Construction and parameter estimation of wrapped normal models

Roux, Hannaline (University of Pretoria, 2019-08)

If a known distribution on a real line is given, it can be wrapped on the circumference of a unit circle. This research entails the study of a univariate skew-normal distribution where the skew-normal distribution is ...

A maximum likelihood estimation approach for spliced distributions obtained through quantile splicing

Van der Sande, Jeanne-Louise (University of Pretoria, 2022-11-30)

This mini-dissertation proposes constructing a family of spliced distributions at a point different from the median, hence k=1/4 instead of k=1/2, using the method of quantile splicing proposed by Mac'Oduol et al. (2020). ...
Practical likelihood-based inference for the univariate generalized hyperbolic distribution

Van Wyk, Arnold (University of Pretoria, 2021)

Maximum likelihood estimation is a powerful estimation tool that is widely used to fit models to data. In this study, the behaviour of the log-likelihood function, and the ensuing impact on the maximum likelihood estimation ...
