1.5 Why there are differences between MLE and MME for the lognormal distribution?

We recall that the lognormal distribution function is given by

-

\[ -F_X(x) = \Phi\left(\frac{\log(x)-\mu}{\sigma} \right), -\]

+

\[f(x) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}} e^{-\frac{(x-\mu^2)}{2\sigma^2}}\]

+

\[F_X(x) = \Phi\left(\frac{\log(x)-\mu}{\sigma} \right),\]

where \(\Phi\) denotes the distribution function of the standard normal distribution. We know that \(E(X) = \exp\left( \mu+\frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 \right)\) and \(Var(X) = \exp\left( 2\mu+\sigma^2\right) (e^{\sigma^2} -1)\). diff --git a/articles/Optimalgo.html b/articles/Optimalgo.html index 8fc47ac..83be6e8 100644 --- a/articles/Optimalgo.html +++ b/articles/Optimalgo.html @@ -415,7 +415,7 @@

Comparing 5% percentiles (HC5) calculated using three fits one calculated MLE fit Burr distribution, can observe, example, fitting lognormal distribution maximizing left tail Anderson-Darling distances first second order enables approach value obtained fitting Burr distribution MLE. moment matching estimation (MME) another method commonly used fit parametric distributions (Vose 2010). MME consists finding value parameter \\(\\theta\\) equalizes first theoretical raw moments parametric distribution corresponding empirical raw moments Equation (3.1): \\[\\begin{equation} E(X^{k}|\\theta)=\\frac{1}{n}\\sum_{=1}^{n}x_{}^{k},\\tag{3.1} \\end{equation}\\] \\(k=1,\\ldots,d\\), \\(d\\) number parameters estimate \\(x_{}\\) \\(n\\) observations variable \\(X\\). moments order greater equal 2, may also relevant match centered moments. Therefore, match moments given Equation (3.2): \\[\\begin{equation} E(X\\vert \\theta) = \\overline{x} ~,~E\\left((X-E(X))^{k}|\\theta\\right)=m_k, \\text{ } k=2,\\ldots,d,\\tag{3.2} \\end{equation}\\] \\(m_k\\) denotes empirical centered moments. method can performed setting argument method \"mme\" call fitdist. estimate computed closed-form formula following distributions: normal, lognormal, exponential, Poisson, gamma, logistic, negative binomial, geometric, beta uniform distributions. case, distributions characterized one parameter (geometric, Poisson exponential), parameter simply estimated matching theoretical observed means, distributions characterized two parameters, parameters estimated matching theoretical observed means variances (Vose 2010). distributions, equation moments solved numerically using optim function minimizing sum squared differences observed theoretical moments (see fitdistrplus reference manual technical details (Delignette-Muller et al. 2014)). classical data set Danish insurance industry published McNeil (1997) used illustrate method. fitdistrplus, data set stored danishuni univariate version contains loss amounts collected Copenhagen Reinsurance 1980 1990. actuarial science, standard consider positive heavy-tailed distributions special focus right-tail distributions. numerical experiment, choose classic actuarial distributions loss modelling: lognormal distribution Pareto type II distribution (Klugman, Panjer, Willmot 2009). lognormal distribution fitted danishuni data set matching moments implemented closed-form formula. left-hand graph Figure 3.2, fitted distribution functions obtained using moment matching estimation (MME) maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) methods compared.

Furthermore, two distributions, MME method better fits right-tail distribution visual point view. seems logical since empirical moments influenced large observed values. previous traces, gave values goodness--fit statistics. Whatever statistic considered, MLE-fitted lognormal always provides best fit observed data. Maximum likelihood moment matching estimations certainly commonly used method fitting distributions (Cullen Frey 1999). Keeping mind two methods may produce different results, user aware great sensitivity outliers choosing moment matching estimation. may seen advantage example objective better describe right tail distribution, may seen drawback objective different. Fitting parametric distribution may also done matching theoretical quantiles parametric distributions (specified probabilities) empirical quantiles (Tse 2009). equality theoretical empirical quantiles expressed Equation (3.3) , similar Equations (3.1) (3.2): \\[\\begin{equation} F^{-1}(p_{k}|\\theta)=Q_{n,p_{k}}\\tag{3.3} \\end{equation}\\] \\(k=1,\\ldots,d\\), \\(d\\) number parameters estimate (dimension \\(\\theta\\) fixed parameters) \\(Q_{n,p_{k}}\\) empirical quantiles calculated data specified probabilities \\(p_{k}\\). Quantile matching estimation (QME) performed setting argument method \"qme\" call fitdist adding argument probs defining probabilities quantile matching performed (see Figure 3.3). length vector must equal number parameters estimate (vector moment orders MME). Empirical quantiles computed using quantile function stats package using type=7 default (see ?quantile Hyndman Fan (1996)). type quantile can easily changed using qty argument call qme function. quantile matching carried numerically, minimizing sum squared differences observed theoretical quantiles.

Analytical methods often lead semi-quantitative results referred censored data. Observations known limit detection left-censored data. Observations known limit quantification right-censored data. Results known lie two bounds interval-censored data. two bounds may correspond limit detection limit quantification, generally uncertainty bounds around observation. Right-censored data also commonly encountered survival data (Klein Moeschberger 2003). data set may thus contain right-, left-, interval-censored data, may mixture categories, possibly different upper lower bounds. Censored data sometimes excluded data analysis replaced fixed value, cases may lead biased results. recommended approach correctly model data based upon maximum likelihood Helsel (2005). Censored data may thus contain left-censored, right-censored interval-censored values, several lower upper bounds. use package fitdistrplus, data must coded dataframe two columns, respectively named left right, describing observed value interval. left column contains either NA left censored observations, left bound interval interval censored observations, observed value non-censored observations. right column contains either NA right censored observations, right bound interval interval censored observations, observed value non-censored observations. illustrate use package fitdistrplus fit distributions censored continous data, use another data set ecotoxicology, included package named salinity. data set contains acute salinity tolerance (LC50 values electrical conductivity, \\(mS\\).\\(cm^{-1}\\)) riverine macro-invertebrates taxa southern Murray-Darling Basin Central Victoria, Australia (Kefford et al. 2007).

