Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPPROXIMATION OF ESTIMATES IN THE SUSCEPTIBLE-INFECTIOUS-REMOVED EPIDEMIC MODELChanghyuck OhIn this note, a simple approximation for the maximum likelihood estimates of infection and removal parameters used in the Susceptible-Infectious-Removed (SIR) epidemic model is presented. This approximation can be applied when the numbers of susceptible and infected individuals are observable only at discrete points in time. Since, in such cases, a closed form of the likelihood function is generally too … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 6,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATION OF WEIBULL PARAMETERS USING A RANDOMIZED NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE SEVERITY OF FIRE ACCIDENTSSoontorn Boonta, Anchalee Sattayatham, Pairote SattayathamIn this study, we applied Randomized Neighborhood Search (RNS) to estimate the Weibull parameters to determine the severity of fire accidents; the data were provided by the Thai Reinsurance Public Co., Ltd. We compared this technique with other frequently-used techniques: the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), the Method of Moments (MOM), the Least Squares Method (LSM) and the weighted least squares … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of Parameter Estimation on Hazard Rate of Trivariate Weibull DistributionIrfan Wahyudi, Purhadi, Irhamah, SutiknoIn this study, the interrelation concepts of trivariate distribution function, trivariate survival function, trivariate probability density function and trivariate hazard rate function of trivariate Weibull distribution are presented. The goal of this contribution is to estimate the trivariate Weibull hazard rate parameters. To reach this goal, we will use an analitical approach in estimating called the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 11 Aug 2012 · 8,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntervened 2-Tier Poisson Distribution for Understanding Hospital Site InfectivityR. ShanmugamProblem statement: Whether it is a surgical site or medical treatment at a hospital site, the nurses in particular and the entire medical team including surgeons/physicians in general undergo a risk of being infected ironically by the patients whom they intend to disinfect. There are 2-tiers of patients at the site. One type consists of patients who are internally and … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2012 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSymbol Timing Estimation in Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing based Ultrawide band SystemM. N. Suresh, S. J. Thiruvengadam, V. AbhaikumarProblem statement: The Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) Based Ultra Wideband system (UWB) is highly susceptible to symbol timing error. Symbol timing estimation in MB-OFDM based UWB is difficult due to the presence of strongest path at delayed instant. Approach: Symbol timing estimation has two steps namely a coarse estimation and a fine estimation. In this study, a maximum … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Feb 2012 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of the Bayesian and Other Methods for Estimation of Reliability Function for Burr-XII DistributionSafaa Ali Nasir, Nashaat Jaisam Al-AnberProblem statement: The Burr-XII distribution has been widely used especially in the modeling of life time event data. It provides a statistical model which has a wide variety of application in many areas and the main advantage is its ability in the context of life time event among other distributions. The conventional maximum likelihood method is the usual way to … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2011 · 7,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Interregional Commodity FlowsWirach Hirun, Sompong SirisoponsilpProblem statement: Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) was launched to collect comprehensive freight flow data throughout the kingdom of Thailand. The survey’s database is the most complete collection of commodity flow data in Thailand. The need to reveal interregional freight characteristics using available data from the CFS led to the objectives of this research. Approach: An origin destination matrix based on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpline Estimator in Multi-Response Nonparametric Regression Model with Unequal Correlation of ErrorsBudi Lestari, I. Nyoman Budiantara, Sony Sunaryo, Muhammad MashuriProblem statement: In many applications two or more dependent variables are observed at several values of the independent variables, such as at time points. The statistical problems are to estimate functions that model their dependences on the independent variables and to investigate relationships between these functions. Nonparametric regression model, especially smoothing splines provide powerful tools to model the functions which … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of the Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Weibull DistributionAl Omari Mohammed Ahmed, Hadeel Salim Al-Kutubi, Noor Akma IbrahimProblem statement: The Weibull distribution has been widely used especially in the modeling of lifetime event data. It provides a statistical model which has a wide variety of applications in many areas, and the main advantage is its ability in the context of lifetime event, to provide reasonably accurate failure analysis and failure forecasts especially with extremely small samples. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNegative Binomial-Lindley Distribution and Its ApplicationHossein Zamani, Noriszura IsmailProblem statement: The modeling of claims count is one of the most important topics in actuarial theory and practice. Many attempts were implemented in expanding the classes of mixed and compound distributions, especially in the distribution of exponential family, resulting in a better fit on count data. In some cases, it is proven that mixed distributions, in particular mixed Poisson … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 15,678 accessesView PDFCite
