the quantitative structure–property relationship (qspr) method is used to develop the correlation between structures of crude oil hydrocarbons (80 compounds) and their boiling point and water solubility. sub-structural molecular fragments (smf) calculated from structure alone were used to represent molecular structures. a subset of the calculated fragments selected using stepwise regression (fo...

Abstract: The classical maximum likelihood estimation fails to estimate the simple linear measurement error model, with or without equation error, unless additional assumptions are made about the structural parameters. In the literature there are six different assumptions that could be added in order to solve the measurement error models. In this paper, we proposed an entropy-type estimator bas...

Fuzzy linear regression models are used to obtain an appropriate linear relation between a dependent variable and several independent variables in a fuzzy environment. Several methods for evaluating fuzzy coefficients in linear regression models have been proposed. The first attempts at estimating the parameters of a fuzzy regression model used mathematical programming methods. In this the...

In this research, non-linear inflationary dynamics based on the concept of missing money is studied using the threshold autoregressive models based on seasonal data of the time interval (1990:04-2016:07) for the economy of Iran. The finding of the research shows that simple and Divisia liquidity growth variables are determined as threshold variables, and inflation reacts to changes in the growt...

Friction is a nonlinear phenomenon which has destructive effects on performance of control systems. To obviate these effects, friction compensation is an effectual solution. In this paper, an adaptive technique is proposed in order to eliminate limit cycles as one of the undesired behaviors due to presence of friction in control systems which happen frequently. The proposed approach works for n...

this research work is devoted to the footprint analysis of a steel-belted radial tyre (185/65r14) under vertical static load using finite element method. two models have been developed in which in the first model the tread patterns were replaced by simple ribs while the second model was consisted of details of the tread blocks. linear elastic and hyper elastic (arruda-boyce) material models wer...
