Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUnivariate Generalized Additive Models for Simulated Stationary and Non-Stationary Generalized Pareto DistributionMostafa Behzadi, Mohd Bakri Adam, Anwar FitriantoGeneralized additive models as a predictor in regression approaches, are made up over cubic spline basis and penalized regression splines. Despite of linear predictor in GLM, generalized additive models use a sum of smooth functions of covariates as a predictor. The data which are used in this study have generalized Pareto distribution and have been simulated by inversion method. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 7,430 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModelling the Error Term of Australia Gross Domestic ProductAyodele Abraham Agboluaje, Suzilah Ismail, Chee Yin YipThe main aim of this study is to model the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with the new Combine White Noise (CWN) Model and compare the results with the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Model and Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (EGARCH) Model which are the existing models. The CWN model estimation yields best results with least information criteria and high log likelihood … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2016 · 6,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBurr-X Model Estimate using Bayesian and non-Bayesian ApproachesAbdullah Y. Al-HossainThe present paper is aimed at developing Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood estimations (ML) of the Burr type-X model of distribution when data are gathered from Type-II cumulative censoring with binomial eliminations. The procedures for getting the (ML) evaluations of the parameters are examined. The Bayes technique to get both point and interval estimators of the parameters are illustrated.
