Many methods can be used to test alternative ground water models. Of concern in this work are methods able to (1) rank alternative models (also called model discrimination) and (2) identify observations important to parameter estimates and predictions (equ ...
Microarrays have become an important tool for studying the molecular basis of complex disease traits and fundamental biological processes. A common purpose of microarray experiments is the detection of genes that are differentially expressed under two cond ...
This paper presents the findings of a study looking into the valuation of travel time savings (VTTS) in Switzerland, across modes as well as across purpose groups. The study makes several departures from the usual practice in VTTS studies, with the main on ...
For the development, design and licensing of a nuclear power plant (NPP), a sound safety analysis is necessary to study the diverse physical phenomena involved in the system behaviour under a wide range of operational and transient conditions. Such studies ...
An accurate knowledge of the directional optical properties of advanced fenestration materials is necessary for them to be adequately integrated in buildings. These properties are expressed by the Bidirectional Transmission (or Reflection) Distribution Fun ...
In this paper we aim to explore what is the most appropriate number of data samples needed when measuring the temporal correspondence between a chosen set of video and audio cues in a given audio-visual sequence. Presently the optimal model that connects s ...
The spectral density function plays a key role in fitting the tail of multivariate extremal data and so in estimating probabilities of rare events. This function satisfies moment constraints but unlike the univariate extreme value distributions has no simple ...
Particle physics experiments such as those run in the Large Hadron Collider result in huge quantities of data, which are boiled down to a few numbers from which it is hoped that a signal will be detected. We discuss a simple probability model for this and ...
Biometric authentication performance is often depicted by a DET curve. We show that this curve is dependent on the choice of samples available, the demographic composition and the number of users specific to a database. We propose a two-step bootstrap proc ...
We describe a novel variational segmentation algorithm designed to split an image in two regions based on their intensity distributions. A functional is proposed to integrate the probability density functions of both regions within the optimization process ...
