Our previous works suggest that fractal texture feature is useful to detect pediatric brain tumor in multimodal MRI. In this study, we systematically investigate efficacy of using several different image features such as intensity,... more
Traditionally multi-variate normal distributions have been the staple of data modeling in most domains. For some domains, the model they provide is either inadequate or incorrect because of the disregard for the directional components of... more
We describe a model for strings of characters that is loosely based on the Lempel Ziv model with the addition that a repeated substring can be an approximate match to the original substring; this is close to the situation of DNA, for... more
As recent advances in calcium sensing technologies facilitate simultaneously imaging action potentials in neuronal populations, complementary analytical tools must also be developed to maximize the utility of this experimental paradigm.... more
Abstract: A class of adaptive sampling methods is introduced for efficient posterior and predictive simulation. The proposed methods are robust in the sense that they can handle target distributions that exhibit non-elliptical shapes such... more
This paper presents the Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (vSLAMTM) algorithm, a novel algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). The algorithm is vision-and odometry-based, and enables low-cost navigation in... more
Cette étude est focalisée sur la comparaison des performances de certains algorithmes de clustering en présence de données manquantes dans notre échantillon de travail. Plusieurs études ont été faites sur la possibilité de tenir compte... more
In this study, we investigate the clustering capability of two unsupervised learning clustering methods: K-means and Expectation Maximization (EM). We train the methods on soccer match data of the Spanish competition La Liga, which... more
The effects of a job training program, Job Corps, on both employment and wages are evaluated using data from a randomized study. Principal stratification is used to address, simultaneously, the complications of noncompliance, wages that... more
Purpose PETbox is a low cost bench top preclinical PET scanner dedicated to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mouse studies. A prototype system was developed at our institute, and this manuscript characterizes the performance of the... more
In this paper, a distributed multi-target tracking (MTT) algorithm suitable for implementation in wireless sensor networks is proposed. For this purpose, the Monte Carlo (MC) implementation of joint probabilistic data-association filter... more
The imbalances between the In-phase (I) and Quadrature-phase (Q) branches represent a significant source of impairment in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Recently, it has been shown that the unwanted IQ... more
A model is a representation of a real world phenomena. Probability theory gives us a framework to quantify uncertainty in a mathematically rigorous manner [4]. A random variable is a function on the elements in the sample space. A random... more
