The proximate analysis is the most common form of coal evaluation and it reveals the quality of a coal sample. It examines four factors including the moisture, ash, volatile matter (VM), and fixed carbon (FC) within the coal sample. Every factor is determined through a distinct experimental procedure under ASTM specified conditions. These determinations are time consuming and require a signific...

Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is the state of the art algorithm for many games including the game of Go and General Game Playing (GGP). The standard algorithm for MCTS is Upper Confidence bounds applied to Trees (UCT). For games such as Go a big improvement over UCT is the Rapid Action Value Estimation (RAVE) heuristic. We propose to generalize the RAVE heuristic so as to have more accurate es...

this research estimates the monetary value of internet information for each type of information and services by using hedonic pricing method. the statistic social of this research is high-speed internet users in tehran. based on the results, high speed internet users of tehran consider a positive monetary value for some information types in the internet, in descendent respect, such as film down...

anzali porter is one of the cities that is located in gilan province, is important because it's recreational and tourism attraction in the region. therefore, the study of recreational value can affect prediction requires, shortage removal and recreation expansion in the region. the purpose of current study is to estimate the recreational value of anzali wetland with contingent valuation me...

In this paper, a maximum likelihood estimation and a minimum entropy estimation for the expected value and variance of normal fuzzy variable are discussed within the framework of credibility theory. As an application, a credibilistic portfolio selection model is proposed, which is an improvement over the traditional models as it only needs the predicted values on the security returns instead of...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new estimation method for estimating the Archimedean copula dependence parameter in the non-parametric setting. The estimation of the dependence parameter has been selected as the value that minimizes the Cramér-von-Mises distance which measures the distance between Empirical Bernstein Kendall distribution function and true Kendall distribution functi...

This paper deals with the asymptotic stability analysis of a discrete dynamical inclusion whose right-hand side is a convex process. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for weak asymptotic stability, and obtain sharp estimates for the asymptotic null-controllability set. These estimates involve not only standard, but also higher-order spectral information on the convex process and it...

This paper applies the extreme value theory to the Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) . In particular, the choice of the standard multiple is detailed according to the statistical estimation of the behaviour of extreme variations in rates of assets returns. Moreover, we introduce the distributions of interarrival times of these extreme movements and show their impact on the portfoli...
