Fitting Heavy Tailed Distributions: The poweRlaw Package

Journal of Statistical Software, 2015
Over the last few years, the power law distribution has been used as the data generating mechanism in many disparate fields. However, at times the techniques used to fit the power law distribution have been inappropriate.

Fitting of Rainfall Data in Erbil City Using Statistical Distribution Techniques

Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2023
Rainfall Statistical distribution fitting is essential for the design of water management and water related infrastructure. Future prediction of rainfall events can be made such as floods and drought for a given area of study if the statistical ...

Fitting Matrix Geometric Distributions by Model Reduction [PDF]

Stochastic Models, 2015
A novel algorithmic method is proposed to fit matrix geometric distributions of desired order to empirical data or arbitrary discrete distributions. The proposed method effectively combines two existing approaches from two different disciplines: well-established model reduction methods used in system theory and moment matching methods of applied ...

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Osteosarcoma: Local Control Outcomes With Dosimetric Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.

On Estimation of α-Stable Distribution Using L-Moments

Fractal and Fractional
The family of stable distributions and, in particular, the α-stable distribution increases its applicability in engineering sciences. Examination of industrial data shows that originally assumed Gaussian properties are not so often observed.

Fits of Monte Carlo distributions to data [PDF]

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1993
This paper is devoted to likelihood fits to binned data in which the contents of the bins are simple counts of independent events. It addresses the case where the distribution to be fitted is the sum of distributions of events due to different physical processes, and the prediction of each one of these processes is given by a distribution of events ...

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Tests of Fit for the Logarithmic Distribution [PDF]

Journal of Applied Mathematics and Decision Sciences, 2008
Smooth tests for the logarithmic distribution are compared with three tests: the first is a test due to Epps and is based on a probability generating function, the second is the Anderson-Darling test, and the third is due to Klar and is based on the empirical integrated distribution function.

Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.
