Percentile Matching Estimation of Uncertainty Distribution

چکیده
This paper considers the application of method of percentile matching available in statistical theory of estimation for estimating the parameters involved in uncertainty distributions. An empirical study has been carried out to compare the performance of the proposed method with the method of moments and the method of least squares considered by Wang and Peng (J. Uncertainty Analys. Appl. 2, (2014)) and Liu (Uncertainty Theory: A Branch of Mathematics for Modeling Human Uncertainty, (2010)), respectively. The numerical study clearly establishes the superiority of the proposed method over the other two methods in estimating the parameters involved in linear uncertainty distribution when appropriate orders of percentiles are used in the estimation process.

We describe techniques for performing mobile robot localization using occupancy grids that allow subpixel localization and uncertainty estimation in the pixelized pose space. The techniques are based on a localization method where matching is performed between the visible landmarks at the current robot position and a previously generated map of the environment. A likelihood function over the sp...

The uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU), maximum likelihood, percentile (PC), least squares (LS) and weighted least squares (WLS) estimators of the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function are derived for the generalized Rayleigh distribution. This model can be used quite effectively in modelling strength data and also modeling general lifetime data. It has...
متن کاملA new statistical method for design and analyses of component tolerance
Tolerancing conducted by design engineers to meet customers’ needs is a prerequisite for producing high-quality products. Engineers use handbooks to conduct tolerancing. While use of statistical methods for tolerancing is not something new, engineers often use known distributions, including the normal distribution. Yet, if the statistical distribution of the given variable is unknown, a new sta...
