Procedures for goodness-of-fit tests, confidence intervals and lower confidence limits for Weibull distributed data

1997 ◽  

In Chapter 2, probability distributions are presented; the distributions exposed are those with more relation to the analysis and study of waiting lines; discrete distributions: binomial, geometric, Poisson; continuous distributions: uniform, exponential, erlang, and normal. Confidence intervals are calculated for some of the parameters of the distributions. A brief example of the generation of pseudorandom exponential times using a spreadsheet is presented. The chapter closes with the goodness-of-fit tests of probability distributions, especially the Anderson-Darling test. The statistical language of programming R is used in the exercises performed. Several codes are proposed in R Language to perform calculations automatically.

The dependence structure between 756 prices for futures on crude oil and natural gas traded on NYMEX is analyzed  using  a combination of novel time-series and copula tools.  We model the log-returns on each commodity individually by Generalized Autoregressive Score models and account for dependence between them by fitting various copulas to corresponding  error terms. Our basic assumption is that the dependence structure may vary over time, but the ratio between the joint distribution of error terms and the product of marginal distributions (e.g., Sibuya's dependence function) remains the same, being time-invariant.  By performing conventional goodness-of-fit tests, we select the best copula, being member of the currently  introduced class of  Sibuya-type copulas.
