in this research, the spatial distribution of fe, cu, zn and mn on agricultural lands of golestan province were evaluated using different interpolation methods such as, kriging, inverse distance weighted, local polynomial, inverse multiquadric and radial basis function. thus, 505 soil samples were provided from fields during 2008 and micronutrients rates were measured for each sample. the perfo...

background : kernel smoothing method is a non-parametric or graphical method for statistical estimation. in the present study was used a kernel smoothing method for finding the death hazard rates of patients with acute myocardial infarction. methods : by employing non-parametric regression methods, the curve estimation, may have some complexity.  in this article, four indices of epanechnikov, b...

We present and implement an error estimation protocol in the Insight Toolkit (ITK) for assessing the accuracy of image alignment. We base this error estimation on a robust version of the Hausdorff Distance (HD) metric applied to the recovered edges of the images. The robust modifications we introduce to the HD metric significantly reduce the amount of outliers in the local distance error estima...

introduction: river discharge as one of the most important hydrology factors has a vital role in physical, ecological, social and economic processes. so, accurate and reliable prediction and estimation of river discharge have been widely considered by many researchers in different fields such as surface water management, design of hydraulic structures, flood control and ecological studies in sp...

background: in pediatric resuscitation, it is necessary to distinguish the weight in order to provide proper doses of drugs, equipment selection, and ventilator settings, therefore, access to a simple, unbiased, and accurate formula can decrease mistakes. the aim of this study is to determine the percentage of error (pe) of different weight estimation methods toward actual weight in children  a...
