Jaime dos Santos Cardoso Classification of Ordinal Data

Predictive learning has traditionally been a standard inductive learning, where different subproblem formulations have been identified. One of the most representative is classification, consisting on the estimation of a mapping from the feature space into a finite class space. Depending on the cardinality of the finite class space we are left with binary or multiclass classification problems. F...

Characterisations of Nelson Algebras

Nelson algebras arise naturally in algebraic logic as the algebraic models of Nelson’s constructive logic with strong negation. This note gives two characterisations of the variety of Nelson algebras up to term equivalence, together with a characterisation of the finite Nelson algebras up to polynomial equivalence. The results answer a question of Blok and Pigozzi and clarify some earlier work ...

Nelson–Aalen Estimator

The Nelson–Aalen estimator is a nonparametric estimator which may be used to estimate the cumulative hazard rate function from censored survival data (see Survival Distributions and Their Characteristics). Since no distributional assumptions are needed, one important use of the estimator is to check graphically the fit of parametric models, and this is the reason why it was originally introduce...
