Length biased Inverse Gaussian Hazard Rate Estimation A Predictive Density Approach

2006-01-01
Akman, Olcay
Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe
We obtain a maximum likelihood predictive density estimate of an inverse Gaussian hazard rate under a length-biased sampling process. The efficiency of the estimate is examined and compared with that of the maximum likelihood estimate of the hazard rate. Kullback-Leibler similarity measures between the true density and its estimate under MLPD and MLE are calculated.

Shape Optimizations of Metallic Sheets for Improved Near-Zone Scattering, Reflection, and Focusing Characteristics
Altinoklu, Askin; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-10-12)
We consider full-wave analysis and optimizations of metallic sheets to obtain desired electromagnetic responses in the near-zone field intensity and power density distributions. Given a metallic sheet of finite size, deformations are applied to achieve diverse scattering and reflection characteristics, particularly focusing and collecting electromagnetic power at different locations. Optimizations are performed by employing genetic algorithms in a multigrid scheme on the discretized geometry, while each tri...
Analytical precision limits in slitless spectroscopy
Öktem, Sevinç Figen (2012-08-05)
We consider the problem of estimating emission line parameters from the measurements of a multi-order slitless spectrometer. This problem can be viewed as a multi-frame deblurring problem with shift variant Gaussian blur. By using Cramer-Rao lower bound theory, we derive analytical precision limits to this parameter estimation when the measurements are corrupted with Gaussian noise. The derivation involves an approximation to the Fisher information matrix in order to obtain closed-form expressions. An impor...
Frequency estimation of a single real-valued sinusoid: An invariant function approach
Candan, Çağatay; Çelebi, Utku (2021-08-01)
An invariant function approach for the computationally efficient (non-iterative and gridless) maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of unknown parameters is applied on the real-valued sinusoid frequency estimation problem. The main attraction point of the approach is its potential to yield a ML-like performance at a significantly reduced computational load with respect to conventional ML estimator that requires repeated evaluation of an objective function or numerical search routines. The numerical results ind...
Shape similarity measurement for boundary based features
Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2005-01-01)
In this study, we propose two algorithms for measuring the distance between shape boundaries. In the algorithms, shape boundary is represented by the Beam Angle Statistics (BAS), which maps 2-D shape information into a set of 1-D functions. Firstly, we adopt Dynamic Time Warping method to develop an efficient distance calculation scheme, which is consistent with the human visual system in perceiving shape similarity. Since the starting point of the representations may differ in shapes, the best corresponden...
Spectral correction-based method for interharmonics analysis of power signals with fundamental frequency deviation
Salor, Oezguel (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-01)
In this paper, a spectral correction-based algorithm for interharmonic computation is proposed for especially highly fluctuating fundamental frequency cases in the power system. It has been observed and reported that fluctuating demands of some loads such as arc furnaces, or disturbances and subsequent system transients make the fundamental frequency of the power system deviate and this causes non-existing interharmonics to appear in the spectrum due to grid-effect when a standard window length is used for ...
