2 Schur Ordering , Lorentz Curve , and Measures of Inequality 32
Discrete wavelet transformations have became indispensable analytical tools in data compression and data denoising. In this paper we give some empirical accounts of wavelet transformations and propose novel thresholding and wavelet selection methods. This is achieved via connections with measures of inequality, that have been used in economics for a long time. We compare our methods with standa...
متن کاملImproving Perplexity Measures To Inco
Traditionally, Perplexity has been used as a measure of language model performance to predict its goodness in a speech recognition system. However this measure does not take into account the acoustic confusability between words in the language model. In this paper, we introduce Equivocality – modification of the perplexity measure for it to incorporate the acoustic features of words in a langua...
متن کاملImproving self - report measures of speeding
There is continuing debate regarding the psychometric properties of self-report measures of behaviour, particularly in road safety research. Practical considerations often preclude the use of objective assessments, leading to reliance on self-report measures. Acknowledging that such measures are likely to remain commonly used, this pilot project sought not to argue whether self-report measures ...
متن کاملImproving Iris Recognition Performance Using Quality Measures
Biometric methods, which identify people based on physical or behavioural characteristics, are of interest because people cannot forget or lose their physical characteristics in the way that they can lose passwords or identity cards. Among these biometric methods, iris is currently considered as one of the most reliable biometrics because of its unique texture‘s random variation. Moreover, iris...
متن کاملEscape rates and physical measures for the infinite horizon Lorentz gas with holes
We study the statistical properties of the infinite horizon Lorentz gas after the introduction of small holes. Our basic approach is to prove the persistence of a spectral gap for the transfer operator associated with the billiard map in the presence of such holes. The new feature here is the interaction between the holes and the infinite horizon corridors, which causes previous approaches to f...
