This communication presents a nonsupervised three-dimensional segmentation method based upon a discrete-level unilateral Markov field model for the labels and conditionally Gaussian densities for the observed voxels. Such models have been shown to yield nu ...
A non-parametric method of distribution estimation for univariate data is presented. The idea is to adapt the smoothing spline procedure used in regression to the estimation of distributions via a scatterplot smoothing of theempirical distribution function ...
The estimation of cumulative distributions is classically performed using the empirical distribution function. This estimator has excellent properties but is lacking continuity. Smooth versions of the empirical distribution function have been obtained by k ...
Procedures are presented that allow the empiricist to estimate and test asset pricing models on limited-liability securities without the assumption that the historical payoff distribution provides a consistent estimate of the market's prior beliefs. The pr ...
An application to antenna optimization of bayesian network density of probability estimators is presented. This technique is very usefull for optimizations where abig number of parameters, multiple solutions and local minima increase the likelihood to conv ...
We consider unicast equation based rate control defined as follows. A source adjusts its rate primarily at loss events to f(p) where p is an estimator of loss event ratio. Function f is typically the loss-throughput formula of a TCP source. In absence of l ...
The Neyman-Scott rectangular pulses model is a clustered point process in time. This article presents a new method of parameters estimation for this model applied to rainfall simulation. It is based on a modified method of moments using two temporal scales ...
In Part 1 of this article we developed an approach for the calculation of cancer effect measures for life cycle assessment (LCA). In this article, we propose and evaluate the method for the screening of noncancer toxicological health effects. This approach ...
High-resolution angle-resolved (ARPES) photoemission in the quasi-one dimensional (1D) Peierls systems (TaSe4)(2)I and K0.3MoO3 reveals spectral features with clear 1D character. Their dispersion and polarization dependence is consistent with open Fermi su ...
Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) have the potential to contribute to the solution of the traffic congestion problem. DynaMIT is a real-time system that can be used to generate guidance for traveler ...
