Bayesian estimation under different loss functions for the case of inverse Rayleigh distribution

Kuwait Journal of Science
In this study, the best parameter estimator for the scale parameter (θ) of the inverse Rayleigh distribution was determined based on a comparison of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) method, the Bayesian generalized squared error loss function (SELF)

Analyzing individual rent price ratios in eastern German agricultural land markets: A GAMLSS approach

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the rent price ratio in agricultural land markets, crucial for evaluating market efficiency, policy needs, and farmer decision‐making. Traditionally, the analyses faced challenges due to the absence of concurrent sale and rent data for the same land, potentially leading to biased results.

An Improved GPS-Inferred Seasonal Terrestrial Water Storage Using Terrain-Corrected Vertical Crustal Displacements Constrained by GRACE

Remote Sensing, 2019
Based on a geophysical model for elastic loading, the application potential of Global Positioning System (GPS) vertical crustal displacements for inverting terrestrial water storage has been demonstrated using the Tikhonov regularization and the Helmert ...
