Error Analysis of the Convex Hull Method for the Solution of the Distribution System Security Region by Jun Xiao, Lixing Wang, Yupeng Zhou

“…Thirdly, theoretical analyses are separately conducted for concave and convex regions, which result in two theorems and one corollary, leading to the following conclusions: (1) The convex hull method is not suitable for solving concave regions, while concave regions are widely present in real-world distribution networks. (2) Error may also be produced by the convex hull method when solving convex regions. …”

Using the Bayesian Model Averaging Approach for Genomic Selection by Considering Skewed Error Distributions by Azadeh Ghazanfari, Afshin Fayyaz Movaghar

“…Results: Numerical studies on simulated and real data showed that, although Occam’s window ran faster than the MC3 method, the latter method suggested better linear models for the data with both skew-normal and skew-t error distributions. Conclusion: The MC3 method performs better than Occam’s window in identifying the linear models with greater accuracy when dealing with skewed error distributions.…”

ANALYSIS OF ERROR DISTRIBUTION DENSITY IN DETERMINING THE COORDINATES OF EARTHING EARTH IN THE METHODS OF SPHERES AND ELLIPSOIDS by T. G. Aslanov, U. A. Musaeva

“…Objectives The purpose of the study is to obtain an expression for determining the coordinates of the earthquake focus using the ellipsoid method, as well as testing the possibility of using the method using the figures of the second order of the ellipsoid during the initial determination of the coordinates of the earthquake hypocenter.Method A comparative analysis of the probability density of errors in the hypocentral zone of the earth's surface, in combination with various spheres, ellipsoid and hyperboloid and ellipsoids, is carried out.Result Obtained an expression for determining the coordinates of the earthquake focus by the method of ellipsoids, as well as the density of the distribution of error probabilities in the determination of the earthquake hypocenter the in calculations by the method of spheres, by the combined method of spheres, hyperboloid and ellipsoid, and also by the method of ellipsoids.Conclusion Methods used to determine the coordinates of the hypocenter ellipsoid, have large errors in comparison with the method of areas. …”
