Third order asymptotic models: likelihood functions leading to accurate approximations for distribution functions
A very accurate saddlepoint approximation formula for the distribution function of the sample average was obtained by Lugannani and Rice (1980), and reformulated for exponential models in terms of likelihood by Daniels (1958, 1987). In this paper we obtain a simple third order asymptotic correspondence between cumulant generating functions and corresponding log density functions, leading to a c...
متن کاملA Modified Energy Balance Method to Obtain Higher-order Approximations to the Oscillators with Cubic and Harmonic Restoring Force
This article analyzes a strongly nonlinear oscillator with cubic and harmonic restoring force and proposes an efficient analytical technique based on the modified energy balance method (MEBM). The proposed method incorporates higher-order approximations. After applying the proposed MEBM, a set of complicated higher-order nonlinear algebraic equations are obtained. Higher-order nonlinear algebra...
متن کاملConditional risk measurement using conditional higher order moments: a dynamic application of the skew t-distribution
This paper presents a parsimonious approach to estimating conditional skewness and kurtosis, as well as conditional variance, in financial log-returns time series. Using a GARCH formulation of the skew t-distribution (Jones and Faddy, 2003), autoregressive relationships are developed for the conditional skewness and conditional kurtosis. A numerical example indicates that allowing for estimates...
متن کاملHigher Order Spt-functions
Andrews’ spt-function can be written as the difference between the second symmetrized crank and rank moment functions. Using the machinery of Bailey pairs a combinatorial interpretation is given for the difference between higher order symmetrized crank and rank moment functions. This implies an inequality between crank and rank moments that was only known previously for sufficiently large n and...
متن کاملSolving Higher Order Functions
In this paper we extend the class of energy functions for which the optimal α-expansion and αβswap moves can be computed in polynomial time. Specifically, we introduce a novel family of higher order clique potentials and show that the expansion and swap moves for any energy function composed of these potentials can be found by minimizing a submodular function. We also show that for a subset of ...
