Abstract. The root-mean-squared error (RMSE) and mean absolute (MAE) are widely used metrics for evaluating models. Yet, there remains enduring confusion over their use, such that a standard practice is to present both, leaving it the reader decide which more relevant. In recent reprise 200-year debate Willmott Matsuura (2005) Chai Draxler (2014) give arguments favoring one metric or other. How...

The present study aims to model systematic risk using financial and accounting variables. Accordingly, the data for 174 companies in Tehran Stock Exchange are extracted for the period of 2006 to 2016. First, the systematic risk index is estimated using the ARFIMA-FIGARCH model. Then, based on the research background, 35 affective financial and accounting variables are simultaneously used with t...

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in concrete manufacturing is considered as financial, technical and environmental benefit. In this regard, this paper presents the experimental and analytical study of high strength concrete (HSC) with alccofine-1203 (alccofine) and fly ash as partial replacements to cement. A total of seven mixes were prepared with different percentages of...

In this paper we will give an integral representation of the error for the generalized Pad e type approximants deened in 2]. We will deduce some asymptotic upper bounds on the error of sequences of these approximants. As applications, we will consider functions deened by their expansions in some families of classical orthogonal polynomials and obtain for the corresponding approximants some resu...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we construct a new iterative method for solving nonlinear volterra integral equation of second kind‎, ‎by approximating the legendre polynomial basis‎. ‎error analysis is worked using banach fixed point theorem‎. ‎we compute the approximate solution without using numerical method‎. ‎finally‎, ‎some examples are given to compare the results with some of the existing methods‎.

A weighted summation of Integral of Time Multiplied Absolute Error (ITAE) and Integral of Squared Controller Output (ISCO) minimization based time domain optimal tuning of fractional-order (FO) PID or PIλDμ controller is proposed in this paper with a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) based technique that minimizes the change in trajectories of the state variables and the control signal. A class ...

We present a descriptive definition of a multidimensional generalized Riemann integral based on a concept of generalized absolute continuity for additive functions of sets of bounded variation.

The study aimed to compare the hip joint position sense (JPS) of patients undergoing conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). A total of 40 patients who underwent hip arthroplasty (20 THA and 20 HRA) for unilateral coxarthrosis in our department from January 2008 to July 2009 were reviewed. Both groups of patients were matched in age, gender, body-mass in...
