Emergent constraints indicate slower increases in future global evapotranspiration by Chai, Y, Yue, Y, Slater, L, Miao, C

“…Here, we uncover bivariate emergent constraint relationships between projected global ET trends (2015–2100) and historical vapour pressure deficit (VPD) trends (1980–2014) under the low emission scenario of SSP126 when water supply is sufficient, and with historical precipitation trends under the high emission scenarios of SSP370 and SSP585 when water availability is limited, across 28 CMIP6 models. …”

Robust parameter estimation for one-inflated positive Poisson Lindley distribution under the presence and absence of outliers with applications to crime data by Mohd Tajuddin, Razik Ridzuan, Mohd Safari, Muhammad Aslam, Ismail, Noriszura

“…Hence, several estimators: maximum likelihood, method of moments, ordinary least squares, weighted least squares, Cramér-Von Mises, modified Cramér-Von Mises (MCVM) and maximum product of spacing (MPS); for the parameters of the model are also proposed and investigated in terms of unbiasedness, consistency and joint efficiency under the presence and absence of outliers. When the outliers are absent, the MPS estimator is the best estimator and when the outliers are present, the MCVM estimator is the best estimator. …”
