14.5 Estimators for Parameters of Drop-size Distribution Functions: Sampling from Gamma Distributions
This work represents a continuation in the investigation of techniques to estimate the parameters for raindrop-size-distribution (DSD) functions. Although moment estimators are often used to estimate these parameters, our previous work (Smith and Kliche, 2005; Smith et al., 2005) showed that the method of moments produces biased results that can lead to misleading extrapolations, and that the r...
متن کاملOn Generalized Gamma Convolution Distributions
We present here characterizations of certain families of generalized gamma convolution distributions of L. Bondesson based on a simple relationship between two truncated moments. We also present a list of well-known random variables whose distributions or the distributions of certain functions of them belong to the class of generalized gamma convolutions. Mathematics Subject Classification 2000...
متن کاملSample Size Requirements for Assessing Statistical Moments of Simulated Crop Yield Distributions
Mechanistic crop growth models are becoming increasingly important in agricultural research and are extensively used in climate change impact assessments. In such studies, statistics of crop yields are usually evaluated without the explicit consideration of sample size requirements. The purpose of this paper was to identify minimum sample sizes for the estimation of average, standard deviation ...
متن کاملGeneralized Non-extensive Statistical Distributions
We find the value of constants related to constraints in characterization of some known statistical distributions and then we proceed to use the idea behind maximum entropy principle to derive generalized version of this distributions using the Tsallis’ and Renyi information measures instead of the well-known Bolztmann-Gibbs-Shannon. These generalized distributions will depend on q ∈ R and in t...
متن کاملGeneralized Dirichlet distributions on the ball and moments
The geometry of unitN -dimensional lp balls (denoted here by BN,p) has been intensively investigated in the past decades. A particular topic of interest has been the study of the asymptotics of their projections. Apart from their intrinsic interest, such questions have applications in several probabilistic and geometric contexts Barthe et al. (2005). In this paper, our aim is to revisit some kn...
