Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuarter-Sweep Projected Modified Gauss-Seidel Algorithm Applied to Linear Complementarity ProblemW. S. Koh, J. Sulaiman, R. MailProblem statement: Modified Gauss-Seidel (MGS) was developed in order to improve the convergence rate of classical iterative method in solving linear system. In solving linear system iteratively, it takes longer time when many computational points involved. It is known that by applying quarter-sweep iteration scheme, it can decrease the computational operations without altering the accuracy. In this study, we investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLinear Regression Model Selection Based on Robust Bootstrapping TechniqueHassan S. Uraibi, Habshah Midi, Bashar A. Talib, Jabar H. YousifProblem statement: Bootstrap approach had introduced new advancement in modeling and model evaluation. It was a computer intensive method that can replace theoretical formulation with extensive use of computer. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method often used to estimate the parameters of the regression models in the bootstrap procedure. Unfortunately, many statistics practitioners are not aware of the fact that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Speech Recognition Using Fusion Techniques and Adaptive FilteringS. A.R. Al-Haddad, S. A. Samad, A. Hussain et al.The study proposes an algorithm for noise cancellation by using recursive least square (RLS) and pattern recognition by using fusion method of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Speech signals are often corrupted with background noise and the changes in signal characteristics could be fast. These issues are especially important for robust speech recognition. Robustness is a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of the Daily Mean PM10 Concentrations Using Linear ModelsJ. C.M. Pires, F. G. Martins, S. I.V. Sousa et al.The performance of five linear models to predict the daily mean PM10 concentrations was compared. The linear models proposed were: (i) multiple linear regression; (ii) principal component regression; (iii) independent component regression; (iv) quantile regression; and (v) partial least squares regression. The study was based on data from an urban site in Oporto Metropolitan Area and the analysed period was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol in Binary Mixture Using Chemometric-Assisted Spectrophotometric MethodsWafaa S. HassanThree methods are presented for simultaneous determination of ibuprofen and paracetamol without previous separation. The first method depends on first derivative UV spectrophotometry, with zero-crossing measurement. The first derivative amplitudes at 230 and 290 nm were selected for the assay of ibuprofen and paracetamol, respectively. The second method depends on first derivative of the ratio-spectra by measurements of the amplitudes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,199 accessesView PDFCite

Data collection was through well structured questionnaire administered on 100 respondents selected through random sampling technique. The methods of analysis used were descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis and production function analysis using … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Performances of the OLS and some GLS Estimators when Stochastic Regressors are both Collinear and Correlated with Error TermsKayode AyindeThe Classical Linear Regression Model assumes that regressors are non – stochastic, independent and uncorrelated with the error terms. These assumptions are not always tenable especially where regressors are not often assumed fixed in repeated sampling. In this paper, with stochastic regressors, the performances of the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and some Generalized Least Square (GLS) estimators are investigated and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,343 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFast Iterative Frequential Equalization, Application to Mobile CommunicationsM. T. Taba, S. Femmam, M. BeddaThe Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) is a promising approach in the improvement of the wireless communication systems. Since it makes possible to reduce interferences ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) and CCI (Co-Channel Interference) but its disadvantage is the intensive treatment which reduces the speed of convergence of the algorithm LMS (Least Mean Square) and SMI (Sampling Matrix Inversion).

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecreational Viagra Use and Sexual Risk among Drug Abusing MenDennis G. Fisher, Robert Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Until recently, the Viagra connection to HIV was anchored in older adults. However, CDC investigation showed stability in 50+ HIV diagnoses on the heels of upward trends in risk indicators among men who have sex with men (MSM) and substance abusing populations. Signs have increasingly pointed to recreational drug use among younger populations, to which Viagra is being added to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,605 accessesView PDFCite
