Background: When data is transmitted by encoding it in the amplitude of signal, such as Amplitude Shift Keying, receiver makes a decision on observing received signal. Objective: Depending level has to decode data, with minimum probability error. For binary transmission, this achieved choosing threshold. Methods: A threshold detection mechanism evaluated paper, which uses parametric distributio...

The sequential search strategy is a prominent model of searcher behavior, derived as a rule by which females might sample and choose a mate from a distribution of prospective partners. The strategy involves a threshold criterion against which prospective mates are evaluated. The optimal threshold depends on the attributes of prospective mates, which are likely to vary across generations or with...

We investigate the waiting-time distribution of the absolute return in the Korean stock-market index KOSPI. We define the waiting time as a time interval during which the normalized absolute return remains continuously below a threshold rc. Through an exponential bin plot, we observe that the waiting-time distribution shows power-law behavior, pf (t) ∼ t−β , for a range of threshold values. The...

Optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. The distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...
