Statistical Analysis of Precipitation Events

In the present paper we demonstrate the results of a statistical analysis of some characteristics of precipitation events and propose a kind of a theoretical explanation of the proposed models in terms of mixed Poisson and mixed exponential distributions based on the information-theoretical entropy reasoning. The proposed models can be also treated as the result of following the popular Bayesian approach.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures; ICNAAM 201

The Development of a Unified Balance of Fuel and Power

Considerable experience has been acquired in our country in the development of balances of material goods, including balances for fuel, electric power, light, petroleum, etc. These balances make it possible to determine the economy's needs for resources of fuel and power, the methods and means of satisfying these needs, and establish the proportions of development that have to be maintained between the fuel and power branches of the economy on the one hand, and the branches consuming their products, on the other. The experience acquired in developing these balances is of major scientific and practical value, and makes it possible now to proceed to new and more advanced methods of planning the development of the fuel-and-power base for the country.
