[Tftb-help] Reassigned Zhao-Atlas-Marks?

[Sean A Fulop]

I notice that the TFTB includes a number of reassigned distributions, applying the theory of Auger and Flandrin (1995).  The ZAM distribution, however, is not given a reassigned version.  I believe that the original theoretical approach could potentially be applied to it, though it is probably beyond my skills to calculate what the reassignment operator should be.

On the other hand, it appears that the ZAM is actually implemented as an approximation, since the theoretical distribution is not practical to implement literally (as explained by Boashash somewhere).  So, this poses a problem for developing a reassigned implementation.  How does one reassign an approximate distribution?

I am very interested to obtain a reassigned ZAM distribution, so if anyone cares to offer a tip, I will be listening.

Thanks,

Sean
