An empirical assessment shows that Malaysia’s business cycle indicators can be improved. Turning point detection is not impressive, especially for troughs. Lead times are also variable. However, the relationship between the leading and coincident indicators over the entire cycle shows quite strong correlations from the late 1980s onwards, although lead times have shortened. Empirical evidence i...

Here f ∈ L(Ω) , g ∈ H(∂Ω) and Ω is a bounded domain in R with the smooth boundary ∂Ω ( see Figure 1 ). The method of lines for solving Problem I works well if Ω is a rectangular domain since the finite difference solution is expressed explicitly by use of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the finite difference scheme([BGN70], [Nak65]). But one says that this method seems difficult to be applied ...

Consider the following special case of planar point location: preprocess k sets of lines, where each set consists of parallel lines, to support queries of the form “given a point p, what is the line immediately above or below p?” What is the fastest possible query time as a function of k and the total number n of lines? In other words, the n given lines have k distinct orientations. See Figure ...

Use case size point (USP) method has been proposed to estimate object oriented software development effort in early phase of software project and used in a lot of software organizations. Intuitively, USP is measured by counting the number of actors, preconditions, post conditions, scenarios included in use case models. In this paper have presented a Adaptive fuzzy Neural Network model to estima...

In this paper, we describe an automatic people-counting system based on a wireless sensor network at a mountain area. Several people-counting systems have been proposed separately. However, these systems are not suitable to a place such as the mountain area because of a few problems. In this paper, we develop a system which can count the number of visiting people and sense environment informati...

We discuss a method to compute the microcanonical entropy at fixed magnetization without direct counting. Our approach is based on evaluation of saddle-point leading an optimization problem. The applied benchmark Ising model with simultaneous presence mean-field and nearest-neighbour interactions for which counting indeed possible, thus allowing comparison. Moreover, we apply mean-field, next-n...

Counting dense crowds through computer vision technology has attracted widespread attention. Most crowd counting datasets use point annotations. In this paper, we formulate as a measure regression problem to minimize the distance between two measures with different supports and unequal total mass. Specifically, adopt unbalanced optimal transport distance, which remains stable under spatial pert...
