1. introduction long-term climatic data are a prerequisite for hydro-meteorological studies and understanding of past climate. iran is mostly located in semi-arid to arid climate zones, so information on the natural long-term variability of the hydroclimate is of great relevance for land use planning, agriculture, and water supply of a growing population. however, the maximum length of recorded...

introduction: estimation of cation exchange capacity (cec) with reliable soil properties can save time and cost. pedotransfer function (ptf) is a common method in estimating certain soil properties (e.g. cec) that has been wieldy used for many years. one of the common techniques that have been used to develop ptfs is multiple linear regressions. in this method, all easily obtained soil properti...

We study the limiting distribution of the degree of a given node in a scaled attachment random recursive tree, a generalized random recursive tree, which is introduced by Devroye et. al (2011). In a scaled attachment random recursive tree, every node $i$ is attached to the node labeled $lfloor iX_i floor$ where $X_0$, $ldots$ , $X_n$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, with support in [0,...

The prediction of liquefaction potential of soil due to an earthquake is an essential task in Civil Engineering. The decision tree is a tree structure consisting of internal and terminal nodes which process the data to ultimately yield a classification. C4.5 is a known algorithm widely used to design decision trees. In this algorithm, a pruning process is carried out to solve the problem of the...
