Abstract: In this survey, a short introduction of the recent discovery of log-normally-distributed market-technical trend data will be given. The results of the statistical evaluation of typical market-technical trend variables will be presented. It will be shown that the log-normal assumption fits better to empirical trend data than to daily returns of stock prices. This enables one to mathema...

Social functions are natural consequences of human societies. Before communication technologies, social functions tend to evolve within cultural boundaries, such as location and families. Communication technologies, from mountain top signaling to Voiceover-IP, have broken those boundaries more or less and enabled multi-culture social functions. Empowered by low-cost, high-power personal computi...

The purpose of this report is to review the evidence on the profitability of technical analysis. To achieve this purpose, the report comprehensively reviews survey, theoretical and empirical studies regarding technical trading strategies. We begin by overviewing survey studies that have directly investigated market participants’ experience and views on technical analysis. The survey literature ...

On-line fault detection and isolation techniques have been developed for automated processes during the last few years. These methods include numerical methods, artificial intelligence methods or combinations of the two methodologies. This paper includes a reference to recent research work on numerical methods, an extensive presentation of artificial intelligence methods used for the fault dete...

In the last few years, biomedical research has been boosted by the technological development of analytical instrumentation generating a large volume of data. Such information has increased in complexity from basic (i.e., blood samples) to extensive sets encompassing many aspects of a subject phenotype, and now rapidly extending into genetic and, more recently, radiomic information. Radiogenomic...

associated with this condition among summer crop growers in Shoushtar Township, Khouzestan Province, Iran. This cross-sectional survey study was conducted from September 2015 to February 2017. The population consisted of summer crop farmers in the Shoushtar Township (N=850). The sample size was determined based on Morgan table (n=150). For analyzing food security level, the 18-item USDA househo...

This was the third administration of a survey project that arose as a collaboration between APS, the University of New Mexico (UNM) and the Albuquerque Teachers Federation (ATF), and the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF). The pur...

Artificial neural networks have recently shown great results in many disciplines and a variety of applications, including natural language understanding, speech processing, games and image data generation. One particular application in which the strong performance of artificial neural networks was demonstrated is the recognition of objects in images, where deep convolutional neural networks are...

Web crawlers specialize in downloading web content and analyzing and indexing from surface web, consisting of interlinked HTML pages. Web crawlers have limitations if the data is behind the query interface. Response depends on the querying party’s context in order to engage in dialogue and negotiate for the information. In this paper, the authors discuss deep web searching techniques. A survey ...
