in this study, yield-water and profit function was used to obtain water demand function in agriculture sector. the results showed that the ratio of actual to potential evapotranspiration had positive, significant effecton the ratio of actual to potential yield for wheat and barley. also, square ratio of actual to potential evapotranspiration had negative, significant relationship. after estimat...

Some examples of absurd uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimators are discussed. Two reasons, argued in the literature, for having such estimators are lack of enough information in the available data and property of unbiasedness. In this paper, accepting both of these views, we show that an appropriate choice of loss function using a general concept of unbiasedness leads to risk unb...

Let be a stationary sequence of pair wise negative quadrant dependent random variables with survival function {,1}nXn?F(x)=P[X>x]. The empirical survival function ()nFx based on 12,,...,nXXX is proposed as an estimator for ()nFx. Strong consistency and point wise as well as uniform of ()nFx are discussed

In this paper, the estimation of a scale parameter t under a new and bounded loss function, based on a reflection of the gamma density function, is discussed. The best scale-invariant estimator of tis obtained and the admissibility of all linear functions of the sufficient statistic, for estimating t in the absence of a nuisance parameter, is investigated

We propose a wavelet based regression function estimator for the estimation of the regression function for a sequence of ?-missing random variables with a common one-dimensional probability density function. Some asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator based on block thresholding are investigated. It is found that the estimators achieve optimal minimax convergence rates over large class...

presently, the culture of economics in somecountries is given top priority against other sectors of civilian economics. this importantis not only due to the economical values of culture but also due to the outmost importanteffects which are able to boost the civilian economics both direct and indirect. in iranalso, the culture economics has its own specific importance and it includes industries...

nowadays, factor of energy besides other factors such as labor and capital plays an important role in agricultural production. energy is used as a factor for agricultural machines and instruments. important discussion about this subject is the reaction rate of energy demand to price variations of energy and other factors. so, this study estimates the functions of energy demand in agricultural s...
