Robust Estimation of the Generalized Pareto Distribution

open access: yesExtremes, 2001
A median estimator is constructed for the parameters \(\gamma\), \(\sigma\) of the generalized Pareto distribution \(F(x)=1-(1+\gamma x/\sigma)^{-1/\gamma}\) by i.i.d. samples. Asymptotic normality of the estimator is demonstrated and the limit covariance matrix is evaluated.

On the average uncertainty for systems with nonlinear coupling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The increased uncertainty and complexity of nonlinear systems have motivated investigators to consider generalized approaches to defining an entropy function.

Dynamic multi‐objective optimisation of complex networks based on evolutionary computation

open access: yesIET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract As the problems concerning the number of information to be optimised is increasing, the optimisation level is getting higher, the target information is more diversified, and the algorithms are becoming more complex; the traditional algorithms such as particle swarm and differential evolution are far from being able to deal with this situation ...

A New Heavy Tailed Class of Distributions Which Includes the Pareto

open access: yesRisks, 2019
In this paper, a new heavy-tailed distribution, the mixture Pareto-loggamma distribution, derived through an exponential transformation of the generalized Lindley distribution is introduced.

Scattering statistics of rock outcrops: Model-data comparisons and Bayesian inference using mixture distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The probability density function of the acoustic field amplitude scattered by the seafloor was measured in a rocky environment off the coast of Norway using a synthetic aperture sonar system, and is reported here in terms of the probability of false ...

Study on the return period of extreme precipitation in Liaoning Province based on the Compound Extreme Value Model

open access: yes暴雨灾害, 2022
The study on the return period of extreme precipitation can improve the understanding of precipitation regularity, which is of great significance for preventing urban waterlogging, farmland waterlogging.

Generalized Pareto Copulas: A Key to Multivariate Extremes

open access: yes, 2018
This paper reviews generalized Pareto copulas (GPC), which turn out to be a key to multivariate extreme value theory. Any GPC can be represented in an easy analytic way using a particular type of norm on $\mathbb{R}^d$, called $D$-norm.
