PARAMETER ESTIMATOR FOR THE BRITTLE FRACTURE DISTRIBUTION
Jong Wuu Wu (Taiwan, R. O. C.)
|
Abstract: Parameter estimates of the brittle fracture distribution for
the strength of brittle fibers and composite materials are considered. In this
paper, we propose four new least squares estimators that are different from the
estimators of Black et al. [4]. By using the Monte Carlo simulation, we found
that some of our proposed least squares estimators have smaller mean squared
error than the estimators of Black et al. [4] for the different sample sizes. |
Keywords and phrases: brittle fracture, least squares, maximum likelihood, Monte
Carlo simulation. |
