Estimation of second order parameters using probability-weighted moments
The P.O.T. method (Peaks Over Threshold) consists in using the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) as an approximation for the distribution of excesses over a high threshold. In this work, we use a refinement of this approximation in order to estimate second order parameters of the model using the method of probability-weighted moments (PWM): in particular, this leads to the introduction of a...
متن کاملPolynomial probability distribution estimation using the method of moments
We suggest a procedure for estimating Nth degree polynomial approximations to unknown (or known) probability density functions (PDFs) based on N statistical moments from each distribution. The procedure is based on the method of moments and is setup algorithmically to aid applicability and to ensure rigor in use. In order to show applicability, polynomial PDF approximations are obtained for the...
متن کاملCharacteristic Function in Estimation of Probability Distribution Moments
Abstract—In this article the problem of distributional moments estimation is considered. The new approach of moments estimation based on usage of the characteristic function is proposed. By statistical simulation technique author shows that new approach has some robust properties. For calculation of the derivatives of characteristic function there is used numerical differentiation. Obtained res...
متن کاملEvaluation of estimation methods for parameters of the probability functions in tree diameter distribution modeling
One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...
متن کاملParameters Estimation of Nakagami Probability Distribution Using Methods of L.Moments
In communications theory, Nakagami distribution (NKD) is used to model scattered signals that reach a receiver from different paths. In order to use NKD to model a given set of data, we will have to estimate its parameters from the given data. Method of L-Moments (MLM) is being compared with Method of Moments (MOM) for estimating the parameters of NKD. In this study, we have derived its first t...
