Comparing partial and truncated conglomerates from a concentration theoretic point of view

چکیده
When studying numerical properties of a population (technically: a conglomerate) it often happens that not all data are known. It might be that the total number of objects (persons) in the population is known, but that data on a number of them is missing. It even happens frequently that the total number of objects (N) is unknown. Referring to the population as 'sources' and to the property under investigation as 'items' or as 'the production', the whole dataset of this conglomerate can be represented as an N-vector. I n this article N-vectors representing sources and their respective productions are studied from the point of view of concentration theory. Partial vectors (N is known, but data concerning the least productive sources are missing) and truncated vectors (N is unknown) are compared in two ways. First order comparisons study vectors, while second-order comparisons study differences between vectors. I n the case of first-order comparisons, it is shown that truncated vectors may be incomparable, while partial ones are always completely comparable. Similarly for second-order comparisons, partial vectors can be compared and yield a totally ordered double sequence, while truncated ones may be incomparable. Finally, we describe how to make second-order comparisons for vectors with a different number of sources.

Bayesian Prediction Intervals under Bivariate Truncated Generalized Cauchy Distribution
Ateya and Madhagi (2011) introduced a multivariate form of truncated generalized Cauchy distribution (TGCD), which introduced by Ateya and Al-Hussaini (2007). The multivariate version of (TGCD) is denoted by (MVTGCD). Among the features of this form are that subvectors and conditional subvectors of random vectors, distributed according to this distribution, have the same form of distribution ...

This study was designed to investigate the effect of grammar and vocabulary pre-teaching, as two types of pre-reading activities, on the Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension from a schema–theoretic perspective. The sample consisted of 90 female students studying at pre-university centers of Isfahan. The subjects were randomly divided into three equal-in-number groups. They participated ...
متن کاملComparing the effect of NaCl and KCl on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes with a view to NaCl replacement
In this study, the effects of various concentrations of NaCl and KCl and partial replacement of NaCl withKCl on the growth characteristics of L. monocytogenes were evaluated. It was found that L. monocytogenescan grow in the presence of 1-9% NaCl and 1-11% KCl. The higher the concentration of salt used, the longerthe lag phase induced. In addition, it was observed that L. monocytogenes tolerate...

In this paper, author proves the algorithms for the existence as well as the approximation of solutions to a couple of periodic boundary value problems of nonlinear first order ordinary integro-differential equations using operator theoretic techniques in a partially ordered metric space. The main results rely on the Dhage iteration method embodied in the recent hybrid fixed point theorems of D...
