In this work, we investigate a probabilistic method for electricity price forecasting, which overcomes traditional ones. We start considering statistical methods point forecast, comparing their performance in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and reliability, then exploit Neural Networks approaches to derive hybrid model type forecasting. show that our solution reaches the highest standard both ef...

the survival of the firms depends on the adoption of techniques and methods for encouraging learning among people. on other hand, it is necessary to have an attitude for interaction and endeavour in order for the learning to be built and conserved. therefore, committed people in organizations have always been emphasized as a driving force of the extension and creation of learning. the aim of th...

In this note, we propose a parametric inferential procedure for predicting future order statistics, based on record values, which takes inter-record times into account. We utilize the additional information contained in inter-record times for predicting future order statistics on the basis of observed record values from an independent sample. The two parameter exponential distribution is assume...

this study aimed to determine the relationship between suturing and electro-cautery methods of post-tonsillectomy homeostasis in imam khomeini hospital- kermanshah. an analytical study was performed on admitted patient's profiles from 2002-2004. data collection sheet was applied to extract all variables. descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. during that period 915 ...

This 13th article of the Basics of Research series is first in a short series on statistical analysis. These articles will discuss creating your statistical analysis plan, levels of measurement, descriptive statistics, probability theory, inferential statistics, and general considerations for interpretation of the results of a statistical analysis.

PURPOSE In communication disorders research, clinical groups are frequently described based on patterns of performance, but researchers often study only a few participants described by many quantitative and qualitative variables. These data are difficult to handle with standard inferential tools (e.g., analysis of variance or factor analysis) whose assumptions are unfit for these data. This art...
