A new parametric minimum distance time-domain estimator for ARFIMA processes is introduced in this paper. The proposed estimator minimizes the sum of squared correlations of residuals obtained after filtering a series through ARFIMA parameters. The estimator is easy to compute and is consistent and asymptotically normally distributed for fractionally integrated (FI) processes with an integratio...

In a recent work, Blanc, Le Bris, and Lions defined a notion of increment-stationarity for random point sets, which allowed them to prove the existence of a thermodynamic limit for two-body potential energies on such point sets (under the additional assumption of ergodicity), and to introduce a variant of stochastic homogenization for increment-stationary coefficients. Whereas stationary random...

a one kb portion of the rpos gene from flexibacter chinensis was isolated by pcr, sequenced and compared to the rpos gene of a variety of other organisms. the gene was found to be 98% similar to previously sequenced genes. mutation of the rpos gene with tri-parental mating produced strain jr101 and the growth rate of the mutant was compared with that of the wild-type. the mutant grew slower, an...

determination of mobile localization with time of arrival (toa) signal is a requirement in cellular mobile communication. in some of the previous methods, localization with non-line-of-sight (nlos) paths can lead to large position error. also for simplicity, in most simulations suppose non stationary actual environments as stationary. this paper proposes (residual test + recursive least square)...
