Probabilistic models, such as hidden Markov models or Bayesian networks, are commonly used to model biological data. Much of their popularity can be attributed to the existence of efficient and robust ...

Abstract: Quasi-continuous system identification of time-variant linear acoustic systems can be applied in various audio signal processing applications when numerous acoustic transfer functions must ...

Heterosis is the improved performance of hybrids compared with their parental components and is widely exploited in agriculture. According to quantitative genetic theory, genetic distance between ...

Abstract: The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm has been extensively used to solve system identification problems with hidden variables. It needs to calculate a derivative equation and perform a ...

Filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithms reduce image noise by smoothing the image. Iterative algorithms reduce image noise by noise weighting and regularization. It is believed that iterative ...

Compared with satisficers, maximizers intend to pursue optimal results, leading to more negative emotions and worse experience. Even when they do get a better result, they are still less satisfied. We ...

The rationality assumption that underlies mainstream economic theory has proved to be a useful approximation, despite the fact that systematic violations to its predictions can be found. That is, the ...

The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) estimation of regression coefficients can be expressed as Bayesian posterior mode estimation of the regression coefficients under various ...
