Reducing bias of the maximum likelihood estimator of shape parameter for the gamma Distribution

The gamma distribution is an important probability distribution in statistics. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of its shape parameter is well known to be considerably biased, so that it has some modified versions. A new modified MLE of the shape for the gamma distribution is proposed in this paper, which is consistent, asymptotically normal and efficient. For finite-sample behavior, the new estimator improves the traditional MLE not only for reducing bias but also for gaining estimation efficiency significantly. In terms of estimation efficiency, it dominates other existing modified estimators.     

roperties and Applications of Alpha Power Gamma Distribution

In this paper, the gamma distribution has been extended by adding an extra shape parameter, we refer to the new distribution as alpha power gamma distribution. It is found that the distribution has a relatively flexible hazard rate function. The properties of the new distribution are studied, including explicit expressions for the $s^{\text{th}}$ raw moments, moment generating function and distributions of order statistics are derived. Also, the integral expressions for the entropy, mean residual life and mean waiting time are obtained. The maximum likelihood estimators of the distribution parameters under complete sample are discussed, the Fisher information matrix is derived. Then, the estimation of the parameters under the general progressive type-II censoring is studied. Finally, the real data set is used to illustrate the practicality of the proposed distribution.

A lifetime model with increasing failure rate

This paper deals with a new two-parameter lifetime distribution with increasing failure rate. This distribution is constructed as a distribution of a random sum of independent exponential random variables when the sample size has a zero truncated binomial distribution. Various statistical properties of the distribution are derived. We estimate the parameters by maximum likelihood and obtain the Fisher information matrix. Simulation studies show the performance of the estimators. Also, estimation of the parameters is considered in the presence of censoring. A real data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes and it is noted that the distribution is a good competitor to the gamma, Weibull, exponentiated exponential, weighted exponential and Poisson-exponential distributions for this data set.     

Classical and Bayesian inference in two parameter exponential distribution with randomly censored data

This paper deal with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not yet been studied with random censoring in literature. Fitting and using exponential distribution on the range \((0, \infty )\), specially when the minimum observation in the data set is significantly large, will give estimates far from accurate. First we obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the unknown parameters with their variances and asymptotic confidence intervals. Some other classical methods of estimation such as method of moment, L-moments and least squares are also employed. Next, we discuss the Bayesian estimation of the unknown parameters using Gibbs sampling procedures under generalized entropy loss function with inverted gamma priors and Highest Posterior Density credible intervals. We also consider some reliability and experimental characteristics and their estimates. A Monte Carlo simulation study is performed to compare the proposed estimates. Two real data examples are given to illustrate the importance of the location parameter.

Data analysis for accelerated life tests via Weibull-gamma frailty regression models

In this article, we study data analysis methods for accelerated life test (ALT) with blocking. Unlike the previous assumption of normal distribution for random block effects, we advocate the use of Weibull regression model with gamma random effects for making statistical inference of ALT data. To estimate the unknown parameters in the proposed model, maximum likelihood estimation and Bayesian estimation methods are provided. We illustrate the proposed methods using real data examples and simulation examples. Numerical results suggest that distribution of random effects has minimal impact on the estimation of fixed effects in the Weibull regression models. Furthermore, to demonstrate the advantage of our proposed model, we also provide methods to compare ALT plans and thus identify the optimal ALT plans.

Fitting the three-parameter Weibull distribution with Cross Entropy

The Weibull distribution is widely used in applications such as reliability and lifetime studies. Although this distribution has three parameters, for simplicity, literature pertaining to Weibull parameter estimation relaxes one of its parameters in order to estimate the other two. When the three-parameter Weibull distribution is of interest, the estimation procedure is complicated. For example, the likelihood function for a three-parameter Weibull distribution is hard to maximize. In this paper, a Cross Entropy (CE) method is developed in the context of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of a three-parameter Weibull distribution. Performing a simulation study, a comparative analysis between the newly developed method and two existing methods is conducted. The results show the proposed method has better performance in terms of accuracy, precision and run time for different parameter settings and sample sizes.     

