Risking to underestimate the integrity risk

As parameter estimation and statistical testing are often intimately linked in the processing of observational data, the uncertainties involved in both estimation and testing need to be properly propagated into the final results produced. This necessitates the use of conditional distributions when evaluating the quality of the resulting...

How Abnormal Are the PDFs of the DIA Method: A Quality Description in the Context of GNSS

The DIA-method, for the detection, identification and adaptation of modeling errors, has been widely used in a broad range of applications including the quality control of geodetic networks and the integrity monitoring of GNSS models. The DIA-method combines two key statistical inference tools, estimation and testing. Through the former, one...

DIA-datasnooping and identifiability

In this contribution, we present and analyze datasnooping in the context of the DIA method. As the DIA method for the detection, identification and adaptation of mismodelling errors is concerned with estimation and testing, it is the combination of both that needs to be considered. This combination is rigorously captured by the DIA estimator....
