An Analytic Method for Predicting Simulation Parallelism

The ability to predict the performance of a simulationapplication before its implementation is an important factor to the adoption of parallel simulation technology in industry. Ideally, a simulationist estimates the inherent parallelism of a simulation problem to determine whether it is worthwhile to invest resources to carry out a parallel simulation. In this paper, we proposed an analytic me...

An analytic method for longitudinal mortality studies.

Our knowledge of mortality risks comes largely from longitudinal (cohort) studies. The most commonly used analytic tool is the Cox proportional hazards model for survival analysis. An alternative approach is a simple cross-sectional analysis of person-years. The key to the method is logistic regression, where the outcome variable is lived/died in the given year and the explanatory variables are...

Behavior Bounding: An Efficient Method for High-Level Behavior Comparison

In this paper, we explore methods for comparing agent behavior with human behavior to assist with validation. Our exploration begins by considering a simple method of behavior comparison. Motivated by shortcomings in this initial approach, we introduce behavior bounding, an automated model-based approach for comparing behavior that is inspired, in part, by Mitchell’s Version Spaces. We show tha...

Introducing an Optimized Method for Obtaining X-ray Diffraction Patterns of Biological Tissues

Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...
