Using Order Statistics to Estimate Real Estate Bid Distributions
提出一种基于顺序统计量的方法，用于估计房产收到的竞标分布参数，并讨论标价对数据的影响及处理删失数据的修正方法，帮助制定最优销售策略。
In order to determine an optimum sales strategy for a property it is useful to estimate the distribution of bids which will be received for the property. The more accurate the estimate of the distribution, the higher the expected return will be from following the optimal strategy. This paper presents a technique for estimating the parameters of that distribution based on order statistics. It also describes how a posted list price might affect the sale price data used in this estimation technique, and how the technique can be modified to deal with this type of censored data.
