capital market is one of the most important sectors of every economy. economic growth can lead to capital market boom and development, on the other hand, achieving desired economic growth and development is impossible without efficient financial institution and suitable funding resources. in this study the relationship between financial development and economic growth in opec countries and non-...

regarding the decentralization of credits management, this study examined the effect of fiscal policies on gross domestic product of the iranian provinces over the period 2001-2009. therefore, we used dynamic panel data and employed gmm-sys method to examine the model. the results show that the government expenditure and tax multiplier coefficients are less than one in short - run but greater t...

Among the applications of a radar system, target classification for ground surveillance is one of the most widely used. This paper deals with micro-Doppler Signature (μ-DS) based radar Automatic Target Recognition (ATR). The main goal for performing μ-DS classification using speech processing tools was to investigate whether automatic speech recognition (ASR) techniques are suitable methods for...

Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) with Fuzzy c-means attempts to classify signals into speech and music. Feature extraction is done before classification. The classification accuracy mainly relays on the strength of the feature extraction techniques. Simple audio features such as Time domain and Frequency domain are adopted. The time domain features are Zero Crossing Rate (ZCR) and Short Time Energy...

Speaker verification is a binary classification task to determine whether a claimed speaker uttered a phrase. Current approaches to speaker verification tasks typically involve adapting a general speaker Universal Background Model (UBM), normally a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), to model a particular speaker. Verification is then performed by comparing the likelihoods from the speaker model to t...

The problem of unsupervised audio classification continuous to be a challenging research problem which significantly impacts ASR and Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) performance. This paper addresses novel advances in audio classification for speech recognition. A new algorithm is proposed for audio classification, which is based on Weighted GMM Network (WGN). Two new high-level features: VSF (V...

this study is an attempt to develop a model of the simultaneous structure of the aggregate dynamic supply and demand to be used for estimation of parameters from data related to iran’s economy. the method for developing the model is an application of the dynamic and simultaneous process of aggregate supply and demand. obtained differential equations are used for solve the model. to estimate the...

This study focuses on the classification of pathological voice using GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model) and compares the results to the previous work which was done by ANN (Artificial Neural Network). Speech data from normal people and patients were collected, then diagnosed and classified into two different categories. Six characteristic parameters (Jitter, Shimmer, NHR, SPI, APQ and RAP) were chose...

This paper examines whether receipt of an RSA grant has a causal impact on plant TFP. To tackle the problem of self-selection into the treatment group, propensity score matching is employed. In order to control for the endogeneity of other variables in the model, estimations are performed using the system GMM estimator. The results show that for low technology manufacturing, receipt of an RSA g...

tourism industry has been the fastest and the most income-generating industry in the first decade of the third millennium. it has been for many countries including some of oic member countries a source of foreign exchange and contributed into their development. in this paper, we try to test empirically whether tourism expansion has had any significant effect on economic growth of oic member cou...
