We assume that a functional of interest ϕ ∈ R is represented as an expectation of some random variable ζ: ϕ ≈ Eζ One evaluates the value of Eζ using a sample mean Eζ ≈ ¯ ζ = L −1 L i=1 ζ i where sample values ζ i are independent and identically distributed random variables having the same distribution as ζ. One also needs to evaluate a second moment Eζ 2 of the random variable Eζ 2 ≈ ¯ ξ = L −1...

BACKGROUND Few research projects have looked at patient satisfaction with treatment outcome and factors contributing to satisfaction. The aim of this study was to examine treatment motivation and expectation associated with treatment-outcome satisfaction in a group of adolescent nonextraction orthodontic patients. We hypothesized that there would be significant correlations among treatment-outc...

In the flexible planning for distribution networks considering distributed generations, a reasonable scheme can improve flexibility of network concerning integration new energy and keep system running in stable interval. A multi-objective constrained method is proposed. Firstly, programming model expectation cost regret, outage loss, load balance source established. Then, uncertainty wind turbi...

Competing risks are frequently overlooked, and the event of interest is analyzed with conventional statistical techniques. In this article, we consider analysis bi-causes failure in context competing risk models using extension exponential distribution under progressive Type-II censoring. Maximum likelihood estimates for unknown parameters via expectation-maximization algorithm obtained. Moreov...

For linear time varying (LTV) multiple input output (MIMO) systems with vector relative degree, an open-closed-loop iterative learning control (ILC) strategy is developed in this article, where the interval of operation iteration dependent. To compensate missing tracking signal caused by dependent interval, feedback introduced ILC design. As many continuous iterations lost a certain part can em...

This paper attempted to explore the expectation level of individuals to match themselves with the career offers and their awareness level to make the right decision in choosing right career in an economy of unemployment problems especially among the educated persons. This descriptive analytical research work is done on the basis of perceptions of students of different levels of education. The s...

Various studies have validated that genetic divergence in dairy cattle translates to phenotypic differences; nonetheless, many consider the breeding goal, or associated traits, generally been small scale, often undertaken controlled environments, and they lack consideration for entire suite of traits included goal. Therefore, objective present study was fill this void, doing so, provide produce...

Estimates of genetic correlations were .17 between first lactation milk yield and concurrent calving interval, .10 between second lactation milk yield and first calving interval, and .82 between first and second milk yields. Corresponding phenotypic correlations were .27, .16, and .58. Heritability estimates were .27 and .25 for first and second lactations and .15 for calving interval. Estimate...

in this paper, we determine the structure of the space of multipliers of the range of a composition operator cφ that induces by the conditional expectation between two lp() spaces.
