چکیده

We propose an estimator for the α fractional derivative of a distribution function. Our estimator, based on finite differences of the empirical df generalizes the estimator proposed by Maltz (1974) for the nonnegative real case. The asymptotic bias, variance and the consistency of the estimator are studied. Finally, the optimal choice for the ”smoothing parameter” proves that even in the fractional case, the Stone’s rate of convergence is achieved.

A Berry-Esseen Type Bound for a Smoothed Version of Grenander Estimator

In various statistical model, such as density estimation and estimation of regression curves or hazard rates, monotonicity constraints can arise naturally. A frequently encountered problem in nonparametric statistics is to estimate a monotone density function f on a compact interval. A known estimator for density function of f under the restriction that f is decreasing, is Grenander estimator, ...

Statistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm

This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...

New operational matrix for solving a class of optimal control problems with Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative

In this paper, we apply spectral method based on the Bernstein polynomials for solving a class of optimal control problems with Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. In the first step, we introduce the dual basis and operational matrix of product based on the Bernstein basis. Then, we get the Bernstein operational matrix for the Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractio...

A study of a Stefan problem governed with space–time fractional derivatives

This paper presents a fractional mathematical model of a one-dimensional phase-change problem (Stefan problem) with a variable latent-heat (a power function of position). This model includes space–time fractional derivatives in the Caputo sense and time-dependent surface-heat flux. An approximate solution of this model is obtained by using the optimal homotopy asymptotic method to find the solu...

Numerical Solution of Caputo-Fabrizio Time Fractional Distributed Order Reaction-diffusion Equation via Quasi Wavelet based Numerical Method

In this paper, we derive a novel numerical method to find out the numerical solution of fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) involving Caputo-Fabrizio (C-F) fractional derivatives. We first find out the approximation formula of C-F derivative of function tk. We approximate the C-F derivative in time with the help of the Legendre spectral method and approximation formula o...
