How do plants manage to survive during water shortages? They must somehow be able to sense, respond, and adapt to changes in water availability. They do this through a range of techniques that allo...

A Comparison on How Statistical Tests Deal with Concept Drifts

RCD is a framework proposed to deal with recurring concept drifts. It stores classifiers together with a sample of data used to train them. If a concept drift occurs, RCD tests all the stored samples with a sample of actual data, trying to verify if this is a new context or an old one that is recurring. This is performed by a non-parametric multivariate statistical test to make the verification...
