conclusions the results of this study demonstrated that the tpasp-padre-truncated orf2 gene cassette and the truncated orf2 gene in recombinant plasmids are successfully expressed in eukaryotic cells. the immunogenicity of the two recombinant plasmids with different formulations will be evaluated as a novel dna vaccine in future investigations. results sequence analysis and bioinformatics studi...

In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetime data may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common continuous distribution function F. A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density function f of the lifetimes and its kernel estimate fn is the integrated square error (ISE). In this paper, we derive a central limit theorem for t...

x x F x f y −∞ = ∫ dy Abstract—In parameter estimation of normal distribution, the conventional truncated normal estimator worked well only if the sample size is greater than 20. In this study, we consider to extend its usage for sparse data cases with sample size under 20. We derive a wide-sense truncated normal joint probability distribution function, composing of coverage, range, the sample ...

volume estimation of most agricultural products using mathematical methods is not accurate because of their irregular shape. an alternative method is image processing, which can be used in continuous sorting machines. the objective of this study is to find a practical method for volume estimation of potatoes using image processing. fifty potatoes (marfona variety) were selected as experimental ...

In educational studies, the use of computer-based assessments leads to the collection of multiple outcomes to assess student performance. The student-specific outcomes are correlated and often measured in different scales, such as continuous and count outcomes. A multivariate zero-inflated model with random effects is proposed and adapted for the challenging situation where the multiple outcome...

This article is about modeling count data with zero truncation. A parametric count density family is considered. The truncated mixture of densities from this family is different from the mixture of truncated densities from the same family. Whereas the former model is more natural to formulate and to interpret, the latter model is theoretically easier to treat. It is shown that for any mixing di...
