The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...

We develop analytical approximations to bootstrap distribution functions of statistics that are smooth functions of vector means. In particular, our technique is applicable in the case of bootstrap ...

Basic statistical techniques can be utilized to calculate standard deviation in order to evaluate the error margin in a measurement. Yet, even the estimated standard ...

Lidar remote sensing has shown high accuracy/precision for quantification of forest biophysical parameters needed for ecological management. Although the significant effect of Bidirectional Scattering ...

Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is an important parameter for the analysis of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals. CCDF curves are known to have great importance in the study ...

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 ...

In this paper we consider the lognormal, gamma, beta, and Singh-Maddala functions as descriptive models for the distribution of family income for 1960 and 1969 through 1975. Least squares and two ...
