<p><span lang="EN-US">This work proposes an adaptive filter based on a new least mean sixth control approach with incremental conductance method of MPP for 3-phase grid-incorporated photovoltaic (PV) system. The proposed system comprises PV array, DC to AC converter, maximum power point tracker (MPPT), three-phase electronic load, and grid. combination solar array the voltage source...

Three-stage t-tests of separated one-sided hypotheses are derived, extending Lorden’s optimal three-stage tests for the one-dimensional exponential family by using Lai and Zhang’s generalization of Schwarz’s optimal fully-sequential tests to the multiparameter exponential family. The resulting three-stage t-tests are shown to be asymptotically optimal, achieving the same average sample size as ...

Manufacturing tolerancing is intended to determine the intermediate geometrical and dimensional states of the part during its manufacturing process. These manufacturing dimensions also serve to satisfy not only the functional requirements given in the definition drawing, but also the manufacturing constraints, for example geometrical defects of the machine, vibration and the wear of the cutting...

In this research, we demonstrated that the plastoquinone-related electron-transport kinetics in photosynthesis could be sufficiently described with as few as three state variables, Q(A)(-), Q(B)(-), and Q(B)(2-). A third-order kinetic model structure was developed with delayed fluorescence as the measurable output. Delayed fluorescence emissions from drought-stressed, DCMU [3-(3,4-dichloropheny...

This paper presents both a weak and a strong law of large numbers for weakly dependent heterogeneous random variables. The laws presented for near-epoch dependent random variables allow for relaxation of the dependence conditions that are necessary in nonlinear least squares theory for dependent processes in order to ensure strong and weak consistency of the nonlinear least squares estimator. *...

This paper investigates stock returns behaviour as a function of lagged idiosyncratic risk in the Fama-French three-factor model using two approaches to estimating idiosyncratic risk. The application of ordinary least squares and quantile regression methods to heteroskedasticity corrected data in a panel structure reveals that the form of relationship does not change with the method of estimati...

This paper proposes a new two stage least squares (2SLS) estimator which is consistent and asymptotically normal in the presence of many weak and irrelevant instruments and heteroskedasticity. In the first stage the estimator uses an adaptive absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) that selects the relevant instruments with high probability. However, the adaptive LASSO estimates have ...

The Granger}Engle procedure consists of two steps. In the "rst step, a long-run cointegrating relationship is estimated, and in the second stage, this estimated long-run relationship is used to estimate a distributed lag model. This paper establishes the limit distribution of the second-stage estimator if the model estimated in the second stage is other than linear. One may expect that the esti...

in this paper, we intend to investigate the impact of privatization on economic growth in developing and transition economies. previous studies that have attempted to measure this relationship have conflicting results, some indicating a positive impact of privatization on growth, while others indicate a negative relationship. our study uses recent world bank data on privatization for 117 countr...

Among the several approaches proposed for estimating interactions in latent variable models in CBSEM, Bollen and Paxton (1998) and Little et al. (2006) describe procedures that do not require special-purpose software, and so are accessible to all CBSEM users. Bollen and Paxton described an approach using two-stage least squares (2SLS), an analytical approach used in regression to overcome estim...
