In this note, the representations of extremal Dirichlet and logistic distributions are reviewed and extended. These new representations allow exact simulations of the spectral distribution functions and an extension of the extremal logistic case to dimensi ...
The Weibull distribution, used to describe the scaling of strength of materials, has been verified on a wide range of materials and geometries; however, the quality of the fitting tended to be less good towards the upper tail. Based on a previously develop ...
We describe a set of probability distributions, dubbed compressible priors, whose independent and identically distributed (iid) realizations result in p-compressible signals. A signal x in R^N is called p-compressible with magnitude R if its sorted coeffic ...
In a method for determining geometrical characteristics (d) of an anomaly (12) which changes the electrical conductivity in the region near the surface of an electrically conducting, in particular a metallic test object (10), a considerable simplification ...
Predicting species distribution is of fundamental importance for ecology and conservation. However, distribution models are usually established for only one region and it is unknown whether they can be transferred to other geographical regions. We studied ...
Digital media have become an integral part of modern lives. Whether surfing the web, making a wireless phone call, watching satellite TV, or listening to digital music, a large part of our professional and leisure time is filled with all things digital. Th ...
The thesis is a contribution to extreme-value statistics, more precisely to the estimation of clustering characteristics of extreme values. One summary measure of the tendency to form groups is the inverse average cluster size. In extreme-value context, th ...
Transportation networks are inevitably selected with reference to their global cost which depends on the strengths and the distribution of the embedded currents. We prove that optimal current distributions for a uniformly injected d-dimensional network exh ...
A model for average travel time estimation on signalized urban networks by integrating cumulative plots with probe vehicle information is presented. The integration is performed with the aim to reduce the relative deviations in the cumulative plots occurre ...
This paper presents a few examples of the application of electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) to solidification problems. For directionally solidified Al-Zn samples, this technique could reveal the change in dendrite growth directions from < 100 > to < ...
