We report the first observation of the decay B̄0→Ds+Λ p̄ with a statistical significance of 6.6σ. We measure B(B̄0→Ds+Λp̄)=(2.9±0.7±0.5±0.4) ×10-5, where the first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third error comes from the uncertain ...
Although non-parametric tests have already been proposed for that purpose, statistical significance tests for non-standard measures (different from the classification error) are less often used in the literature. This paper is an attempt at empirically ver ...
One of the main applications of electrophoretic 2-D gels is the analysis of differential responses between different conditions. For this reason, specific spots are present in one of the images, but not in the other. In some other occasions, the same exper ...
Olfactometer experiments are used to determine the effect of odours on the behaviour of organisms such as insects or nematodes, and typically result in data comprising many groups of small counts, overdispersed relative to the multinomial distribution. Ove ...
Joint processing of sensor array outputs improves the performance of parameter estimation and hypothesis testing problems beyond the slim of the individual sensor processing results. When the sensors have high data sampling rates, arrays are tethered, crea ...
Background: Speaker detection is an important component of many human-computer interaction applications, like for example, multimedia indexing, or ambient intelligent systems. This work addresses the problem of detecting the current speaker in audio-visual ...
Cryptography often meets the problem of distinguishing distributions. In this paper we review techniques from hypothesis testing to express the advantage of the best distinguisher limited to a given number of samples. We link it with the Chernoff informati ...
Soil sorption processes largely control the environmental fate of herbicides. Therefore accuracy of sorption parameters is crucial for accurate prediction of herbicide mobility in agricultural soils. A combined experimental and statistical study was carrie ...
Experimental and numerical investigations were carried out on adhesively bonded full-scale double lap joints composed of pultruded GFRP profiles with relatively thick adhesive layers. Thick adhesive layers are often used in infrastructure applications in o ...
Nowadays, state-of-the-art automatic speaker recognition systems show very good performance in discriminating between voices of speakers under controlled recording conditions. However, the conditions in which recordings are made in investigative activities ...
