Extreme rainfall frequency analysis for Meteorological Sub-Division 4 of India was analyzed using Lmoments approach. Serial Correlation and Mann Kendall tests were conducted for checking serially independent and stationarity of the observations. The discordancy measure for the sites was conducted to detect the discordant sites. The regional homogeneity was tested by comparing with 500 generated...

The rank aggregation problem consists in finding a consensus ranking on a set of alternatives, based on the preferences of individual voters. These are expressed by permutations, whose distance can be measured in many ways. In this work we study a collection of distances, including the Kendall tau, Spearman footrule, Spearman rho, Cayley, Hamming, Ulam, and Minkowski distances, and compute the ...

Neutrinos in the cosmic ray flux with energies near 1 EeV and above are detectable with the Surface Detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We report here on searches through Auger data from 1 January 2004 until 20 June 2013. No neutrino candidates were found, yielding a limit to the diffuse flux of ultra-high energy neutrinos that challenges the Waxman-Bahcall bound predictions. Neutri...

This paper investigates whether or not there are significant changes in the dependence between the Thai equity market and six Asian markets namely, Singaporean, Malaysian, Hong Kong, Korean, Indonesian and Taiwanese markets due to 1997-July financial crisis. If so, this may be an indication that the underlying bivariate joint distributions capturing the dependence between the Thai market and th...

This paper describes the performance of the VITIPI word completion system through a text input simulation. The aim of this simulation is to estimate the impact of the linguistic knowledge base size through two metrics: the KeyStroke Ratio (KSR) and the KeyStroke Per Character (KPC). Our study shows that the performance of a word completion is depending of the % of words not available and the si...

This task focuses on evaluating word similarity computation in Chinese. We follow the way of Finkelstein et al. (2002) to select word pairs. Then we organize twenty undergraduates who are major in Chinese linguistics to annotate the data. Each pair is assigned a similarity score by each annotator. We rank the word pairs by the average value of similar scores among the twenty annotators. This da...

Given that manual annotation of speech is an expensive and long process, we attempt in this paper to assist an annotator to perform a speaker diarization. This assistance takes place in an annotation background for a large amount of archives. We propose a method which decreases the intervention number of a human. This method corrects a diarization by taking into account the human interventions....

in the management of river basins, prediction of river water quality is essential to maintain water quality within standard limits. this study performed a time-series analysis of the prediction of chlorine concentration and electrical conductivity time series data for the period of 1991-2005 from sefidrood river in northern iran. the seasonal prediction of chlorine and electrical conductivity t...
