Analysis of wind speed distributions: Wind distribution function derived from minimum cross entropy principles as better alternative to Weibull function
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2008)
In this study, the minimum cross entropy (MinxEnt) principle is applied for the first time to the wind energy field. This principle allows the inclusion of previous information of a wind speed distribution and covers the ...
On the Identifiability of Finite Mixtures Based on the Union of Logarithmic Series and Discrete Rectangular Families
(Springer, 2009)
In this paper, finite mixtures of the union of Logarithmic Series and Discrete Rectangular families are proved to be identifiable. The sufficient condition for the identifiability of finite mixtures given by Atienza et al. ...
On a functional defined by means of Kullback-Leibler measure and its statistical applications
(2006)
In the present study, we define a functional by means of Kullback-Leibler (K-L) measure for continuous random variables and consider its properties. By virtue of this functional, we suggest a new generalization of K-L ...
Generalized entropy optimization problems and the existence of their solutions
(Elsevier Science BV, 2007)
In the present study we have formulated a generalization of entropy optimization problems (GEOP), proposed sufficient conditions for the existence of solution. We have suggested also a new method based on a priori evaluations ...
Comparison of ARIMA, neural networks and hybrid models in time series: tourist arrival forecasting
(Taylor & Francis LTD, 2007)
For time series forecasting, different artificial neural network (ANN) and hybrid models are recommended as alternatives to commonly used autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. Recently, combined models ...
Signs of change in Turkey's working class: workers' age-related perceptions in the modern manufacturing sector
(Routledge Taylor & Francis LTD, 2003)
This paper explores the possible effects of the increasing exposure to modernity on younger workers in some sectors of developing countries with special reference to those employed in advanced manufacturing in Turkey. In ...
Accelerating backpropagation using effective parameters at each step and an experimental evaluation
(Taylor & Francis LTD, 2008)
An acceleration of backpropagation algorithm with momentum (BPM) is introduced. At every stage of the learning process, local quadratic approximation of the error function is performed and the Hessian matrix of the quadratic ...
The individuals control chart in case of non-normality
(2006)
This article examines the effects of non-normality as measured by skewness and provides an alternative method of designing individuals control chart with non-normal distributions. A skewness correction method for constructing ...
Examining cronbach alpha, theta, omega reliability coefficients according to the sample size
(Wayne State University, 2007)
Differentiations according to the sample size of different reliability coefficients are examined. It is concluded that the estimates obtained by Cronbach alpha and teta coefficients are not related with the sample size, ...
The distribution of minimizing maximum entropy: Alternative to Weibull distribution for wind speed
(2006)
In the present study, we have constructed MinMaxEnt distribution alternative to the Weibull distribution for the wind speed. MinMaxEnt distribution minimizes the special maximum entropy functional in the concrete set of ...
