We characterize the performance of the widely used least-squares estimator in astrometry in terms of a comparison with the Cramer-Rao lower variance bound. In this inference context the performance of the least-squares ...

This work presents a new application for calculating the influence surfaces of transverse displacements, directional derivatives and bending moments for generic bridge decks. A plate bending boundary element method formulation ...

In this work a new method is proposed of separated estimation for the ARMA spectral model based on the modified Yule-Walker equations and on the least squares method. The proposal of the new method consists of performing ...
