Estimation of nonlinear models findsapplications in every field of engineering andthe sciences. Much work has been done tobuild solid statistical theories for its use andinterpretation. However, there has been littleanalysis of the tolerance of nonlinear modelestimators to deviations from...

The deregulation of the Electricity Sector in US has led to a tremendous increase in the inter-regional wholesale electricity trade between neighboring utilities or regions. For instance, the generation deficit regions may choose to import power from surplus regions; thus the wholesale...

In deformation based morphometry (DBM) group-wise differences in brain structure are measuredusing deformable registration and some form of statistical test. However, it is known that DBMresults are sensitive to both the registration method and statistical test used. Given the lack of...
