There are several methods for goodness of fit test for the skew normal distribution. This work focused on method of Meintanis [8] which is based on the empirical moment generating function. This test is discussed for the known and the unknown shape parameter. Meintanis [8] claimed that power of his test is higher than the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. But this claim is true only for the known shape parameter. In this paper, we provide a new method for finding his test statistic that has more efficiency. Also Meintanis [8] not determine the size of himself test for the known shape parameter which in this paper we will determine it.

In the Bayesian framework, robust Bayesian methods concern on estimation of unknown parameters, or prediction of future observation, by specifying a class of priors instead of a single prior. Robust Bayesian methods have been used extensively in actuarial sciences for estimation of premium and prediction of future claim size. In this paper we consider robust Bayes estimation of premium and prediction of future claim size under two classes of prior distribution and under the scale invariant squared error loss function. Finally, by a simulation study and using prequential analysis, we compare the obtained robust Bayes estimators of future claim size.

Traditional methods for testing equality of means are based on normality observations in each treatment, but parametric bootstrap methods offer a test statistic to estimate P-value by resampling. In article, first, Fisher, Cochran, Welch, James, Brown and Forsyth, Approximate F, Weerahandi, Adjust Welch and Parametric Bootstrap tests for testing hypothesis equality of means are defined. Then type one error and power of these tests were compared to each other by a simulation study for various sizes of samples and treatments. Finally sizes of these tests were calculated for the real data of Esfahan Cement factory.

In recent decades optimal control problems with partial differential equation constraints have been studied extensively. These issues are very complex and the numerical solution of such problems is of great importance. In this article we will discuss the solution of elliptic optimal control problem. First, by using the finite element method we obtain to gain the discrete form of the problem. The obtained discrete problem is actually a large scale constrained optimization problem. Solving this optimization problem with traditional methods is difficult and requires a lot of CPU time and memory. But split Bergman method converts the constrained problem to an unconstrained problem, and hence it saves time and memory requirement. We then use the split Bregman iterative methods for solving this problem, and examples show the speed and accuracy of split Bregman iterative methods for solving this type of problems. We also use the SQP method for solving the problem and compare with split Bregman method.

In this article a spatial model is presented for extreme values with marginal generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. The spatial model would be able to capture the multi-scale spatial dependencies. The small scale dependencies in this model is modeled by means of copula function and then in a hierarchical manner a random field is related to location parameters of marginal GEV distributions in order to account for large scale dependencies. Bayesian inference of presented model is accomplished by offered Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) design, which consisted of Gibbs sampler, random walk Metropolis-Hastings and adaptive independence sampler algorithms. In proposed MCMC design the vector of location parameters is updated simultaneously based on devised multivariate proposal distribution. Also, we attain Bayesian spatial prediction by approximation of the predictive distribution. Finally, the estimation of model parameters and possibilities for capturing and separation of multi-scale spatial dependencies are investigated in a simulation example and analysis of wind speed extremes.

The concept of rotundity is not far from differentiability . Some paper investigate the relation between rotundity and smoothness. In this paper we will explain some new relation between rotundity and very smoothness.
A Banach space is rotund if the midpoint of every two distinct points of unit sphere is in the open unit ball of Banach space. A Banach space is smooth if its norm is Gateaux differentiable at every non zero point of the space and it is very smooth if the norm is very Gateaux differentiable. That is , the norm of Banach space and the norm of second dual of Banach space are Gateaux differentiable at every non zero point of Banach space.

In this paper rationalized Haar (RH) functions method is applied to approximate the numerical solution of the fractional Volterra integro-differential equations (FVIDEs). The fractional derivatives are described in Caputo sense. The properties of RH functions are presented, and the operational matrix of the fractional integration together with the product operational matrix are used to reduce the computation of FVIDEs into a system of algebraic equations. By using this technique for solving FVIDEs time and computational are small. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate application of the presented method with RH functions base.In this paper rationalized Haar (RH) functions method is applied to approximate the numerical solution of the fractional Volterra integro-differential equations (FVIDEs).

One of the main goals in studying the time series is estimation of prediction interval based on an observed sample path of the process. In recent years, different semiparametric bootstrap methods have been proposed to find the prediction intervals without any assumption of error distribution. In semiparametric bootstrap methods, a linear process is approximated by a autoregressive process. Then the bootstrap samples are generated by resampling from the residuals.

In this paper, at first these sieve bootstrap methods are defined and then, in a simulation study sieve bootstrap prediction intervals are compared with a Standard Gaussian prediction interval. at last these methods are used to find the prediction intervals for weather data of Isfahan.

In this paper we introduce a word based stream cipher consisting of a chaotic part operating as a chaotic permutation and a linear part, both of which designed on a finite field. We will show that this system can operate in both synchronized and self-synchronized modes. In particular, we show that in the self-synchronized mode the stream cipher has a receiver operating as an unknown input observer.
In addition we evaluate the statistical uniformity of the output and we also show that the system in the self-synchronized mode is much faster and lighter for implementation compared to similar self-synchronized systems with equal key size.

Diffusion Processes such as Brownian motions and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes are the classes of stochastic processes that have been under considerations of the researchers in various scientific disciplines including biological sciences. It is usually assumed that the outcomes of these processes
are lied on the Euclidean spaces. However, some data are appeared in physical, chemical and biological phenomena that cannot be considered as the observations in Euclidean spaces due to various features
such as the periodicity of the data. Hence, we cannot analysis them using the common mathematical methods available in Euclidean spaces. In addition, studying and analyzing them using common linear statistics are not possible. One of these typical data is the dihedral angles that are utilized to identifying, modeling and predicting the proteins backbones. Because these angles are representatives of points on the surface of torus, it seems that proper statistical modeling of diffusion processes on the torus could be of a great help for the research activities on dynamic molecular simulations in predicting the proteins backbones. In this article, using the Riemannian distance on the torus, the stochastic differential equations to describe the Brownian motions and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes on this geometrical objects will be derived. Then, in order to evaluate the proposed models, the statistical simulations will be performed using the equilibrium distributions of aforementioned stochastic processes. Moreover, the link between the gained results with the available concepts in the non-linear statistics will be highlighted.

A new technique to find the optimization parameter in TSVD regularization method based on a curve which is drawn against the residual norm [5]. Since the TSVD regularization is a method with discrete regularization parameter then the above-mentioned curve is also discrete. In this paper we present a mathematical analysis of this curve, showing that the curve has L-shaped path very similar to that of the classical L-curve and its corner point can represent the optimization regularization parameter very well. In order to find the corner point of the L-curve (optimization parameter), two methods are applied: pruning and triangle. Numerical results show that in the considered test problems the new curve is better than the classical L-curve.
