We address this by deriving the closed-form expressions for MADs directly from the cumulative distribution function of the underlying distribution. Moreover, the computation of MAD requires only the ...

Consider a real-valued random variable X on a sample space Ω ⊆ R with density f (x) and cumulative distribution function F (x) [1]. If X is a discrete random variable, then Ω is some countable sample ...

This paper develops a 2-D cumulative distribution function (CDF)-based normalization method, which normalizes the variable-angle observations to a reference angle by matching the CDF of observations ...

With the current interest in copula methods, and fat-tailed or other non-normal distributions, it is appropriate to investigate technologies for managing marginal distributions of interest. We explore ...

The simulations show that the finite sample performance of the maximum likelihood estimator of the censored SFA model is very promising. A simple empirical example on the modeling of reservation wage ...
