Estimating Counts Through an Average Rounded to the Nearest Non-negative Integer and its Theoretical & Practical Effects
Roberto Rivera, Axel Cortes-Cubero, Roberto Reyes-Carranza +1
In practice, the use of rounding is ubiquitous. Although researchers have looked at the implications of rounding continuous random variables, rounding may also be applied to functi…
Supplemental Studies for Simultaneous Goodness-of-Fit Testing
Wolfgang Rolke
Testing to see whether a given data set comes from some specified distribution is among the oldest types of problems in Statistics. Many such tests have been developed and their pe…
A Chi-square Goodness-of-Fit Test for Continuous Distributions against a known Alternative
Wolfgang Rolke, Cristian Gutierrez Gongora
The chi square goodness-of-fit test is among the oldest known statistical tests, first proposed by Pearson in 1900 for the multinomial distribution. It has been in use in many fiel…
Modeling Excess Deaths After a Natural Disaster with Application to Hurricane Maria
Roberto Rivera, Wolfgang Rolke
Estimation of excess deaths due to a natural disaster is an important public health problem. The CDC provides guidelines to fill death certificates to help determine the death toll…
A Comparison of Limit Setting Methods for the On-Off Problem
Wolfgang A. Rolke
We study the frequentist properties of confidence intervals for the On-Off problem. The methods include all those in common use today. We derive explicit formulas for the limits an…
Estimating a Signal In the Presence of an Unknown Background
Wolfgang A. Rolke, Angel M. López
We describe a method for fitting distributions to data which only requires knowledge of the parametric form of either the signal or the background but not both. The unknown distrib…
