The convergence behavior of (1 +; ){ES is investigated at parabolic ridge, sharp ridge, and at the general case of the ridge functions. The progress rate, the distance to the ridge axis, the success rate, and the success probability are used in the analysis. For the parabolic ridge, we observed in our simulations with large values using (1; ){ES a larger progress rate asymptote than the theoret...

Energy flux is a fundamental quantity for understanding internal wave generation, propagation, and dissipation. In this paper, the estimation of internal wave energy fluxes u p from ocean observations that may be sparse in either time or depth are considered. Sampling must be sufficient in depth to allow for the estimation of the internal wave–induced pressure anomaly p using the hydrostatic ba...

In this paper, a modified estimation algorithm has been developed refers to covariance shaping least square estimation based on the quantum mechanical concepts and constraints. The algorithm has been applied to the speech signal and the performance is estimated using probability theories. The same models can be applied with additive white Gaussian Noise which estimates the bias in the parameter...

The model selection criteria AIC, BIC and Cp have been proposed for estimation of the rank of coefficient matrix in multivariate linear model. In general, it is known that under a large-sample asymptotic framework AIC and Cp is not consistent, but BIC is consistent. However, we note that these criteria have consistency when the number p of the response variables and the sample size n are large ...

The effects of drip irrigation and different cultivation methods on seedgermination and growth of Puccinellia tenuiflora in saline-sodic soils wereinvestigated in field experiments during 2008-2010 in the Songnen Plain, China.Drip irrigation was applied to waste saline-sodic P. tenuiflora grasslands for bothflat and ridge cultivation methods. Drip irrigation affected the distributions ofelectri...
