We show that the methodology suggested by Cox and S...
متن کاملThree-Parameter Kappa Distribution Maximum likelihood Estimates and Likelihood Ratio Tests
Methods are presented for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates and tests of hypotheses involving the three-parameter kappa distribution. The obtained methods are then applied by fitting this distribution to realized sets of precipitation and streamflow data and testing for seeding effect differences between realized seeded and nonseeded sets of precipitation data. The kappa distribution appea...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood-Like Estimators for the Gamma Distribution
It is well-known that maximum likelihood (ML) estimators of the two parameters in a Gamma distribution do not have closed forms. This poses difficulties in some applications such as real-time signal processing using low-grade processors. The Gamma distribution is a special case of a generalized Gamma distribution. Surprisingly, two out of the three likelihood equations of the generalized Gamma ...
متن کاملOn the Bias of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator for the Two- Parameter Lomax Distribution
The Lomax (Pareto II) distribution has found wide application in a variety of fields. We analyze the second-order bias of the maximum likelihood estimators of its parameters for finite sample sizes, and show that this bias is positive. We derive an analytic bias correction which reduces the percentage bias of these estimators by one or two orders of magnitude, while simultaneously reducing rela...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Parameter Estimation
The problem of estimating the parameters for continuous-time partially observed systems is discussed. New exact lters for obtaining Maximum Likelihood (ML) parameter estimates via the Expectation Maximization algorithm are derived. The methodology exploits relations between incomplete and complete data likelihood and gradient of likelihood functions, which are derived using Girsanov's measure t...
