Parametric models for biomarkers based on flexible size distributions

Davillas, Apostolos; Jones, Andrew M. - 2018

Recent advances in social science surveys include collection of biological samples. Although biomarkers offer a large potential for social science and economic research, they impose a number of statistical challenges, often being distributed asymmetrically with heavy tails. Using data from the...

The beta generalized Pareto distribution with application to lifetime data

Mahmoudi, Eisa - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 81 (2011) 11, pp. 2414-2430

The generalized Pareto (GP) distribution is useful in modeling extreme value data, because of its long tail feature. In this paper, a new generalized version of this distribution which is called the beta generalized Pareto (BGP) distribution is introduced. A new distribution is more flexible and...

A generalized gamma distribution with application to drought data

Nadarajah, Saralees; Gupta, Arjun K. - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 74 (2007) 1, pp. 1-7

Gamma distributions are some of the most popular models for hydrological processes. In this paper, a very flexible family which contains the gamma distribution as a particular case is introduced. Evidence of flexibility is shown by examining the shape of its probability density function (pdf). A...
