A decision model for allocation of funds to family planning clinics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1977-05)The purposes of this research are (1) to develop a decision model for this type of fund allocation and (2) to investigate the usefulness of linear programming as a means for the problem's formulation and solution. The goals ... -
Estimation of parameters of certain thick-tailed distributions with applications
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1976-05)In recent years the theory and application of thick-tailed distributions has received considerable attention in literature, especially in economic framework. The stable distributions, Students-t distribution, and mixture ... -
On some new bivariate negative binomial and gamma distributions with applications to queues, inventories and maintenance
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1976-05)Some new theory and applications of certain bivariate non-normal distributions are presented. In particular, new bivariate negative binomial and gamma distributions are discussed and an existing bivariate exponential ... -

Robust data analysis based on characteristic functions
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1976-05)Characteristic functions have heretofore mainly been a theoretical tool in the theory of probability and mathematical statistics and have been all but neglected in the field of data analysis. The research presented in this ... -

Some data analysis procedures based on the empirical characteristic function
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1977-05)The estimation of the parameters of a certain modified compound Poisson distribution with normal summands is investigated. This problem is of importance in a variety of applications and in particular arises from a security ... -
