A Bayesian Analysis of Plant DNA Length Distribution via κ-Statistics

open access: yes, 2022
We report an analysis of the distribution of lengths of plant DNA (exons). Three species of Cucurbitaceae were investigated. In our study, we used two distinct κ distribution functions, namely, κ-Maxwellian and double-κ, to fit the ...

A Transmuted Survival Kappa Distribution: Properties and Applications [PDF]

open access: yesAssiut University Journal of Multidisciplinary Scientific Research
The author proposes a new four-parameter distribution that aims to provide a more flexible approach to modelling real-life data compared to commonly used lifetime distributions defined.

Modeling climate extremes using the four-parameter kappa distribution for r-largest order statistics

open access: yesWeather and Climate Extremes, 2023
Accurate estimation of the T-year return levels of climate extremes using statistical distribution is a critical step in the projection of future climate and in engineering design for disaster response.

Stochastic dynamics and superstatistics of the many-particle kappa distribution

open access: yes, 2021
The diffusion of particles with kappa distributed velocities is strongly influenced by statistical correlations. We argue that the consistent way to deduce the diffusion laws of any one degree of freedom is to analyze the simultaneous diffusion of ...

Kappa-like distribution functions inside magnetic clouds

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 2008
En este trabajo estamos interesados en el estudio de la temperatura y el perfil de las colas supratermales de los electrones en nubes magnéticas. Para ello hemos modelado las funciones de distribución de velocidades de los electrones como superposición ...

Field-aligned conductance values estimated from Maxwellian and kappa distributions in quiet and disturbed events using Freja electron data [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 1998
We study the question of what difference it makes for the derived field-aligned conductance (K) values if one uses Maxwellian or kappa distributions for the fitting of low-orbiting satellite electron flux spectra in the auroral region.

LQ-moments: parameter estimation for kappa distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Identification of the true statistical distributions for various hydrologic data sets is a major problem facing engineers. The four-parameter kappa distribution is a combination of the established distribution including the Generalised Extreme Value (GEV)

Transport Equation of Kappa Distributions in the Heliosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Abstract In this paper, we develop the transport equation of kappa, the fundamental thermodynamic parameter that labels kappa distributions of particle velocities. Using the recently developed concept of entropy defect, we are able to formulate the transport equation of kappa as a function of a general, positive or negative, rate of ...

A Comparative Study of the Proton Properties of Magnetospheric Substorms at Earth and Mercury in the Near Magnetotail

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
The variations of plasma sheet proton properties during magnetospheric substorms at Earth and Mercury are comparatively studied. This study utilizes kappa distributions to interpret proton properties at both planets.
