Abstract:
The coefficients of regression are usually estimated for minimization problems with asymmetric loss functions. In this paper, we rather correct predictions so that the prediction error follows a generalized Gaussian distribution. In our method, we not only minimize the expected value of the asymmetric loss, but also lower the variance of the loss. Predictions usually have errors. Therefore, it is necessary to use predictions in consideration of these errors. Our approach takes into account prediction errors. Furthermore, even if we do not understand the prediction method, which is a possible circumstance in, e.g. deep learning, we can use our method if we know the prediction error distribution and asymmetric loss function. Our method can be applied to procurement of electricity from electricity markets.

Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
