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

Nonparametric methods are used in the data that contain outliers values. The main importance in using Nonparametric methods is to locate the median in the multivariate regression model. It is difficult to locate the median due to the presence of more than one dimension and the dispersion of values and the increase of the studied phenomenon data.The genetic algorithms Minimum Weighted Covariance Determinant Estimator (MWCD), was applied and compared with the multilayer neural network Back propagation to find the estimate of the median location based on the minimum distance (Mahalanobis Distance) and smallest specified for the variance matrix. Joint Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) as one of the most nonparametric methods robust. The stud

Despite scholars’ attention on the typology of modality as a linguistic phenomenon, yet the use of modality across varieties of English is not well visible in communication-based researches that take semantics, pragmatics and discourse issues as the objects for their investigation. The paper generates its data from six M. A. dissertations from Nigerian University and equal number of the M. A. dissertations from Iraqi University to qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the contextual use of modality within the pragmatic perspective. The data analysis reveals that modality such as usuality, potentiality, necessity, probability and obligation in the dissertations encapsulates interpersonal and authorial voice in which the mean

هدفت الدراسة التعرف على واقع الريادة الاستراتيجية لإدارة بطولات العاب المضرب في العراق من وجهة نظر القائمين عليها ، وإنتهجت الباحثتان أسلوب دراسة الحالة من منهج البحث الوصفي على عينة من الأفراد العاملين في الإتحادات المركزية والفرعية القائمين على إدارة بطولات ألعاب المضرب في (14) محافظة عراقية عدا محافظات أقليم كردستان يمثلون الهيئات الإدارية للاتحادت المركزية والفرعية فضلا عن الحكام والمدربين ، في ثل

Competitive swimming is a highly researched area and technological developments have aided advances in the understanding of the biomechanical principles that underpin these elements and govern propulsion. Moreover, those working in the sports field especially in swimming are interested in studying, analyzing, evaluating and developing motor skills by diagnosing the strengths and weaknesses of the skill, and accordingly, coaches and specialists correct these errors. The researchers chose this (Butterfly swimming) and the (arm length) is an important variable because the success of the stroke is greatly dependent on the propulsion generated from the arm pull, and swimmers with a longer arm span have a mechanical advantage with the resulting f

الموازنة العراقية قبل عام 2003 تعاني من مشكله العجز فعلي بسبب انخفاض كمية تصدير النفط وانخفاض ايرادات الدولة ولكن بعد عام 2003 وبعد تحسن الوضع المالي للبلد (زيادة ايرادات الدولة) بسبب فك الحصار عن العراق وزيادة كميات النفط المصدرة اصبحت المشكلة التي تعاني منها الموازنة العامة هي العجز المخطط من عام (2004- 2018) .وبسبب الاعتماد على الايرادات النفطية نلاحظ في حالة زيادة اسعار النفط تزداد ايرادات الدولة فيزداد الت
