‎the aim of this paper is to study distribution of ratios of generalized order statistics from pareto distribution. parameter estimation of pareto distribution based on generalized order statistics and ratios of them have been obtained. inferences using method of moments and unbiased estimator have been obtained to develop point estimations. consistency of unbiased estimator has been illustrate...

the purpose of velocity analysis is to extract the normal moveout velocity as a function of the zero-offset travel time at selected cdp locations along the seismic line. since results of velocity analysis depend on coherency estimator, an estimator that provides a high velocity resolution is essential. even though the conventional semblance method which is the most popular coherency estimator (...

Shannon entropy is increasingly used in many applications. In this article, an estimator of the entropy of a continuous random variable is proposed. Consistency and scale invariance of variance and mean squared error of the proposed estimator is proved and then comparisons are made with Vasicek's (1976), van Es (1992), Ebrahimi et al. (1994) and Correa (1995) entropy estimators. A simulation st...

three k-tree distance and fixed-sized plot designs were used for estimating tree density in sparse oak forests. these forests cover the main part of the zagros mountain area in western iran. they are non-timber-oriented forest but important for protection purposes. the main objective was to investigate the statistical performance of k-tree distance and fixed-sized plot designs in the estimation...

let x be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. in many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. as the usual estimator of θ, i.e., x under the linex loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for x becomes worthwhile. the only study in the literature considered the problem of min...

Load Frequency Control (LFC) has received considerable attention during last decades. This paper proposes a new method for designing decentralized interaction estimators for interconnected large-scale systems and utilizes it to multi-area power systems. For each local area, a local estimator is designed to estimate the interactions of this area using only the local output measurements. In fact,...

 Minimax estimation problems with restricted parameter space reached increasing interest within the last two decades Some authors derived minimax and admissible estimators of bounded parameters under squared error loss and scale invariant squared error loss In some truncated estimation problems the most natural estimator to be considered is the truncated version of a classic...

Let X be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. In many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. As the usual estimator of θ, i.e., X under the LINEX loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for X becomes worthwhile. The only study in the literature considered the problem of min...
