This document summarizes the properties of two maximum likelihood estimators of the mean of a truncated exponential distribution. The estimators are based on either a random sample from the full exponential distribution or from the truncated exponential distribution. A simulation study with 50,000 trials evaluates the moment properties of the estimators. The results show that the estimator based on the full exponential distribution has lower variance and mean squared error compared to the estimator based on the truncated distribution, making it more efficient. The relative efficiency of the truncated estimator approaches 1 as the truncation point increases.
When spatial data are distributed across multiple servers, there is an obvious difficulty with computing the likelihood function without combining all the data onto one server. Therefore, it would be of interest to compute estimates of the spatial parameters based on decompositions of the spatial held into blocks, each block corresponding to one server. Two methods suggest themselves, a \between blocks" approach in which each block is reduced to a single observation (or a low dimensional summary) to facilitate calculation of a likelihood across blocks, or a within blocks" approach in which the likelihood is calculated for each block and then combined into an overall likelihood for the full process. In fact, I argue that a hybrid approach that combines both ideas is best. Theoretical calculations are provided for the statistical efficiency of each approach. In conclusion, I will present some thoughts for optimal sampling designs with distributed data.
- The document discusses a correlation analysis between per capita cheese consumption and deaths from bedsheet entanglement using annual data from 2000-2009.
- Computing the correlation coefficient results in a highly statistically significant correlation. However, examining plots of the data reveals the means are trending over time, violating the assumption of constant means.
- This implies the estimates and statistical tests are unreliable and the results may be statistically spurious. To address this, the data can be detrended using auxiliary regressions to remove the trends before reanalyzing the correlation.

Conditional mixture model for modeling attributed dyadic dataLoc Nguyen
Dyadic data contains co-occurrences of objects, which is often modeled by finite mixture model which in turn is learned by expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. Objects in traditional dyadic data are identified by names, causing the drawback which is that it is impossible to extract implicit valuable knowledge under objects. In this research, I propose the so-called attributed dyadic data (ADD) in which each object has an informative attribute and each co-occurrence of two objects is associated with a value. ADD is flexible and covers most of structures / forms of dyadic data. Conditional mixture model (CMM), which is a variant of finite mixture model, is applied into learning ADD. Moreover, a significant feature of CMM is that any co-occurrence of two objects is based on some conditional variable. As a result, CMM can predict or estimate co-occurrent values based on regression model, which extends applications of ADD and CMM.

An improvised similarity measure for generalized fuzzy numbersjournalBEEI
Similarity measure between two fuzzy sets is an important tool for comparing various characteristics of the fuzzy sets. It is a preferred approach as compared to distance methods as the defuzzification process in obtaining the distance between fuzzy sets will incur loss of information. Many similarity measures have been introduced but most of them are not capable to discriminate certain type of fuzzy numbers. In this paper, an improvised similarity measure for generalized fuzzy numbers that incorporate several essential features is proposed. The features under consideration are geometric mean averaging, Hausdorff distance, distance between elements, distance between center of gravity and the Jaccard index. The new similarity measure is validated using some benchmark sample sets. The proposed similarity measure is found to be consistent with other existing methods with an advantage of able to solve some discriminant problems that other methods cannot. Analysis of the advantages of the improvised similarity measure is presented and discussed. The proposed similarity measure can be incorporated in decision making procedure with fuzzy environment for ranking purposes.
LOGNORMAL ORDINARY KRIGING METAMODEL IN SIMULATION OPTIMIZATIONorajjournal
This paper presents a lognormal ordinary kriging (LOK) metamodel algorithm and its application to
optimize a stochastic simulation problem. Kriging models have been developed as an interpolation method
in geology. They have been successfully used for the deterministic simulation optimization (SO) problem. In

researchers have begun using ordinary kriging through global optimization in stochastic systems. The
goals of this study are to present LOK metamodel algorithm and to analyze the result of the application
step-by-step. The results show that LOK is a powerful alternative metamodel in simulation optimization
when the data are too skewed.

