The goal of the study was to look over association between students' level motivation and parental support parents. Respondents in this included 180 students from various Mandaue, City schools. Students Motivation Parental Support Assessment (SMPSA) questionnaire used as an assessment tool gather data. data analyzed using weighted mean chi- square. findings revealed student among students. Thos...

We develop a direct test for examining the mean-variance efficiency of a given benchmark asset return. Unlike traditional tests for mean-variance efficiency, this test allows for the possibility that short positions in the primitive assets may not be possible. Using this test, we can not reject the hypothesis that the value weighted return on exchange traded stocks is mean-variance efficient wi...

This paper presents a method for fusing measurement samples from multiple sensors into a dependable robust estimation of a variable in the control environment. Each sensor measurement is represented by a measurement value and a confidence marker that corresponds to the respective variance of the measurement. We propose the Confidence-weighted Averaging (CWA) algorithm for fusing measurements wi...

We study different types of aggregation operators and the decision making process with minimization of regret. We analyze the original work developed by Savage and the recent work developed by Yager that generalizes the MMR method creating a parameterized family of minimal regret methods by using the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator. We suggest a new method that uses different types of...

The weighted fuzzy c-mean clustering algorithm (WFCM) and weighted fuzzy c-mean-adaptive cluster number (WFCM-AC) are extension of traditional fuzzy c-mean algorithm to stream data clustering algorithm. Clusters in WFCM are generated by renewing the centers of weighted cluster by iteration. On the other hand, WFCM-AC generates clusters by applying WFCM on the data & selecting best K± initialize...

vegetation deterioration is a main cause of erosion and land degradation. therefore, land cover reclamation in the effected areas will affect erosion trend. in reclamation projects, the investigation of relationship between the planted species and soils is highly recommended. atriplex species can sequester carbon into soil, and have an ability to conserve soil and prevent soil erosion, as well....
