Recently, a computationally-efficient method was presented for calibrating a wide-class of Markov processes from discrete-sampled abundance data. The method was illustrated with respect to one-dimensional processes and required the assumption of stationarity. Here we demonstrate that the...

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...

We derive the second order asymptotic bias for a statistic evaluating the quality of out-of-sample forecasts by parametric models. The existing literature admits that the quality of the first order asymptotic approximation may be unsatisfactory. We find that the second order asymptotic bias...

The growth rate of different economies in Europe depends strongly on the production and, especially, on the consumption of energy resources. As an empirical rule, the development of such economies is closely interrelated with a consistent CO2 emission into atmosphere. However, this aspect has a...

Prediction is a very important and not so easy task for an actuary. An insurance company needs predictions of the future claims in order to evaluate premiums, to assess its financial situation, probabilities of ruin, etc. Therefore, modeling the claims distribution is of great importance, but...

In this paper gray-box models of the residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system were developed. The HVAC system comprises of several subsystems such as energy recovery ventilator (ERV), air handling unit (AHU), buffer tank (BT), radiant floor heating (RFH) system, zone...

The mathematical modeling of the unsaturated flow problem requires the simultaneous resolution of two problems: the Richards equation and the estimation of the hydraulic parameters involved in hydraulic conductivity and in the retention curve. Various techniques have been applied to both...

The generic and simple version of SALUS (System Approach to Land Use Sustainability) crop model was recently integrated in the DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) cropping system model to provide an alternative approach to more complex crop models without the need for a...
