چکیده

We have discussed graphical models. Graphical models are a formalism for representing families of probability distributions. They are connected to efficient algorithms for computing marginals, conditionals, and other properties of the family. We now turn to the central question: How can we use joint probability distributions to make meaningful statements about observed data? (A) In a statistical model, the data are represented as observed random variables a joint distribution that also involves hidden random variables. We calculate the conditional distribution of the hidden variables given the observed variables. This conditional tells us about the data and helps form predictions. (B) In a statistical model, the data are represented as shaded nodes in a graph-ical model that also involves unshaded nodes. We perform probabilistic inference of the unshaded nodes. This inference tells us about the data and helps form predictions. Observed: nucleotides; Hidden: whether they are associated with genes.

Statistical Inference in Autoregressive Models with Non-negative Residuals

Normal residual is one of the usual assumptions of autoregressive models but in practice sometimes we are faced with non-negative residuals case. In this paper we consider some autoregressive models with non-negative residuals as competing models and we have derived the maximum likelihood estimators of parameters based on the modified approach and EM algorithm for the competing models. Also,...

Investigating electrochemical drilling (ECD) using statistical and soft computing techniques

In the present study, five modeling approaches of RA, MLP, MNN, GFF, and CANFIS were applied so as to estimate the radial overcut values in electrochemical drilling process. For these models, four input variables, namely electrolyte concentration, voltage, initial machining gap, and tool feed rate, were selected. The developed models were evaluated in terms of their prediction capability with m...

Probability Modeling of Synthetic Theories in Economics

Economic theories seek a scientific explanation or prediction of economic phenomena using a set of axiom, defined expressions, and theorems. Mathematically explicit economic models are one of these theories. Due to the unknown structure of each model, the existence of measurement error in economic committees and failure of Ceteris Paribus; the Synthetic of any economic theory requires probabili...
