In this research study, one of the most crucial automotive engineering problems is intended to be solved. The necessity of tire pressure monitoring system is beyond doubt. Such systems are now provided relying on expensive sensors. In this study an indirect tire pressure monitoring system is proposed, utilizing identification techniques, which will reduce the cost of monitoring considerably in ...

The asymptotic efficiency of the indirect estimation methods, such as the efficient method of moments and indirect inference, depends on the choice of the auxiliary model. Up to date, this choice is somehow ad hoc and based on an educated guess of the researcher. In this article we develop three information criteria that help the user to optimize the choice among nested and non–nested auxiliary...

network scale-up is an indirect method for estimating the size of hidden, hard-to-count or high risk populations. social network size estimation is the first step in this method. the present study was conducted with the purpose of estimating the social network size of the tehran province residents and its determinants.maximum likelihood estimation was applied to estimate people's network sizes ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of indirect methods of assessment of VO2max for estimation of physical capacity of trained male and female rowers during a training cycle. A group of 8 female and 14 male rowers performed the maximal intensity test simulating the regatta distance (a 2 km test) and a submaximal incremental exercise test on a rowing ergometer. The suitability of...

Background: Estimation of the size of hidden and hard-to-reach sub-populations, such as drug-abusers, is a very important but difficult task. Network scale up (NSU) is one of the indirect size estimation techniques, which relies on the frequency of people belonging to a sub-population of interest among the social network of a random sample of the general population. In this study, we estimated ...

-The indirect determination of trace amounts of phosphate through estimation of the molybdenum in the phosphomolybdic acid complex has been improved. The lower limit of spectrophotomctric determination is about 0.I0 pg P.

For many natural turbulent dynamic systems, observed high dimensional dynamic data can be approximated at slow time scales by a process Xt driven by a systems of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). When one tries to estimate the parameters of this unobservable SDEs systems, there is a clear mismatch between the available data and the SDEs dynamics to be parametrized. Here, we formalize th...

It is well known that under low sample support of the correlation matrix, low rank solutions of the Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) problem can yield better performance than the full rank solution. A new adaptive approach, Indirect Dominant Mode Rejection (IDMR), was introduced in previous work to solve the MVDR optimization problem. In this paper we extend IDMR beamformers from...

Evidence of clinical utility is a key issue in translating pharmacogenomics into clinical practice. Appropriately designed randomized controlled trials generally provide the most robust evidence of the clinical utility, but often only data from a pharmacogenomic association study are available. This paper details a method for reframing the results of pharmacogenomic association studies in terms...
