Abstract:
Ordinary least squares estimator (OLS) becomes unstable if there is a linear dependence between any two predictors. When such situation arises ridge estimator will yield more stable estimates to the regression coefficients than OLS estimator. Here we suggest two modified ridge estimators based on weights, where weights being the first two largest eigen values. We compare their MSE with some of the existing ridge estimators which are defined in the literature. Performance of the suggested estimators is evaluated empirically for a wide range of degree of multicollinearity. Simulation study indic

Abstract. Both the root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) are regularly employed in model evaluation studies. Willmott and Matsuura (2005) have suggested that the RMSE is not a good indicator of average model performance and might be a misleading indicator of average error and thus the MAE would be a better metric for that purpose. Their paper has been widely cited and may have influenced many researchers in choosing MAE when presenting their model evaluation statistics. However, we contend that the proposed avoidance of RMSE and the use of MAE is not the solution to t

Finding a portfolio strategy that entails optimal performance and risk diversification may be a complicated task for investors. In this thesis, we explore and evaluate the performances of several non-trivial portfolio optimization strategies, based on various measures of risk, to identify the optimal choice. Furthermore, as in contemporary papers, we will also assess whether or not trivial strategies are outperformed by those that rely on rigorous theoretical frameworks. These portfolio strategies were backtested on historic U.S. stock marketdata ranging from 2000 to 2015, to evaluate how they

Abstract:
Adaptive filters constitute an important part of signal processing. They are widely used in many applications where signal statistics are unknown to the users. One of the most popular adaptive methods is known as the least mean-squared (LMS) algorithm. It is well known for its hardware simplicity and its cost effectiveness. However, the LMS adaptive algorithm does not operate well in non-ideal environments. Leakage in the updated equation of the LMS algorithm was proven to overcome many such problems. This algorithm is known as the leaky LMS (LLMS). The LLMS is very robust to drifting phenomen

Abstract:
This paper investigates the effect of parameter selection for the decision feedback equalization (DFE) on communication performance through a dispersive underwater acoustic wireless channel (UAWC). A DFE based on minimum mean-square error (MMSE-DFE) criterion has been employed in the implementation for evaluation purposes. The output from the MMSE-DFE is input to the decoder to estimate the transmitted bit sequence. The main goal of this experimental simulation is to determine the best selection, such that the reduction in the computational overload is achieved without altering the performance
