Detecting Bimodality in Astronomical Datasets
We discuss statistical techniques for detecting and quantifying bimodality in astronomical datasets. We concentrate on the KMM algorithm, which estimates the statistical significance of bimodality in such datasets and objectively partitions data into sub-populations. By simulating bimodal distributions with a range of properties we investigate the sensitivity of KMM to datasets with varying cha...
متن کاملHigher Order Moments and Recurrence Relations of Order Statistics from the Exponentiated Gamma Distribution
Order statistics arising from exponentiated gamma (EG) distribution are considered. Closed from expressions for the single and double moments of order statistics are derived. Measures of skewness and kurtosis of the probability density function of the rth order statistic for different choices of r, n and /theta are presented. Recurrence relations between single and double moments of r...
متن کاملBimodal t-ratios: The Impact of Thick Tails on Inference
This paper studies the distribution of the classical t-ratio with data generated from distributions with no finite moments and shows how classical testing is affected by bimodality. A key condition in generating bimodality is independence of the observations in the underlying data generating process (DGP). The paper highlights the strikingly different implications of lack of correlation versus ...
متن کاملComparison of Artificial Neural Network, Decision Tree and Bayesian Network Models in Regional Flood Frequency Analysis using L-moments and Maximum Likelihood Methods in Karkheh and Karun Watersheds
Proper flood discharge forecasting is significant for the design of hydraulic structures, reducing the risk of failure, and minimizing downstream environmental damage. The objective of this study was to investigate the application of machine learning methods in Regional Flood Frequency Analysis (RFFA). To achieve this goal, 18 physiographic, climatic, lithological, and land use parameters were ...
متن کاملEstimation of quantile mixtures via L-moments and trimmed L-moments
Moments or cumulants have been traditionally used to characterize a probability distribution or an observed data set. Recently, L-moments and trimmed L-moments have been noticed as appealing alternatives to the conventional moments. This paper promotes the use of L-moments proposing new parametric families of distributions that can be estimated by the method of L-moments. The theoretical L-mome...
