Application of the Simple Saddlepoint Approximation to Estimate Probability Distributions in Wildlife Research
The simple saddlepoint approximation (SSA) uses the mean, variance, and skewness (a measure of the asymmetry of the distribution) of a data set to algebraically approximate the probability density function of a selected variable. We compared habitat-suitability bounds estimated with SSAs and continuous selection functions. Habitat-suitability bounds for bobwhite nesting based on the SSA method ...
متن کاملMulti-Tail Elliptical Distributions
In this paper we present a new type of multivariate distributions for asset returns which we call the multi-tail elliptical distributions. Multi-tail elliptical distribution can be thought to be an extension of the elliptical distributions that allow for varying tail parameters. We present a two-step random mechanism leading to this new type of distributions. In particular, this mechanism is de...
متن کاملA modified elliptical formula to estimate kidney collagen content in a model of chronic kidney disease
The extent of scarring or renal interstitial collagen deposition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) can only be ascertained by highly invasive, painful and sometimes risky, tissue biopsy. Interestingly, while CKD-related abnormalities in kidney size can often be visualized using ultrasound, not only does the ellipsoid formula used today underestimate true renal size, but the calculated renal size ...
متن کاملUsing price distributions to estimate search costs
We show how the equilibrium restrictions implied by standard search models can be used to estimate search-cost distributions using price data alone. We consider both sequential and nonsequential search strategies, and develop estimation methodologies that exploit equilibrium restrictions to recover estimates of search-cost heterogeneity that are theoretically consistent with the search models. ...
متن کاملUsing Expert Assessments to Estimate Probability Distributions
Previous decision analysis literature has established the presence of judgmental errors in the quantile judgments provided by an expert. However a systematic approach to using quantile judgments to deduce the mean and standard deviation of the underlying probability distribution while accounting for judgmental errors has not yet been established. This paper develops an optimization based approa...
