In this paper some new methods whitch very recently have been introduced for parameter estimation and variable selection in regression models are reviewd. Furthermore , we simulate several models in order to evaluate the performance of these methods under diffrent situation. At last we compare the performance of these methods with that of the regular traditional variable selection methods such ...

the present dissertation aims to investigate four-word lexical bundles in applied linguistics research articles by iranian and internationally-published writers. the aims of this study are two-fold: first of all, attempts have been made to create a comprehensive list of the most commonly used four-word lexical bundles categorized by their type and token frequency, their structural characteristi...

‎Dynamic panel data models include the important part of medicine‎, ‎social and economic studies‎. ‎Existence of the lagged dependent variable as an explanatory variable is a sensible trait of these models‎. ‎The estimation problem of these models arises from the correlation between the lagged depended variable and the current disturbance‎. ‎Recently‎, ‎quantile regression to analyze dynamic pa...

insurers have in the past few decades faced longevity risks - the risk that annuitants survive more than expected - and therefore need a new approach to manage this new risk. in this dissertation we survey methods that hedge longevity risks. these methods use securitization to manage risk, so using modern financial and insurance pricing models, especially wang transform and actuarial concepts, ...

The phenomena of erosion, sediment transport and sedimentations have tremendously destructive effects on environment and hydraulics structures. In general, sediment transportation depends on river discharges, but the proposed equations inherited with large errors. To evaluate the suspended sediment loads and an optimized model on them, in this research, data were collected from some sub-watersh...

Agricultural investigations use computer models for simulation of crop growth and field water management. By using these models, the effects of plant growth parameters on crop yields are simulated, hence, the experimental costs are reduced. In this paper, the model of MSM (Maize Simulation Model) was calibrated and validated for the prediction of maize forage production at Agricultural College,...

abstract amino acids are building blocks of proteins, and play a vital role in living beings existence and their functionality. the interaction of these compounds with metal ions is of great importance to biochemists, and chemists, because their functions can be utilized as a model in understanding enzymes mechanism for transport of metal ions to tissues. among twenty essential amino acids w...
