Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractData-Driven Forecasting Schemes: Evaluation and ApplicationsJosip Vrbanek Jr, Wilson WangA reliable multi-step predictor is very useful to a wide array of applications to forecast the behavior of dynamic systems. The objective of this paper is to develop a more robust data-driven predictor for time series forecasting. Based on simulation analysis, it is found that multi-step-ahead forecasting schemes based on step inputs perform better than those based on sequential inputs. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of Modified Shanks’ Conjecture and Comments on its ValidityN. Gangatharan, T.C. ChuahThis study reports the validity of the modified Shanks’ conjecture on the planar least squares inverse (PLSI) method of stabilizing two-dimensional (2-D) recursive digital filters. A theoretical procedure proposed based on the Lagrange multiplier method of mathematical optimization. The results indicate that the modified Shanks’ conjecture reported by Jury was valid for special classes of 2-D polynomials. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-series Evidence for Export-led Growth Paradigm: A Case Study of ZimbabweCyril A. OgbokorThe study addresses empirically the Export-led Growth Hypothesis (ELGH) using Zimbabwe as a case study. This research work attempts to provide some evidence in this regard by examining the influence of trade on economic growth in the economy and ascertaining if the regressors utilised are good predictors of growth. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method is resorted in order to estimate … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,453 accessesView PDFCite
