Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting Foreign Direct Investment Inflow in Jordan: Univariate ARIMA ModelAl-Abdulrazag Bashier, Bataineh TalalThe present study is an attempt to build a Univariate time series model to forecast the FDI inflows into Jordan over the coming period 2004-2025. The study employs Box-Jenkins methodology of building ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) model to achieve the goals of the study. An annual sample time series data for the FDI in Jordan was utilized over the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObserved Abrupt Changes in Minimum and Maximum Temperatures in Jordan in the 20th CenturyMahmoud M. SmadiThis study examines changes in annual and seasonal mean (minimum and maximum) temperatures variations in Jordan during the 20th century.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Approaches for Predicting Break Indices in Mandarin Speech SynthesisShao Yan-qiu, Zhao Yong-zhen, Han Ji-qing, Liu TingThis study adopts a large-scale corpus with five-tier break indices annotated according to C-TOBI. Based on it, several approaches, N-gram, Markov model and decision tree learning are applied to predict break indices automatically for unrestricted mandarin text. These approaches differ mutually not only in model, but also on features and even part-of-speech tag size. A deep comparison and analysis among … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstrained Probabilistic Lost Sales Inventory System with Normal Distribution and Varying Order CostHala, A. Fergany, Mona, F. EL-WakeelThis study derives the probabilistic lost sales inventory system when the order cost is a function of the order quantity. Our objective is to minimize the expected annual total cost under a restriction on the expected annual holding cost when the lead-time demand follows the normal distribution by using the Lagrangian method. Then a published special case is deduced and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,195 accessesView PDFCite
