Sometimes the relationship between dependent and explanatory variable(s) known as profile is monitored. Simple linear profiles among the other types of profiles have been more considered due to their applications especially in calibration. There are some studies on the monitoring them when the observations within each profile are autocorrelated. On the other hand, estimating the change point le...

This thesis consists of a prologue and six parts that address two aspects of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems: synchronization and channel estimation. For the synchronization aspect, focus is on estimators of time and frequency offsets that exploit the cyclic prefix. For the channel estimation aspect, a concept is presented and analyzed that exploits the f...

Accurate statistical model of PET measurements is a prerequisite for a correct image reconstruction when using statistical image reconstruction algorithms, or when pre-filtering operations must be performed. Although radioactive decay follows a Poisson distribution, deviation from Poisson statistics occurs on projection data prior to reconstruction due to physical effects, measurement errors, c...

Article history: Received 7 April 2011 Received in revised form 17 September 2011 Accepted 18 September 2011 Is wind direction an adequate marker of air mass history? This review looks at the evolution of methods for assessing the effect of the origin and pathway of air masses on composition change and trends. The composition of air masses and how they evolve and the changing contribution of so...

‎the aim of this paper is to study distribution of ratios of generalized order statistics from pareto distribution. parameter estimation of pareto distribution based on generalized order statistics and ratios of them have been obtained. inferences using method of moments and unbiased estimator have been obtained to develop point estimations. consistency of unbiased estimator has been illustrate...

the purpose of velocity analysis is to extract the normal moveout velocity as a function of the zero-offset travel time at selected cdp locations along the seismic line. since results of velocity analysis depend on coherency estimator, an estimator that provides a high velocity resolution is essential. even though the conventional semblance method which is the most popular coherency estimator (...

Shannon entropy is increasingly used in many applications. In this article, an estimator of the entropy of a continuous random variable is proposed. Consistency and scale invariance of variance and mean squared error of the proposed estimator is proved and then comparisons are made with Vasicek's (1976), van Es (1992), Ebrahimi et al. (1994) and Correa (1995) entropy estimators. A simulation st...
