A brief review of studies on the seasonal growth of fish is presented, followed by an equally brief review of length-converted catch curves. A new method for constructing catch curves from representative length-frequency data is presented. This new method explicitly accounts for seasonal growth...

In this paper we propose the prognosis of the unemployment rate in the European Union through the Box-Jenkins method and the TRAMO/SEATS method as well as the detection of the method which proves to provide the best results. The monthly unemployment rate in the European Union is affected by...

At present, both at European Union and world level, experts are preoccupied to find the best method for the deseasonalisation of a time series that should assure the comparability of statistical data. The present paper follows the line of these researches. In the study, we undertake a comparison...

Significant energy savings can be achieved in the pulp and paper industry through process integration. The aim of this paper was to investigate how much seasonal variations in the process influence the potential for making energy savings. The hot and warm water system in a market pulp mill has...

The paper presents a validation test of a recent algorithm implemented by the author to correlate turbulence intensity (TI) data recorded at two meteorological masts and based on the conditional probability to measure simultaneous events of wind speed, direction and TI. Two testing sites,...

The purpose of this paper is to study the identification methods of the nature of the seasonal component of a time series. These methods are represented by the verifying tests of the unit root for the models of seasonal autoregressive processes: the HEGY test, the Franses test, etc. In practice,...

In this paper we generalize different approaches of estimating the ridge parameter k proposed by Muniz et al. (Comput Stat, <CitationRef CitationID="CR16">2011</CitationRef>) to be applicable for logistic ridge regression (LRR). These new methods of estimating the ridge parameter in LRR are evaluated by means of Monte Carlo simulations...</citationref>
