An analogy between celebrated Kendall equation for busy periods in the system M |GI|1 and analytical results for busy periods in the priority systemsMr|GIr |1 is drawn. These results can be viewed as generalizations of the functional Kendall equation. The methodology and algorithms of numerical solution of recurrent functional equations which appear in the analysis of such queueing systems are ...

Extreme temperature of several stations in Malaysia is modelled by fitting the monthly maximum to the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. The Mann-Kendall (MK) test suggests a non-stationary model. Two models are considered for stations with trend and the Likelihood Ratio test is used to determine the best-fitting model. Results show that half of the stations favour a model which is l...

in this study, long-term trends and abrupt changes of hydro-climatic variables was investigated in the observed period 1971-2000 for aidoghmoush basin using mann-kendall nonparametric test and cumulative curve of climatic variables-runoff, respectively. results show decrease trends for rainfall and runoff and increase trend for temperature by the mann-kendall test with a confidence level of 99%...
