  • convergence rates for empirical bayes estimation of the scale parameter in a Pareto Distribution
    Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 1993
    Co-Authors: Tachen Liang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Let f(χ∣θ) = αθ α χ α+1 I (θ,∞) (χ) be the pdf of a Pareto Distribution with known shape scale parameter α > 0 and unknown scale parameter θ. We study the problem of estimating the scale parameter θ under a squared-error loss through the nonparametric empirical Bayes approach. An empirical Bayes estimator is proposed and the corresponding asymptotic optimality is also investigated. It is shown that under certain weak conditions the proposed empirical Bayes estimator is asymptotically optimal and the associated rate of convergence is of order O(n − 2 3 ) .

  • parameter estimation for the truncated Pareto Distribution
    Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2006
    Co-Authors: Inmaculada Aban, Mark M Meerschaert, Anna K Panorska
    Abstract:

    The Pareto Distribution is a simple model for nonnegative data with a power law probability tail. In many practical applications, there is a natural upper bound that truncates the probability tail. This article derives estimators for the truncated Pareto Distribution, investigates their properties, and illustrates a way to check for fit. These methods are illustrated with applications from finance, hydrology, and atmospheric science.
