... equations subject to convex constraints. The method employs an acceleration parameter to approximate the Jacobian matrix. The scheme is derived by combining the double step length method with a Picard–Krasnoselskii hybrid iterative process. Under mild conditions, the approach converges globally. Numerical...

... Program (NSIP). The primary objective of this study was, therefore, to estimate genetic parameters for 8 longevity indicator traits using data collected in NSIP Katahdin flocks. Ewes (n = 12,734) were born between 1989 and 2020 in 58 flocks across the U.S. and were daughters of 1,245 sires and 6,325 dams...

... meter (Zhejiang Top Cloud-Agri Technology Co., Ltd, TYS-4N, China). To determine the effects of different nitrogen concentrations on the life history parameters of cotton aphids, we confined 2 newly emerged apterous adult aphids on the third leaf of cotton seedlings treated for 7 d at 1 of 5 nitrogen...

... within an isogenic cell population. When modeling intracellular processes, it is therefore more appropriate to infer parameter distributions that reflect this variability, rather than fitting the population average to obtain a single point estimate. The Global Two-Stage (GTS) approach for nonlinear mixed...

..., and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract Under genomic selection, genetic parameters may change rapidly from generation to generation. Unless genetic parameters used for a selection index are current, the expected genetic gain may be unrealistic, possibly...

We parameterize bidder utility and distributions of values among entrants flexibly using Bernstein polynomial bases, and develop CSs for identified sets of parameters and of parameter subvectors. We propose novel and fast algorithms for implementation, building on Mathematical...

... is properly cited. Abstract When the underground medium exhibits anisotropy, the time slices of seismic data after normal moveout correction exhibit non-standard elliptical shapes. This complexity hinders the accurate representation by the traditional two-parameter 3D Radon transforms. To address...

... the dynamics of the components. The usual assumption of time-invariant correlations can be rather strong for many applications. In this study, we introduce a time-varying correlation parameter that allows the dynamic relations to change over time. We treat the parameter as a dynamic unobserved component...
