in this paper we introduce a new scheme of censoring and study it under the weibull distribution. this scheme is a mixture of progressive type ii censoring and self relocating design which was first introduced by srivastava [8]. we show the superiority of this censoring scheme (psrd) relative to the classical schemes with respect to “asymptotic variance”. comparisons are also made with respect ...

Self-regulation depletion (SRD), or ego-depletion, refers to decrements in self-regulation performance immediately following a different self-regulation-demanding activity. There are now over a hundred studies reporting SRD across a broad range of tasks and conditions. However, most studies have used young student samples. Because prefrontal brain regions thought to subserve self-regulation do ...

Switched reluctance drive (SRD) system has been used in many applications. However, because of its inherent nonlinearity, the design and analysis of SRD system is relatively difficult. In this paper, the development of design and analysis tool for SRD system based on MATLAB/GUIDE is studied. Firstly, the steps for the development of graphical user interface (GUI) by MATLAB/GUIDE are summarized....

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of serous retinal detachments (SRD) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a large database of patients with uveitis from a tertiary referral setting, to describe clinical features of patients with SRD, and to ascertain retinal architectural features found in association with SRD. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Prevalence of SRD in uveitis patients imaged wi...

1 New traffic models are called for to facilitate the design of effective admission and flow control algorithms, and network performance evaluation in accommodating video traffic. We propose a new approach, sequentially modulated self-similar processes (SMSSPs), to model MPEG coded video traffic. SMSSPs are shown to be able to capture both short range dependency (SRD) and long range dependency ...

Our goal is to illustrate the typical life cycle of a fuzzy knowledge-based model, starting from its development, testing, optimization, and deployment, and ending with the maintenance of its knowledge base. We illustrate this process within the context of an underwriting insurance application. First we define some key concepts of soft computing models and discuss some design tradeoffs that mus...

This paper investigates an influence of different SRD structures on a maximum delay value for queued LRD traffic with usage of an envelope analysis. A FARIMA process is used as a traffic model since it can model both SRD and LRD structures independently. A FGN process is used as a reference of LRD traffic due to its relative simplicity. A drop probability is computed as a function of a buffer s...
