Decrement Models Under Fractional Independence Assumption

On Kleinrock's Independence Assumption

This chapter is concerned with the impact of traffic correlations on the end-to-end delay of packets in a chain of IP routers represented by an open tandem queueing system. Particular consideration is given to Kleinrock’s independence assumption on the performance impact of traffic correlation on packet switched networks with Poisson arrival processes and exponential packet length distributions...

Optimal Classifier’s Independence Assumption 1 A Test of the Optimal Classifier’s Independence Assumption in Perceptual Categorization

Observers completed perceptual categorization tasks that included separate base-rate/payoff manipulations, corresponding simultaneous base-rate/payoff manipulations, and conflicting simultaneous base-rate/payoff manipulations. Performance was (a) closer to optimal for 2:1 than 3:1 base-rate/payoff ratios, and when base-rates, as opposed to payoffs were manipulated, and (b) was more in line with...

The effects of the violation of local independence assumption on the person measures under the Rasch model

Local independence of test items is an assumption in all Item Response Theory (IRT) models. That is, the items in a test should not be related to each other. Sharing a common passage, which is prevalent in reading comprehension tests, cloze tests and C-Tests, can be a potential source of local item dependence (LID). It is argued in the literature that LID results in biased parameter estimation ...

Overcoming the Independence Assumption in LMS Filtering

The learning process of the LMS algorithm remains understood only very poorly. Despite three decades of intensive research, very few results have been found to overcome the classical independence assumption in which the sequence of driving regression vectors is assumed to be statistically independent. While giving relatively precise results for processes of little correlation, the results obtai...
