Meteorological stations usually contain some missing data for different reasons.There are several traditional methods for completing data, among them bivariate and multivariate linear and non-linear correlation analysis, double mass curve, ratio and difference methods, moving average and probability density functions are commonly used. In this paper a blended model comprising the bivariate expo...

We present an algorithm for computing exact expressions for the distribution of the maximum or minimum of an arbitrary nite collection of linear combinations of spacings or exponential random variables with rational coeecients. These expressions can then be manipulated or evaluated using symbolic math packages such as MAPLE. As examples, we apply this algorithm to obtain the distributions of th...

The purpose of this paper is to use Bahadur’s asymptotic relative efficiency measure to compare the performance of various tests of autoregressive (AR) versus moving average (MA) error processes in regression models. Tests to be examined include non-nested procedures of the models against each other, and classical procedures based upon testing both the AR and MA error processes against the more...

ecological changes resulting from climate conditions can severely affect human societies especially in the area of economy and safety. climate catastrophes may cause social and economic tension. forecasting such changes accurately can help the government to control the disasters and to achieve possible benefits (such as water supply in flood). weather forecasting is the application of science a...

in many computer vision applications, segmenting and extraction of moving objects in video sequences is an essential task. background subtraction, by which each input image is subtracted from the reference image, has often been used for this purpose. in this paper, we offer a novel background-subtraction technique for real-time dynamic background generation using color images that are taken fro...

1. Unlike X -R and Individuals charts (without the Western Electric Handbook rules which aim to increase sensitivity), all of the data collected over time may be used to determine the control status of a process. 2. The EWMA is often superior to the CUSUM charting technique for detecting "larger" shifts. 3. EWMA schemes may be applied for monitoring standard deviations in addition to the proces...

This article investigates a Cautious Minimum Variance (CMV) control approach for controlling industrial process variability when the model parameters are estimated from data and subject to uncertainty. CMV control has a number of advantages over traditional robust control methods. It incorporates probabilistic, as opposed to deterministic, measures of parameter uncertainty, which are more consi...
