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 · 8,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Enhancement of Underwater Target Tracking by Fusing Data of Array of Global Positioning System SonobuoysAhmed El-Shafie, Abdallah Osman, Aboelmagd Noureldin, Aini HussainProblem statement: An accurate knowledge of geographic positions of sonobuoys is critical for the conduct of antisubmarine warfare operations and detected target localization. Deployed from an airborne platform or a surface vessel, arrays of sonobuoys could be used to efficiently track and localize submarines. Lastly, some sonobuoys were being equipped with GPS for improving system accuracy and potentially allowing networked … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,475 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgent Based Grid Resource Discovery with Negotiated Alternate Solution and Non-Functional Requirement PreferencesP. Muthuchelvi, G.S. Anandha Mala, V. RamachandranProblem statement: As grid resources are geographically distributed, efficient resource discovery and management has become one of the important requirements. Besides, Grid users are independent identities and negotiation is necessary for reconciling their diverse characteristics. Therefore special mechanism was required to negotiate and discover the required resource or similar resource as an alternative when discovery fails. Moreover the quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
