Weibull and generalised exponential overdispersion models with an application to ozone air pollution
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTDABINGDON, 2012)
We consider the problem of estimating the mean and variance of the time between occurrences of an event of interest (inter-occurrences times) where some forms of dependence between two consecutive time intervals are allowed. ...
PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PLANCHONELLA PACHYCARPA WOOD SPECIES FOR USE IN STRUCTURAL PURPOSE
(Slovak Forest Products Research Inst, 2021-01-01)
This research aimed to characterize the wood species Goiabao (Planchonella pachycarpa), following the precepts set forth in the Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 7190, as well as to evaluate the possibility of estimating physical ...
Estimation of Compression and Shrinkage Properties of Brazilian Tropical Timber through Porosimetry Analysis by Mercury Intrusion
(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, 2022-02-01)
Wood is a natural material with properties that are strongly influenced by anatomical characteristics, so studies that aim to correlate properties through empirical equations in search of simplification to obtain the values ...
Demography and socioeconomic vulnerability influence fire occurrence in Bariloche (Argentina)
(Elsevier Science, 2013-02)
Despite the enormous impact of fires on human welfare, few studies evaluated the influence of demographic and socioeconomic conditions on the occurrence of vegetation fires. We used quantile regression to estimate the ...
ESTIMATING THE DENSITY AND PULPING YIELD OF E. globulus WOOD BY DRIFT-MIR SPECTROSCOPY AND PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS REGRESSION (PCR)
(Sociedad Chilena de Química, 2003)
Asymmetric Laplace Regression: Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Entropy and Quantile Regression
(De Gruyter, 2016-01)
This paper studies the connections among the asymmetric Laplace probability density (ALPD), maximum likelihood, maximum entropy and quantile regression. We show that the maximum likelihood problem is equivalent to the ...
Bayesian modeling using a class of bimodal skew-elliptical distributions
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
We consider Bayesian inference using an extension of the family of skew-elliptical distributions studied by Azzalini [1985. A class of distributions which includes the normal ones. Scand. J. Statist. Theory and Applications ...
