Due to their genesis, volcanic rocks present some singularities that make their geotechnical characteristics significantly different from other more common types of massifs, such as sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. The formation mechanisms of volcanic ...

Meta-analysis is an indispensable tool for synthesizing statistical results obtained from individual studies. Recently, non-Bayesian estimators for individual means were proposed by applying three methods: the James?Stein (JS) shrinkage estimator, isoton...

Probabilistic solar power forecasting has been critical in Southern Africa because of major shortages of power due to climatic changes and other factors over the past decade. This paper discusses Gaussian process regression (GPR) coupled with core vector...

In knowledge-based systems, besides obtaining good output prediction accuracy, it is crucial to understand the subset of input variables that have most influence on the output, with the goal of gaining deeper insight into the underlying process. These re...

The possibilities of using an energy method to forecast defect formation in the form of shrinkage depression in the combined extrusion processes have been investigated. We have proposed a mathematical model of the combined radial-reverse extrusion proces...

In the field of portfolio management, practitioners are focusing increasingly on risk-based portfolios rather than on mean-variance portfolios. Risk-based portfolios are constructed based solely on covariance matrices, and include methods such as minimum...
