The cyclone wave parameters are predicted using Young’s parametric hurricane wave prediction model. The input cyclone tracks for this work are obtained from Fleet Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Center, USA. Extreme value analysis is carried out to obtain the wave heights and periods for 1...

A parameterization derived from the Weibull distribution is used to model the seismic activity of the Vrancea region. The analysis of 498 crustal earthquakes with local magnitudes greater than 2.0, and 1377 subcrustal events with local magnitudes greater than 2.5 emphasizes that the shallow...

Debris flow moves in the form of surge waves and consists of dozens or even hundreds of surges that are separated in time and space and have a variety of appearances, as exemplified in Jiangjia Gully, China. Observations there indicate that the deposit is made up by superposition of successive...

Assuming a beta prior distribution on the fraction defective, <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$p$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, failure-censored sampling plans for Weibull lifetime models using classical (or average) and Bayesian (or posterior) producer’s and consumer’s risks are designed to determine the acceptability of lots of a given product....</equationsource></inlineequation>

In this paper, the identifiability of a finite mixture of generalized exponential distributions (GE(τ, α)) is proved and the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE’s) of the parameters are obtained using EM algorithm based on a general form of right-censored failure times. The results are...

We study some mathematical properties of the Marshall–Olkin extended Weibull distribution introduced by Marshall and Olkin (Biometrika 84:641–652, <CitationRef CitationID="CR17">1997</CitationRef>). We provide explicit expressions for the moments, generating and quantile functions, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves,...</citationref>

In this paper, three different types of data sets, namely, the sequence of top k scores vectors, just one top k scores vector and the sequence of upper k-record values are considered. Frequentist estimation based on three mentioned data sets and also the amount of Fisher information (FI) in them...

This paper proposes two general procedures to develop wind speed models based on stochastic differential equations. Models are intended to generate wind speed trajectories with statistical properties similar to those observed in the wind speed historical data available for a particular location....

This paper is to study Weibull distribution and Maximum Entropy Principle applied to fit the wind speed frequency distribution of the intertidal zone anemometer towers. Comparisons of the results from Weibull distribution and Maximum Entropy distribution are made for the characteristics of the...

The instantaneous wind power contained in the air current is directly proportional with the cube of the wind speed. In practice, there is a record of wind speeds in the form of a time series. It is, therefore, necessary to develop a formulation that takes into consideration the statistical...
