In this paper, the functional-coefficient partially linear regression (FCPLR) model is proposed by combining nonparametric and functional-coefficient regression (FCR) model. It includes the FCR model and the nonparametric regression (NPR) model as its special cases. It is also a generalization...

In this paper, a model that assists developers to evaluate and compare alternative reuse scenarios in software product line (SPL) development systematically in proposed. The model can identify basic activities (abstracted as operations) and precisely relate cost and reliability with each basic...

Wavelets are applied to identify the time delay and thresholds in open-loop threshold autoregressive models. Based on Truong and Stone's lemma, the empirical wavelet coefficients of the data are defined. The time delay and thresholds are detected and then estimated by checking the variation of...
