Modified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
متن کاملImproving maximum likelihood estimation using prior probabilities: A tutorial on maximum a posteriori estimation and an examination of the weibull distribution
This tutorial describes a parameter estimation technique that is little-known in social sciences, namely maximum a posteriori estimation. This technique can be used in conjunction with prior knowledge to improve maximum likelihood estimation of the best-fitting parameters of a data set. The estimates are based on the mode of the posterior distribution of a Bayesian analysis. The relationship be...
متن کاملAN OPTIMUM APPROACH TOWARDS SEISMIC FRAGILITY FUNCTION OF STRUCTURES THROUGH METAHEURISTIC HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Vulnerability assessment of structures encounter many uncertainties like seismic excitations intensity and response of structures. The most common approach adopted to deal with these uncertainties is vulnerability assessment through fragility functions. Fragility functions exhibit the probability of exceeding a state namely performance-level as a function of seismic intensity. A common approach...
متن کاملDerivative-intense Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Covariance Components for Animal Models
INTRODUCTION Estimation of covariance components by Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) fitting an animal model is widely carried out using a derivative-free (DF) algorithm to locate the maximum of the likelihood function. While such algorithms have proven robust and easy to use, they are generally slow to converge, often requiring many likelihood evaluations, in particular for multivariate an...
متن کاملClassical and Bayesian Inference in Two Parameter Exponential Distribution with Randomly Censored Data
Abstract. This paper deals with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not...