This document discusses Poynting's theorem and reciprocity relations for discontinuous electromagnetic fields across interfaces using a distributional approach. It examines three cases: 1) a dielectric-PEC interface with only electric surface current, 2) a dielectric-dielectric interface with no surface currents, and 3) an interface between two arbitrary media with both electric and magnetic surface currents. For each case, it applies Poynting's theorem and the reciprocity theorem to derive boundary conditions in terms of a surface impedance tensor Z. The document concludes that interfaces can be rigorously treated as parts of space using a distributional approach and described using surface impedance tensors rather than boundary conditions.

This document summarizes research on modeling agricultural data with spatial and temporal dependencies. Key findings include:
1. A CAR (conditional autoregressive) model was found to best capture the spatially structured variation in soil moisture measurements across a field, with separate variance structures for each soil depth.
2. Treatment effects were best modeled using cubic radial basis functions with errors-in-measurement to account for uncertainty in depth measurements.
3. Expanding the model to four dimensions (space and time) required separating spatial and temporal random effects to accurately describe the full dataset across all measurement sites and days.
Adomian Decomposition Method for Certain Space-Time Fractional Partial Differ...IOSR Journals
This document presents an application of the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) to solve certain space-time fractional partial differential equations. It begins with an introduction to fractional calculus concepts and definitions. It then outlines the four cases of the ADM that are used to solve different types of space-time fractional PDEs. As an example, it presents the general steps of the direct ADM case to solve a linear space-time fractional PDE. The steps involve decomposing the unknown function into a series, determining the components recursively, and obtaining an approximate solution. Finally, several examples are solved to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ADM for fractional PDEs.
This document discusses constraints on parity violating conformal field theories in 3 dimensions from the positivity of energy flux. It considers local perturbations created by the stress tensor or conserved current with specific polarizations. The energy measured in different directions is defined and required to be positive. This leads to constraints on the parameter space of 3-point functions involving the stress tensor and current. Explicit calculations are shown for the energy matrix corresponding to charge excitations, with off-diagonal elements arising from parity violating terms in 3-point functions. Positivity of energy flux implies an inequality constraint on the parameters.
The document describes a recursive algorithm for multi-step prediction with mixture models that have dynamic switching between components. It begins by introducing notations and reviewing individual models, including normal regression components and static/dynamic switching models. It then presents the mixture prediction algorithm, first for a static switching model by constructing a predictive distribution from weighted component predictions. For a dynamic switching model, it similarly takes point estimates from the previous time and substitutes them into components to make weighted averaged predictions over multiple steps. The algorithm is summarized as initializing component statistics and parameter estimates, then substituting previous estimates into components to obtain weighted mixture predictions for new data points.

Lossless image compression using new biorthogonal waveletssipij
Even though a large number of wavelets exist, one needs new wavelets for their specific applications. One
of the basic wavelet categories is orthogonal wavelets. But it was hard to find orthogonal and symmetric
wavelets. Symmetricity is required for perfect reconstruction. Hence, a need for orthogonal and symmetric
arises. The solution was in the form of biorthogonal wavelets which preserves perfect reconstruction
condition. Though a number of biorthogonal wavelets are proposed in the literature, in this paper four new
biorthogonal wavelets are proposed which gives better compression performance. The new wavelets are
compared with traditional wavelets by using the design metrics Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and
Compression Ratio (CR). Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) coding algorithm was utilized to
incorporate compression of images.

An investigation of inference of the generalized extreme value distribution b...Alexander Decker
This document presents an investigation of parameter estimation for the generalized extreme value distribution based on record values. Maximum likelihood estimation is used to estimate the parameters β (scale parameter) and ξ (shape parameter). Likelihood equations are derived and solved numerically. Bootstrap and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are proposed to construct confidence intervals for the parameters since intervals based on asymptotic normality may not perform well due to small sample sizes of records. Bayesian estimation of the parameters using MCMC is also investigated. An illustrative example involving simulated records is provided.

