(R2027) A New Class Of Pareto Distribution: Estimation And Its Applications, Anitta Susan Aniyan, Dais George Jun 2023

(R2027) A New Class Of Pareto Distribution: Estimation And Its Applications, Anitta Susan Aniyan, Dais George

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The classical Pareto distribution is a positively skewed and right heavy-tailed lifetime distribution having a lot many applications in various fields of science and social science. In this work, via logarithmic trans-formed method, a new three parameter lifetime distribution, an extension of classical Pareto distribution is generated. The different structural properties of the new distribution are studied. The model parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and Bayesian procedure. When all the three parameters of the distribution are unknown, the Bayes estimators cannot be obtained in a closed form and hence, the Lindley’s approximation under squared error loss …

(R2025) Improving The Lda Linear Discriminant Analysis Method By Eliminating Redundant Variables For The Diagnosis Of Covid-19 Patients, Kianoush Fathi Vajargah, Hamid Mottaghi Golshan, Fazel Badakhshan Farahabadi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Nowadays, with the increase in data production speed, the process of data analysis has faced many problems because this big data is often accompanied by plug-in data and redundant data. Therefore, the use of dimensional methods in the pre-data analysis stage is necessary. In data mining, dimensional reduction is one of the most important steps in data pre-processing. Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are often used to reduce dimensions in data mining. The LDA method is a monitored and controlled method but the PCA is not controlled method. When the number of samples in classes is …

(R2024) A New Weighted Poisson Distribution For Over- And Under-Dispersion Situations, Michel Koukouatikissa Diafouka, Gelin Chedly Louzayadio, Rodnellin Onéime Malouata Dec 2022

(R2024) A New Weighted Poisson Distribution For Over- And Under-Dispersion Situations, Michel Koukouatikissa Diafouka, Gelin Chedly Louzayadio, Rodnellin Onéime Malouata

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we propose a four-parameter weighted Poisson distribution that includes and generalizes the weighted Poisson distribution proposed by Castillo and Pérez-Casany and the Conway- Maxwell-Poisson distribution, as well as other well-known distributions. It is a distribution that is a member of the exponential family and is an exponential combination formulation between the weighted Poisson distribution proposed by Castillo and Pérez-Casany and the Conway-Maxwell- Poisson distribution. This new distribution with an additional parameter of dispersion is more flexible, and the Fisher dispersion index can be greater than, equal to, or less than one. This last property allows it to …

(R1510) A Special Case Of Rodriguez-Lallena And Ubeda-Flores Copula Based On Ruschendorf Method, Marvin G. Pizon, Rolando N. Paluga Jun 2022

(R1510) A Special Case Of Rodriguez-Lallena And Ubeda-Flores Copula Based On Ruschendorf Method, Marvin G. Pizon, Rolando N. Paluga

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Measure of dependence is a particular way of looking at the association between random variables, and one way to capture stochastic dependence is through the use of copula. In this study, a Rushendorf Method was applied to a bivariate function to obtain a copula through the use of a special case of Rodriguez-Lallena and Ubeda-Flores (RLUF) copula. Properties of the RLUF copula such as the density, measures of dependence, and lower and upper tail dependence were studied. In particular, measures of dependence such as Spearman’s rho, Kendall’s tau and Blomqvist’s beta of RLUF copula are given. Moreover, the Root-Mean-Square Error …

(R1503) Numerical Ultimate Survival Probabilities In An Insurance Portfolio Compounded By Risky Investments, Juma Kasozi Jun 2022

(R1503) Numerical Ultimate Survival Probabilities In An Insurance Portfolio Compounded By Risky Investments, Juma Kasozi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Probability of ultimate survival is one of the central problems in insurance because it is a management tool that may be used to check on the solvency levels of the insurer. In this article, we numerically compute this probability for an insurer whose portfolio is compounded by investments arising from a risky asset. The uncertainty in the celebrated Cramér-Lundberg model is provided by a standard Brownian motion that is independent of the standard Brownian motion in the model for the risky asset. We apply an order four Block-by-block method in conjunction with the Simpson rule to solve the resulting Volterra …

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the nonparametric estimation of the conditional density of a scalar response variable Y, given the explanatory variable X taking value in a Hilbert space when the sample of observations is considered as an independent random variables with identical distribution (i.i.d.) and are linked with a single functional index structure. First of all, a kernel type estimator for the conditional density function (cond-df) is introduced. Afterwards, the asymptotic properties are stated for a conditional density estimator when the observations are linked with a single-index structure from which we derive an central …

Weighted Geometric Mean And Its Properties, Ievgen Turchyn Jun 2021

Weighted Geometric Mean And Its Properties, Ievgen Turchyn

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Various means (the arithmetic mean, the geometric mean, the harmonic mean, the power means) are often used as central tendency statistics. A new statistic of such type is offered for a sample from a distribution on the positive semi-axis, the γ-weighted geometric mean. This statistic is a certain weighted geometric mean with adaptive weights. Monte Carlo simulations showed that the γ-weighted geometric mean possesses low variance: smaller than the variance of the 0.20-trimmed mean for the Lomax distribution. The bias of the new statistic was also studied. We studied the bias in terms of nonparametric confidence intervals for the quantiles …

Some Asymptotic Properties Of Conditional Density Function For Functional Data Under Random Censorship, Fatima Akkal, Abbes Rabhi, Latifa Keddani

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this work, we investigate the asymptotic properties of a nonparametric mode of a conditional density when the real response variable is censored and the explanatory variable is valued in a semi- metric space under ergodic data. First of all, we establish asymptotic properties for a conditional density estimator from which we derive an central limit theorem (CLT) of the conditional mode estimator. Simulation study is also presented to illustrate the validity and finite sample performance of the considered estimator.

