In this work we propose a space-time block-coded (STBF) CDMA transmission system suitable for use with frequency domain equalization (FDE) algorithms. We illustrate the FDE by implementing the maximal ratio combining, the zero forcing and the minimum mean squared error single user detection algorithms. A diversity gain analysis is developed and some interesting results are pointed out. It is sh...

A small monthly macroeconometric model of the Canadian economy built around three cointegrating relationships linking financial and real variables is estimated over the 1975-2002 period. One of the cointegrating relationships allows the identification of a supply shock as the only shock affecting permanently the stock market and a demand shock leading to important transitory stock market overva...

Surface NO2 volume mixing ratio (VMR) at a specific time (13:45 Local time) (NO2 VMRST) and monthly mean surface NO2 VMR (NO2 VMRM) are estimated for the first time using three regression models with Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) data in four metropolitan cities in South Korea: Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daejeon, and Gwangju. Relationships between the surface NO2 VMR obtained from in situ measurement...

Dams have been always considered as the important infrastructures and their critical values are counted. Hence, evaluation and avoidance of dams’ destruction have a specific importance. Seepage occurrence in dams is an inevitable phenomenon. Despite all the progress in geotechnical engineering, up to now, seepage problem is the main conflict which occurs in dams. This study tried to estimate se...

This criterion should be contrasted with the RSS encountered earlier in the course. The RSS pertains to model estimation, since we are already assuming a given model for some particular data set; and it suffices to estimate the specific values of our estimators for the unknown parameters. The MSE combines the previous two criteria, on the unbiasedness and the variance of β̂, through the followin...
