variance estimation and cross-validation

2001-07-24 Thread Mark Everingham
Can anyone help with this please? --- I have a set of N images. I train a classifier to label pixels in an image as one of a set of classes. To estimate the accuracy of the classifier I use cross-validation with k folds, training on k-1 and testing on 1. Thus the estimated accuracy on an image

If your interest is reliability then you don't need to do any statistical comparisons. What you are describing is a case for generalizability theory in which you use the data to estimate the variance components and then estimate what the reliability would be if you vary the number of trials.

Recommend you decide first what is important for a specific product/process. Start with run charts - not to worry about full SPC. See what that tells you about product consistency - I bet you will learn a lot early on. Then work toward more calculation intense charts. Only a very few charts

most books talk about inferential statistics ... particularly those where you take a sample ... find some statistic ... estimate some error term ... then build a CI or test some null hypothesis ... error in these cases is always assumed to be based on taking AT LEAST a simple random sample

Hi, Dennis! Yes, as you point out, most elementary textbooks treat only SRS types of samples. But while (as you also point out) some more realistic sampling methods entail larger sampling variance than SRS, some of them have _smaller_ variance -- notably, stratified designs when the
