چکیده

Definition 1 (Partition) A collection of sets {H1, . . . ,HK} is a partition of another set H if 1. the events are disjoint, which we write as Hi ∩Hj = ∅ for i 6= j; 2. the union of the sets is H, which we write as ∪k=1Hk = H. In the context of identifying which of several statements is true, if H is the set of all possible truths and {H1, . . . ,HK} is a partition of H, then exactly one out of {H1, . . . ,HK} contains the truth. ∗Departments of Statistics, Biostatistics and the Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195-4322.

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...

Some Perspectives of Machine Repair Problems

In this article, we survey machine repair problems (MRP) with an emphasis on historical developments of queuing models of practical importance. The survey proceeds historically, starting with developments in 1985, when the first published review on machine interference models appeared. We attempt to elaborate some basic MRP models of the real life congestion situations. The brief survey of some...

Evaluation of estimation methods for parameters of the probability functions in tree diameter distribution modeling

One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...

An Adaptive Approach to Increase Accuracy of Forward Algorithm for Solving Evaluation Problems on Unstable Statistical Data Set

Nowadays, Hidden Markov models are extensively utilized for modeling stochastic processes. These models help researchers establish and implement the desired theoretical foundations using Markov algorithms such as Forward one. however, Using Stability hypothesis and the mean statistic for determining the values of Markov functions on unstable statistical data set has led to a significant reducti...
