Parameter estimation for tempered power law distributions ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tail estimates are developed for power law probability distributions with exponential tempering using a conditional maximum likelihood approach based on the upper order statistics. The method is demonstrated on simulated data from a tempered stable distribution, and for several data sets from geophysics and finance that show a power law probability tail with some tempering.

Parameter Estimation for Exponentially Tempered Power Law Distributions
Tail estimates are developed for power law probability distributions with exponential tempering, using a conditional maximum likelihood approach based on the upper order statistics. Tempered power law distributions are intermediate between heavy power-law tails and Laplace or exponential tails, and are sometimes called “semiheavy” tailed distributions. The estimation method is demonstrated on s...
متن کاملTempered Stable Distributions and Processes
We investigate the class of tempered stable distributions and their associated processes. Our analysis of tempered stable distributions includes limit distributions, parameter estimation and the study of their densities. Regarding tempered stable processes, we deal with density transformations and compute their p-variation indices. Exponential stock models driven by tempered stable processes ar...
متن کاملTruncated Linear Minimax Estimator of a Power of the Scale Parameter in a Lower- Bounded Parameter Space
Minimax estimation problems with restricted parameter space reached increasing interest within the last two decades Some authors derived minimax and admissible estimators of bounded parameters under squared error loss and scale invariant squared error loss In some truncated estimation problems the most natural estimator to be considered is the truncated version of a classic...
متن کاملFracFit: A robust parameter estimation tool for fractional calculus models
Anomalous transport cannot be adequately described with classical Fickian advectiondispersion equations (ADE) with constant coefficients. Rather, fractional calculus models may be used, which capture salient features of anomalous transport (e.g., skewness and power law tails). FracFit is a parameter estimation tool based on space-fractional and time-fractional models used by the hydrology commu...
متن کاملMinimax Estimation of the Scale Parameter in a Family of Transformed Chi-Square Distributions under Asymmetric Squared Log Error and MLINEX Loss Functions
This paper is concerned with the problem of finding the minimax estimators of the scale parameter ? in a family of transformed chi-square distributions, under asymmetric squared log error (SLE) and modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss functions, using the Lehmann Theorem [2]. Also we show that the results of Podder et al. [4] for Pareto distribution are a special case of our results for th...
