Statistical Analysis of Sample with Small Size
Holčák, Lukáš ; Hübnerová, Zuzana (referee) ; Karpíšek, Zdeněk (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on the analysis of small samples where it is not possible to obtain more data. It can be especially due to the capital intensity or time demandingness. Where the production have not a wherewithall for the realization more data or absence of the financial resources. Of course, analysis of small samples is very uncertain, because inferences are always encumbered with the level of uncertainty.

Statistical models for prediction of project duration
Oberta, Dušan ; Žák, Libor (referee) ; Hübnerová, Zuzana (advisor)
Cieľom tejto bakalárskej práce je odvodiť štatistické modely vhodné pre analýzu dát a aplikovať ich na analýzu reálnych dát týkajúcich sa časovej náročnosti projektov v závislosti na charakteristikách projektov. V úvodnej kapitole sú študované lineárne regresné modely založené na metóde najmenších štvorcov, vrátane ich vlastností a predikčných intervalov. Nasleduje kapitola zaoberajúca sa problematikou zobecnených lineárnych modelov založených na metóde maximálnej vierohodnosti, ich vlastností a zostavením asymptotických konfidenčných intervalov pre stredné hodnoty. Ďalšia kapitola sa zaoberá problematikou regresných stromov, kde sú znova ukázané metóda najmenších štvrocov a metóda maximálnej vierohodnosti. Boli ukázané základné princípy orezávania regresných stromov a odvodenie konfidenčných intervalov pre stredné hodnoty. Metóda maximálnej vierohodnosti pre regresné stromy a odvodenie konfidenčných intervalov boli z podstatnej časti vlastným odvodením autora. Posledným študovaným modelom sú náhodné lesy, vrátane ich základných vlastností a konfidenčných intervalov pre stredné hodnoty. V týchto kapitolách boli taktiež ukázané metódy posúdenia kvality modelu, výberu optimálneho podmodelu, poprípade určenia optimálnych hodnôt rôznych parametrov. Na záver sú dané modely a algoritmy implementované v jazyku Python a aplikované na reálne dáta.

Confidence Intervals for Quantiles
Horejšová, Markéta ; Kulich, Michal (advisor) ; Hlávka, Zdeněk (referee)
In this thesis, various construction methods for simultaneous confidence intervals for quantiles are explained. Among nonparametric approaches, a special emphasis is dedicated to a recent method based on a multinomial distribution for calculating the overall confidence level of confidence intervals for all quantiles of interest using an efficient recursive algorithm, which is also described. Furthermore, a method based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic or an asymptotic method using empirical distribution function and order statistics for quantile estimate are presented. A special parametric method for several quantiles of a normally distributed population is introduced along with a few of its modifications. Subsequently, a simulation is run to test the real coverage of the described theoretical methods. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Confidence intervals for parameters of multinomial distribution
Bárnetová, Kamila ; Anděl, Jiří (advisor) ; Omelka, Marek (referee)
Title: Confidence intervals for parameters of multinomial distribution Author: Kamila Bárnetová Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Jiří Anděl, DrSc., Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Abstract: Confidence intervals for parameters for binomial and multinomial distribution are described in this thesis. These intervals can be used in practice, for exemple- pre-election estimates. The first two chapter are devoted to derivation of these intervals. Simulations and comparison of several selected methods can be found in the last chapter. Based on the simulations, we consider it appropriate, to choose to calculate confidence intervals for parameters of multinomial distribution intervals based on Bonferroniho inequality, or their modifications. These intervals are easy to calculate, while their coverage probability is at least 0.89. Keywords: confidence interval, multinomial distribution, binomial distribution, Bonferroni inequality

Testing equality of means by confidence intervals
Jandl, Vojtěch ; Kulich, Michal (advisor) ; Pešta, Michal (referee)
We deal with testing the equality of means using confidence intervals. Firstly, we introduce the methods of testing that have already been published. The advantage of these methods is that one can present the underlying confidence intervals alongside the result of the test without doing further calculations. In the second part we discuss the necessary assumptions and by that we extend the Noguchi's method to discrete distribu- tions. Also, we derive a generalization of the Noguchi's method for testing the equality of other parameters than means, based on the assumption of asymptotic normality of their consistent estimates. Lastly, we conduct a simulation study in order to compare the methods we discussed. We found out that the Noguchi's method is a worthy alternative to the often-used Welch test bearing the advantage of being able to present extra visual output in the form of the underlying confidence intervals. In comparison to other methods the Noguchi's method yields better results in the case of unequal or small sample sizes. Unlike other methods it can also be used for testing in the paired sample case. 1

Interval estimates for binomial proportion
Borovský, Marko ; Zvára, Karel (advisor) ; Sečkárová, Vladimíra (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the point estimate and interval estimates of the binomial proportion. Interval estimation of the probability of success in a binomial distribution is one of the most basic and crucial problems in statistical practice. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter is about maximum- likelihood estimation for a binomial proportion. Futhermore, we will describe several methods of the construction of confidence intervals. In the end, we will compare all intervals in term of the actual coverage probability and expected length. 1

On Two Methods for the Parameter Estimation Problem with Spatio-Temporal FRAP Data
Papáček, Š. ; Jablonský, J. ; Matonoha, Ctirad
FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching) is a measurement technique for determination of the mobility of fluorescent molecules (presumably due to the diffusion process) within the living cells. While the experimental setup and protocol are usually fixed, the method used for the model parameter estimation, i.e. the data processing step, is not well established. In order to enhance the quantitative analysis of experimental (noisy) FRAP data, we firstly formulate the inverse problem of model parameter estimation and then we focus on how the different methods of data pre- processing influence the confidence interval of the estimated parameters, namely the diffusion constant $p$. Finally, we present a preliminary study of two methods for the computation of a least-squares estimate $\hat{p}$ and its confidence interval.
