Semi-parametric models typically involve a finite-dimensional parameter $\boldsymbol{\theta}\in \Theta \subseteq {\Bbb R}^{k}$, along with an infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter f. Quite often, ...

Human exposure analysis has traditionally been concerned with inhalation and dietary exposure routes. For certain populations, like young children, dermal exposure can be the most significant route of ...

This section describes the probability distributions available in the RELIABILITY procedure for probability plotting and parameter estimation. Refer to Lawless (1982, p. 240) for a description of the ...

Let τ be a prior distribution over the parameter space Θ for a given parametric model P θ, θ ∈ Θ. For the sample space X (over which P θ 's are probability measures) belonging to a general class of ...

In risk analysis, researchers often fit many candidate distributions to frequency and severity data and select based on goodness-of-fit. In a new study published in Risk Sciences, the authors ...

Students of statistics and researchers in search of a stats review will appreciate the Probability-Distributions app designed by Dr. Matthew Bognar at the University of Iowa. The app includes ...
