Modified Generalized Half-Normal Distribution With Application To Lifetimes, Neveka M. Olmos, Osvaldo Venegas

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In this article we introduce a new distribution which is constructed by taking, as a base, the absolute value of a random variable with alpha skew-normal (ASN) distribution. The density of this distribution and some of its properties such as moments and its skewness and kurtosis coefficients are discussed. We calculate the moment and the maximum likelihood estimators, and carry out a Monte Carlo study. Finally, an example with real data to illustrate the usefulness and applicability of the proposed distribution is presented. It is shown that the obtained result is a distribution with considerable flexibility.

Transient Analysis Of A Non-Preemptive Priority Queueing System, V. S. S. Yadavalli, Diatha Krishna Sundar, Swaminathan Udayabaskaran, C. T. Dora Pravina

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

A single server queueing system is considered in which two types of customers arrive according to independent Poisson processes. Customers of type 1 are of priority nature and the other customers of type 2 are of non-priority. Type 1 customers have nonpreemptive priority over type 2 customers. Assuming that service times for both types of customers have exponential distribution with mean 1/m, we obtain explicit expressions for the transient solution for the state probability distribution. We deduce the steady-state joint distribution of the number of customers of type 1 and customers of type 2 and also obtain performance measures of …

A Collaborative Composite Event Detection Approach In Wireless Sensor Network Using Fuzzy Assisted Decision System, S. Nalini, A. Valarmathi May 2018

A Collaborative Composite Event Detection Approach In Wireless Sensor Network Using Fuzzy Assisted Decision System, S. Nalini, A. Valarmathi

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

Recently, inWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), several energy efficient event detection algorithms have been proposed that aim to minimize battery storage, energy consumption and to maximize the network lifetime by framing reduced fuzzy rules related to spatio-temporal properties for determining the event. Since sensors are prone to intermittent fault it would result to fault susceptible reading that generates false alarm event, which would lead to lack of conforming the event at a higher confidence rate. Hence, during decision making, the confidence level parameter of the sensor node is integrated by considering the spatio-temporal properties. In this paper, we demonstrate through collaborative …

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

A Generalized Space Time Autoregressive or GSTAR is a special model of Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model which is a combination of time series and spatial models which has the assumption of autoregressive parameter and space time parameter having different value for each location of observation. In addition, it assumes stationary time series data at the mean and variance levels and applies to locations with heterogeneous characteristics. One disadvantage of the GSTAR model is that it can not be used to predict at unobserved locations. In this paper we combine the GSTAR model with the Ordinary Kriging (OK) technique, named GSTAR-Kriging …

A Hermite Method For Maxwell’S Equations, Vitoriano Ruas, Marco Antonio Silva Ramos

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

A mathematical formulation suitable for the application of a novel Hermite finite element method, to solve electromagnetic field problems in two- and three-dimensional domains is studied. This approach offers the possibility to generate accurate approximations of Maxwell’s equations in smooth domains, with a rather rough interpolation and without curved elements. Method’s degrees of freedom are the normal derivative mean values of the electric field across the edges or the faces of a mesh consisting of N-simplices, in addition to the mean value in the mesh elements of the field itself. Second-order convergence of the electric field in the mean-square sense …

Power-Models For Proportions With Zero/One Excess, Guillermo Mart´Inez-Fl´Orez, Heleno Bolfarine, H´Ector W. G´Omez

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In this paper we consider power distributions for modeling proportions or rates with zero and/or one inflation as an alternative to beta regression. The model considered is a mixture between a Bernoulli type process for explaining the zero and/or one excess and a truncated power-normal model for explaining the continuous response. The maximum likelihood approach is considered for parameter estimation. Observed and expected information matrices are derived, illustrating interesting aspects of the likelihood approach. Given the flexibility of the power-normal distribution, we are able to show, in a practical scenario, the better performance of our proposal over the beta regression …

A Framework For Labeling Images Through Object Detection And Segmentation Using Preprocessing And Renet Architecture, N. Shanmugapriya, D. Chitra

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In a Segmentation-based approach, an image is segmented and its various regions are classified, unlike classifying the individual pixels. This papers uses the ReNet architecture to extract the features of an object in an image. This ReNet architecture replaces each convolutional layer(CNN) with four RNNs that also brings together lower-layer features from different directions. After the extraction of feature the image is over segmented into superpixels first and then it is classified into individual superpixels. The dependencies to the nearby superpixel labels shall be explored and exploited by Conditional Random Field statistical approach. Though the time to segment and label …
