A multimodal beta distribution with application to economic data

Saralees Nadarajah, Samuel Kotz (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Beta distributions are popular models for economic data. In this paper, a new multimodal beta distribution with bathtub shaped failure rate function is introduced. Various structural properties of this distribution are derived, including its cdf, moments, mean deviation about the mean, mean deviation about the median, entropy, asymptotic distribution of the extreme order statistics, maximum likelihood estimates and the Fisher information matrix. Finally, an application to consumer price...

On the outstanding elements and record values in the exponential and gamma populations.

G. S. Lingappaiah (1981)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Outstanding elements and recorded values are discussed in this paper as related to exponential and gamma populations. First, the problem of prediction is considered when there are available, k sets of independent observations from a general-type exponential distribution. In such a case, prediction of the n-th record value in the k-th set is made in terms of n-th (i = 1, ..., k-1) record values from other (k-1) sets. For this purpose a predictive distribution is obtained. Secondly, the...

Improved inference for the generalized Pareto distribution under linear, power and exponential normalization

Osama Mohareb Khaled, Haroon Mohamed Barakat, Nourhan Khalil Rakha (2022)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

We discuss three estimation methods: the method of moments, probability weighted moments, and L-moments for the scale parameter and the extreme value index in the generalized Pareto distribution under linear normalization. Moreover, we adapt these methods to use for the generalized Pareto distribution under power and exponential normalizations. A simulation study is conducted to compare the three methods on the three models and determine which is the best, which turned out to be the...
