It is very much a socio-cultural and philosophical syst...

For the study of dynamic dependence structures, we introduce the concept of pseudo-copulas, extending Patton’s (2001a) definition of conditional copulas, and state the equivalent of Sklar’s theorem for pseudo-copulas. We establish asymptotic normality of nonparametric estimators of the pseudo-copulas under strong mixing assumptions, and discuss applications to specification tests. We complement...

in this paper, we have tried to analyze and asses the process of formation and spatial – structural evolution of iranian-islamic cities through tehran case study as well as how to organize and effecting different factors specially modernism on urban elements. also we have discussed about formation and emergence of tehran and the effect of different pre modernism and postmodernism socio-economic...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of fantastic deductive systems on generalizations of fuzzy structures, and to emphasize their role in the probability theory on these algebras. We give a characterization of commutative pseudo-BE algebras and we generalize an axiom system consisting of four identities to the case of commutative pseudo-BE algebras. We define the fantastic deductiv...