Comparing 5% percentiles (HC5) calculated using three fits one calculated MLE fit Burr distribution, can observe, example, fitting lognormal distribution maximizing left tail Anderson-Darling distances first second order enables approach value obtained fitting Burr distribution MLE. moment matching estimation (MME) another method commonly used fit parametric distributions (Vose 2010). MME consists finding value parameter \\(\\theta\\) equalizes first theoretical raw moments parametric distribution corresponding empirical raw moments Equation (3.1): \\[\\begin{equation} E(X^{k}|\\theta)=\\frac{1}{n}\\sum_{=1}^{n}x_{}^{k},\\tag{3.1} \\end{equation}\\] \\(k=1,\\ldots,d\\), \\(d\\) number parameters estimate \\(x_{}\\) \\(n\\) observations variable \\(X\\). moments order greater equal 2, may also relevant match centered moments. Therefore, match moments given Equation (3.2): \\[\\begin{equation} E(X\\vert \\theta) = \\overline{x} ~,~E\\left((X-E(X))^{k}|\\theta\\right)=m_k, \\text{ } k=2,\\ldots,d,\\tag{3.2} \\end{equation}\\] \\(m_k\\) denotes empirical centered moments. method can performed setting argument method \"mme\" call fitdist. estimate computed closed-form formula following distributions: normal, lognormal, exponential, Poisson, gamma, logistic, negative binomial, geometric, beta uniform distributions. case, distributions characterized one parameter (geometric, Poisson exponential), parameter simply estimated matching theoretical observed means, distributions characterized two parameters, parameters estimated matching theoretical observed means variances (Vose 2010). distributions, equation moments solved numerically using optim function minimizing sum squared differences observed theoretical moments (see fitdistrplus reference manual technical details (Delignette-Muller et al. 2014)). classical data set Danish insurance industry published McNeil (1997) used illustrate method. fitdistrplus, data set stored danishuni univariate version contains loss amounts collected Copenhagen Reinsurance 1980 1990. actuarial science, standard consider positive heavy-tailed distributions special focus right-tail distributions. numerical experiment, choose classic actuarial distributions loss modelling: lognormal distribution Pareto type II distribution (Klugman, Panjer, Willmot 2009). lognormal distribution fitted danishuni data set matching moments implemented closed-form formula. left-hand graph Figure 3.2, fitted distribution functions obtained using moment matching estimation (MME) maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) methods compared.

Furthermore, two distributions, MME method better fits right-tail distribution visual point view. seems logical since empirical moments influenced large observed values. previous traces, gave values goodness--fit statistics. Whatever statistic considered, MLE-fitted lognormal always provides best fit observed data. Maximum likelihood moment matching estimations certainly commonly used method fitting distributions (Cullen Frey 1999). Keeping mind two methods may produce different results, user aware great sensitivity outliers choosing moment matching estimation. may seen advantage example objective better describe right tail distribution, may seen drawback objective different. Fitting parametric distribution may also done matching theoretical quantiles parametric distributions (specified probabilities) empirical quantiles (Tse 2009). equality theoretical empirical quantiles expressed Equation (3.3) , similar Equations (3.1) (3.2): \\[\\begin{equation} F^{-1}(p_{k}|\\theta)=Q_{n,p_{k}}\\tag{3.3} \\end{equation}\\] \\(k=1,\\ldots,d\\), \\(d\\) number parameters estimate (dimension \\(\\theta\\) fixed parameters) \\(Q_{n,p_{k}}\\) empirical quantiles calculated data specified probabilities \\(p_{k}\\). Quantile matching estimation (QME) performed setting argument method \"qme\" call fitdist adding argument probs defining probabilities quantile matching performed (see Figure 3.3). length vector must equal number parameters estimate (vector moment orders MME). Empirical quantiles computed using quantile function stats package using type=7 default (see ?quantile Hyndman Fan (1996)). type quantile can easily changed using qty argument call qme function. quantile matching carried numerically, minimizing sum squared differences observed theoretical quantiles.

Analytical methods often lead semi-quantitative results referred censored data. Observations known limit detection left-censored data. Observations known limit quantification right-censored data. Results known lie two bounds interval-censored data. two bounds may correspond limit detection limit quantification, generally uncertainty bounds around observation. Right-censored data also commonly encountered survival data (Klein Moeschberger 2003). data set may thus contain right-, left-, interval-censored data, may mixture categories, possibly different upper lower bounds. Censored data sometimes excluded data analysis replaced fixed value, cases may lead biased results. recommended approach correctly model data based upon maximum likelihood Helsel (2005). Censored data may thus contain left-censored, right-censored interval-censored values, several lower upper bounds. use package fitdistrplus, data must coded dataframe two columns, respectively named left right, describing observed value interval. left column contains either NA left censored observations, left bound interval interval censored observations, observed value non-censored observations. right column contains either NA right censored observations, right bound interval interval censored observations, observed value non-censored observations. illustrate use package fitdistrplus fit distributions censored continous data, use another data set ecotoxicology, included package named salinity. data set contains acute salinity tolerance (LC50 values electrical conductivity, \\(mS\\).\\(cm^{-1}\\)) riverine macro-invertebrates taxa southern Murray-Darling Basin Central Victoria, Australia (Kefford et al. 2007).
