The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System is a diagnosis and predictive method for analyzing patterns in multivariate cases. The goal of this study is to compare the ability of the Mahalanobis- Taguchi System and a neural-network to discriminate using small data sets. We examine the discriminant ability as a function of data set size using an application area where reliable data is publicly available. The...

The paper investigates the relationship between financial distress of European private companies identified by Altman Z-score and real bankruptcy. We extend traditional with asymmetric effect economic activity. Our results show higher forecasting performance large in a three-year projection. argue that our differ from (1968) because specific market conditions Europe enable prolongation activity...

in this paper, photovoltaic (pv) grid-connected inverter which is the core device in pv grid-connected system has been in depth research.an improved predictive current controller has been developed by the authors for single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverters (vsi).based on dsp tms320lf2407a, a 10 kw single-phase grid-connected inverter has been built in this paper.thus is aimed at us...

Any proper operation could be translated as a constrained optimization problem inside a WWTP, whose nonlinear behavior renders its control problems quite attractive for performance of multivariable optimization–based control technique algorithms, such as NMPC. The main advantage of this control technique lies in its ability to handle model nonlinearity as well as various types of constraints on...

The General Ability Index (GAI) is a composite ability score for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fourth Edition (WISC–IV) that minimizes the impact of tasks involving working memory and processing speed. The goal of the current study was to compare the degree to which the Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) and the GAI predict academic achievement in math and reading among a group of 88 children ...

A simulation study was conducted to address the issue of how purely additive (simple) genetic architecture might impact on the efficacy of parametric and non-parametric genomic prediction methods. For this purpose, we simulated a trait with narrow sense heritability h2= 0.3, with only additive genetic effects for 300 loci in order to compare the predictive ability of 14 more practically used ge...

Credit risk management is becoming more and more important in recent years. When a company deals with a financial problem, it may not be able to fulfill its financial obligations, which can cause direct and indirect financial losses to shareholders, creditors, investors and other people in the community. Advanced credit risk models that are based on market value include improving credit quality...

This paper examines the asymptotic and finite-sample properties of tests of equal forecast accuracy applied to direct, multi–step predictions from both non-nested and nested linear regression models. In contrast to earlier work in the literature, our asymptotics take account of the real-time, revised nature of the data. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that our asymptotic approximations yield r...
