• Support Vector Machine (SVM) is known in classification and regression modeling. It has been receiving attention in the application of nonlinear functions. The aim is to motivate the use of the SVM approach to analyze the time series models. This is an effort to assess the performance of SVM in comparison with ARMA model. The applicability of this approach for a unit root situation is also co...

141 To generate identification data, we simulated this system using the feedback law u(t) = r(t) 0 (00:95q 02)y(t) = r(t) + 0:95y(t 0 2) (43) which places the closed-loop poles in 0.8618 and 0.6382. In the simulation we used independent, zero-mean, Gaussian white noise reference and noise signals fr(t)g and fe(t)g with variances 1 and 0.01, respectively. N = 200 data samples were used. In Table...

Regular endurance training improves performance during tasks that rely mainly on aerobic energy metabolism, in large part by increasing the body’s ability to transport and utilize oxygen and by altering substrate metabolism in working skeletal muscle (Saltin & Gollnick, 1983). In contrast, highintensity “sprint”-type exercise training is generally thought to have less of an effect on oxidative ...

We investigate whether corporations are following the “best disclosure practices” when presenting business reports on their Web sites. As a benchmark, we use the recommendations made by the Jenkins Committee (1994) to improve corporate reporting practices, to evaluate reports presented on corporate Web sites for their value, relevance, and quality of information. We compute a disclosure score u...
