This paper develops a new empirical likelihood method for semiparametric linear regression with a completely unknown error distribution and right censored survival data. The method is based on the Buckley-James (1979) estimating equation. It inherits some appealing properties of the complete data empirical likelihood method. For example, it does not require variance estimation which is problema...

We prove that possibilistic linear programming problems (introduced by Buckley in [2]) are well-posed, i.e. small changes of the membership function of the parameters may cause only a small deviation in the possibilistic distribution of the objective function.

In this paper, we extend the second and third order classical central schemes for the hyperbolic conservation laws to solve the modified Buckley-Leverett (MBL) equation which is of pseudo-parabolic type. The MBL equation describes two-phase flow in porous media, and it differs from the classical Buckley-Leverett (BL) equation by including a balanced diffusive-dispersive combination. The classic...

Photorealistic 3D models, representing an object’s surface geometry textured with conventional photography, are used for visualization, interpretation and spatial measurement in many disparate fields, such as cultural heritage, archaeology and throughout the earth sciences, including geology. Virtual models of geological outcrops allow for large quantities of geometric data, such as sizes of fe...
