Fitting the Generalized Logistic Distribution by LQ-Moments

چکیده
The method of LQ-moments (LQMOM) for estimating parameters and quantiles of the Generalized Logistic (GL) distribution are introduced. We explore and extend class of LQMOM with consideration combinations of p and α values in the range 0 and 0.5. The popular quantile estimator namely the weighted kernel quantile (WKQ) estimator is proposed to estimate the quantile function. A comparison of these methods is done by simulation. The performances of the proposed estimators of the GL distribution was compared with the estimators based on L-moments for various sample sizes and return periods. The overall results show the LQMOM provides better results only for small or moderate sample size.

متن کاملComparison of GLD Fitting Methods: Superiority of Percentile Fits to Moments in L^2 Norm
The flexibility of the family of Generalized Lambda Distributions (GLD) has encouraged researchers to fit GLD distributions to datasets in many circumstances. The methods that have been used to obtain GLD fits have also varied. This paper compares, for the first time, the relative qualities of three GLD fitting methods: the method of moments, a method based on percentiles, and a method that use...
