Parameter Estimation for the Bateman Function via Moments of the Empirical Curve |
|
| Authors: | H Knolle |
| Abstract: | The parameters of the function f(t)=c(e?at-e?bt) are related in a simple way to the moments ∞ tnf(t)dt(n=0, 1, 2). Using empirical values of f, the moments can be estimated by numerical integration. Therefrom estimates of the parameters are obtained by elementary algebra. |
