Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinding the Envelope and Efficient Frontier of Financial AssetsFarida Kachapova, Ilias KachapovProblem statement: One of the problems considered in financial mathematics is finding portfolios of given financial assets that minimize risk for targeted returns. The set of such portfolios is called the envelope of the assets. Traditionally this problem is solved as a calculus minimization problem involving partial derivatives and Lagrange multipliers. Approach: In this study we describe an invariant geometric … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2012 · 9,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of the Maize (Zea mays)-Mucuna (Mucuna deeringianum Bort) AgroecosystemCarlos Ernesto Aguilar-Jimenez, Alfredo Tolon-Becerra, Xavier Lastra-BravoProblem statement: In Selva de Chiapas, Mexico, the traditional farming technique of slash-fell-burn used on hillside fields has caused severe soil deterioration. Consequently, indigenous farmers reacted by developing several agroecological practices that improve the physical, chemical and biological fertility of the soils. Standing out among these techniques is the use of Mucuna (Mucuna deeringianum Bort.) in rotation with maize (Zea … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2012 · 7,990 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Qualitative Analysis of Independent Component Analysis Based Algorithms for the Removal of Artifacts from Electroencephalography SignalsBalaiah Paulchamy, Ilavennila, Jayabalan JayaProblem statement: Independent Component Analysis (ICA) based algorithms applied in the context to remove the artifacts from the EEG signals are evaluated with appropriate metrics and it compares and contrasts the performance of the different methods for such applications. The primary goal is to gain some insight into relative performance of the various methods. Approach: CA is a statistical and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 6 Jan 2012 · 6,986 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplete Convergence of Exchangeable SequencesGeorge StoicaWe prove that exchangeable sequences converge completely in the Baum-Katz sense under the same conditions as i.i.d. sequences do. Problem statement: The research was needed as the rate of convergence in the law of large numbers for exchangeable sequences was previously obtained under restricted hypotheses. Approach: We applied powerful techniques involving inequalities for independent sequences of random variables. Results: We … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 7,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMoments of Order Statistics from Nonidentically Distributed Three Parameters Beta typeI and Erlang Truncated Exponential VariablesA. A. Jamjoom, Z. A. AL-SaiaryProblem statement: Moments of order statistics of independent non-identically distributed (INID) random variables is not an easy subject to deal with for continuous distributions. One is forced to use messy algebraic calculations (whether one uses permanents or not). This was the motivation behind this study. In this study the moments of order statistics arising from independent nonidentically distributed three parameters … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,377 accessesView PDFCite
