几种模拟逐日降水的分布函数比较分析

在模拟逐日降水方面,将马尔科夫链和某种分布函数相结合建立随机模型的方法在国外很多地区被证明是有效的,但该方法在我国的适用性研究并不多见.本文应用哈尔滨48年的实测降水资料,基于一阶马尔科夫两状态转移概率,分别采用皮尔逊Ⅲ型分布、伽玛分布和偏正态分布函数模拟了哈尔滨的1000年逐日降水过程.对比分析结果表明,伽玛分布更适合模拟哈尔滨的逐日降水过程,基于伽玛分布函数模拟的月份降水量和降水天数与实测降水数据符合较好.

Towards a unification of certain characterizations by conditional expectations

The paper presents a characterization of a general family of distributions by the form of the expectation of an appropriately truncated function of the random variable involved. The obtained result unifies results existing in the literature for specific distributions as well as new results that appear for the first time in this paper. A discrete version is also provided unifying existing characterizations of known discrete distributions.     

On generalized binomial and multinomial distributions and their relation to generalized Poisson distributions

Summary The binomial and multinomial distributions are, probably, the best known distributions because of their vast number of applications. The present paper examines some generalizations of these distributions with many practical applications. Properties of these generalizations are studied and models giving rise to them are developed. Finally, their relationship to generalized Poisson distributions is examined and limiting cases are given.     

On Moments of Folded and Truncated Multivariate Normal Distributions

Recurrence relations for integrals that involve the density of multivariate normal distributions are developed. These recursions allow fast computation of the moments of folded and truncated multivariate normal distributions. Besides being numerically efficient, the proposed recursions also allow us to obtain explicit expressions of low-order moments of folded and truncated multivariate normal distributions. Supplementary material for this article is available online.     

New examples of heavy-tailed O-subexponential distributions and related closure properties

Let L and S denote the classes of distributions with long tails and subexponential tails respectively. Let OS denote the class of distributions with O-subexponential tails, which means the distributions with the tails having the same order as the tails of their 2-fold convolutions. In this paper, we first construct a family of distributions without finite means in L∩OS?S. Next some distributions in L∩OS?S, which possess finite means or even finite higher moments, are also constructed. In connection with this, we prove that the class OS is closed under minimization of random variables. However, it is not closed under maximization of random variables.     

Coxian representations of generalized Erlang distributions

This paper studies Coxian representations of generalized Erlang distributions. A nonlinear program is derived for computing the parameters of minimal Coxian representations of generalized Erlang distributions. The nonlinear program is also used to characterize the triangular order and the admissible region of generalized Erlang distributions. It is shown that the admissible region associated with a triangular order may not be convex. For generalized Erlang distributions of ME-order 3, a minimal Coxian representation is found explicitly. In addition, an algorithm is developed for computing a special type of ordered Coxian representations - the bivariate Coxian representation - for generalized Erlang distributions.

Simple and efficient algorithms for computing exact cumulative discrete probabilities and its inverses

Summary  This paper deals with the computation of exact cumulative probabilities of discrete distributions and its inverses. For the computation of cumulative probabilities an efficient and universal algorithm of 15 lines is presented, which can be applied to the most important discrete distributions (e.g. the binomial, the poisson and the hypergeometric distribution). With a slight modification an algorithm of 20 lines is obtained for the calculation of the respective inverse distributions. The accuracy of both algorithms can be specified. Both algorithms are simple, very fast and numerically stable even if the sample size is one billion.

The Möbius distribution on the disc

A simple new family of distributions is proposed which has support the unit disc in two dimensions. The density functions of the family are unimodal, monotonic or uniantimodal. The bivariate symmetric beta distributions, which include the uniform distribution, are special cases, but many members of the family are skew. The distributions have three parameters, one controlling orientation, one controlling degree of concentration and the third controlling skewness, or more precisely off-centredness. Importantly, these parameters are globally orthogonal. An illustrative example of fitting the model to data is given. Conditional and marginal distributions are considered. The new distributions are compared favourably with an earlier suggestion of the same author.
