This article deals with approximation of empirical distribution to standard normal distribution using Johnson transformation. This transformation enables us to approximate wide spectrum of continuous distributions with a normal distribution. The estimation of parameters of transformation...

It has been proved that there are many indicators (petrophysical quantities) for the estimation of petroleum reservoirs. The value of information contained in each indicator is yet to be addressed. In this work, the most famous and applicable petrophysical quantities for a reservoir, which are...

The aim of this paper is to study the consistency of the kernel density estimator pertaining to a continuous time stationary process X=(Xt)t≥0, with an underlying density f. More precisely, in a rather general dependency setting, where we use a martingale difference device and a technique...

Horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) blades are a critical component of wind turbines. Full-scale blade fatigue testing is required to verify that the blades possess the strength and service life specified in the design. Unfortunately, fatigue tests must be run for a long time period, which has...

A new likelihood approach is proposed for the problem of semiparametric estimation of a conditional distribution or density under censoring. Consistency and asymptotic normality for two versions of the maximum likelihood estimator of the parameter vector in the single index model are proved. The...

This study adopts multinomial logit models to separately measure the extent to which financial ratios and corporate governance signal the likelihood of "slight distress events" and "reorganization and bankruptcy." The results show that corporate governance variables are closely related to the...

An accurate quantification and characterization of the available wind resources is necessary to optimally design a wind farm. To effectively evaluate the wind energy, studying the wind's statistical characteristics is required. The probability distribution of wind speed is a very important piece...
