A statistical modeling approach to location estimation

A Statistical Modeling Approach to Location Estimation

ÐSome location estimation methods, such as the GPS satellite navigation system, require nonstandard features either in the mobile terminal or the network. Solutions based on generic technologies not intended for location estimation purposes, such as the cell-ID method in GSM/GPRS cellular networks, are usually problematic due to their inadequate location estimation accuracy. In order to enable ...

A statistical approach to classify Skype traffic

Abstract- Skype is one of the most powerful and high-quality chat tools that allows its users to use of many services such as: transferring audio, sending messages, video conferencing and audio for free. Skype traffic has a lot of Internet traffic. Hence, Internet service providers need to identify traffic to do the quality of service and network management. On the other hand, Skype developers ...

A Geometric Approach to Statistical Estimation

The role of Kerridge inaccuracy, Shannon entropy and Kullback-Leibler distance in statistical estimation is shown for both dicrete and continuous observations. The cases of data independence and regression-type dependence are considered in parallel. Pythagorean-like relations valid for probability distributions are presented and their importance for estimation under compressed data is indicated.

A Statistical Approach to Surface Shape Estimation *

A b s t r a c t . This paper is concerned with surface shape estimation by a method in which an empirically determined associative model relating appearance to surface shape is used. Significantly, the estimated model is more accurate than the algorithm that generates the examples. The method presented here is a generalization of shape from shading methods that does not rely upon idealized mode...
