In this article we describe a new Hermite series based sequential estimator for the Spearman rank correlation coefficient and provide algorithms applicable in both stationary non-stationary settings. To treat setting, introduce novel, exponentially weighted correlation, which allows local nonparametric of bivariate data stream to be tracked. best our knowledge is first algorithm proposed estima...

in analyzing a signal, especially a non-stationary signal, it is often necessarythe desired signal to be segmented into small epochs. segmentation can beperformed by splitting the signal at time instances where signal amplitude orfrequency change. in this paper, the signal is initially decomposed into signals withdifferent frequency bands using wavelet transform. then, fractal dimension of thed...

introduction: several techniques are used to evaluate decision making units in dmus with a restricted multiplier. dea is recognized as a methodology widely used to evaluate the relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (dmus) involved in a production process. this approach assumes that the input and output data of the different decision making units (dmus) are measured with precisio...

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, affect thousands of people and can cause enormous financial loss. Therefore, an efficient response immediately following a natural disaster is vital to minimize the aforementioned negative effects. This research paper presents a network design model for humanitarian logistics which will assist in location and allocation decisions for multiple disaster per...

In this paper, we propose a new method for checking randomness of non-Gaussian stable data based on a characterization result. This method is more sensitive with respect to non-random data compared to the well-known non-parametric randomness tests.

In this paper a general methodology is proposed based on robust optimization for an inventory control problem subject to uncertain demands and uncertain lead times. Several lead time uncertainty sets are proposed based on the budget uncertainty set, and a set based on the central limit theorem (CLT). Robust optimization models are developed for a periodic review, finite horizon inventory contro...

A recent sequence of works, initially motivated by the study of the nonlocal properties of entanglement, demonstrate that a source of information-theoretically certified randomness can be constructed based only on two simple assumptions: the prior existence of a short random seed and the ability to ensure that two black-box devices do not communicate (i.e. are nonsignaling). We call protocols a...

This paper deals with a recent statistical model based on fuzzy Markov random chains for image segmentation, in the context of stationary and non-stationary data. On one hand, fuzzy scheme takes into account discrete and continuous classes through the modeling of hidden data imprecision and on the other hand, Markovian Bayesian scheme models the uncertainty on the observed data. A non-stationar...

Identification is the most important stage of all stages modeling process. This research identifies a suitable order for two different time series models ARIMA and GARCH. For GARCH distributions that GARCH-STD GARCH-GED with sample sizes in fitting forecasting stationary non-stationary data structures was considered. The study recommends use smallest information criterion like AIC BIC to select...
