BACKGROUND In last few years, the use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has become dominant in structural validation of psychological tests. However, the requirement of latent variables only loading on specific target items introduces some constraints on the solutions found, namely a factor solution that links some items only in one specific dimension. The most recent use of exploratory str...

Estimating uncertain state variables of a general complex dynamical network with randomly incomplete measurements of transmitted output variables is investigated in this paper. The incomplete measurements, occurring randomly through the transmission of output variables, always cause the failure of the state estimation process. Different from the existing methods, we propose a novel method to ha...

in this paper, the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (mrac) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delay in interconnected term and input and state delays is studied. to compensate the effect of input delay indirectly, a smith predictor built on. to handle the effects of the time delays in input, the adaptive controller part includes two auxiliary dynamic f...
