We introduce the “sample” technique to generate robust critical values for the Jarque and Bera (JB) Lagrangian Multiplier (LM) test for normality, JBCV( 1 2 , k k ), by using improved critical values the true size of the test approaches its nominal value. Monte Carlo methods are used to study the size, and the power of the JB normality test with the “sample” critical values and compare with thr...

In this paper, a synthesis of the recently advanced Lagrange multiplier (LM)-based tests for the null of no cointegration which account for different patterns of breaks in the cointegrating relationship is provided. The limiting distributions of the test statistics are not only invariant to an intercept break and a break in the cointegrating vector, but are also invariant to a trend break in a ...

In this paper, a high performance, high throughput and area efficient architecture of a multiplier for the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGAs) is proposed. The most significant aspect of the proposed method is that, the developed multiplier architecture is based on vertical and crosswise structure of Ancient Indian Vedic Mathematics. As per The proposed architecture, for two 8-bit numbers; th...

background: chronic kidney disease is asymptomatic until its last stages and though it is increasing globally, we are faced with paucity of a population-based model to assess this disease, particularly in developing countries. therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and trends of ckd according to a new estimation method.   methods: using multiplier method, we estimated t...

the isogeometric analysis is increasingly used in various engineering problems. it is based on non-uniform rational b-splines (nurbs) basis function applied for the solution field approximation and the geometry description. one of the major concerns with this method is finding an efficient approach to impose essential boundary conditions, especially for inhomogeneous boundaries. the main contri...

In this work a parallel solution method for model predictive control is presented based on the alternating direction multiplier method. Our approach solves the overall problem by decomposing it along the time-axis into smaller subproblem. The resulting subproblems can be solved efficiently in parallel and are coupled by the multiplier update. We specifically considers box constraints, since thi...

An efficient multiplier design method for predetermined coefficient groups is presented based on the variation of canonic signed digit (CSD) encoding and partial product sharing. By applications to radix24 FFT structure and the pulse-shaping filter design used in CDMA, it is shown that the proposed method significantly reduces the area, propagation delay and power consumption compared with prev...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSES The multiplier method was introduced by Paley to calculate the timing for temporary hemiepiphysiodesis. However, this method has not been verified in terms of clinical outcome measure. We aimed to (1) predict the rate of angular correction per year (ACPY) at the various corresponding ages by means of multiplier method and verify the reliability based on the data from the...

-Using the He’s variational iteration method, it is possible to find the exact solutions or better approximate solutions of the partial differential equations. In this method, a correction functional is constructed by a general Lagrange multiplier, which can be identified via variational theory. In this paper, this method is used for solving a nonlinear partial differential equation, a three-di...
