Filter Estimator Based on the Probability Distribution by Romeo Urbieta Parrazalez, Rosaura Palma Orozco, Maria Teresa Zagaceta Alvarez, Jose Luis Fernandez Munoz, Karen Alicia Aguilar Cruz

“…In this paper, we propose a model of a parameter estimator filter for Black Box-type Stochastic Systems (BBSS), that is, only its inputs and outputs are known; considering its intrinsic properties observed in the second probability moment, in which the probability has the description of a specific distribution function relative to the random variables and the law of large numbers, allowing the stochastic system to be described with a Gaussian Distribution Function (GDF) and its linear transformation core in the Taylor series. Commonly, all estimates are assumed in the Second Moment of Probability (SMP) with equiprobable conditions, but in this case, a specific description of the Probability Distribution Function (PDF) is considered a priori, which is a contribution to the theory of digital filtering in estimation for signal reconstruction. …”

The Late Pleistocene Human species of Israel by Milford H. Wolpoff, Sang-Hee Lee

“…We report on the distribution of a testing statistic based on the standard error of the slope of regressions relating the measurements common to pairs of specimens. We show that this standard error test of the null hypothesis (STET) has the power to reject a null hypothesis for significant hominid taxonomic differences but does not reject the null hypothesis for the Israeli remains.…”
