REMARKS ON THOM'S ESTIMATORS FOR THE GAMMA DISTRIBUTION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thom's estimators for the two-parameter gamma distribution arise as asymtotic approximations to the maximum likelihood estimators. Being perhaps the simplest estimators known in this case, their properties are here ...
Weather Modification from Cooling Towers: A Test Based on the Distributional Properties of Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical technique for the treatment of data from weather modification experiments is presented. This work, a part of the Meteorological Effects of Thermal Energy Releases (METER) Program, is aimed at determining the ...
Note on the Sample Size to Achieve Normality for Estimators for the Gamma Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The two-parameter gamma distribution is determined by its shape parameter ? and scale parameter, ?. Maximum likelihood estimators of these ??/?, ??/? are distributed independent of ? and tend to be normally distributed as ...
Achieving Climate Change Absolute Accuracy in Orbit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: te Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission will provide a calibration laboratory in orbit for the purpose of accurately measuring and attributing climate change. CLARREO measurements establish new ...
