Second?degree dominance has become a widely accepted criterion for ordering distribution functions according to social welfare. However, it provides only partial ordering, and may fail rank distributions that intersect. To intersecting functions, we propose general approach based on rank?dependent theory. This avoids making arbitrary restrictions or parametric assumptions about welfare allows r...

Many complex systems are characterized by non-Boltzmann distribution functions of their statistical variables. If one wants to – justified or not – hold on to the maximum entropy principle for complex statistical systems (non-Boltzmann) we demonstrate how the corresponding entropy has to look like, given the form of the corresponding distribution functions. By two natural assumptions that (i) t...

today, with the advanced statistical techniques and neural networks, predictive models of distribution have been rapidly developed in ecology. purpose of this research is to predict and map the distribution of tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae) using mlp neural networks combined with genetic algorithm in surface of farm. population data of pest was obtained in 2016 by sampling in 1...
