with delayed rejection (SS-MMHDR) is developed to evaluate the time-dependent reliability …

Accurate assessment and analysis of wind energy resources are the key to wind farm
planning. In this study, we evaluate the wind energy resource potential in the Urat area of …

Reliable quantile estimates of annual peak flow discharges (APFDs) are needed for the
design and operation of major hydraulic infrastructures and for more general flood risk …

The distribution models of wind speed data are essential to assess the potential wind speed
energy because they decrease the uncertainty in estimating wind energy output. Therefore …

This study is conducted to develop homogenous climatic regions (HCR) based on
Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) by combining cluster analysis and L-moment …

Assessing the spatial and temporal distribution of wind speed is essential for the proper
design and performance monitoring of wind farms. This study evaluates the efficacy of 8 …

Fitting the wind speed probability distribution is essential to investigation of the wind energy
potential and simulation of a wind farm. In this paper, Maxwell and power Maxwell …

A probabilistic approach is developed to estimate multivariate extreme wind loads by
introducing copula theory. Three major concerns are addressed:(1) the characterization of …

Weibull distribution is an extensively used statistical distribution for analyzing wind speed
and determining energy potential studies. Estimation of the wind speed distribution …

Background Precise predictions of incidence and mortality rates due to breast cancer (BC)
are required for planning of public health programs as well as for clinical services. A number …
