Algebraic-exponential Data Recovery from Moments
Let G be a bounded open subset of Euclidean space with real algebraic boundary Γ. Under the assumption that the degree d of Γ is given, and the power moments of the Lebesgue measure on G are known up to order 3d, we describe an algorithmic procedure for obtaining a polynomial vanishing on Γ. The particular case of semialgebraic sets defined by a single polynomial inequality raises an intriguing...
متن کاملA Note on the Smooth Estimator of the Quantile Function with Left-Truncated Data
This note focuses on estimating the quantile function based on the kernel smooth estimator under a truncated dependent model. The Bahadurtype representation of the kernel smooth estimator is established, and from the Bahadur representation it can be seen that this estimator is strongly consistent.
متن کاملSample-based quantile function estimation using entropy and self-determined probability weighted moments
The method of conventional probability-weighted moments (PWMs) and the principle of minimum cross entropy were combined to derive an analytical form of quantile function [Pandey, 2001]. This method is extended and improved in the present paper by utilizing the concept of self determined probability weighted moments (SD-PWMs). Minimum cross entropy principle and SD-PWMs from sample data were use...
متن کاملConditioning your quantile function
Random sampling via a quantile function Q(u) is a popular technique, but two very common sources of numerical instability are often overlooked: (i) quantile functions tend to be ill-conditioned when u → 1 and (ii) feeding them uniformly spaced u can make them ill-conditioned as u → 0. These flaws undermine the tails of Q(u)’s distribution, and both flaws are present in the polar method for norm...
متن کاملEstimation of quantile mixtures via L-moments and trimmed L-moments
Moments or cumulants have been traditionally used to characterize a probability distribution or an observed data set. Recently, L-moments and trimmed L-moments have been noticed as appealing alternatives to the conventional moments. This paper promotes the use of L-moments proposing new parametric families of distributions that can be estimated by the method of L-moments. The theoretical L-mome...
