(American Geophysical Union, 2013-02)This paper presents an improved bivariate mixed distribution, which is capable of modeling the dependence of daily rainfall from two distinct sources (e.g., rainfall from two stations, two consecutive days, or two instruments ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)To use the Bayesian approach to statistical inference, the auditor's subjective evidence must be quantified in the form of a prior probability distribution (PPD). Prior to this study there had been anecdotal evidence that ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)A solution technique for the analysis of generalized, distribution-free reliability networks is developed. It is applicable to systems consisting of independent cascade and/or parallel subsystems for which component pass-fail ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)This dissertation represents new techniques for evaluating generation capacity reliability. These techniques are based on Fourier transforms and their properties. They permit the use of continuous probability distribution(s) ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Capability indices measure the proportion of process output which lies outside two specification limits. The index, C[p], is used to quantify the potential of a process to stay within the specification limits. The indices, ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)River flow synthesizing and downscaling are required for the analysis of risks associated with water resources management plans and for regional impact studies of climate change. This paper presents a probabilistic model ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)In this dissertation, the Pyke-Shorack theorem for linear rank statistics is generalized to include testing for the equality of the marginal distributions in a bivariate population. This generalization is used to develop ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)This research applies the left-truncated logistic distribution to reliability modeling. The resulting models are applicable when the system components are subject to wearout and their individual time-to-failures can be ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)Underestimation of extreme values is a widely acknowledged issue in daily precipitation simulation. Nonparametric precipitation generators have inherent limitations in representing extremes. Parametric generators can ...
