On nonlinear weighted least squares fitting of the three-parameter inverse Weibull distribution∗
In this paper we consider nonlinear least squares fitting of the three-parameter inverse Weibull distribution to the given data (wi, ti, yi), i = 1, . . . , n, n ≥ 3. As the main result, we show that the least squares estimate exists provided that the data satisfy just the following two natural conditions: (i) 0 < t1 < t2 < . . . < tn and (ii) 0 < y1 < y2 < . . . < yn < 1. To this end, an illus...
متن کاملLeast squares fitting the three - parameter inverse Weibull density ∗
The inverse Weibull model was developed by Erto [10]. In practice, the unknown parameters of the appropriate inverse Weibull density are not known and must be estimated from a random sample. Estimation of its parameters has been approached in the literature by various techniques, because a standard maximum likelihood estimate does not exist. To estimate the unknown parameters of the three-param...
متن کاملDiscontinuous parameter estimates with least squares estimators
We discuss weighted least squares estimates of ill-conditioned linear inverse problems where weights are chosen to be inverse error covariance matrices. Least squares estimators are the maximum likelihood estimate for normally distributed data and parameters, but here we do not assume particular probability distributions. Weights for the estimator are found by ensuring its minimum follows a χ d...
متن کاملModified Weighted Least Squares Method to Improve Active Distribution System State Estimation
The development of communications and telecommunications infrastructure, followed by the extension of a new generation of smart distribution grids, has brought real-time control of distribution systems to electrical industry professionals’ attention. Also, the increasing use of distributed generation (DG) resources and the need for participation in the system voltage control, which is possible ...
متن کاملWeighted Least Squares Estimators for a Change-Point
This article deals with estimation of the change-point in a sequence of independent random variables. It is based on a least squares process endowed with a weight function. For finite sample sizes we derive bounds of the error probability. They immediately yield rates of consistency which are known to be optimal. Our findings extend and sharpen earlier results of Antoch, Hušková and Veraverbeke...
