The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...

We develop analytical approximations to bootstrap distribution functions of statistics that are smooth functions of vector means. In particular, our technique is applicable in the case of bootstrap ...

Unless sufficient evidence to the contrary exists, the exponential distribution is often assumed as a model for the failure density function in reliability predictions. The generalized gamma ...

With the current interest in copula methods, and fat-tailed or other non-normal distributions, it is appropriate to investigate technologies for managing marginal distributions of interest. We explore ...
