A goodness-of-fit test based on the empirical characteristic function and a comparison of tests for normality
J. Martin van Zyl
The normal distribution has the unique property that the cumulant generating function has only two terms, namely those involving the mean and the variance. This property is used to…
Regression with an infinite number of observations applied to estimating the parameters of the stable distribution using the empirical characteristic function
J. Martin van Zyl
A function of the empirical characteristic function,exists for the stable distribution, which leads to a linear regression and can be used to estimate the parameters. Two approache…
Applying least absolute deviation regression to regression-type estimation of the index of a stable distribution using the characteristic function
J. Martin van Zyl
Least absolute deviation regression is applied using a fixed number of points for all values of the index to estimate the index and scale parameter of the stable distribution using…
An empirical study to check the accuracy of approximating averages of ratios using ratios of averages
J. Martin van Zyl
For a number of researchers a number of publications for each author is simulated using the zeta distribution and then for each publication a number of citations per publication si…
