in the ordinary linear models, regressing the residuals against lagged values has been suggested as an approach to test the hypothesis of zero autocorrelation among residuals. in this paper we extend these results to the both equally and unequally replicated functionally measurement error models. we consider the equally and unequally replicated cases separately, because in the first case the re...

After GSM(2G) and UMTS(3G), 'Long Term Evolution' (4G) networks are gaining popularity as the latest mobile telecommunication standard. The prospective roll out plans for LTE in The Netherlands emphasize the need for accuracy in the LTE performance optimization and prediction models. The drawback of theoretically based modeling approaches are that they lack knowledge about the performance and p...

Definition of appropriate measures of organization’s performance should be conducted in a systematic way. In this paper the performance measurement and indicators are discussed not only from the side of management models, but also from the point of view of measurement theories to find out appropriate definitions.
