Parameter estimation of random variables distribution
Šimková, Barbora ; Mošna, František (advisor) ; Novotná, Jarmila (referee)
of the bachelor's thesis Title: Parameter estimation of random variables distribution Author: Bc. Barbora Šimková Department: Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Education Supervisor: RNDr. František Mošna, Dr. Abstract: The subject of this thesis is to compare basic methods by which it is possible to calculate point estimates of discrete and continuous probability distributions. The work deals with the analysis of the two methods - the method of moments and maximum like- lihood method. These methods are used for point estimates of probability distributions parameters. The method of moments studies the comparison between the theoretical and sample moments of a random variable. The method of maximum likelihood is another alternative for the calculation of point estimates, which uses the classical ap- proach of finding the maximum of a function, using the properties of random selection. These methods of calculation are based on statistical methods and could be useful for extending the basic course on probability and statistics at Charles University's Fac- ulty of Education. The work is an overview of the estimated parameters of the basic distribution and compares the quality of two basic methods for their estimation. Keywords: parameter estimation, distribution of random variables, maximum...

Estimation of probability distribution for censored data
Teichmannová, Zuzana ; Lachout, Petr (advisor) ; Antoch, Jaromír (referee)
In this thesis, we look into estimation of probability distribution for censored data. These data are not complete, because for some reason it was impossible to observe them all. We use the Kaplan-Meier estimator and study some of its properties. We also use the Nelson-Aalen estimator. In the end we make a compa- rison of these estimators with a naive estimator, which omits the censored data. The comparison is illustrated on two numerical examples where we can see the main differences in the accuracy of the estimators. We will see that it is better to include the censored data to our estimations. 1
