Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Robust Rescaled Moment Test for Normality in RegressionMd. Sohel Rana, Habshah Midi, A.H.M. Rahmatullah ImonProblem statement: Most of the statistical procedures heavily depend on normality assumption of observations. In regression, we assumed that the random disturbances were normally distributed. Since the disturbances were unobserved, normality tests were done on regression residuals. But it is now evident that normality tests on residuals suffer from superimposed normality and often possess very poor power. Approach: This study … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Robust Modification of the Goldfeld-Quandt Test for the Detection of Heteroscedasticity in the Presence of OutliersMd. Sohel Rana, Habshah Midi, A.H.M. Rahmatullah ImonProblem statement: The problem of heteroscedasticity occurs in regression analysis for many practical reasons. It is now evident that the heteroscedastic problem affects both the estimation and test procedure of regression analysis, so it is really important to be able to detect this problem for possible remedy. The existence of a few extreme or unusual observations that we often call … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecentralized Controller Design for Static Synchronous Compensator Using Robust Quantitative Feedback Theory MethodSeyed Abbas Taher, Reza Hematti, Ali Abdolalipour, Majid NematiThe Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) provides shunt compensation in similar way to the Static VAR Compensator (SVC) but utilizes a voltage source converter rather than capacitors and reactor. In practice systems use simple Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers for control of STATCOM. However, since the PI control parameters were usually tuned based on classical or trial-and-error approaches, they were incapable of obtaining … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Value of Serologic Tests for Diagnosis and Follow up of Patients having BrucellosisNidia E. Lucero, Sandra M. Ayala, Gabriela I. Escobar, N R. JacobThough diagnosis of human brucellosis is accurate when the causal agent is isolated, this procedure is not always successful and the most of patients are diagnosed on the basis of rising titres of antibodies in serum. The classical tests used for detection of antibodies to S-Brucella sp., include Rose Bengal (RBT), buffered plate antigen (BPAT), serum agglutination (SAT), 2-mercapto-ethanol (2MET) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetecting Malaysian Housing BubblesYip Chee Yin, Wong Woei Chyuan, Woo Kok HoongThis paper examines whether Malaysia is facing an impending housing bubble by using a graphical analysis, logical deduction and two statistical tests. Our research results are robust and supported by a three prone approach: Logical deduction working on the historical price trend based on most recent research findings on bubble; testing the stability of the price cycle and a statistical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 20 Mar 2016 · 8,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWireless Body Area Sensor Networks Signal Processing and Communication Framework: Survey on Sensing, Communication Technologies, Delivery and FeedbackKhalid Abu Al-Saud, Massudi Mahmuddin, Amr MohamedProblem statement: The Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASNs) is a wireless network used for communication among sensor nodes operating on or inside the human body in order to monitor vital body parameters and movements. This study surveys the state-of-the-art on Wireless Body Area Networks, discussing the major components of research in this area including physiological sensing and preprocessing, WBASNs … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 1 Nov 2011 · 9,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Pecan Weevils through Image ProcessingS.M. Al-Saqer, P. Weckler, J. Solie et al.Abstract: Problem Statement: Pecan weevil is one of the most destructive pests of Oklahoma. The scope of this study is to develop a recognition system that can serve in a wireless imaging network for monitoring pecan weevils. Approach: The recognition methods used in this study are based on template matching. Five recognition methods were implemented: Normalized cross-correlation, Fourier descriptors, Zernike … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Resonance Theory Training Parameters: Pretty Good SetsTaisir Mohammad Eldos, Abdulaziz Suleiman AlmazyadProblem statement: ART1 artificial neural networks offer good tools for test clustering, where no expert is needed if the system is well trained. However, having no output reference for the input patterns makes it hard to judge the quality of the training. Moreover, the performance depends to a great extent on a set of training parameters. Designers follow some recommendations … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDensity Power Downweighting and Robust Inference: Some New StrategiesSaptarshi Roy, Kaustav Chakraborty, Somnath Bhadra, Ayanendranath BasuPreserving the robustness of the procedure has, at the present time, become almost a default requirement for statistical data analysis. Since efficiency at the model and robustness under misspecification of the model are often in conflict, it is important to choose such inference procedures which provide the best compromise between these two concepts. Some minimum Bregman divergence estimators and related … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 8 Dec 2019 · 7,709 accessesView PDFCite
