The article studies estimation of Delta = p(1) - p(2), the difference of two proportions p(1) and p(2), based on two independent Binomial experiments of size n(1) and n(2). The usual estimator, the difference between the two sample proportions, is variance ...
A method is presented to produce probability distributions for regional climate change in surface temperature and precipitation. The method combines a probability distribution for global mean temperature increase with the probability distributions for the ...
Block algorithms for reordering a selected set of eigenvalues in a standard or generalized Schur form are proposed. Efficiency is achieved by delaying orthogonal transformations and (optionally) making use of level 3 BLAS operations. Numerical experiments ...
We present a diffusion-based bias-compensated recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm for distributed estimation in ad-hoc adaptive sensor networks where nodes cooperate to estimate a common deterministic parameter vector. It is assumed that both the regre ...
An interpolation model is a necessary ingredient of intensity-based registration methods. The properties of such a model depend entirely on its basis function, which has been traditionally characterized by features such as its order of approximation and it ...
We discuss variance estimation by resampling in surveys in which data are missing. We derive a formula for jackknife linearization in the case of calibrated estimation with deterministic regression imputation, and compare the resulting variance estimates w ...
Biomechanics analysis of the ski jump is highly required. Some parameters and their interrelations have been reported in previous research studies limited to few athletes. The generalization of these parameters to athletes of various levels and under train ...
Face detection in images or video sequences is a very challenging problem. It has a wide range of applications but at the same time it presents a great number of difficulties, since faces are non-rigid and very changeable objects that can adopt a lot of di ...
Transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence investigations have been carried out on a series of quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy and metal organic vapour phase epitaxy. In both cases, the emission wavelength and the peak width agree ...
Adaptive tracking of sinusoidal signal components with time-varying amplitudes and frequencies presents a great interest in many engineering applications. In many cases, the frequency components of interest are present in more than one signal. So we propos ...
