Book excerpt: We consider first the folded normal probability density function, especially as it relates to the original normal population from which it came. We present some maximum likelihood estimates, followed by other estimating procedures which are simpler to handle...Finally, an example of real camber data is presented with the appropriate estimation of the theoretical distributions. Some remarks of the folded normal and other work being done on this conclude the paper.

Book excerpt: The general formula for the rth moment of the folded normal distribution is obtained, and formulae for the first four non-central and central moments are calculated explicitly. To illustrate the mode of convergence of teh folded normal to the normal distribution, as [mu]/ơ = [theta] increases, the shape factors ßf1 and ßf2 were calculated and the relationship between them represented graphically. Two methods, one using first and second moments (Method I) and the other using second and fourth moments (Method II) of estimating the parameters of [mu] and ơ of the parent normal distribution are presented and their standard errors calculated. The accuracy of both methods, for various values of [theta], are discussed.

Download or read book Benchmarking for Performance Evaluation written by Subhash C. Ray and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed introduction to the theoretical and methodological foundations of production efficiency analysis using benchmarking. Two of the more popular methods of efficiency evaluation are Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), both of which are based on the concept of a production possibility set and its frontier. Depending on the assumed objectives of the decision-making unit, a Production, Cost, or Profit Frontier is constructed from observed data on input and output quantities and prices. While SFA uses different maximum likelihood estimation techniques to estimate a parametric frontier, DEA relies on mathematical programming to create a nonparametric frontier. Yet another alternative is the Convex Nonparametric Frontier, which is based on the assumed convexity of the production possibility set and creates a piecewise linear frontier consisting of a number of tangent hyper planes. Three of the papers in this volume provide a detailed and relatively easy to follow exposition of the underlying theory from neoclassical production economics and offer step-by-step instructions on the appropriate model to apply in different contexts and how to implement them. Of particular appeal are the instructions on (i) how to write the codes for different SFA models on STATA, (ii) how to write a VBA Macro for repetitive solution of the DEA problem for each production unit on Excel Solver, and (iii) how to write the codes for the Nonparametric Convex Frontier estimation. The three other papers in the volume are primarily theoretical and will be of interest to PhD students and researchers hoping to make methodological and conceptual contributions to the field of nonparametric efficiency analysis.
