Large Sample Comparison of Parameter Estimates in Gamma Raindrop Distributions

Estimates of Parameter Distributions for Optimal Action Selection

Measuring the Sensitivity of Parameter Estimates to Sample Statistics

We propose a measure of the dependence of a parameter estimate on specific features of the data. The measure can be computed at negligible cost even for computationally difficult models. It can be interpreted as a measure of sensitivity to model misspecification. The measure delivers satisfactory intuitions for pen-and-paper examples. We apply the measure to recent empirical papers in industria...

Large Sample and Bootstrap Intervals for the Gamma Scale Parameter Based on Grouped Data

comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...

Measurements of raindrop-size distributions from dual- polarization spectral observations

Rainfall radar observations depend on underlying raindropsize distributions. Since rain rates retrieval from radar measurements is problem of current interest there is great importance in independent measurements of naturally occurring drop-size distributions. Often in situ measurements of raindrop size distributions are performed using disdrometers (Bringi et al. 2003). Despite wide acceptance...
