This paper presents Adaptive Population Sizing Genetic Algorithm (AGA) assisted Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the presence of Nonlinear Distortions. The proposed algorithm is simulated in MATLAB and compared with existing estimation algorithms such as iterative DAR, decision feedback clipping removal, iteration decoder, Geneti...

In today's highly competitive industrial environment due to fast technology development, quality practitioners will to detect out-of-control situations and take actions whenever is necessary as soon as possible. Accordingly, new statistical procedures have been enhanced incessantly both to handle high yield processes along with looking for methods of minimizing all quality cost. CCC-r chart, th...

This study was performed to determine the relationship between myocardial infarct size estimated by serum CK-MB methods and the extent of irreversible injury in acute myocardial infarction. In 321 consecutive patients, infarct size was estimated by different mathematical models, and in 22 patients who died in hospital, the extent of myocardial necrosis was determined by autopsy. We also investi...

This article describes procedures for presenting standardized measures of effect size when contrasts are used to ask focused questions of data. The simplest contrasts consist of comparisons of two samples (e.g., based on the independent t statistic). Useful effect-size indices in this situation are members of the g family (e.g., Hedges's g and Cohen's d) and the Pearson r. We review expressions...

Population sizing from still aerial pictures is of wide applicability in ecological and social sciences. The problem is long standing because current automatic detection and counting algorithms are known to fail in most cases, and exhaustive manual counting is tedious, slow, difficult to verify and unfeasible for large populations. An alternative is to multiply population density with some refe...

Some computable schemes for descent methods without line search are proposed. Convergence properties are presented. Numerical experiments concerning large scale unconstrained minimization problems are reported. Mathematical subject classification: 90C30, 65K05, 49M37.

Traceroute sampling is a common approach for exploring the autonomous system (AS) graph of the Internet. It provides samples of links between autonomous systems, but these links are not drawn uniformly at random from all possible links. Rather, the rules that each AS uses are idiosyncratic and emergent. Here, we are interested in using the data from traceroute sampling to estimate the degree di...

RNAExpressionMicroarray technology is widely applied in biomedical and pharmaceutical research. The huge number of RNA concentrations estimated for each sample make it difficult to apply traditional sample size calculation techniques and has left most practitioners to rely on rule-of-thumb techniques. In this paper, we describe and demonstrate a simple method for performing and visualizing samp...

Data Warehouse Systems are a special context for the application of functional software metrics. The use of an unique standard, as Function Point, gives serious comparability issues with traditional systems or other paradigms, in terms of both numerical size and implementation effort estimation. Peculiar guidelines are therefore necessary in order to identify the user view, the software boundar...
