical properties. Samples under (1) 'Unconfounded' growth preserve systems' ability to determine the…

Scientists frequently generalize population level causal quantities such as average treatment effect from a source population to a target population. When the causal effects are heterogeneous, differences in subject characteristics between…

We present \textit{universal} estimators for the statistical mean, variance, and scale (in particular, the interquartile range) under pure differential privacy. These estimators are universal in the sense that they work on an arbitrary,…

In the partially-observed outcome setting, a recent set of proposals known as "prediction-powered inference" (PPI) involve (i) applying a pre-trained machine learning model to predict the response, and then (ii) using these predictions to…

We generalize the { ${\rm M}$-estimator} put forward by Catoni in his seminal paper [C12] to the case in which samples can have finite $\alpha$-th moment with $\alpha \in (1,2)$ rather than finite variance, our approach is by slightly…

Under the Neyman causal model, it is well-known that OLS with treatment-by-covariate interactions cannot harm asymptotic precision of estimated treatment effects in completely randomized experiments. But do such guarantees extend to…
