Non-parametric procedures multiple regression techniques were used the significant categorical quantitative predictors, respectively. showed that all variables (location, design method, aggregate type, binder grade) have statistically effect macrotexture values. model selection using stepwise also air...

Bayes estimation for the parameters of lifetime distribution when both survival and censoring time are exponentially distributed were studied.The marginal posteriors, estimates credible sets derived using conjugate priors.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by contrast exposure is a common problem, which may cause significant increase in patients in-hospital stay and therefore the cost of treatment. This study was conducted to evaluate role inflammation, inflammatory markers predicting induced nephropathy (CIN). prospective that carried out major tertiary referral hospital Jordan. Methods: Clinical data, blood urine samples were collected from all admitted cardiology unit. All who agreed participate...

The Rayleigh distribution was proposed in the fields of acoustics and optics by lord Rayleigh. It has wide applications communication theory, such as description instantaneous peak power received radio signals, i.e. study vibrations waves. also been used for modeling wave propagation, radiation, synthetic aperture radar images, lifetime data engineering clinical studies. This work proposes two new extensions distribution, namely inverted-Weibull (RIW) Weibull (RW) distributions. Several...

Abstract The field of digital and data communications is becoming increasingly dominant because transmission offers processing options flexibilities not available with analog transmission. main feature a communication system that during finite interval time, it sends waveform from set possible waveform. One the most important fundamental models channels binary symmetric channel (BSC). An measure performance in probability error. In this paper, error, reliability, entropy capacity BSC model...

Recently, neural network models have been popular and found useful for forecasting a wide variety of time series data in many disciplines. This is due to their favorable modeling properties simplicity, fault noise tolerance capability adapt process changes. Nevertheless, applications climatology less widespread than other disciplines such as economics. In this study, feed-forward neural-network (FFNN) autoregression (AR) are used the annual air temperature Jordan. The performance two...
