Measuring the dispersion of rainfall using Bayesian confidence intervals for coefficient of variation of delta-lognormal distribution: a study from Thailand [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Since rainfall data series often contain zero values and thus follow a delta-lognormal distribution, the coefficient of variation is often used to illustrate the dispersion of rainfall in a number of areas and so is an important tool in statistical ...

Confidence intervals for ratio of means of delta-lognormal distributions based on left-censored data with application to rainfall data in Thailand [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Thailand is a country that is prone to both floods and droughts, and these natural disasters have significant impacts on the country’s people, economy, and environment. Estimating rainfall is an important part of flood and drought prevention.

Updated fiducial distribution of parameters in the associated delta-lognormal population [PDF]
PLoS ONEIn this paper we consider a special kind of semicontinous distribution. We try to concern with the situation where the probability of zero observation is associated with the location and scale parameters in lognormal distribution. We first propose a goodness-of-fit test to ensure that the data can be fit by the associated delta-lognormal distribution ...

Estimation of common percentile of rainfall datasets in Thailand using delta-lognormal distributions [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Weighted percentiles in many areas can be used to investigate the overall trend in a particular context. In this article, the confidence intervals for the common percentile are constructed to estimate rainfall in Thailand. The confidence interval for the

Bayesian computation for the common coefficient of variation of delta-lognormal distributions with application to common rainfall dispersion in Thailand [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Rainfall fluctuation makes precipitation and flood prediction difficult. The coefficient of variation can be used to measure rainfall dispersion to produce information for predicting future rainfall, thereby mitigating future disasters.

Simultaneous confidence intervals for all pairwise differences between the coefficients of variation of rainfall series in Thailand [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The delta-lognormal distribution is a combination of binomial and lognormal distributions, and so rainfall series that include zero and positive values conform to this distribution. The coefficient of variation is a good tool for measuring the dispersion

The Bayesian confidence intervals for measuring the difference between dispersions of rainfall in Thailand [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 The coefficient of variation is often used to illustrate the variability of precipitation. Moreover, the difference of two independent coefficients of variation can describe the dissimilarity of rainfall from two areas or times.

A Bayesian approach to construct confidence intervals for comparing the rainfall dispersion in Thailand [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Natural disasters such as drought and flooding are the consequence of severe rainfall fluctuation, and rainfall amount data often contain both zero and positive observations, thus making them fit a delta-lognormal distribution.
