Simulating Univariate and Multivariate Nonnormal Distributions through the Method of Percentiles.
This article derives a standard normal-based power method polynomial transformation for Monte Carlo simulation studies, approximating distributions, and fitting distributions to data based on the method of percentiles. The proposed method is used primarily when (1) conventional (or L) moment-based estimators such as skew (or L-skew) and kurtosis (or L -kurtosis) are unknown or (2) data are unav...
متن کاملSimulating Multivariate Nonnormal Data Using an Iterative Algorithm.
Simulating multivariate nonnormal data with specified correlation matrices is difficult. One especially popular method is Vale and Maurelli's (1983) extension of Fleishman's (1978) polynomial transformation technique to multivariate applications. This requires the specification of distributional moments and the calculation of an intermediate correlation matrix such that when data are transforme...
متن کاملUnivariate and Multivariate Merit Factors
Merit factor of a binary sequence is reviewed, and constructions are described that appear to satisfy an asymptotic merit factor of 6.3421 . . .Multivariate merit factor is characterised and recursive Boolean constructions are presented which satisfy a non-vanishing asymptote in multivariate merit factor. Clifford merit factor is characterised as a generalisation of multivariate merit factor an...
متن کاملUnivariate and multivariate Pareto models
The Pareto distribution has long been recognized as a suitable model for many non-negative socio-economic variables. Univariate and multivariate variations abound. Some unification is possible by representing the Pareto variables in terms of independent gamma distributed components. Further unification is sometimes possible since some of the frequently used multivariate Pareto models share the ...
متن کاملComparing Univariate and Multivariate Indices in Drought Monitoring
In this study, drought characteristics of Arak, Bandar Anzali, Tabriz, Tehran, Rasht, Zahedan, Shiraz and Kerman stations during the statistical period of 1956 to 2015 were studied by Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) and Standardized Precipitation Index. Precipitation and temperature data were needed to calculate RDI. Precipitation data was also required to estimate SPI. In this study, Drinc ...
