The estimation of stable distribution parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns the estimation of the parameters that describe a stable distribution. Stable distributions are characterised by four parameters which can be estimated using a number of methods and although approximate maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) techniques do exist, they are computationally intensive. There are a number of techniques that are much faster thanMLE and these are the focus of this paper. These techniques are compared and contrasted both for stable random variables and for teletraffic data.

A Robust Distributed Estimation Algorithm under Alpha-Stable Noise Condition
Robust adaptive estimation of unknown parameter has been an important issue in recent years for reliable operation in the distributed networks. The conventional adaptive estimation algorithms that rely on mean square error (MSE) criterion exhibit good performance in the presence of Gaussian noise, but their performance drastically decreases under impulsive noise. In this paper, we propose a rob...
متن کاملBayes Interval Estimation on the Parameters of the Weibull Distribution for Complete and Censored Tests
A method for constructing confidence intervals on parameters of a continuous probability distribution is developed in this paper. The objective is to present a model for an uncertainty represented by parameters of a probability density function. As an application, confidence intervals for the two parameters of the Weibull distribution along with their joint confidence interval are derived. The...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Parameters in the Exponentiated Gumbel Distribution
Abstract: The Exponentiated Gumbel (EG) distribution has been proposed to capture some aspects of the data that the Gumbel distribution fails to specify. In this paper, we estimate the EG's parameters in the Bayesian framework. We consider a 2-level hierarchical structure for prior distribution. As the posterior distributions do not admit a closed form, we do an approximated inference by using ...
متن کاملEstimation of Parameters for an Extended Generalized Half Logistic Distribution Based on Complete and Censored Data
This paper considers an Extended Generalized Half Logistic distribution. We derive some properties of this distribution and then we discuss estimation of the distribution parameters by the methods of moments, maximum likelihood and the new method of minimum spacing distance estimator based on complete data. Also, maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters based on Type-I and Typ...
متن کاملEstimation Methods for the Parameters of Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution
Abstract: Depending on the type of distribution, estimation of parameters are not sometimes simple in practice. In particular, this is the case for Birnbaum-Saunders distribution (BS). In this article, we present four different methods for estimating the parameters of a BS distribution. First, a simple graphical technique, analogous to probability plotting, is used to estimate the parameters an...
