A simple mathematical standardized measurement of acetabulum anteversion after total hip arthroplasty.
For a 4x4 contingency table, this note gives a simple statistic to test the goodness-of-fit of the generalized palindromic symmetry (GPS) model considered by McCullagh (1978). Also an asymptotic confidence interval for a parameter of interest in the GPS model is given. Two sets of unaided vision data are used as example.
In this paper, feature selection in multiclass cases for classification of remote-sensing images is addressed. A criterion based on a simple upper bound to the error probability of the Bayes classifier for the minimum error is proposed. This criterion has the advantage of selecting features having a link with the error probability with a low computational load. Experiments have been carried out in order to compare the performances provided by the proposed criterion with the ones of some of the widely...
This paper considers a procedure to obtain effect estimators in the least squares analysis of a slightly disproportionate factorial design when a sample survey is made of the results of an extensive experiment. Explicit formulae have been found for the restricted estimators and their variances, when the constraints normally imposed upon a proportional model are used. In addition, an approximate analysis of the original model is used to perform that estimation, and an approximate analysis of variance...
In this paper we investigate the behavior of the discrete time AR (Auto Regressive) representations over a finite time interval, in terms of the finite and infinite spectral structure of the polynomial matrix involved in the AR-equation. A boundary mapping equation and a closed formula for the determination of the solution, in terms of the boundary conditions, are also gived.
The maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters for the 3-parameter Weibull distribution do not always exist. Furthermore, computationally it is difficult to find all the solutions. Thus, the case of missing some solutions and among them the maximum likelihood estimators cannot be excluded. In this paper we provide a simple rule with help of which we are able to know if the system of the log-likelihood equations has even or odd number of solutions. It is a useful tool for the detection of all...
For a random rotation X = M0 eφ(ε) where M0 is a 3 x 3 rotation, ε is a trivariate random vector, and φ(ε) is a skew symmetric matrix, the least squares criterion consists of seeking a rotation M called the mean rotation minimizing tr[(M - E(X))t (M - E(X))]. Some conditions on the distribution of ε are set so that the least squares estimator is unbiased. Of interest is when ε is normally distributed N(0;Σ). Unbiasedness of the least squares estimator is dealt with according to eigenvalues of Σ.
A dependence measure for arbitrary type pairs of random variables is proposed and analyzed, which in the particular case where both random variables are continuous turns out to be a concordance measure. Also, a sample version of the proposed dependence measure based on the empirical subcopula is provided, along with an R package to perform the corresponding calculations.
