Convergence of statistical moments of particle density time series in scrape-off layer plasmas [PDF]
Particle density fluctuations in the scrape-off layer of magnetically confined plasmas, as measured by gas-puff imaging or Langmuir probes, are modeled as the realization of a stochastic process in which a superposition of pulses with a fixed shape, an ...

Minimum Mean Squared Error Model Averaging in Likelihood Models
A data-driven method for frequentist model averaging weight choice is developed for general likelihood models. We propose to estimate the weights which minimize an estimator of the mean squared error of a weighted estimator in a local misspecification ...

Data‐driven performance metrics for neural network learning
Summary Effectiveness of data‐driven neural learning in terms of both local mimima trapping and convergence rate is addressed. Such issues are investigated in a case study involving the training of one‐hidden‐layer feedforward neural networks with the extended Kalman filter, which reduces the search for the optimal network parameters to a state ...

Mean Squared Error Representative Points of Pareto Distributions and Their Estimation
Pareto distributions are widely applied in various fields, such as economics, finance, and environmental studies. The modeling of real-world data has created a demand for the discretization of Pareto distributions.

Comparisons of the Performances of Estimators of a Bounded Normal Mean Under Squared-Error Loss
This paper is concerned with the estimation under squared-error loss of a normal mean θ based on X ∼ N (θ, 1) when |θ| ≤ m for a known m > 0. Nine estimators are compared, namely the maximum likelihood estimator (mle), three dominators of the mle ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Higher Order Mean Squared Error of Generalized Method of Moments Estimators for Nonlinear Models
Generalized method of moments (GMM) has been widely applied for estimation of nonlinear models in economics and finance. Although generalized method of moments has good asymptotic properties under fairly moderate regularity conditions, its finite sample ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Investigation of the efficiency of support vector machine in predicting changes in water quality parameters (Case study: Choghakhor International Wetland) [PDF]
Inland waters, such as wetlands, are considered to be sensitive ecosystems, and sustainable productivity can only be achieved by adopting an appropriate environmental approach.
