Modeling Distributions of Test Scores with Mixtures of Beta Distributions
Test score distributions are used to make important instructional decisions about students. The test scores usually do not follow a normal distribution. In some cases, the scores appear to follow a bimodal distribution that can be modeled with a mixture of beta distributions. This bimodality may be …

YSCAT Backscatter Distributions
… <p>In order to characterized YSCAT94 backscatter distributions, a second order polynomial in log space is developed as a model for the probability of the radar cross sectionΓρ(σ°). Following Gotwols and ThompsonΓρ(σ°) is found to adhere to a log-normal distribution for horizontal polarization and …

Generalized Probabilistic Bowling Distributions
… on pins. Finally, to summarize the variety of distributions, we shall make tables that display the results obtained from each distribution used to model a particular bowler’s score. We evaluate the special case when bowling 10 frames on 10 pins, which represents a standard bowling game.

Eliciting continuous probability distributions
… aspects of eliciting continuous probability distributions. Through experimentation involving 103 judges the method of assessing single variable distributions by fixed variable or fixed probability method is compared. Slight, but consistent, superiority is shown by the fixed variable method. …

Estimation in truncated distributions
… Estimation of the parameters from truncated distributions has been an open field for research. This thesis examines the developments which have taken place in this area, giving the major writers and the methods used by them to obtain estimators. A. C. Cohen is responsible for much work …

Modeling with bivariate geometric distributions
… can be characterized as multivariate geometric distributions. It was proved that these characterizations of the geometric models can be achieved using conditional probabilities, conditional failure rates, or probability generating functions. These new models were fitted to real-life data using …

Fluorescence lifetime distributions in proteins
… fluorescence decay of proteins can arise from distributions of exponentially decaying components. Lzfetime distribution functions are derived based on (i) conformational interconverting models with distributions of activation energies and (ii) statistical mechanical models of the protein. The …

Testing k-wise independent distributions
… 1 = zi] ... PrX~D [Xik = Zk]. k-wise independent distributions look random "locally" to an observer of only k coordinates, even though they may be far from random "globally". Because of this key feature, k-wise independent distributions are important concepts in probability, complexity, and …

Estimating the Parameters of Truncated Distributions
