An Alternative Estimate of Preferred Direction for Circular Data

Otieno, Bennett Sango 30 July 2002 (has links)
Circular or Angular data occur in many fields of applied statistics. A common problem of interest in circular data is estimating a preferred direction and its corresponding distribution. This problem is complicated by the so-called wrap-around effect, which exists because there is no minimum or maximum on the circle. The usual statistics employed for linear data are inappropriate for directional data, as they do not account for the circular nature of directional data. Common choices for summarizing the preferred direction are the sample circular mean, and sample circular median. A newly proposed circular analog of the Hodges-Lehmann estimator is proposed, as an alternative estimate of preferred direction. The new measure of preferred direction is a robust compromise between circular mean and circular median. Theoretical results show that the new measure of preferred direction is asymptotically more efficient than the circular median and that its asymptotic efficiency relative to the circular mean is quite comparable. Descriptions of how to use the methods for constructing confidence intervals and testing hypotheses are provided. Simulation results demonstrate the relative strengths and weaknesses of the new approach for a variety of distributions. / Ph. D.

Analysis of circular data in the dynamic model and mixture of von Mises distributions

Lan, Tian, active 2013 10 December 2013 (has links)
Analysis of circular data becomes more and more popular in many fields of studies. In this report, I present two statistical analysis of circular data using von Mises distributions. Firstly, the maximization-expectation algorithm is reviewed and used to classify and estimate circular data from the mixture of von Mises distributions. Secondly, Forward Filtering Backward Smoothing method via particle filtering is reviewed and implemented when circular data appears in the dynamic state-space models. / text

A Statistical Analysis of the Lake Levels at Lake Neusiedl

Leodolter, Johannes January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
A long record of daily data is used to study the lake levels of Lake Neusiedl, a large steppe lake at the eastern border of Austria. Daily lake level changes are modeled as functions of precipitation, temperature, and wind conditions. The occurrence and the amount of daily precipitation are modeled with logistic regressions and generalized linear models.

Από τις τυχαίες γωνίες στις περιοδικές κατανομές

Παπαδοπούλου, Γεωργία 07 June 2013 (has links)
Η εκπόνηση της συγκεκριμένης Μεταπτυχιακής Εργασίας, εξετάζει, καταρχήν, την έννοια της πιθανότητας και τις βασικές ιδιότητές της, όπως την τυχαία μεταβλητή και τη συνάρτηση κατανομής. Παράλληλα όμως, παρουσιάζει στοιχεία βασικών διακριτών και συνεχών κατανομών, όπως της κανονικής, της ομοιόμορφης, της Poisson, και άλλων κατανομών της γραμμικής στατιστικής. Στη συνέχεια, αναφέρεται στις βασικές έννοιες της περιγραφικής στατιστικής, όπως οργάνωση και γραφική αναπαράσταση στατιστικών δεδομένων, ομαδοποίηση παρατηρήσεων, ιστόγραμμα συχνοτήτων, καθώς και περιγραφικά μέτρα γραμμικών δεδομένων. Κυρίως, όμως, η παρούσα μελέτη αποτελεί μία γενική επισκόπηση των στατιστικών μεθόδων παρουσίασης και ανάλυσης των περιοδικών δεδομένων. Με τον όρο "περιοδικά δεδομένα", εννοούμε τυχαίες διευθύνσεις και κατευθύνσεις προσανατολισμού. Η παρουσίασης των τυχαίων γωνιών, των γραφικών αναπαραστάσεων των περιοδικών δεδομένων καθώς και των περιγραφικών μέτρων - μέτρα θέσεως, διασποράς, λοξότητας, κυρτώσεως - θα μας οδηγήσουν σε μία καλύτερη προσέγγιση, κατανόηση των περιοδικών κατανομών. Επιπλέον, θα παρουσιαστούν αναλυτικά οι βασικές περιοδικές κατανομές, ομοιόμορφη και Von Mises κατανομή. Όμως, θα εξεταστούν και άλλες κατανομές μονοκόρυφες ή πολυκόρυφες, όπως οι περιελιγμένες κατανομές , η συνημίτονο και η καρδιοειδής κατανομή, οι λοξές κατανομές κ.ά. Τέλος, η εργασία θα αναφερθεί σε μία οικογένεια συμμετρικών περιοδικών κατανομών που προτάθηκε από τον κύριο Παπακωνσταντίνου και αποτελεί επέκταση της καρδιοειδούς κατανομής,σύμφωνα με εργασία των επιστημόνων Toshihiro Abe,Arthur Pewsey,Kunio Shimizu, παρέχοντας σημαντικά πλεονεκτήματα σε σχέση με άλλες οικογένειες κατανομών. / The preparation of this thesis examines, in principle,the concept of probability and its basic properties, such as the random variable and distribution function and presents data of basic discrete and continuous distributions, including normal, uniform, the Poisson, and other distributions of linear statistics. Then it refers to the basic concepts of descriptive statistics, such as the organization and the graphic representation of statistical data, grouping observations Frequency histogram as well as descriptive measures of linear data. Mostly, though, this study represents an overview of statistic methods of presentation and analysis of periodic data. By the term "periodic data" we mean random addresses and directions orientation. The presentation of random angles, graphic representations of periodic data and descriptive measures - measures of location, dispersion, skewness and kurtosis - will lead us to a better approach and understanding of periodic distributions. Furthermore, we present in detail the basic periodic distributions, the uniform and the Von Mises distribution. But other unimodal and multimodal distributions will be examined such as wrapped distributions, the cosine and cardioid distribution, skewed distributions, etc. Finally, this thesis will mention a family of symmetric periodic distributions proposed by Mr. Papakonstantinou and an extension of the cardioid distribution, according to the paper published by the scientists Toshihiro Abe,Arthur Pewsey and Kunio Shimizu, where significant advantages are provided over other families of distributions.
