The Bias in Moment Estimators for Parameters of Drop Size Distribution Functions: Sampling from Exponential Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The moment estimators frequently used to estimate parameters for drop size distribution (DSD) functions being ?fitted? to observed raindrop size distributions are biased. Consequently, the fitted functions often do not ...
L-Moment Estimators as Applied to Gamma Drop Size Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The traditional approach with experimental raindrop size data has been to use the method of moments in the fitting procedure to estimate the parameters for the raindrop size distribution function. However, the moment method ...
The Bias and Error in Moment Estimators for Parameters of Drop Size Distribution Functions: Sampling from Gamma Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper complements an earlier one that demonstrated the bias in the method-of-moments (MM) estimators frequently used to estimate parameters for drop size distribution (DSD) functions being ?fitted? to observed raindrop ...
On Use of the Standard Deviation of the Mass Distribution as a Parameter in Raindrop Size Distribution Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUse of the standard deviation σm of the drop mass distribution as one of the three parameters of raindrop size distribution (DSD) functions was introduced for application to disdrometer data supporting the Global ...
Comparison of Estimators for Parameters of Gamma Distributions with Left-Truncated Samples
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When fitting a raindrop size distribution using a gamma model from data collected by a disdrometer, some consideration needs to be given to the small drops that fail to be recorded (typical disdrometer minimum size thresholds ...
