The XYZ model is an integrable spin chain which has infinite set of conserved charges, but it lacks a global U(1) U(1) -symmetry. We consider the current ope...

We discuss robust designs for generalized linear models with protection for possible departures from the usual model assumptions. Besides possible inaccuracy in an assumed linear predictor, both problems of overdispersion and misspecification in link function are addressed. For logistic and Poisson models, as examples, we incorporate the variance function prescribed by a superior model similar ...

We consider a difference based ridge regression estimator and a Liu type estimator of the regression parameters in the partial linear semiparametric regression model, y = Xβ + f + ε. Both estimators are analysed and compared in the sense of mean-squared error. We consider the case of independent errors with equal variance and give conditions under which the proposed estimators are superior to t...

The simplest water diversion method in irrigation systems is using intakes. Measuring the mean velocity is one of the essential hydraulic parameters in increasing the efficiency of the intake. In this study, the mean velocity was predicted for different width ratios of an intake using ANN-MLP neural network model. In order to do that, the flow field within a 90-degree intake was first simulated...
