Estimation of moments and quantiles using censored data
Censored data sets are often encountered in water quality investigations and streamflow analyses. A Monte Carlo analysis examined the performance of three techniques for estimating the moments and quantiles of a distribution using censored data sets. These techniques include a lognormal maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), a logprobability plot regression estimator, and a new log-partial probabi...
متن کاملAssessing Multivariate Normality using Normalized Hermite Moments
2 Summary The classical multivariate data analysis has been based largely on a multivariate normal distribution assumption. Therefore almost all of the work was concentrated on just location and dispersion parameters, with relatively little attention to questions of high-order characteristics. For characterization of multivariate distribution, its moments are very expressive. This fact was used...
متن کاملRelating quantiles and expectiles under weighted-symmetry
Recently, quantiles and expectiles of a regression function have been investigated by several authors. In this work, we give a suu-cient condition under which a quantile and an expectile coincide. We extend some classical results known for mean, median and symmetry to expectiles, quantiles and weighted-symmetry. We also study split-models and sample estimators of expectiles.
متن کاملEstimation of Distributions , Moments and Quantiles in Deconvolution Problems
When using the bootstrap in the presence of measurement error, we must first estimate the target distribution function; we cannot directly resample, since we do not have a sample from the target. These and other considerations motivate the development of estimators of distributions, and of related quantities such as moments and quantiles, in errors-in-variables settings. We show that such estim...
متن کاملExpansions for Quantiles and Multivariate Moments of Extremes for Distributions of Pareto Type
Let Xnr be the rth largest of a random sample of size n from a distribution F (x) = 1− ∑∞ i=0 cix −α−iβ for α > 0 and β > 0. An inversion theorem is proved and used to derive an expansion for the quantile F−1(u) and powers of it. From this an expansion in powers of (n−1, n−β/α) is given for the multivariate moments of the extremes {Xn,n−si , 1 ≤ i ≤ k}/n1/α for fixed s = (s1, . . . , sk), where...
