Practical Unit-Root Analysis Using Information Criteria: Simulation Evidence

Information-theoretic Criteria for Unit Selection Synthesis1

In our recent work on concatenative speech synthesis, we have devised an efficient, graph-based search to perform unit selection given symbolic information. By encapsulating concatenation and substitution costs defined at the class level, the graph expands only linearly with respect to corpus size. To date, these costs were manually tuned over pre-specified classes, which was a knowledgeintensi...

A Study of Testing Mean Reversion in the Inflation Rate of Iran’s Provinces: New Evidence Using Quantile Unit Root Test

T his paper is to examine the mean reverting properties of inflation rates for Iran’s 25 provinces over the period from 1990:4 to 2017:7. To the end, we use various conventional univariate linear and non-linear unit root tests, as well as quantile unit root test by Koenker and Xiao (2004). Results of conventional unit root tests indicate that the null hypothesis of the unit root test...

Improving farming practices using multi-criteria decision analysis in geographic information system for Damask Rose cultivating

Lack of awareness of the critical factors involved in production of plants and sometimes, the cultivation of plants in areas unsusceptible to plant, can increase the amount of chemical fertilizer consumption in order to compensate the subsequent reduction of plant yield. This would increase environmental pollution. Thus, identifying of suitable areas where could supply plants initial needs of t...

Simulation, Control and Experimental Analysis of 1,3Butadiene Purification Unit

Simulation of a process and analysis of its resulting data in both dynamic and steady-state conditions are fundamental steps in understanding the process in order to design and efficient control of system as well as implementing operational cost reduction scheme. In the present paper, steady and unsteady state simulation of Amir Kabir1, 3 butadiene purification units has been done by using Aspe...
