Univariate parametric survival analysis using GS-distributions.

Albert Sorribas, José M. Muiño, Montserrat Rué, Joan Fibla (2006)

SORT

Similarity:

The GS-distribution is a family of distributions that provide an accurate representation of any unimodal univariate continuous distribution. In this contribution we explore the utility of this family as a general model in survival analysis. We show that the survival function based on the GS-distribution is able to provide a model for univariate survival data and that appropriate estimates can be obtained. We develop some hypotheses tests that can be used for checking the underlying survival...

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...

Three methods for constructing reference prior distributions.

Eusebio Gómez Sánchez-Manzano, Miguel A. Gómez Villegas (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

Three methods are proposed for constructing reference prior densities for certain biparametric distribution families. These densities represent approximations to the Bayesian concept of noninformative distribution.

MLE for the γ-order Generalized Normal Distribution

Christos P. Kitsos, Vassilios G. Vassiliadis, Thomas L. Toulias (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The introduced three parameter (position μ, scale ∑ and shape γ) multivariate generalized Normal distribution (γ-GND) is based on a strong theoretical background and emerged from Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities. It includes a number of well known distributions such as the multivariate Uniform, Normal, Laplace and the degenerated Dirac distributions. In this paper, the cumulative distribution, the truncated distribution and the hazard rate of the γ-GND are presented. In addition, the...

Improving predictive distributions.

Morris H. DeGroot (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Consider a sequence of decision problems S, S, ... and suppose that in problem S the statistician must specify his predictive distribution F for some random variable X and make a decision based on that distribution. For example, X might be the return on some particular investment and the statistician must decide whether or not to make that investment. The random variables X, X, ... are assumed to be independent and completely unrelated. It is also assumed that each predictive distribution...
