In this paper, we are concerned with the situations, where sometimes value two is reported erroneously as one in relation to size biased generalized negative binomial distribution (SBGNBD) with probability αα. We have obtained the Maximum likelihood estimator and Bayes estimator under general entropy loss function. A simulated study is carried out to access the performance of the maximum likeli...

The on-axis image irradiance obtained from a radially symmetric optical system under broadband illumination is analysed in the phase-space domain of the Wigner distribution function associated with a modified one-dimensional pupil aperture. To this end, a coordinate transformation is employed in such a way that the varying on-axis irradiance can be derived from different slices of a two-dimensi...

We describe an idea for making decomposition of Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions into basis functions more efficient, by performing a change-of-variables transformation on the BRDFs. In particular, we propose a reparameterization of the BRDF as a function of the halfangle (i.e. the angle halfway between the directions of incidence and reflection) and a difference angle instead o...

Heart sounds and murmurs are time-varying signals that would best be analyzed using time-frequency analysis. Windowed Wigner-Ville distribution (WWVD) and smooth windowed Wigner-Ville distribution (SWWVD) are used to obtain the timefiequency representation (TFR) of the signal. Determination of parameter setting of WWVD and SWWVD will eliminate the cross-terms and improve TFR. The accuracy of TF...

The Wigner distribution (WD) can be decomposed into a linear combination of elementary WDs. Slow-oscillatory elementary WDs and fast-oscillatory elementary WDs mainly contribute to auto-terms and cross-terms, respectively. Using a weight function to keep slow-oscillatory elementary WDs and attenuate fast-oscillatory elementary WDs, one can balance auto-term resolution and cross-term suppression...

We introduce a new five-parameter distribution called the beta exponentiated Gumbel (BEG) distribution that includes the beta Gumbel, exponentiated Gumbel and Gumbel distribution. Expressions for the distribution function, density function and rth moment of the new distribution and order statistics are obtained. We discuss estimation of the parameters by maximum liklelihood ...

Many scattering models have been presented in the graphics literature. Few of them, however, have been evaluated through comparisons with real measured data. As the demand for plausible and predictable scattering models increases, more attention is given to performing such comparisons. In this paper we examine the implementation of virtual goniphotometers used to obtain BRDF (bidirectional refl...

Existing bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) models are capable of capturing the distinctive highlights produced by the fibrous nature of wood. However, capturing parameter textures for even a single specimen remains a laborious process requiring specialized equipment. In this paper we take a procedural approach to generating parameters for the wood BSDF. We characterize the ...
