The paper introduces a general approach to constructing mixture-based gatekeeping procedures in multiplicity problems with two or more families of hypotheses. Mixture procedures serve as extensions of and overcome limitations of some previous gatekeeping approaches such as parallel gatekeeping and tree-structured gatekeeping. This paper offers a general theory of mixture procedures constructed ...

the main goal of the present paper is to extend classical results from the measure theory and dynamical systems to the fuzzy subset setting. in this paper, the notion of  dynamic equivalence relation is introduced and then it is proved that this relation is an equivalence relation. also, a new metric on the collection of all equivalence classes is introduced and it is proved that this metric is...

contemporary sociology in many ways still depends on the classical theories. the emergence of new phenomena and their increasing importance in the modern society requires new explanations. the qualitative and quantitative growth of sciences, especially humanities, in the last hundred years has made various scientific disciplines dependent on each other. this is what makes the work of contempora...

The paper proposes a recursive algorithm for estimation of mixtures with state-space components and a dynamic model of switching. Bayesian methodology is adopted. The main features of the presented approach are: (i) recursiveness that enables a real-time performance of the algorithm; (ii) one-pass elaboration of the data sample; (iii) dynamic nature of the model of switching active components; ...

Dynamic modulus is a key evaluation index of the high-modulus asphalt mixture, but it relatively difficult to test and collect its data. The purpose achieve accurate prediction dynamic mixture further optimize design process mixture. Five high-temperature performance indexes were selected. correlation between above five was analyzed. On this basis, models based on small sample data established ...

In conventional power plants trash-racks are provided at the intakes to protect the turbines. In pumped storage plants, the draft tube or tailrace must also have trash-racks to protect the units while pumping. Because the loads believed to cause many failures of trash-racks are dynamic in nature, it is important to understand the dynamic characteristics of trash-rack structures in general and a...

We present a method for acoustic-articulatory inversion whose targets are the abstract tract variables from task dynamic theory. Towards this end we construct a non-linear Hammerstein system whose parameters are updated with adaptive kernel canonical correlation analysis. This approach is notably semi-analytical and applicable to large sets of data. Training behaviour is compared across four ke...

the complete 3d nonlinear dynamic problem of extensible, flexible risers conveying fluid is considered. for describing the dynamics of the system, the newtonian derivation procedure is followed. the velocity field inside the pipe formulated using hydrostatic and bernoulli equations. the hydrodynamic effects of external fluids are taken into consideration through the nonlinear drag forces in var...
