Abstract: Abstract In this paper, based on the cumulative distribution function (CDF) method (Jradi et al., 2021) for finding the optimal quantile when estimating stochastic frontier models (SFM) with normal–exponential composite error term, we derive an expression… read more here.

Abstract: The use of quantile functions of probability distributions whose cumulative distribution is intractable is often limited in Monte Carlo simulation, modeling, and random number generation. Gamma distribution is one of such distributions, and that has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa2522
Abstract: In the advent of large scale surveys, individually modelling strong-gravitational lenses and their counterpart time-delays in order to precisely measure H0 will become computationally expensive, and highly complex. A complimentary approach is to study the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/sym15061157
Abstract: Outliers are observations that are significantly different from the other observations in a dataset. These types of observations are asymmetric in nature due to a lack of symmetry. The estimation of the cumulative distribution function… read more here.
