Investigation of Collimator Influential Parameter on SPECT Image Quality: a Monte Carlo Study
Background: Obtaining high quality images in Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) device  is the most important goal in nuclear medicine. Because if image quality is low, the possibility of making a mistake in diagnosing and treating the patient will rise. Studying effective factors in spatial resolution of imaging systems is thus deemed to be vital. One of the most important factors in S...
متن کاملCosmological Constraints from Galaxy Cluster Velocity Statistics
Future microwave sky surveys will have the sensitivity to detect the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal from moving galaxy clusters, thus providing a direct measurement of their line-of-sight peculiar velocity. We show that cluster peculiar velocity statistics applied to foreseeable surveys will put significant constraints on fundamental cosmological parameters. We consider three statistical qu...
متن کاملMicrocanonical Cluster Monte Carlo
I propose a numerical simulation algorithm for statistical systems which combines a microcanonical transfer of energy with global changes in clusters of spins. The advantages of the cluster approach near a critical point augment the speed increases associated with multi-spin coding in the mi-crocanonical approach. The method also provides a limited ability to tune the average cluster size.
متن کاملEfficient Combination of Partial Monte Carlo Estimators
In many practical scenarios, including those dealing with large data sets, calculating global estimators of unknown variables of interest becomes unfeasible. A common solution is obtaining partial estimators and combining them to approximate the global one. In this technical report, we focus on minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimators, introducing two efficient linear schemes for the fusion...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Analysis of Change Point Estimators
We consider several estimators for the change point in a sequence of independent observations. These are defined as the maximizing points of usually used statistics for nonparametric change point detection problems. Our investigations focus on the non asymptotic behaviour of the proposed estimators for sample sizes commonly observed in practice. We conducted a broad Monte Carlo study to compare...
