Several valuable data sources, including the census and National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, include data measured using interval responses. Many empirical studies attempt estimation by assuming the data correspond to the interval midpoints and then use OLS or maximum likelihood assuming...

The importance of the historical information in flood analysis has previously been underlined. In this context, we present an integral methodology aimed at the establishment of return periods of different flood units on the unique basis of historical data. Specifically, the reconstruction of the...

Vector Fitting is an effective technique for rational approximation of LTI systems. It has been extended to fit the magnitude of the transfer function in absence of phase data. In this paper, magnitude Vector Fitting is modified to work on inequalities which the magnitude of the transfer...
