Sequential Outlier Detection Based on Incremental Decision Trees

We introduce an online outlier detection algorithm to detect outliers in a sequentially observed data stream. For this purpose, we use a two-stage filtering and hedging approach. In the first stage, we construct a multimodal probability density function to ...

Asian option pricing with orthogonal polynomials

Sander Félix M Willems

In this paper we derive a series expansion for the price of a continuously sampled arithmetic Asian option in the Black-Scholes setting. The expansion is based on polynomials that are orthogonal with respect to the log-normal distribution. All terms in the ...

Optimal rates of statistical seriation

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion

Given a matrix, the seriation problem consists in permuting its rows in such way that all its columns have the same shape, for example, they are monotone increasing. We propose a statistical approach to this problem where the matrix of interest is observed ...

Does desorption affect the length distributions of nanowires?

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Wonjong Kim, Vladimir Dubrovskii, Jelena Vukajlovic Plestina

State-of-the art models for statistical properties within the nanowire ensembles consider influx of precursors, reflection and surface diffusion of adatoms. These models predict a delay in the nanowire growth start and the evolution toward an asymmetric le ...

Towards non-parametric reconstruction of axon diameter distributions using diffusion MRI and regularized discrete linear modeling

David Paul Roger Romascano

The distribution of axon diameters (ADD) is an important white matter feature: it influences action potential speed, it has been shown to evolve during development, and also to be affected during pathological processes. Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging ...

Empirical Characterization of Particle Size Distribution Spatial Dynamics for Helminth Eggs Detection in Waste Stabilization Ponds (WSP)

Paolo Perona

This study assesses seasonal particle size distribution (PSD) dynamics inside a waste stabilization ponds (WSP) (Buguruni, Tanzania) to understand settling dynamics of wastewater particles with an interest in helminth eggs. Results indicate that particles ...

Rock You like a Hurricane: Taming Skew in Large Scale Analytics

Willy Zwaenepoel, Nicolas Schiper, Laurent Bindschaedler, Jasmina Malicevic, Ashvin Goel

Current cluster computing frameworks suffer from load imbalance and limited parallelism due to skewed data distributions, processing times, and machine speeds. We observe that the underlying cause for these issues in current systems is that they partition ...

Search for the rare decay of B+ -> l(+)nu e gamma with improved hadronic tagging

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang

We present the result of the search for the rare B meson decay of B+ -> l(+)nu e gamma with l = e, mu. For the search the full data set recorded by the Belle experiment of 711 fb(-1) integrated luminosity near the Upsilon(4S) resonance is used. Signal cand ...

Functional Peaks-Over-Threshold Analysis for Complex Extreme Events

Most current risk assessment for complex extreme events relies on catalogues of similar events, either historical or generated artificially. In the latter, no existing methods produce completely new events with mathematically justified extrapolation above ...

Flow monitoring of particle-laden flows combining ultrasonic doppler and echo intensity profiling techniques

Giovanni De Cesare, Shun Nomura, Jumpei Hitomi

The methodology to reveal inner structures of turbidity currents are required. Their behaviors have important roles to affect the sedimentation or transportation of fine particles. We have proposed a novel monitoring methodology for flows containing fine p ...
