Design and performance of wide-band corrugated walls for the BICEP Array detector modules at 30/40 GHz
A. Soliman, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +75
BICEP Array is a degree-scale Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiment that will search for primordial B-mode polarization while constraining Galactic foregrounds. BICEP Array…
The sample fraction in peaks-over-threshold problems where the second-order expansion is valid with specific reference to the generalized Pareto distribution
J. Martin van Zyl
In samples from a heavy-tailed distribution a second-order approximation is often use to approximate the tail function. Based on the parameters of the approximation, an optimal sam…
The performance of univariate goodness-of-fit tests for normality based on the empirical characteristic function in large samples
J. Martin van Zyl
An empirical power comparison is made between two tests based on the empirical characteristic function and some of the best performing tests for normality. A simple normality test…
The efficiency of the likelihood ratio to choose between a t-distribution and a normal distribution
J. Martin van Zyl
A decision must often be made between heavy-tailed and Gaussian errors for a regression or a time series model, and the t-distribution is frequently used when it is assumed that th…
Estimating the Tail Index by using Model Averaging
J. Martin van Zyl
The ideas of model averaging are used to find weights in peak-over-threshold problems using a possible range of thresholds. A range of the largest observations are chosen and consi…
Exact expressions for the weights used in least-squares regression estimation for the log-logistic and Weibull distribution
J. M. van Zyl
Estimation for the log-logistic and Weibull distributions can be performed by using the equations used for probability plotting. The equations leads to highly heteroscedastic regre…
