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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
