This paper considers the multiple regression model to determine optimal βexpectation tolerance regions for the future regression vector (FRV) and future residual sum of squares (FRSS) by using the prediction distributions of some appropriate functions of future responses. It is assumed that the errors of the regression model follow a multivariate Student-t distribution with unknown shape parame...

in the present study, air quality analyses for ozone (o3) were conducted in ahvaz, a city in the south of iran. the measurements were taken from 2009 through 2010 in two different locations to prepare average data in the city. relations between the air pollutant and some meteorological parameters were calculated statistically using the daily average data. the wind data (velocity, direction), re...

introduction: the development of an appropriate model for the quality control of an industrial wastewater treatment system can save the time as well as the cost. this study was performed to determine an appropriate model in order to predict the cod and tkn parameters by bod5 and nh4+ in the meybod industrial estate waste water treatment plant (wwtp). methods: this descriptive – analytical study...

the use of remote sensing techniques as a suitable solution to estimate the levels of species diversity is of high importance for the sustainable management of forests. in order to investigate the potential of using sensor data from landsat 7 etm+ to estimate species diversity in the zagros forests, digital data related to the august 7, 2002 from forests in the qalajeh kermanshah province were ...

the objectives of this study were to identify a suitable mathematical model for describing the growth curve of baluchi sheep based on monthly records of live weight from birth to yearling; and to evaluate the efficacies of nonlinear mixed effect model (nlmm) and the nonlinear fixed effect model (nlm) methodologies. growth models were fitted to a total of 16,650 weight–age data belonging to 2071...

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, which has much benefited from animal models to find the basics of its pathophysiology. In our previous work (Haghani, Shabani, Javan, Motamedi, & Janahmadi, 2012), a non-transgenic rat model of AD was used in electrophysiological studies. However, we did not investigate the histological aspects in the ...

Data from seven beef steer trials were compiled and regression analyses used to evaluate relationships among molar proportions of acetate (Ac), propionate (Pr) and butyrate (Bu), total concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFA), rumen ammonia (NH3), rumen pH, rumen fluid dilution rate (FDR), rumen fluid volume (FVOL), body weight (WT), dry matter intake (DMI) and dietary concentration and inta...

in this paper, economic convergence in selected oic (36 countries) is studied. the convergence hypothesis is tested through three approaches: beta convergence, sigma convergence, and time series model. ols is used for estimating the cross section model and cross variance is used to test the distributive model. for analyzing time series model, we used augmented dicky fuller test. beta convergenc...

A new probability distribution is proposed in this paper. This has support on the interval and was obtained after transforming random variable with exponential distribution. The mode, quantile function, median, ordinary moments density function belongs to family of distributions are demonstrated. maximum likelihood method used obtain parameter estimate. regression model for median also proposed...

Although the consumption based asset pricing theory appears to be theoretically superior and more elegant than the beta pricing model, yet in practice the beta pricing model is more widely applied. Indeed, beta pricing models are one of the most widely adopted tools in financial analysis. They easily allow to handle systematic risk as priced in financial assets. However, accurately estimating b...
