In this paper, the multipath time delay estimation (TDE) problem for a slow frequency hopping (SFH) system using rank revealing QR factorization method (RRQR) is considered. It gives precious information about numerical rank and null space. By applying the RRQR in association with the well-known...

This paper explores the theory behind the rich and robust family of »-stable distributions to estimate parameters from financial asset log-returns data. We discuss four-parameter estimation methods including the quantiles, logarithmic moments method, maximum likelihood (ML), and the empirical...

This paper provides a complete program for the valuation of aggregate non-life insurance liability cash flows based on claims triangle data. The valuation is fully consistent with the principle of valuation by considering the costs associated with a transfer of the liability to a so-called...

In this paper, the Local Global Neural Networks model is proposed within the context of time series models. This formulation encompasses some already existing nonlinear models and also admits the Mixture of Experts approach. We place emphasis on the linear expert case and extensively discuss the...

Driven by increased complexity of dynamical systems, the solution of system of differential equations through numerical simulation in optimization problems has become computationally expensive. This paper provides a smart data driven mechanism to construct low dimensional surrogate models. These...

This paper presents the construction of a particle filter, which incorporates elements inspired by genetic algorithms, in order to achieve accelerated adaptation of the estimated posterior distribution to changes in model parameters. Specifically, the filter is designed for the situation where...

In this article, our goal is to improve the estimation of the parameters of solar photovoltaic models, we propose a method based on Simulated Annealing (SA) Optimization, the proposed algorithm takes into account the uncertainties of measurements. This algorithm consists of three steps such as...

Recently, the application of the proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is extensively increasing as a popular renewable energy source. PEMFCs need low temperature for the operation along with high power density and easy implementation ability. These characteristics turned them into the...

This paper presents a new optimal method for model estimation of the unknown parameters of circuit-based proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The main idea is to minimize the sum of squared error (SSE) value between the actual data and the estimated results. The optimization process...
