It is known that densely populated coastal areas may be adversely affected as a result of the climate change effects. In this respect, for protection, utilization, and management it critical to understand changes in wind speed (WS) significant wave height (SWH) areas. Innovative approaches, which are one trend analysis methods used an effective way examine these changes, have started very frequ...

background: iran, a low- to middle-income country, has experienced considerable socioeconomic changes in 20 th century, which their impacts on the adult heights has not been assessed deeply by now. this article aims to quantify the temporal varia­tions of height (with respect to shrinkage of height due to aging) and its deterministic factors in iranian population born be­tween 1940 and 1984. me...

background the alarming incidence of self- burning provoked to set up a multidisciplinary preventive program to decrease the incidence and complications of this harmful issue. this study investigated the incidence and the preventive measures in self-burn in fars province, southern iran. methods this study was a longitudinal prospective design on trend of self-inflicted burn injuries in fars pro...

 The existence and non-existence of trend-resistant repeated measurement designs are investigated. Two families of efficient/optimal repeated measurement designs which are very popular among experimenters are shown to be trend-resistant or trend-resistant with respect to treatments.

The damped trend method of exponential smoothing is a benchmark that has been difficult to beat in empirical studies of forecast accuracy. One explanation for this success is the flexibility of the method, which contains a variety of special cases that are automatically selected during the fitting process. That is, when the method is fitted, the optimal parameters usually define a special case ...

Consider a one-way layout with one directional observation per factor level. Each observed direction is a unit vector in R measured with random error. Information accompanying the measurements suggests that the mean directions, normalized to unit length, follow a trend: the factor levels are ordinal and mean directions at nearby factor levels may be close. Measured positions of the paleomagneti...

The question of recovering a multiband signal from noisy observations motivates a model in which the multivariate data points consist of an unknown deterministic trend Ξ observed with multivariate Gaussian errors. A cognate random trend model suggests affine shrinkage estimators Ξ̂A and Ξ̂B for Ξ, which are related to an extended Efron-Morris estimator. When represented canonically, Ξ̂A performs c...
