Logrank-type and Kolmogorov-type goodness-of-fit tests for the absence of memory model are proposed when the accelerated experiments are done under step-stresses. The power of the test against the approaching alternatives is investigated. The theoretical results are illustrated with simulated data.
Henrici’s transformation is a generalization of Aitken’s -process to the vector case. It has been used for accelerating vector sequences. We use a modified version of Henrici’s transformation for solving some unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems. A convergence acceleration result is established and numerical examples are given.
In this paper, we consider linear ordinary differential equations originating in electronic engineering, which exhibit exceedingly rapid oscillation. Moreover, the oscillation model is completely different from the familiar framework of asymptotic analysis of highly oscillatory integrals. Using a Bessel-function identity, we expand the oscillator into asymptotic series, and this allows us to extend Filon-type approach to this setting. The outcome is a time-stepping method that guarantees ...
The impact of additive outliers on a performance of the Kalman filter is discussed and less outlier-sensitive modification of the Kalman filter is proposed. The improved filter is then used to obtain an improved smoothing algorithm and an improved state-space model parameters estimation.
It is shown that a popular variable choice method of Hellwig, which is recommended in the Polish econometric textbooks does not enjoy a very basic consistency property. It means in particular that the method may lead to rejection of significant variables in econometric modeling. A simulation study and a real data analysis case are given to support theoretical results.
We propose an analogue of the maximum angle condition (commonly used in finite element analysis for triangular and tetrahedral meshes) for the case of prismatic elements. Under this condition, prisms in the meshes may degenerate in certain ways, violating the so-called inscribed ball condition presented by P. G. Ciarlet (1978), but the interpolation error remains of the order in the -norm for sufficiently smooth functions.
The paper is concerned with certain -degree iterative methods for the solution of linear algebraic systems. The successive approximation is determined by means of approximations , , , . In this article to each iterative method of the first degree some -degree iterative method is found in order to accelerate the convergence of the intial method.
The present paper deals with the numerical solution of the nonlinear heat equation. An iterative method is suggested in which the iterations are obtained by solving linear heat equation. The convergence of the method is proved under very natural conditions on given input data of the original problem. Further, questions of convergence of the Galerkin method applied to the original equation as well as to the linear equations in the above mentioned iterative method are studied.
