This article deals with practical problems of fitting empirical data with generalized lambda distribution. Given method based on moment matching is illustrated on a practical example.

In this paper we propose an accelerated version of the cubic regularization of Newton's method [6]. The original version, used for minimizing a convex function with Lipschitz-continuous Hessian, guarantees a global rate of convergence of order O(1/k exp.2), where k is the iteration counter. Our...

We give a framework for the globalization of a nonsmooth Newton method. In part one we start with recalling B. Kummer’s approach to convergence analysis of a nonsmooth Newton method and state his results for local convergence. In part two we give a globalized version of this method. Our...
