We consider a robust parametric procedure for estimating the structural parameters in functional measurement error models. The methodology extends the maximum Lq-likelihood approach to the more general problem of independent, ...

In this paper, functional models with not replications are investigated within the class of the elliptical distributions. Emphasis is placed on the special case of the Student-t distribution. Main results encompasses ...

This paper applies some general concepts in decision theory to a linear panel data model. A simple version of the model is an autoregression with a separate intercept for each unit in the cross section, with errors that ...

An arc flash represents a risk factor for the worker exposed to this phenomenon, and the in cident energy is the central element for risk analysis. Its magnitude determines the class of personal protective equipment (PPE) ...

This work presents a methodology to classify overhead medium voltage electric power distribution networks into categories for the selection of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in live line activities. A category of ...

The incidental mortality of dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) in the Patagonian trawling fishery is a well‐known problem, especially in mid‐water trawl fisheries for shrimp and anchovy. Therefore, it is necessary ...

Due to widespread use of pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound in routine gynecological evaluation, the incidental finding of adnexal masses has led to discussions about management in asymptomatic patients regarding the risk ...

Electric arcs are phenomena that occur when the ionization of the air is sufficient to allow the flow of electric current, which can occur due to the separation of energized contacts, such as during the opening of switching ...

Differential characteristics of absolute power in the EEG theta (4??8 Hz) and gamma (30 ?? 45 Hz) frequency bands have been analyzed in young (18 ?? 25 years old, n = 14) and mature adults (45 ?? 65 years old, n = 12) ...
