Best mean square prediction for moving average time series models is generally non-linear prediction, even in the invertible case. Gaussian processes are an exception, since best linear prediction is always best mean square prediction. Stable numerical recursions are proposed for computation of residuals and evaluation of unnormalized conditional distributions in invertible or non-invertible mo...

We design an edge adaptive predictor for lossless image coding. The predictor adaptively weights four directional predictor together with an adaptive linear predictor based on information from neighbouring pixels. Although conceptually simple, the performance of the resulting coder is comparable to state of the art image coders when a simple context based coder is used to encode the prediction ...

Abstract: We analyze the (unconditional) distribution of a linear predictor that is constructed after a data-driven model selection step in a linear regression model. First, we derive the exact finite-sample cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the linear predictor, and a simple approximation to this (complicated) cdf. We then analyze the large-sample limit behavior of these cdfs, in the f...

background: evidence indicates that sexual assertiveness is one of the important factors affecting sexual satisfaction. according to some studies, traditional gender norms conflict with women’s capability in expressing sexual desires. this study examined the relationship between gender roles and sexual assertiveness in married women in mashhad, iran. methods: this cross-sectional study was cond...

Abstract We study a predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for solving general linear complementarity problems from the implementation point of view. analyze method proposed by Illés, Nagy and Terlaky [1] that extends published Potra Liu [2] to problems. A new determining step size corrector direction is presented. Using code implemented in C++ programming language, we can solve large-sca...

Abstract We propose a new predictor–corrector interior-point algorithm for solving Cartesian symmetric cone horizontal linear complementarity problems, which is not based on usual barrier function. generalize the introduced in Darvay et al. (SIAM J Optim 30:2628–2658, 2020) to problems product of cones. apply algebraically equivalent transformation technique proposed by (Adv Model 5:51–92, 2003...

we examined the demographic characteristics of couples, ovarian response and sperm quality to determine the predictors of clinical fertilization in ivf cycles. a descriptive and analytic study was conducted using data and biologic specimens obtained fatemeh-alzahra of babol infertility center from 2004 to 2005. only data from 315 women who had medical indication for conventional ivf treatment w...
