Estimation of distribution parameters from statistically limited information; muons in KASCADE experiment
Abstract
Description
The problem of the estimation of distribution parameters in the case of experimentally limited information is discussed. As an example the determination of the total number of muons in Extensive Air Showers registered in the KASCADE experiment is studied in details. Some methods based on other than standard maximum-likelihood approach are examined. The advantages of the new methods are shown. The comparison with the Artificial Neural Network approach is also given.
