Estimation of the number of Welsh speakers in England
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The number of Welsh speakers in England is a topic of interest as they must represent the major part of the Welsh-speaking diaspora. Their numbers have been the matter of speculation. To try to produce a reliable estimate of their numbers we have used the ONS Longitudinal Study (LS), a record linkage study containing census information on a 1 per cent sample of the population of Wales and England, to throw light on the issue.

Modeling of the Maximum Entropy Problem as an Optimal Control Problem and its Application to Pdf Estimation of Electricity Price
In this paper, the continuous optimal control theory is used to model and solve the maximum entropy problem for a continuous random variable. The maximum entropy principle provides a method to obtain least-biased probability density function (Pdf) estimation. In this paper, to find a closed form solution for the maximum entropy problem with any number of moment constraints, the entropy is consi...

Fluency in a second language (L2) involves a quintessentially cognitive processing system that operates quickly and effectively. The perceived importance of researching fluency through a psycholinguistic lens has motivated the related L2 research to resort to current cognitive speaking-specific models. This study, drawing on Levelt’s (1999a) psycholinguistic model, probed the deficiency sources...

In this paper we propose the spatial sparsity based WCSSDOA method for multi speakers' Direction of arrival estimation. In the proposed method the sparse modeling is done based on the sensor signals' correlation matrix, which leads to low computational complexity. In this method the SVD decomposition of the noise covariance matrix is proposed to reach the free noise sparse model, which leads to...
متن کاملInvestigating the Predominant Levels of Learning Objectives in General English Books
This study investigated nine General English books (five produced by non-native Iranian speakers and four produced by native speakers) in terms of learning objectives in Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy (2001). The aim was to find out which levels of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy are dominant in the books. So, the contents of the books were codified based on a coding scheme designed by Razmjoo and Kazempurf...
