Nonparametric methods provide a flexible framework for estimating the probability density function of random variables without imposing a strict parametric model. By relying directly on observed data, ...

We propose a method for reconstructing a probability density function (pdf) from a sample of an n-dimensional probability distribution. The method works by iteratively applying some simple ...

Advances in Applied Probability, Vol. 19, No. 3 (Sep., 1987), pp. 632-651 (20 pages) We consider a class of functions on [0,∞), denoted by Ω , having Laplace transforms with only negative zeros and ...

ABSTRACT The subgrid-scale variability of the liquid water path (LWP) of marine boundary layer clouds in areas that correspond to the typical grid size of large-scale (global climate and weather ...

Our eLibrary offers over 25,000 IMF publications in multiple formats. Building on the widely-used double-lognormal approach by Bahra (1997), this paper presents a multi-lognormal approach with ...

Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take on any value between two specified values).
