On The Extension Of Exponentiated Pareto Distribution, Amal S. Hassan, Saeed Elsayed Hemeda, Said G. Nassr Oct 2021

On The Extension Of Exponentiated Pareto Distribution, Amal S. Hassan, Saeed Elsayed Hemeda, Said G. Nassr

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

In this study, an extended exponentiated Pareto distribution is proposed. Some statistical properties are derived. We consider maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares and Bayesian estimators. A simulation study is implemented for investigating the accuracy of different estimators. An application of the proposed distribution to a real data is presented.


Inverse Problem For A Parabolic System, Reza Pourgholi, Amin Esfahani, Hassan D. Mazraeh Jun 2017

Inverse Problem For A Parabolic System, Reza Pourgholi, Amin Esfahani, Hassan D. Mazraeh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper a numerical approach combining the least squares method and a genetic algorithm is proposed for the determination of the source term in an inverse parabolic system (IPS). A numerical experiment confirm the utility of this algorithm as the results are in good agreement with the exact data. Results show that a reasonable estimation can be obtained by the genetic algorithm within a CPU with clock speed 2.7 GHz.

Solution To The Multicollinearity Problem By Adding Some Constant To The Diagonal, Hanan Duzan, Nurul Sima Binti Mohamaed Shariff

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Ridge regression is an alternative to ordinary least-squares (OLS) regression. It is believed to be superior to least-squares regression in the presence of multicollinearity. The robustness of this method is investigated and comparison is made with the least squares method through simulation studies. Our results show that the system stabilizes in a region of k, where k is a positive quantity less than one and whose values depend on the degree of correlation between the independent variables. The results also illustrate that k is a linear function of the correlation between the independent variables.
