Forecasting for any small business involves guesswork. You know your business and its past performance, but you may not be comfortable predicting the future. Using Excel is a great way to perform what ...

This column is the fourth in a series on parameter estimation, leading up to the justly famous Kalman filter. The discipline is based on the fact that our knowledge of the state of any real-world ...

You can use the CDFPLOT statement to fit any of six theoretical distributions (beta, exponential, gamma, lognormal, normal, and Weibull) and superimpose them on the cdf plot. The following statements ...

SAS/INSIGHT software provides tests for the null hypothesis that the input data values are a random sample from a normal distribution. These test statistics include the Shapiro-Wilk statistic (W) and ...

Recent advances in estimation techniques have underscored the growing importance of shrinkage estimation and balanced loss functions in the analysis of multivariate normal distributions. These ...

I want a random number, between 0 and 1 (for the purposes, this is JavaScript, but that shouldn't matter so much). But I don't just want a uniform distribution of numbers, I want something skewed, so ...

The market demand curve and the normal curve are different in several different ways. The shape of the demand curve, its purpose and the function that defines it are all different from that of the ...

Minimum variance unbiased estimates of the inverse Gaussian distribution function for all possible cases are given. A direct relationship is established between its density function and the normal ...
