Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEMPIRICAL LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION BASED ON SIMULATED MOMENT CONDITIONSXing WangIn this study we discuss the optimization of the Empirical Likelihood (EL) criterion function when the moment condition is nonstandard. We deal with this issue following the Method of Simulated Moment (MSM) introduced and we use importance sampling method to smooth discrete moment conditions. We have demonstrated the convergence and asymptotic normality of the empirical likelihood estimator from the simulated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2014 · 6,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of the Extreme Value Type I Distribution by the Method of LQ-MomentsAni Shabri, Abdul Aziz JemainProblem statement: The study evaluated the effectiveness of the various quantile estimators of the LQ-moments method for estimating parameters of the Extreme Value Type 1 (EV1) distribution. Approach: The performances of the LQ-moments were analyzed and compared against a widely used method of L-moments by using simulated samples of both EV1 and generalized Lambda distribution, focusing on small and moderate … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmall Size and Dual Band of a Quadratic Koch Dipole Fractal Antenna DesignFawwaz J. Jibrael, Faez F. Shareef, Wafaa S. MummoThe performance and analysis of a small size, low profile and dual band quadratic Koch curve dipole antenna was introduced. The proposed antenna design, analysis and characterization had been performed using the method of moments (MoM) technique. The radiation characteristics, VSWR, reflection coefficient and input impedance of the proposed antenna were described and simulated using 4NEC2 software package, MATLAB v7.2 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
