A robust experimental-based artificial neural network approach for photovoltaic maximum power point identification considering electrical, thermal and meteorological impact by Gowid, Samer

“…Nonetheless, the consideration of irradiance, electrical, thermal, and weather parameters (scenario IV) yielded higher identification accuracy. The results showed a decrease in the MSE of Vmp by 74.3% (from 1.6 V to 0.411 V), and in the MSE of Imp by 95% (from 4.4e−6 A to 2.16e−7 A), respectively. …”

Adaptive thermal comfort in the different buildings of Darjeeling Hills in eastern India – Effect of difference in elevation by Thapa, Samar

“…Thermal comfort standards are required to provide comfortable indoor condition which has a positive effect on the occupant. However, the Predicted Mean Vote – Percentage People Dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model which is used to determine the indoor comfort in most of the international standards fails often, especially in naturally ventilated buildings. …”

Maximum Likelihood Estimation in the Inverse Weibull Distribution with Type II Censored Data by Alshaikh, Fatima A.

“…We found that the parameter estimators are almost unbiased, while the MRL and TVaR estimators are asymptotically unbiased. Moreover, the mean squared error of all estimators decreased for larger sample sizes and it increased when the censoring proportion is increased for a fixed sample size. …”
