In this paper we discuss the behavlor of the statisticR^(t), the uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU) estimate for the reliability of gamma distribution with unknown scale parameterσwhen an outlier observation is present. Given the outlier effect onσ, we determine bounds for the mean and mean square error (MSE) of R(t). A semi-Bayesian approach is discussed when the outlier effect onσis treated as a random variable having a prior distribution of beta type. Results of the exponential distribution (Sinha [1]) are given as particular cases of our results.

A spectral density statistic obtained by averaging periodograms over overlapping time intervals is considered where the periodograms are calculated using a data window. The asymptotic mean square error of this estimate for scale parameter windows is determined and, as an example, it is shown that the use of the Tukey–Hanning window leads partially to a smaller mean square error than a window suggested by Kolmogorov and Zhurbenko. Furthermore the Tukey–Hanning window is independent of the unknown spectral density, which is not the case for the Kolmogorov–Zhurbenko window. The mean square error of this estimate is also less than the mean square error of commonly used window estimates. Finally, a central limit theorem for the estimate is established.

The random variable Zn,α=Y1+2αY2+⋯+nαYn, with α∈ℝ and Y1,Y2,…  being independent exponentially distributed random variables with mean one, is considered. Van Leeuwaarden and Temme (2011) attempted to determine good approximation of the distribution of Zn,α. The main problem is estimating the parameter α that has the main state in applicable research. In this paper we show that estimating the parameter α by using the relation between α and mode is available. The mean square error values are obtained for estimating α by mode, moment method, and maximum likelihood method.

In spite of important delays in the initial planning, the full automation of the Bordeaux meridian circle is progressing well and will be ready for regular observations by the middle of the next year. It is expected that the mean square error for one observation will be about ±0.”10 in the two coordinates for declinations up to 87°.

The question of calculating the limiting values of residuals in geodesic constructions is considered in the case when the limiting value for measurement errors is assumed equal to 3m, ie ∆рred = 3m, where m is the mean square error of the measurement. Larger errors are rejected. At present, the limiting value for the residual is calculated by the formula 3m√n, where n is the number of measurements. The article draws attention to two contradictions between theory and practice arising from the use of this formula. First, the formula is derived from the classical law of the normal Gaussian distribution, and it is applied to the truncated law of the normal distribution. And, secondly, as shown in [1], when ∆рred = 2m, the sums of errors naturally take the value equal to ?pred, after which the number of errors in the sum starts anew. This article establishes its validity for ∆рred = 3m. A table of comparative values of the tolerances valid and recommended for more stringent ones is given. The article gives a graph of applied and recommended tolerances for ∆рred = 3m.

The application of ubiquitous computing has increased in recent years, especially due to the development of technologies such as mobile computing, more accurate sensors, and specific protocols for the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the trends in this area of research is the use of context awareness. In agriculture, the context involves the environment, for example, the conditions found inside a greenhouse. Recently, a series of studies have proposed the use of sensors to monitor production and/or the use of cameras to obtain information about cultivation, providing data, reminders, and alerts to farmers. This article proposes a computational model for indoor agriculture called IndoorPlant. The model uses the analysis of context histories to provide intelligent generic services, such as predicting productivity, indicating problems that cultivation may suffer, and giving suggestions for improvements in greenhouse parameters. IndoorPlant was tested in three scenarios of the daily life of farmers with hydroponic production data that were obtained during seven months of cultivation of radicchio, lettuce, and arugula. Finally, the article presents the results obtained through intelligent services that use context histories. The scenarios used services to recommend improvements in cultivation, profiles and, finally, prediction of the cultivation time of radicchio, lettuce, and arugula using the partial least squares (PLS) regression technique. The prediction results were relevant since the following values were obtained: 0.96 (R2, coefficient of determination), 1.06 (RMSEC, square root of the mean square error of calibration), and 1.94 (RMSECV, square root of the mean square error of cross validation) for radicchio; 0.95 (R2), 1.37 (RMSEC), and 3.31 (RMSECV) for lettuce; 0.93 (R2), 1.10 (RMSEC), and 1.89 (RMSECV) for arugula. Eight farmers with different functions on the farm filled out a survey based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). The results showed 92% acceptance regarding utility and 98% acceptance for ease of use.
