Estimation of Pareto distribution functions from samples contaminated by measurement errors
Kondlo, Lwando Orbet (University of the Western Cape, 2010)The intention is to draw more specific connections between certain deconvolution methods and also to demonstrate the application of the statistical theory of estimation in the presence of measurement error. A parametric ... -
Estimation of Pareto Distribution Functions from Samples Contaminated by Measurement Errors
Kondlo, Lwando Orbet (University of the Western Cape, 2010)Estimation of population distributions, from samples that are contaminated by measurement errors, is a common problem. This study considers the problem of estimating the population distribution of independent random ... -
Fitting extreme value distributions to the Zambezi River flood water levels recorded at Katima Mulilo in Namibia (1965-2003)
Kamwi, Innocent Silibelo (University of the Western Cape, 2005)This study sought to identify and fit the appropriate extreme value distribution to flood data, using the method of maximum likelihood. To examine the uncertainty of the estimated parameters and evaluate the goodness of ... -
Location-based estimation of the autoregressive coefficient in ARX(1) models
Kamanu, Timothy Kevin Kuria (University of the Western Cape, 2006)In recent years, two estimators have been proposed to correct the bias exhibited by the leastsquares (LS) estimator of the lagged dependent variable (LDV) coefficient in dynamic regression models when the sample is finite. ... -
Parametric deconvolution for a common heteroscedastic case
Rutikanga, Justin Ushize (University of the Western Cape, 2016)There exists an extensive statistics literature dealing with non-parametric deconvolution, the estimation of the underlying population probability density when sample values are subject to measurement errors. In parametric ... -
Power studies of multivariate two-sample tests of comparison
Siluyele, Ian John (University of the Western Cape, 2007)The multivariate two-sample tests provide a means to test the match between two multivariate distributions. Although many tests exist in the literature, relatively little is known about the relative power of these procedures. ... -
