Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Calculating the Hougaard Measure of Skewness in a Nonlinear Regression Model with Two ParametersS. A. EL-ShehawyProblem statement: This study presented an alternative computational algorithm for determining the values of the Hougaard measure of skewness as a nonlinearity measure in a Nonlinear Regression model (NLR-model) with two parameters. Approach: These values indicated a degree of a nonlinear behavior in the estimator of the parameter in a NLR-model. Results: We applied the suggested algorithm on an example … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural Networks Based Modeling and Control of Continuous Stirred Tank ReactorR. Suja Mani Malar, T. ThyagarajanContinuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is one of the common reactors in chemical plant. Problem statement: Developing a model incorporating the nonlinear dynamics of the system warrants lot of computation. An efficient control of the product concentration can be achieved only through accurate model. Approach: In this study, attempts were made to alleviate the above mentioned problem using &#34Artificial Intelligence&#34 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Stability and Ultimate Boundedness of Solutions for Certain Third Order Differential EquationsA.T. Ademola, P.O. ArawomoProblem Statement: With respect to our observation in the relevant literature, work on stability and boundedness of solution for certain third order nonlinear differential equations where the nonlinear and the forcing terms depend on certain variables are scare. The objective of this study was to get criteria for stability and boundedness of solutions for these classes of differential equations. Approach: … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFace Recognition Based on Nonlinear Feature ApproachEimad E.A. Abusham, Andrew T.B. Jin, Wong E. Kiong, G. DebashisFeature extraction techniques are widely used to reduce the complexity high dimensional data. Nonlinear feature extraction via Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) has attracted much attention due to their high performance. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach for face recognition to address the challenging task of recognition using integration of nonlinear dimensional reduction Locally Linear Embedding integrated with Local … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMINLP Optimization of Mechanical StructuresS. Šilih, T. Žula, Z. Kravanja, S. KravanjaWe presented optimization of mechanical structures, performed by the Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) optimization approach. The MINLP is a combined continuous/discrete optimization technique, where a structural topology and standard/discrete sizes are optimized simultaneously with the continuous variables. Ddiscrete binary 0-1 variables were used to express the discrete decisions. For solution of this non-linear, continuous/discrete and non-convex MINLP class of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,129 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study on the Effect of Linear Friction of Long-Wave Propagation and Breaking with Sloping BottomAgustinus RibalIn this study, we investigate the breaking of long-waves propagating on shallow water with linear friction on the sloping bottom. A complete set of equations is presented and a numerical method is developed to simulate the wave propagation. The method uses an up-wind difference scheme for the nonlinear convective term and the central difference scheme for other derivative terms. Various … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Harmonic Components on Transformer Losses of Sinusoidal Source Supplying Non-Linear LoadsI. Daut, H. S. Syafruddin, Rosnazri Ali et al.An important consideration when evaluating the impact of harmonics is their effect on power system component and loads. Transformers are major components in power systems. The increased losses due to harmonic distortion can cause excessive losses and hence abnormal temperature rise. The measurement of iron losses and copper losses of single-phase transformers is important in particular for transformers feeding nonlinear … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ-Spline Estimation in a Semiparametric Regression Model with Nonlinear Time Series ErrorsJinhong You, Gemai Chen, Xian ZhouWe study the estimation problems for a partly linear regression model with a nonlinear time series error structure. The model consists of a parametric linear component for the regression coefficients and a nonparametric nonlinear component. The random errors are unobservable and modeled by a first-order Markov bilinear process. Based on a B-spline series approximation of the nonlinear component function, we … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Investigation of the Relationship among Analyst Following, Managerial Ownership and Firm Valuation: From the Perspective of Agency TheoryI. J. ChenIn this study, the relationship among analyst following, managerial ownership and firm valuation is investigated from the perspective of agency theory by using a nonlinear simultaneous equation model. The data from the Taiwan stock market verify the proposed hypotheses with a nonlinear three-stage least-square procedure. The empirical results show that managerial ownership (serving an internal monitoring function) and number of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
