In linear regression, an outlier is an observation with large residual.  In other words, it is an observation whose dependent-variable value is unusual given its values on the predictor variables. An outlier observation may indicate a data entry error or other problem.

An observation with an extreme value on a predictor variable is a point with high leverage. Leverage is a measure of how far an independent variable deviates from its mean. These leverage points can have an effect on the estimate of regression coefficients.

Robust estimation for regression parameters deals with cases that have very high leverage, and cases that are outliers. Robust estimation is essentially a

The paper attempts to find out the elements of picaresque novel in selected English and Iraqi novels. It studies these elements in Henry Fielding’s Joseph Andrews and Adil Abduljabbar’s Arzal Hamad Al-Salim. The paper is divided into four sections. The first is an introduction to the picaresque novel. It gives a definition, a historical background, and the elements of the genre. The second section studies Fielding’s novel focusing on the elements of this type of novel and how it affects the story itself. The paper follows the novel from the beginning to the end showing these elements. The third is dedicated to Abduljabbar’s novel and how the elements of picaresque genre appear in the novel and play an important role in its developm

تركز هذا البحث على تقدير دالة الانحدار المتمثل بتطبيق عملي يشير الى كمية صادرات النفط السعودي كدالة بدلالة عدد حقول النفط المكتشفة فيها ،اذ تم اخذ السعودية ودراسة صادراتها كونها تعد من احدى كبريات الدول المصدرة للنفط ومن الدول المستقرة سياسيا وماليا وامنيا في منطقة الخليج العربي والشرق الاوسط . ولغرض دراسة سلوك البيانات تبين ان السلوك الناتج لم يكن متبعا نمطا خطيا معروفا ولم تكن هنالك امكانية لمعرفة

تم إستعراض تقدير معلمتي التوزيع اللوجستي بإستعمال طريقة ذات مقدرات مضبوطة وهي طريقة العزوم، ومقارنتها بمقدرات تقريبية مأخوذة بالأساس من أسلوب طريقة (وايت) في التقدير بأعتبار التوزيع اللوجستي من التوزيعات الأحتمالية الأسية، وهي كل من طريقة المربعات الصغرى الأعتيادية، وطريقة أنحدار الحرف، وأقتراح تطبيق طريقة أنحدار الحرف المعدلة على هذا التوزيع. وتم أستحصال النتائج بالأستناد الى تجارب محاكاة لتلك الطر

This research deals with the rhetoric purposes of the passive voice in the holy Quran. First, we put an introductory to the concept of the Quran language and its difference of the spoken Arabic language during the revelation period. Besides; we gave a brief about the structure passive voice form of Arabic language. Second, we explained the purposes of passive voice used in the holly Quran with sufficient examples, commentaries and clarifications about all the cases. Rhetoric purposes that we deals with are: concision, emphasize an idea, avoid using the subject because it is known and clear for all or because it is really unknown, etc. This part has contained the most important purposes for the use of passive voice in holy Quran. At the end

يصدر القضاء الدستوري احكامه على وفق اختصاصاته المتعددة ، وأخصها احكامه المعدمة للقوانين المخالفة للدستور ، لذا فإن ذاتية احكامه وصفاتها تمايزت عما سواها من الاحكام القضائية ، وامتازت عليها بخصائص العموم والالزام المطلق والبتات النهائي ؛ من هنا تقايست تلك الاحكام مع القواعد القانونية التي تسن بخصائص العموم والتجريد حتى باتت تنشر بالجريدة الرسمية ذاتها وأصبحت لا تقبل المطاعن التمييزية كونها مقترنة بقر

ان هدف هذا البحث يتمثل بيان أهمية تقدير دالة الانحدار شبه المعلميه .إذ تم استعراض بعض الطرائق شبه المعلميه مع بعض الطرائق المقترحة لتقدير دالة الانحدار , ومن ثم مقارنة هذه الطرائق من خلال أسلوب المحاكاة باستعمال توزيعات, إحجام عينات ومستويات تباين مختلفة للمتغير X , اذ تم اقتراح مقدر مدمج شبه معلمي لتقدير دالة الانحدار وقد اثبتت النتائج افضلية هذا المقدر المقترح في حالة الأنموذجين الأول والثاني, إما للأنم

This work is devoted to a comparative study of the phenomenon of enantiosemy in Russian and Arabic.Everyone knows the term antonyms - words of the same part of speech, opposite in meaning, such as: Day and night, white and black, truth and lies. But in Russian, Arabic and other languages there is an interesting phenomenon, which consists in the fact that one word has two opposite meanings. Such a phenomenon in linguistics is called enantiosemy (from the Greek words enantios - "opposite" and sema - "sign")

The development in manufacturing computers from both (Hardware and Software) sides, make complicated robust estimators became computable and gave us new way of dealing with the data, when classical discriminant methods failed in achieving its optimal properties especially when data contains a percentage of outliers. Thus, the inability to have the minimum probability of misclassification. The research aim to compare robust estimators which are resistant to outlier influence like robust H estimator, robust S estimator and robust MCD estimator, also robustify misclassification probability with showing outlier influence on the percentage of misclassification when using classical methods. ,the other

The repeated measurement design is called a complete randomized block design for repeated measurement when the subject is given the all different treatments , in this case the subject is considered as a block . Many of nonparametric methods were considered like Friedman test (1937) and Koch test(1969) and Kepner&Robinson test(1988) when the assumption of normal distribution of the data is not satisfied .as well as F test  when the assumptions of the analysis of variance is satisfied ,where the observations within blocks are assumed to be equally correlated . The purpose of this paper is to summarize the result of the simulation study for comparing these methods as well as present the suggested
