Checking proportional rates in the two-sample transformation model

David Kraus (2009)

Kybernetika

Transformation models for two samples of censored data are considered. Main examples are the proportional hazards and proportional odds model. The key assumption of these models is that the ratio of transformation rates (e. g., hazard rates or odds rates) is constant in time. A~method of verification of this proportionality assumption is developed. The proposed procedure is based on the idea of Neyman's smooth test and its data-driven version. The method is suitable for detecting monotonic as well...

Closed-form expressions for the approximation of arclength parameterization for Bézier curves

Mohsen Madi (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In applications such as CNC machining, highway and railway design, manufacturing industry and animation, there is a need to systematically generate sets of reference points with prescribed arclengths along parametric curves, with sufficient accuracy and real-time performance. Thus, mechanisms to produce a parameter set that yields the coordinates of the reference points along the curve Q(t) = {x(t), y(t)} are sought. Arclength parameterizable expressions usually yield a parameter set that is necessary...

Close-to-optimal algorithm for rectangular decomposition of 3D shapes

Cyril Höschl IV, Jan Flusser (2019)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for a decomposition of 3D binary shapes to rectangular blocks. The aim is to minimize the number of blocks. Theoretically optimal brute-force algorithm is known to be NP-hard and practically infeasible. We introduce its sub-optimal polynomial heuristic approximation, which transforms the decomposition problem onto a graph-theoretical problem. We compare its performance with the state of the art Octree and Delta methods. We show by extensive experiments...

Coarse-graining schemes and a posteriori error estimates for stochastic lattice systems

Markos A. Katsoulakis, Petr Plecháč, Luc Rey-Bellet, Dimitrios K. Tsagkarogiannis (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The primary objective of this work is to develop coarse-graining schemes for stochastic many-body microscopic models and quantify their effectiveness in terms of a priori and a posteriori error analysis. In this paper we focus on stochastic lattice systems of interacting particles at equilibrium. The proposed algorithms are derived from an initial coarse-grained approximation that is directly computable by Monte Carlo simulations, and the corresponding numerical error is calculated using the...
