We develop analytical approximations to bootstrap distribution functions of statistics that are smooth functions of vector means. In particular, our technique is applicable in the case of bootstrap ...

The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...

Unless sufficient evidence to the contrary exists, the exponential distribution is often assumed as a model for the failure density function in reliability predictions. The generalized gamma ...
