In this note it is shown that P(η - ξ > 0) can easily be calculated using tables of the bivariate normal distribution, where ξ, η are independent, ξ has a normal distribution, and η has a truncated ...

In this article we propose inferential procedures for a gamma distribution using the Wilson-Hilferty (WH) normal approximation. Specifically, using the result that the cube root of a gamma random ...

This column is the fourth in a series on parameter estimation, leading up to the justly famous Kalman filter. The discipline is based on the fact that our knowledge of the state of any real-world ...
