These notes descibe various simple models and methods for analysis of longitudinal data and show how the analyses can be carried out using SAS. The descriptions require some knowledge of analysis of variance, also with random eeects as in split-plot experiments, in particular. Knowledge of multivariate analysis is not required, and the plain multivariate analysis of variance , treating each ser...

BACKGROUND Oil and gas development emits known hematological carcinogens, such as benzene, and increasingly occurs in residential areas. We explored whether residential proximity to oil and gas development was associated with risk for hematologic cancers using a registry-based case-control study design. METHODS Participants were 0-24 years old, living in rural Colorado, and diagnosed with can...

This paper presented the levels of PM2.5 and PM10 in different stations at the city of Sabzevar, Iran. Furthermore, this study was an attempt to evaluate spatial interpolation methods for determining the PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in the city of Sabzevar. Particulate matters were measured by Haz-Dust EPAM at 48 stations. Then, four interpolating models, including Radial Basis Functions (RBF)...

Abstract The presence of an economical solution to predict soil behaviour is essential for new construction areas. This paper aims investigate the ultimate interpolation method predicting bearing capacity An-Najaf city-Iraq based on field investigation information. Firstly, engineering was calculated in-site N-SPT values using dynamic loading 464 boreholes with depths 0–2 m, Meyerhof formula. d...

| Deterministic blind beamforming algorithms try to separate superpositions of source signals impinging on a phased antenna array, by using deterministic properties of the signals or the channels such as their constant modulus or directions-of-arrival. Unlike optimal or adaptive methods, the algebraic methods discussed in this review act on a xed block of data and give closed-form expressions f...

A univariate time series model can be set up as the sum of trend, seasonal and irregular components. The trend and seasonal components will normally be stochastic, but deterministic components arise as a special case. This paper develops a test that the trend and seasonal components are deterministic using the approach of Lehmann. The procedure is then extended to test for deterministic compone...

the purpose of this study is to identify the effect of ordinary kriging (ok) and inverse distance weighted (idw) estimation methods for the delineation of mineralized zones based on subsurface data using concentration–volume (c–v) multifractal modeling in the dardevey iron ore deposit, ne iran. variograms and anisotropic ellipsoid were generated for the fe distribution by the above estimation m...
