Non-parametric statistics

Tabu Search (TS) is a single solution meta-heuristic based on the utilization of its search history. It was introduced by Glover in 1986, and is a first method being referred to as \textit{meta-heuristic} \cite{glover1986}. However, 10 years earlier many of basic TS elements were already suggested by Glover as a part of specific oriented heuristic for solving nonlinear covering problem \cite{glover1977,osman1996}. The TS meta-heuristics is mostly applied to combinatorial optimization problems.…

Could You…? Math Inquiry Pietro Could you run 0.8 kilometres in one minute? The fastest 100m sprint speed record is held by Usain Bolt , reaching the speed of 43.94 kph. 0.8 km is 800 meters. For you to run 800 meters in 1 minute you would need to reach the speed of Usain bolt speed: 43.94 x 800m= 35152 m/s. Though human endurance comes into play as well, as a person cannot run their top speed for more than 8 seconds. Usain Bolt was able to keep 95% of his top speed for 8 seconds during his…

Overall, our experiment shows a correct result which our graph of turbidity versus coagulant dose have the correct pattern as the true result. However there might be error occur that make our result not accurate. The important of jar test. By performing jar tests, we can try alternative treatment doses and strategies without altering the performance of the full-scale treatment plant and easily compare the results of several different chemical treatments for time of formation, floc size,…

Theoretical Framework The Proportional Odds Model A binary logistic regression model estimates the odds and the probability of experiencing an event for the dichotomous outcome variable on a set of predictors. The logistic regression model is defined as: ln(Y′) = logit [π(x)] = ln = α + β1X1 + β2X2 + …+ βpXp. (1) where logit [π(x)] is the log odds of success, and the odds is a ratio between the probability of having an event and the probability of not having that event.…

This part discusses the specifications of model to investigate the correlation between FDI and human development. Based on the Sharma and Gani (2014) paper as a basic guideline as well as many previous theoretical and empirical studies, an empirical model is built to estimate any role of FDI in affecting human development. Therefore, this study specifies the general model as follows: HDIit = αit + β1FDIGDPit + β2Aidit + β3Tradeit + β4Govit + β5Ruleit + εit…

5. Hopf-Andronov-Poincare bifurcation In this section, we shall show that the system (2) undergoes a Hopf-Andronov-Poincare bifurcation by using as a bifurcation real parameter. Without loss of generality, suppose that is a function of and . Then system (2) becomes (29) with . System (29) can be written as (30) where , and is the bifurcation real parameter. The function is a on an open set in . Let be the set of equilibria of system…

CHAPTER IV RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Table 1: Relationship between Achievement Motivation and Aggression among Inter Collegiate Hockey Players Variable N M SD df r Achievement Motivation 100 26.28 5.72 98 -0.09 Vs. Aggression 11.15 2.58 rtab (98) = 0.19 It is apparent from the table 1 that obtained value of correlation coefficient (-0.09) is less than the tabulated value of correlation coefficient (0.19). It means there is no significant relationship found between…

Paper Bullets Experiment: Data Analysis The scientific question that was investigated by the paper bullets experiment asked, “Does the width of a paper bullet affect the distance it travels when it is launched?” The hypothesis that goes along with that question is, “If a paper bullet has a larger width, then it will travel a shorter distance than a standard paper bullet with a width of 4cm.” Variables in this experiment included independent variable (width of the starting piece of paper used to…

CHAPTER THREE METHODOLOGY HYPOTHESES/RESEARCH QUESTIONS 1. The hypothesis of the research paper is “The improvement of Civil-Military cooperation will enhance humanitarian assistance efforts”. 2. This research will answer the question about: a. What are the factors that can influence Civil-Military cooperation in disaster relief? b. Are existing civil–military frameworks (at policy, strategic and operational levels) sufficient? c. How can Civil-Military cooperation in disaster relief…
