Problems with Fitting to the Power-Law Distribution
This short communication uses a simple experiment to show that fitting to a power law distribution by using graphical methods based on linear fit on the log-log scale is biased and inaccurate. It shows that using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is far more robust. Finally, it presents a new table for performing the Kolmogorov-Smirnof test for goodness-of-fit tailored to power-law distributi...
متن کاملA New Approach to Distribution Fitting: Decision on Beliefs
We introduce a new approach to distribution fitting, called Decision on Beliefs (DOB). The objective is to identify the probability distribution function (PDF) of a random variable X with the greatest possible confidence. It is known that f X is a member of = { , , }. 1 m S f L f To reach this goal and select X f from this set, we utilize stochastic dynamic programming and formulate this proble...
متن کاملFrequency Analysis of FG Sandwich Rectangular Plates with a Four-Parameter Power-Law Distribution
An accurate solution procedure based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory for the free vibration analysis of Functionally Graded Sandwich (FGS) plates is presented. Since no assumptions on stresses and displacements have been employed, it can be applied to the free vibration analysis of plates with arbitrary thickness. The two-constituent FGS plate consists of ceramic and metal graded thr...
متن کاملOn convergence of homotopy analysis method to solve the Schrodinger equation with a power law nonlinearity
In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is considered to obtain the solution of the Schrodinger equation with a power law nonlinearity. For this purpose, a theorem is proved to show the convergence of the series solution obtained from the proposed method. Also, an example is solved to illustrate the eciency of the mentioned algorithm and the h-curve is plotted to determine the region ...
متن کاملAn Improved Power Law for Nonlinear Least-Squares Fitting?
Models based on a power law are prevalent in many areas of study. When regression analysis is performed on data sets modeled by a power law, the traditional model uses a lead coefficient. However, the proposed model replaces the lead coefficient with a scaling parameter and reduces uncertainties in best-fit parameters for data sets with exponents close to 3. This study extends previous work by ...
