چکیده

A systematic approach is presented for fitting empirical expressions to da ta depending on two variables. The problem can also be described as the simultaneous fitting of a family of curves depending on a parameter . The proposed method reduces a surface fitting problem to t h a t of fitting a few functions of one variable each. First , t he surface is expressed in terms of these one-variable functions, and using an extension of two-way analysis of variance, the accuracy of this fit is assessed wi thout having to determine, at this point, the na ture of the one-variable functions. Then, t he one-variable functions are fitted by customary curve-fitting procedures. For i l lustration, t he method is applied to two sets of experimental da ta .

On the Elliptic Curves of the Form $y^2 = x^3 − pqx$

‎By the Mordell‎- ‎Weil theorem‎, ‎the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a number field is a finitely generated abelian group‎. ‎This paper studies the rank of the family Epq:y2=x3-pqx of elliptic curves‎, ‎where p and q are distinct primes‎. ‎We give infinite families of elliptic curves of the form y2=x3-pqx with rank two‎, ‎three and four‎, ‎assuming a conjecture of Schinzel ...

Determining the Discriminant Validity of Family Cohesion and Flexibility Subscales and a Cutoff Score to Separate the Healthy and Clinical Groups

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the discriminant validity of family adaptability and cohesion evaluation subscales. We investigated families referring to counseling, family courts, substance dependence treatment centers, and healthy and clinically defined cutoff scores for the breakdown of healthy Iranian families.  Methods This scale was validated by four psychologists and translated ...

Simultaneous analysis of families of sigmoidal curves: application to bioassay, radioligand assay, and physiological dose-response curves.

Physiological and pharmacological studies of hormones, drugs, and neurotransmitters often generate families of sigmoidal dose-response curves. Optimally efficient data analysis should involve simultaneous description of all curves, rather than fitting each one individually. We have developed a general computerized method to describe the dose-response curves in terms of basal and maximal respons...

Probabilistic Approach to the Seismic Vulnerability of RC Frame Structures by the Development of Analytical Fragility Curves

Fragility curves are very useful in quantifying the physical and economic damage of buildings that have undergone an earthquake. This paper presents the development of analytical fragility curves representative of mid-rise residential structures built with reinforced concrete, taking into account the specific structural characteristics of Algerian buildings. The derivation of the analytical fra...
