We present a new method of estimating the dispersion of a distribution which is based on the surprising property of a function that measures information processing intensity. It turns out that this function has a maximum at its fixed point. Fixed-point equation is used to estimate the parameter...

Information inequalities in a general sequential model for stochastic processes are presented by applying the approach to estimation through estimating functions. Using this approach, Bayesian versions of the information inequalities are also obtained. In particular, exponential-family processes...

A new lumped-parameter equivalent circuit model using three-diodes is presented in this work for large area (∼154.8 cm2) industrial silicon solar cells. The estimation of values of ideality factors n1 (1) and n2 (2) using a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for the two-diode model...

In the present study, an inverse problem to estimate parameters in the Zener model of viscoelasticity based on the generalized fractional element (GFE) network is studied. The Bayesian method is proposed to obtain the optimal estimation of the viscoelastic parameters. Three examples are...

Real networks often exhibit nontrivial topological features that do not occur in random graphs. The need for synthesizing realistic networks has resulted in development of various network models. In this paper, we address the problem of selecting and calibrating the model that best fits a given...

Рассматривается алгоритм идентификации статического объекта с ограничениями. Предлагается случай, когда ошибка измерения выхода объекта y приводит к выходу...

Получены результаты для случая, когда неизвестные параметры содержатся в уравнениях состояния и наблюдения, начальных условиях и ковариационных матрицах помех...

External demand was the main driver of growth in Thailand in 2006 and 2007. However, WEO projections indicate moderating foreign demand in 2008, with U.S. growth being revised downwards to reflect the turmoil in housing and credit markets, and high oil prices. While the share of Thai exports to...

Estimation results in linear regression models are sometimes in contrast with what was expected on the basis of a certain set of hypotheses or theory, in the sense that one or more parameters have the "wrong sign". One could be inclined to think that this is due to collinearity across...
