Prior knowledge, if avail- able, must be incorporated into the analysis to yield greater stability. If prior knowledge is not available, however, it must not be invented. This applies to both the structural and the replication framework aspects of a model. The methods of gauging and stability analysis are introduced as alternatives. They use the notion of a technique as the pivot of data anal- ysis, not that of a model. Homogeneity analysis is used as an example.","PeriodicalId":429706,"journal":{"name":"Statistics for Environmental Science and Management","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124767905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The estimators of the marginal distributions are not the marginals of the corresponding estimator of the bivariate distribution. Both estimators require estimation of the conditional distribution when the conditioning variable is subject to censoring. Such a method of estimation is proposed. The weak convergence of the estimators proposed is obtained. A small simulation study suggests that the estimators of the marginal and bivariate distributions perform well relatively to respectively the Kaplan-Meier estimator for the marginal distribution and the estimators of Pruitt and van der Laan for the bivariate distribution. The use of the estimators in practice is illustrated by the analysis of a data set.","PeriodicalId":429706,"journal":{"name":"Statistics for Environmental Science and Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121004872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We showed how to use points estimates for both benefit and cost in various project and portfolio management activities. One can also adapt a range of other models that we did not cover (see e.g. [3, 1, 2]) to points-based estimates. Points-based estimates give rise to project management templates into which you can instantiate various monetary values, for example, various scenarios according to uncertainty assessments. Benefit points make benefit estimation explicit. The strength of this approach over others is that benefit points provide an explicit link from the strategic level through the business case and down and into a project’s product elements and backlogs. In portfolio and project management there are opposing views. For example, the earned business value management regime provides a dashboard with indicators of project progress in terms of your estimates, regardless of exactly when and in what direction cash flows. It gives you metrics for the amount of estimated business value and functionality you are producing. The periodized regime, in contrast, provides a dashboard with indicators of when investment is needed and when a return is expected. These two dashboards represent opposing interests belonging to those who favour product, on the one hand, versus those who favour return, on the other hand. Differences in opinion regarding these views have likely resulted in many conflicts and can ultimately run projects aground. The good news is that you can now construct these dashboards using the same points-based data, data that all stakeholders of the project have produced and own jointly. This at least means that decisions can be made that are closer to what amounts to a common vision of product and process. The lack of documented use of techniques that support benefits management and, in fact, the unfortunate dearth of benefits management at all imply that this book is a call for action. Since benefits management, at least in some form, is making its way into corporate and public service regulations, it is time to move beyond mere talk. Benefits management must manifest itself in concrete benefits management tasks whose effects can be monitored over time. The techniques in this book were designed to support benefits management in that way, but the important thing is that you do use benefits management techniques; if not those presented in this book,","PeriodicalId":429706,"journal":{"name":"Statistics for Environmental Science and Management","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125757267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
