Age-varying bivariate distribution models for growth prediction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Height-diameter models are classically analyzed by fixed or mixed linear and non-linear regression models. In order to possess the among-plot variability, we propose stochastic differential equations that are deduced from the standard deterministic dynamic ordinary differential equations by adding the process variability to the growth dynamic. The advantage of the stochastic differential equation framework is that it analyzes a residual variability, corresponding to measurements error, and an individual variability to represent heterogeneity between subjects. An analysis of 1575 Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) trees provided the data for this study. The results are implemented in the symbolic computational language MAPLE. Keywords—Age-varying bivariate density, diameter, height, normal bivariate copula, stochastic differential equation.

Model Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample
We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...
متن کاملBayesian Prediction Intervals under Bivariate Truncated Generalized Cauchy Distribution
Ateya and Madhagi (2011) introduced a multivariate form of truncated generalized Cauchy distribution (TGCD), which introduced by Ateya and Al-Hussaini (2007). The multivariate version of (TGCD) is denoted by (MVTGCD). Among the features of this form are that subvectors and conditional subvectors of random vectors, distributed according to this distribution, have the same form of distribution ...

متن کاملComparing Bivariate and Multivariate Methods in Landslide Sustainability Mapping: A Case Study of Chelchay Watershed
1- INTRODUCTION In the last decades, due to human interventions and the effect of natural factors, the occurrence of landslide increased especially in the north of Iran, where the amount of rainfall is suitable for the landslide occurrence. In order to manage and mitigate the damages caused by landslide, the potential landslide-prone areas should be identified. In landslide susceptibili...
