R. W. Conlan; FLORIDA UNIV EGLIN AFB GRADUATE ENGINEERING CENTER
|
 | Methods for predicting values for vertical acceleration and pitch are presented. The instantaneous formulation is examined by use of the indicial response technique applied to a linear second order differential equation for nondimensional pitching moment as a function of time. Various examples of indicial responses are examined to determine under what conditions vertical acceleration and pitch may be considered time independent. A potential fluid method referred to as the method ... |

| ON THE MAXIMUM-LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION OF FAILURE PROBABILITIES IN THE PRESENCE OF COMPETING RISKS. |

| Authors:
Charles Anello; RESEARCH ANALYSIS CORP MCLEAN VA
|
| The paper is concerned with the statistical problem of estimating failure rates of a population exposed to several simultaneous hazards or risks. Two distinct models are discussed: (a) a model that is appropriate when the risk-specific hazard rates can be assumed constant over the study period, and (b) a model that assumes the risk-specific hazard rates are linear functions of time. For both models the method of finding the maximum-likelihood ... |

|
 | Procedures of statistical inference are described which generalize Bayesian inference in specific ways. Probability is used in such a way that in general only bounds may be placed on the probabilities of given events, and probability systems of this kind are suggested both for sample information and for prior information. These systems are then combined using a specified rule. Illustrations are given for inferences about trinomial probabilities, and for inferences ... |

| A CIRCUMFERENTIAL SLOT ANTENNA FOR USE ON ROCKET PROBES. |

B. J. Rubright; PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIV UNIVERSITY PARK IONOSPHERE RESEARCH LAB
|
| An analysis of a circumferential slot antenna is presented. The radiation patterns of the antenna are calculated using a theoretical model and compared with experimental patterns obtained from an actual physical model of the antenna. Possible reasons for the differences between the results are indicated. (Author) |

| EMPIRICAL NONLINEAR PREDICTION AND POLYSPECTRA. |

John W. Van Ness; STANFORD UNIV CALIF DEPT OF STATISTICS
|
| The classical linear prediction problem has received much attention both theoretically and empirically in the past few decades and a great deal is known about it (though there remain important open questions). The nonlinear prediction problem is much more difficult and much less is known about it. The present paper discusses a means of obtaining certain two-sided nonlinear predictors of a stationary process (X(t,w)) given a jointly stationary process (Y(t,w)). ... |

| KINETICS OF COMBUSTION PRODUCT REACTIONS INVOLVING CHLORINE AND FLUORINE EXCHANGES. |

|
| A procedure has been developed for predicting activation energies and high-temperature rate constants for the reactions of combustion products formed from propellants that use oxidizers containing compounds of chlorine or fluorine. The procedure has been applied also to computing the high temperature kinetics of bimolecular gas-phase reactions in which the following atoms are transferred: O, N, B, Br, I, Be, and C. The computation procedure was based on modifications to ... |

| AN EVALUATION OF THE U. S. NAVY STRATOSPHERIC EXTRA-POLATION EQUATIONS AND AN INTERCOMPARISON OF SEVERAL METHODS OF 100,50 AND 30-MB ANALYSES. |

|
| In 1960 the United States Navy Weather Research Facility, Norfolk, Virginia, (NWRF) derived a set of linear regression equations having as their purpose to extrapolate vertically height and temperature data up to the 100-,50-, and 30-mb levels. The equations are statistically evaluated, particularly for the latitude band 30-40 degrees, with a view toward improving their usage in objective analysis by the United States Navy Fleet Numerical Weather Facility, Monterey, California ... |

| EXTENSIONS TO THEORY OF TIME-SERIES ANALYSIS. |

|
| The problem of the prediction of random fields from incomplete information has been explored. A field characterised by a function u(x,t) depending upon a space variable x and time is considered. The field is governed by a linear partial differential equation with constant coefficients and of hyperbolic type. If the field and derivative have been observed in a domain, the hyperbolic equation is used to predict the exact future evolution ... |
