Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATION OF WEIBULL PARAMETERS USING A RANDOMIZED NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE SEVERITY OF FIRE ACCIDENTSSoontorn Boonta, Anchalee Sattayatham, Pairote SattayathamIn this study, we applied Randomized Neighborhood Search (RNS) to estimate the Weibull parameters to determine the severity of fire accidents; the data were provided by the Thai Reinsurance Public Co., Ltd. We compared this technique with other frequently-used techniques: the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), the Method of Moments (MOM), the Least Squares Method (LSM) and the weighted least squares … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Family of Logarithmic Lifetime DistributionsSaid Hofan AlkarniIn this study a new lifetime class with decreasing failure rate is introduced by compounding truncated logarithmic distribution with any proper continuous lifetime distribution. The properties of the proposed class are discussed, including a formal proof of itsprobability density function, distribution function and explicit algebraic formulae for its reliability and failure rate functions. A simple EM-type algorithm for iteratively computing … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2012 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOne-Sided Multivariate Tests for High Dimensional DataSamruam ChongcharoenProblem statement: For a multivariate normal population with size smaller than dimension, n<p, the likelihood ratio tests of the null hypothesis that the mean vector was zero with a one-sided alternative were no longer valid because they involved with sample covariance matrix which was singular. Approach: The test statistics for one-sided multivariate hypotheses with n<p were proposed. Results: The simulation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2012 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Multi Spectral Band Image Compression using Discrete Wavelet TransformR. Kousalyadevi, S. S. RamakrishnanProblem statement: Efficient and effective utilization of transmission bandwidth and storage capacity have been a core area of research for remote sensing images. Hence image compression is required for multi-band satellite imagery. In addition, image quality is also an important factor after compression and reconstruction. Approach: In this investigation, the discrete wavelet transform is used to compress the Landsat5 agriculture … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasures of Explained Variation and the Base-Rate Problem for Logistic RegressionDinesh Sharma, Dan McGee, B.M. Golam KibriaProblem statement: Logistic regression, perhaps the most frequently used regression model after the General Linear Model (GLM), is extensively used in the field of medical science to analyze prognostic factors in studies of dichotomous outcomes. Unlike the GLM, many different proposals have been made to measure the explained variation in logistic regression analysis. One of the limitations of these measures … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2012 · 8,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSymbol Timing Estimation in Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing based Ultrawide band SystemM. N. Suresh, S. J. Thiruvengadam, V. AbhaikumarProblem statement: The Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) Based Ultra Wideband system (UWB) is highly susceptible to symbol timing error. Symbol timing estimation in MB-OFDM based UWB is difficult due to the presence of strongest path at delayed instant. Approach: Symbol timing estimation has two steps namely a coarse estimation and a fine estimation. In this study, a maximum … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Feb 2012 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreenhouse Gas Emissions: Quantifying Methane Emissions from LivestockRafiu O. Yusuf, Zainura Z. Noor, Ahmad H. Abba et al.Problem statement: The rearing of animals for domestic consumption and export invariably lead to the production of methane as a product of digestion. This study investigated the emission of methane from Malaysian livestock between 1980 and 2008. Approach: Seven categories of animals identified were camel, buffalo, sheep, goats, horse, pigs and poultry. The estimation of methane was based on the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2012 · 9,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIs Wright Test an Appropriate Screening Test for Diagnosis of Brucellosis?Behzad Mohsenpour, Shahla Afrasiabian, Katayoon Hajibagheri, Ebrahim GhaderiProblem statement: Diagnosis of brucellosis is generally based on culture, polymerase chain reaction and serology. The first two methods are not accessible in all parts of world and are expensive. The routine method for diagnosis of brucellosis is considering Wright test as the first screening test; if the results are Wright positive’ Wright would be the next choice otherwise 2ME … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 16,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of the Parameters of the Stochastic Differential Equations Black-Scholes Model Share Price of GoldKhaldi Khaled, Meddahi SamiaProblem statement: The estimation of the parameters is one of main problems of the dynamic models in many scientific fields and particularly in economics and finance. In this study, we examine the techniques of estimation of the parameters of the Black-Scholes model. These techniques are based on the function of probability. Approach: The two estimations are based on the likelihood … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2010 · 7,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Automatic Collocation Extraction from Arabic CorpusAbdulgabbar Mohammad Saif, Mohd J.A. AzizProblem statement: The identification of collocations is very important part in natural language processing applications that require some degree of semantic interpretation such as, machine translation, information retrieval and text summarization. Because of the complexities of Arabic, the collocations undergo some variations such as, morphological, graphical, syntactic variation that constitutes the difficulties of identifying the collocation. Approach: We used the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2010 · 8,281 accessesView PDFCite
