  1. Estimation methods for percentiles of extremum distribution related to the evaluation methods of performance indexes of weapon systems in small sample situation are proposed with empirical distribution function and uncertain maximum principle. Then, a example is given.
  2. In real calculation, what we should do is just using empirical distribution function to replace real distribution function.
  3. In this paper we shall discuss two topics : the empirical distribution function of censored data and the Linear regression with censored data.
  4. Two non-parametric estimation methods are adopted, namely the empirical distribution function and kernel density estimation, to establish the joint distribution function between the yield rates of pledge portfolio.
  5. In this paper, the spline smooth empirical distribution function is defined. Under suitable conditions, we show that the random weighting approximation for smooth empirical distribution function is consistent.