Nonparametric Estimation Of The Conditional Distribution Function For Surrogate Data By The Regression Model, Imane Metmous, Mohammed K. Attouch, Boubaker Mechab, Torkia Merouan

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The main objective of this paper is to estimate the conditional cumulative distribution using the nonparametric kernel method for a surrogated scalar response variable given a functional random one. We introduce the new kernel type estimator for the conditional cumulative distribution function (cond-cdf) of this kind of data. Afterward, we estimate the quantile by inverting this estimated cond-cdf and state the asymptotic properties. The uniform almost complete convergence (with rate) of the kernel estimate of this model and the quantile estimator is established. Finally, a simulation study completed to show how our methodology can be adopted.

Analysis Of Means (Anom) Concepts And Computations, Kalanka P. Jayalath, Jacob Turner Jun 2021

Analysis Of Means (Anom) Concepts And Computations, Kalanka P. Jayalath, Jacob Turner

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The classical Analysis of Means (ANOM) is a statistical inferencing procedure and visualization tool to analyze means from experiments with fixed effects. It can serve as an alternative to the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) procedure that has distinct advantages when determining which effects contributed to an overall test’s significant result. ANOM has been extended to handle numerous situations including robust procedures involving ranks. More recent advancements of this procedure allow one to handle both random, and mixed effect models. In this work, we discuss the recent developments on ANOM methods that are useful in practice, provide examples that illustrate their …

Nonparametric Relative Error Estimation Via Functional Regressor By The K Nearest Neighbors Smoothing Under Truncation Random Data, Wahiba Bouabsa Jun 2021

Nonparametric Relative Error Estimation Via Functional Regressor By The K Nearest Neighbors Smoothing Under Truncation Random Data, Wahiba Bouabsa

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The relation between a functional random covariate and a scalar answer due to left truncation by a different random variable is evaluated in this study with the kNN method. In particular, in order to produce a nonparametric kNN regression operator of these functional truncated data as a loss function, we should use mean squared relative error. In number of neighbors, we establish an estimator and assess the uniform consistency performance with the convergence rate. Then, for different levels of computational truncated data, a simulation analysis was carried out on finite-sized samples to show the feasibility of our estimation procedure and …

Theoretical Study Of Mach Number And Compressibility Effect On The Slender Airfoils, Abrar Hoque, Masudar Rahman, Ashabul Hoque Jun 2021

Theoretical Study Of Mach Number And Compressibility Effect On The Slender Airfoils, Abrar Hoque, Masudar Rahman, Ashabul Hoque

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Theoretical development of the velocity potential equation for compressible flow and its various consequences has been presented. The geometrical interpretation of potential equation and conformal mapping technique are discussed where the mappings link the flow around a circular cylinder of a slender airfoil. The lift and drag coefficients are determined for the slender airfoils based on the Mach number and compressibility effects. The calculated lift coefficients show that with the increasing of attack angle it increases linearly and a higher lift coefficient is found for a smaller Mach number for any certain attack angle. Similarly, the drag profiles are determined …

Dividend Maximization Under A Set Ruin Probability Target In The Presence Of Proportional And Excess-Of-Loss Reinsurance, Christian Kasumo, Juma Kasozi, Dmitry Kuznetsov Jun 2020

Dividend Maximization Under A Set Ruin Probability Target In The Presence Of Proportional And Excess-Of-Loss Reinsurance, Christian Kasumo, Juma Kasozi, Dmitry Kuznetsov

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We study dividend maximization with set ruin probability targets for an insurance company whose surplus is modelled by a diffusion perturbed classical risk process. The company is permitted to enter into proportional or excess-of-loss reinsurance arrangements. By applying stochastic control theory, we derive Volterra integral equations and solve numerically using block-by-block methods. In each of the models, we have established the optimal barrier to use for paying dividends provided the ruin probability does not exceed a predetermined target. Numerical examples involving the use of both light- and heavy-tailed distributions are given. The results show that ruin probability targets result in …

A Comparison Of Several Algorithms And Models For Analyzing Multivariate Normal Data With Missing Responses, Mojtaba Ganjali, H. Ranji Jun 2008

A Comparison Of Several Algorithms And Models For Analyzing Multivariate Normal Data With Missing Responses, Mojtaba Ganjali, H. Ranji

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper we compare some modern algorithms i.e. Direct Maximization of the Likelihood (DML), the EM algorithm, and Multiple Imputation (MI) for analyzing multivariate normal data with missing responses. We also compare two approaches for modeling incomplete data (1) ignoring missing data and (2) joint modeling of response and non-response mechanisms. Several types of Software which can be used to implement the above algorithms are also mentioned. We used these algorithms for a simulation study and to analyze a data set where outliers affect the parameter estimates and final conclusion. As the variance of the estimates cannot be obtained …
