Bayesian Estimation of Shift Point in Shape Parameter of Inverse Gaussian Distribution Under Different Loss Functions
In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...
متن کاملA new interpretation of sea-surface slope probability density functions
[1] Sea-surface slope probability density functions, which are usually fitted to a GramCharlier series, can be fit equally well by a bound wave/free wave model in which the distributions of bound and free waves are Gaussian. Bound waves are generated by longer waves on the surface and travel at nearly the phase speed of the long wave while free waves are generated directly by the wind and trave...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Random Irregular Waves for Wave Generation in Laboratory Flumes
Understanding of wave hydrodynamics and its effects are important for engineers and scientists. Important insights may be gained from laboratory studies. Often the waves are simulated in laboratory flumes do not have the full characteristics of real sea waves. It is then necessary to present reliable methods of wave generation in wave flumes. In this paper, the results of numerically simulate...
متن کاملHinode/EIS observations of propagating low-frequency slow magnetoacoustic waves in fan-like coronal loops
Aims. We report the first observation of multiple-periodic propagating disturbances along a fan-like coronal structure simultaneously detected in both intensity and Doppler shift in the Fe xii 195 Å line with the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) onboard Hinode. A new application of coronal seismology is provided based on this observation. Methods. We analyzed the EIS sit-and-stare mode observatio...
متن کاملStatistical phase propagation and dispersion analysis of low frequency waves in the magnetosheath
We present the results of a statistical analysis of low-frequency fluctuations in the high latitude regions of the dayside magnetosheath using CLUSTER as a wave telescope. Magnetic field observations are used to determine wave propagation directions and wave numbers for selected frequencies. Using observations of the plasma flow velocity we correct for the Doppler shift, in order to calculate f...
