to estimate heritability and genetic trend for 305-d milk production and lactation persistency, a total of 130,668 monthly test day milk yields belonging to 15,183 first lactation holstein cows in 131 herds and calved from 2000 to 2009 were used. to calculate 305-d milk yield as well as lactation persistency, estimated parameters of wilmink’s exponential function were applied. the parameters of...

the aim of this study was to determine the monthly dtr mass load of amphetamine-type compounds in poland as well as an investigation of cyclical behaviour by using time series analysis and especially trends analysis.amphetamine, methamphetamine and mdma (ecstasy) were detected in wastewater samples collected from the main wastewater treatment plant in the city of poznan using liquid chromatogra...

salinity and drought stress are among the common environmental factors which adversely affect germination and growth of plants. this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of salinity and drought stress on turnip seed germination and early growth in seed lab of college of agriculture, university of tehran, during 2010. the experimental design was a complete randomized block with three...

abstract in this study, trends of threshold heavy precipitation were examined on the basis of measurements of 1437 stations (included synoptic, climatic and rain gage stations) in iran for the period of 40 years (1964-2003). for this purpose, the statistical method of nonparametric mann-kendall test is used for analyzinging the thresholds of heavy precipitation and nonparametric sen method for ...

AbstractIn industries, how to improve forecasting accuracy such as sales, shipping is an important issue. There are many researches made on this. In this paper, a hybrid method is introduced and plural methods are compared. Focusing that the equation of exponential smoothing method(ESM) is equivalent to (1,1) order ARMA model equation, new method of estimation of smoothing constant in exponenti...

Testing the cointegrating rank of a vector autoregressive process which may have a deter-ministic linear trend is considered. Previous proposals for dealing with such a situation are either to allow for a deterministic trend term in computing a suitable test statistic or else remove the linear trend rst and then derive the test statistic from the trend-adjusted data. In this study the latter ap...

Spatial point processes on linear networks are increasingly getting attention in different disciplines such as traffic accidents and street crime analysis. Dealing with a set of time-ordered patterns network over period, helps obtaining time series estimated intensity images. In this article, we combine the problem estimating relative risk trend detection observations. Taking temporal autocorre...
