Estimators of the extreme-value index are based on a set of upper order statistics. When the number of upper-order statistics used in the estimation of the extreme-value index is small, the variance of the estimator will be large. On the other hand, the use of a large number of upper statistics will
## Abstract This paper presents a comparison of willingness to pay (WTP) estimates generated from a dichotomous choice (DC) contingent valuation experiment and a choice experiment (CE). The study was conducted with subjects undergoing assisted reproductive techniques in the Grampian area of Scotlan
Several methods for estimating the size of apple bruises have been compared against the actual volume measured using a sectioning and image analysis technique. The estimation methods were not consistent, with large estimation errors at small bruise sizes. The estimation of bruise volume was shown to
