Abstract. A new reformulation of Philips’ algorithm for the computation of discrete image moments is presented. As Philips’ method, the new reformulation produces the same exact results but in a faster manner. Moment ...

Gallant and Tauchen (1996) describe an estimation technique, known as Efficient Method of Moments (EMM), that uses numerical methods to estimate parameters of a structural model. The technique uses as matching conditions ...

We derive here estimators for the parameters of the Gumbel distribution using three estimating methods, namely, the probability weighted moments, the moment and the maximum likelihood methods. Furthermore, we compare the ...

We show that Prony's method provides the full solution to the nonlinear equations of the connected-moments expansion (CMX). Knowledge of all the parameters in the CMX ansatz is useful for the analysis of the convergence ...
