Tests of fit for the logarithmic distribution [PDF]
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 ...

Linear Bounds on the Empirical Distribution Function
Let $\Gamma_n$ denote the empirical df of a sample from the uniform (0, 1) df $I$. Let $\xi_{nk}$ denote the $k$th smallest observation. Let $\lambda_n > 1$. Let $A_n$ denote the event that $\Gamma_n$ intersects the line $\lambda_n I$ on [0, 1] and let $B_n$ denote the event that $\Gamma_n$ intersects the line $I/\lambda_n$ on $\lbrack\xi_{n1}, 1 ...

Detection of changes in flow regime of rivers in Poland
The aim of this study is to detect changes in flow regime of rivers in Poland. On the basis of daily discharges recorded in 1951-2010 at 159 gauging stations located on 94 rivers regularities in the variability of the river flow characteristics in the ...

Stochastic Aspects of Proportional Vitalities Model
In this paper, a family of models requiring proportional mean life vitalities is considered. The problem of estimation of the parameter(s) of the model is studied in two cases of known and unknown baselines along with some simulation studies to detect ...

Introducing empirical and probabilistic regional envelope curves into a mixed bounded distribution function [PDF]
A novel approach to consider additional spatial information in flood frequency analyses, especially for the estimation of discharges with recurrence intervals larger than 100 years, is presented. For this purpose, large flood quantiles, i.e.

Asymptotically distribution-free goodness-of-fit testing for tail copulas [PDF]
Let $(X_1,Y_1),\ldots,(X_n,Y_n)$ be an i.i.d. sample from a bivariate distribution function that lies in the max-domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution.

Mean relative entropy has a wide range of applications in measuring information differences. However, relative entropy is difficult to approximate from empirical distribution entropy.

Demixing empirical distribution functions
We consider the two-sample homogeneity problem where the information contained in two samples is used to test the equality of the underlying distributions. For instance, in cases where one sample stems from a simulation procedure modelling the data generating process of the other sample consisting of observed data, a mere rejection of the null ...

Empirical Bayes Estimation of a Distribution Function
A sequence of empirical Bayes estimators is defined for estimating a distribution function. The sequence is shown to be asymptotically optimal relative to a Ferguson Dirichlet process prior. Exact risk expressions are derived and the rate, at which the overall expected loss approaches the minimum Bayes risk, is exhibited.

Optimization of Rain Gauge Networks for Arid Regions Based on Remote Sensing Data
Water depletion is a growing problem in the world’s arid and semi-arid areas, where groundwater is the primary source of fresh water. Accurate climatic data must be obtained to protect municipal water budgets.
