چکیده

The current paper reports analyses of the structure of variability in a time-estimation task. Children between 5 and 11 years pressed a button each time they judged that a brief time interval had passed. In two conditions, children either picked their own time interval, their preferred pace, or they were given an imposed pace of 400 ms (2.5 Hz). The resulting trial series were subjected to detrended fluctuation analysis to estimate the complexity of the temporal coordination between child and task. Results show a developmental trend, from an overly random to more clearly fractal performance when the target time interval was predetermined by the experimenter, but not when the target time interval was chosen spontaneously.

TREND-CYCLE ESTIMATION USING FUZZY TRANSFORM OF HIGHER DEGREE

In this paper, we provide theoretical justification for the application of higher degree fuzzy transform in time series analysis. Under the assumption that a time series can be additively decomposed into a trend-cycle, a seasonal component and a random noise, we demonstrate that the higher degree fuzzy transform technique can be used for the estimation of the trend-cycle, which is one of the ba...

Isotonic Change Point Estimation in the AR(1) Autocorrelated Simple Linear Profiles

Sometimes the relationship between dependent and explanatory variable(s) known as profile is monitored. Simple linear profiles among the other types of profiles have been more considered due to their applications especially in calibration. There are some studies on the monitoring them when the observations within each profile are autocorrelated. On the other hand, estimating the change point le...

Change Point Estimation of a Process Variance with a Linear Trend Disturbance

When a change occurs in a process, one expects to receive a signal from a control chart as quickly as possible. Upon the receipt of signal from the control chart a search for identifying the source of disturbance begins. However, searching for assignable cause around the signal time, due to the fact that the disturbance may have manifested itself into the rocess sometimes back, may not always l...
