EstimationMethod Enumeration

See Also 
Represents the possible methods for estimating the parameters of a distribution.

Namespace: Extreme.Statistics.Distributions
Assembly: Extreme.Numerics.Net40 (in Extreme.Numerics.Net40.dll) Version: 4.2.11333.0 (4.2.12253.0)

Syntax

C# 
                      public enum EstimationMethod
Visual Basic (Declaration) 
                      Public Enumeration EstimationMethod
Visual C++ 
                      public enum class EstimationMethod
F# 
                      type EstimationMethod

Members

Member name Value Description
Default 0 Use the default method for the distribution. This may be either a maximum likelihood or matching moments, whichever is available.
MatchingMoments 1 Estimate the parameters such that the moments of the distribution match the moments of the variable's distribution.
MaximumLikelihood 2 Estimate the parameters using the method of maximum likelihood.

Remarks

Pass an EstimationMethod value as a parameter to the staticSharedstaticstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Estimate method of a probability distribution.
