In this paper, an effective and efficient model-based 2-clustering approach using Fisher kernel based similarities [2][3] is proposed. The Fisher kernel is derived from the knowledge of the family of the distribution generating the data. In the proposed approach, we refrain from trying to estimate the parameters of the unknown mixture distributions generating the data using the EM algorithm. In...

project planning is part of project management, which is relates to the use of schedules such as gantt charts to plan and subsequently report progress within the project environment. initially, the project scope is defined and the appropriate methods for completing the project are determined. in this paper a new approach for the critical path analyzing a project network with random fuzzy activi...

capital asset pricing, as one of the basic theories in finance and investment area, develop a model for estimation of expected rate of return and equity cost of capital. this model has many applications in the field of finance. one of anomalies in the capital asset pricing model is the value premium that its proponents believe this risk premium is compensation for a risk not mentioned in origin...

In this study, an unsteady aerodynamic simulation is performed to realize the influences of platform surge motion on the aerodynamic performance of a high capacity offshore floating wind turbine. A dynamic model with pitch angle control system is utilized to propose a more realistic model of wind turbine and also achieve the rated condition of the rotor. The transient effect of platform surge m...

In this paper a new approach, referred to as expected-mode augmentation (EMA), for multiple-model (MM) estimation is proposed. It is intended to enhance the performance of an MM algorithm in the cases of a continuous mode space. In this approach, the original fixed or variable model set is augmented by a model that intends to match the expected value of the true mode, which is readily computed ...
