It has been a conventional wisdom that the two-sample version of the goodness-of-fit test like the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramér-von Mises and Anderson-Darling tests fail to have good power particularly against very specific alternatives. We show that a modified version of Neyman Smooth test that...

The framework of multifractal analysis (MFA) is distilled to the most sophisticated one. Within this transparent framework, it is shown that the harmonious representation of MFA utilizing two distinct Tsallis distribution functions, one for the tail part of probability density function (PDF) and...

We study the dependence of the CNO nuclear reaction rates on temperature, in the range of 107–108K, the typical range of temperature evolution from a Sun-like star towards a white dwarf. We show that the temperature dependence of the CNO nuclear reaction rates is strongly affected by the...

This paper presents a simplified algorithm to estimate the monthly performance of autonomous small-scale wind energy systems with battery storage. The novel model is drawn based on the simulation results, using eight-year long hour-by-hour measured wind speed data from five different locations...