正态分布和瑞利分布混合情形下的参数估计及分类问题

学者往往用单一的分布模拟和拟合杂波,如正态分布、瑞利分布和威布尔分布等。然而在实际中,雷达杂波由多种类型的杂波组成,单一分布通常不能精确刻画雷达杂波规律,因此,应用混合分布模型对雷达杂波数据建模更准确。本文考虑用正态分布和瑞利分布的混合分布拟合杂波,并应用矩估计方法和基于EM算法的极大似然估计方法估计模型参数,最后,应用最大后验概率分类准则验证2种估计方法的分类准确率。通过数据模拟,得出极大似然估计的效果和分类准确率都要优于矩估计的估计效果和分类准确率。

Bayesian estimation of generalized gamma shared frailty model

Multivariate survival analysis comprises of event times that are generally grouped together in clusters. Observations in each of these clusters relate to data belonging to the same individual or individuals with a common factor. Frailty models can be used when there is unaccounted association between survival times of a cluster. The frailty variable describes the heterogeneity in the data caused by unknown covariates or randomness in the data. In this article, we use the generalized gamma distribution to describe the frailty variable and discuss the Bayesian method of estimation for the parameters of the model. The baseline hazard function is assumed to follow the two parameter Weibull distribution. Data is simulated from the given model and the Metropolis–Hastings MCMC algorithm is used to obtain parameter estimates. It is shown that increasing the size of the dataset improves estimates. It is also shown that high heterogeneity within clusters does not affect the estimates of treatment effects significantly. The model is also applied to a real life dataset.

Prediction of the Maximum Size in Wicksell's Corpuscle Problem, II

This is a continuing paper of the authors (1998, Ann. Inst. Statist. Math., 50, 361–377). In the Wicksell corpuscle problem, the maximum size of random spheres in a volume part is to be predicted from the sectional circular distribution of spheres cut by a plane. The size of the spheres is assumed to follow the three-parameter generalized gamma distribution. Prediction methods based on the moment estimation are proposed and their performances are evaluated by simulation. For a practically probable case, one of these prediction methods is as good as a method previously proposed by the authors where the two shape parameters are assumed to be known.     

The exponentiated generalized inverse Gaussian distribution

The modeling and analysis of lifetime data is an important aspect of statistical work in a wide variety of scientific and technological fields. Good (1953) introduced a probability distribution which is commonly used in the analysis of lifetime data. For the first time, based on this distribution, we propose the so-called exponentiated generalized inverse Gaussian distribution, which extends the exponentiated standard gamma distribution (Nadarajah and Kotz, 2006). Various structural properties of the new distribution are derived, including expansions for its moments, moment generating function, moments of the order statistics, and so forth. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters. The usefulness of the new model is illustrated by means of a real data set.     

商业银行操作风险的度量——基于非参数方法

在损失分布方法的基础上,本文基于非参数方法对商业银行操作风险的度量进行了研究。非参数方法对损失额的分布不作过多的设定,避免了由于分布误设可能出现的偏差。古典的核密度估计对损失额拟合的效果不太好,特别是尾部的拟合效果更差。变换后的核密度估计的拟合效果比古典的核密度估计改善很多.基于变换后的核密度估计对商业银行操作风险损失度量可以得到不同置信水平的VaR与ES,并且不同置信水平的差距比较大。基于非参数与基于参数方法得到的各个置信水平的VaR与ES有一定差距。

Mixtures of Gamma Distributions With Applications

This article proposes a Bayesian density estimation method based upon mixtures of gamma distributions. It considers both the cases of known mixture size, using a Gibbs sampling scheme with a Metropolis step, and unknown mixture size, using a reversible jump technique that allows us to move from one mixture size to another. We illustrate our methods using a number of simulated datasets, generated from distributions covering a wide range of cases: single distributions, mixtures of distributions with equal means and different variances, mixtures of distributions with different means and small variances and, finally, a distribution contaminated by low-weighted distributions with different means and equal, small variances. An application to estimation of some quantities for a M/G/1 queue is given, using real E-mail data from CNR-IAMI.
