نویسنده
چکیده
We present ~ αPDE, a new multivariate analysis technique for parameter estimation. The method is based on a direct construction of joint probability densities of known variables and the parameters to be estimated. We show how posterior densities and best-value estimates are then obtained for the parameters of interest by a straightforward manipulation of these densities. The method is essentially non-parametric and allows for an intuitive graphical interpretation. We illustrate the method by outlining how it can be used to estimate the mass of the top quark, and we explain how the method is applied to an ensemble of events containing background.

BLIND PARAMETER ESTIMATION OF A RATE k/n CONVOLUTIONAL CODE IN NOISELESS CASE
This paper concerns to blind identification of a convolutional code with desired rate in a noiseless transmission scenario. To the best of our knowledge, blind estimation of convolutional code based on only the received bitstream doesn’t lead to a unique solution. Hence, without loss of generality, we will assume that the transmitter employs a non-catastrophic encoder. Moreover, we consider a c...

The linear δ expansion is applied to the 3-dimensional O(N) scalar field theory at its critical point in a way that is compatible with the large-N limit. For a range of the arbitrary mass parameter, the linear δ expansion for 〈~ φ 〉 converges, with errors decreasing like a power of the order n in δ. If the principal of minimal sensitivity is used to optimize the convergence rate, the errors see...

متن کاملEvaluation the Preharvest Application of Iron and Nitrogen on Some Qualitative Characteristics of Two Apple Cultivars during Cold Storage
Apple is one of the most important fruits in temperate zones with a long post-harvest life during cold storage. A factorial experiment, in a randomized completely block design was used to investigate the preharvest application of Iron (0, 500 and 1000 mg Fe-EDDHA per tree) and nitrogen (0, 48 and 96 g ammonium nitrate per tree( on some postharvest qualitative characteristics in "Red spur" and "...

A principal decay mode considered for the measurement of the angle α, is B d(t) → ππ. Unfortunately, this mode suffers from a well-known problem: penguin contributions may be large [2], and their presence will spoil the clean extraction of α. In the presence of penguin amplitudes, the CP asymmetry in B d(t) → ππ does not measure sin 2α, but rather some effective (“polluted”) angle 2αeff . We ma...
