A statistical problem

A statistical mechanical problem?

The problem of deriving the processes of perception and cognition or the modes of behavior from states of the brain appears to be unsolvable in view of the huge numbers of elements involved. However, neural activities are not random, nor independent, but constrained to form spatio-temporal patterns, and thanks to these restrictions, which in turn are due to connections among neurons, the proble...

A Clustering Based Location-allocation Problem Considering Transportation Costs and Statistical Properties (RESEARCH NOTE)

Cluster analysis is a useful technique in multivariate statistical analysis. Different types of hierarchical cluster analysis and K-means have been used for data analysis in previous studies. However, the K-means algorithm can be improved using some metaheuristics algorithms. In this study, we propose simulated annealing based algorithm for K-means in the clustering analysis which we refer it a...

Is Pattern Recognition a Statistical Problem?

Human beings effortlessly perform sophisticated pattern recognitions tasks such as speech recognition, speaker recognition, signature matching, handwriting recognition, face recognition, etc. We have no simple way of dealing with these problems with the existing mathematical models, which are primarily based on the statistical methods. The answer to this dilemma lies in developing new models of...

Logical Relations in a Statistical Problem

This paper presents the progicnet programme. It proposes a general framework for probabilistic logic that can guide inference based on both logical and probabilistic input, and it introduces a common calculus for making inferences in the framework. After an introduction to the programme as such, it is illustrated by means of a toy example from psychometrics. It is shown that the framework and c...
