Rainfall is one of the climatic elements in tropics which very influential agriculture, especially determining growing season. Thus, proper rainfall modeling needed to help determine best time start cultivating soil. can be done using Statistical Downscaling (SDS) method. SDS a statistical model field climatology analyze relationship between large-scale and small-scale climate data. This study ...

The impact of financial challenges on the profit of a supply chain, have caused the researcher to model the supply chain network by considering the operational and financial dimensions. Also, the establishment of a closed loop supply chain (CLSC) network has a high effect on economic profit. So, the purpose of this study is to design a stochastic closed loop supply chain network by considering ...

Mixed models, with both random and fixed effects, are most often estimated on the assumption that the random effects are normally distributed. In this paper we propose several formal tests of the hypothesis that the random effects and/or errors are normally distributed. Most of the proposed methods can be extended to generalized linear models where tests for non-normal distributions are of inte...