This document proposes a low complexity algorithm for jointly estimating the reflection coefficient, spatial location, and Doppler shift of a target for MIMO radar systems. It splits the estimation problem into two parts. The first part estimates the reflection coefficient in closed form. The second part jointly estimates the spatial location and Doppler shift using a 2D FFT approach. This allows significantly lower computational complexity compared to maximum likelihood estimation. Simulation results show the proposed estimator achieves the Cramér-Rao lower bound, providing optimal performance with low complexity.
Optimum Algorithm for Computing the Standardized Moments Using MATLAB 7.10(R2...Waqas Tariq
A fundamental task in many statistical analyses is to characterize the location and variability of a data set. A further characterization of the data includes skewness and kurtosis. This paper emphasizes the real time computational problem for generally the rth standardized moments and specially for both skewness and kurtosis. It has therefore been important to derive an optimum computational technique for the standardized moments. A new algorithm has been designed for the evaluation of the standardized moments. The evaluation of error analysis has been discussed. The new algorithm saved computational energy by approximately 99.95% than that of the previously published algorithms.

This document proposes a new test statistic for testing the equality of two means from independent samples with unequal variances (known as the Behrens-Fisher problem). It develops a test that uses the harmonic mean of the sample variances instead of the pooled variance. Through simulation, it determines the degrees of freedom for the distribution of the harmonic mean that allows it to be approximated by the chi-square distribution. It then provides an example application to agricultural yield data to demonstrate how the new test statistic can be used.

This document summarizes an analytical method to predict stability derivatives of oscillating delta wings with curved leading edges in the Newtonian limit. The method uses Ghosh similitude and strip theory to derive expressions for stability derivatives in pitch and roll. The expressions become exact in the Newtonian limit and show the derivatives depend on wing geometry. As planform area increases, stiffness derivative increases, and the center of pressure shifts towards the trailing edge for convex versus concave planforms. Good agreement is found with other theories for special cases. Results show stiffness and damping derivatives vary linearly or non-linearly with geometry parameters like amplitude, planform area, and pivot position.
DESPECKLING OF SAR IMAGES BY OPTIMIZING AVERAGED POWER SPECTRAL VALUE IN CURV...ijistjournal
The document describes a novel algorithm for despeckling synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images using particle swarm optimization (PSO) in the curvelet domain. The algorithm first identifies homogeneous regions in the speckled image using variance calculations. It then uses PSO to optimize the thresholding of curvelet coefficients, with the objective of minimizing the average power spectral value. This provides an optimized threshold to apply curvelet-based despeckling. The proposed method is tested on standard images and shown to outperform conventional filters like median and Lee filters in reducing speckle noise.

BROAD UNEXPOSED SKILLS OF TRANSGENDER ENTREPRENEURSIAEME Publication
Since ages gender difference is always a debatable theme whether caused by nature, evolution or environment. The birth of a transgender is dreadful not only for the child but also for their parents. The pain of living in the wrong physique and treated as second class victimized citizen is outrageous and fully harboured with vicious baseless negative scruples. For so long, social exclusion had perpetuated inequality and deprivation experiencing ingrained malign stigma and besieged victims of crime or violence across their life spans. They are pushed into the murky way of life with a source of eternal disgust, bereft sexual potency and perennial fear. Although they are highly visible but very little is known about them. The common public needs to comprehend the ravaged arrogance on these insensitive souls and assist in integrating them into the mainstream by offering equal opportunity, treat with humanity and respect their dignity. Entrepreneurship in the current age is endorsing the gender fairness movement. Unstable careers and economic inadequacy had inclined one of the gender variant people called Transgender to become entrepreneurs. These tiny budding entrepreneurs resulted in economic transition by means of employment, free from the clutches of stereotype jobs, raised standard of living and handful of financial empowerment. Besides all these inhibitions, they were able to witness a platform for skill set development that ignited them to enter into entrepreneurial domain.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
