Mean Square Lateral Deviation for Electrons in a Cascade Shower

On Weighted Pcm and Mean Square Deviation

Distributed average consensus with least-mean-square deviation

We consider a stochastic model for distributed average consensus, which arises in applications such as load balancing for parallel processors, distributed coordination of mobile autonomous agents, and network synchronization. In this model, each node updates its local variable with a weighted average of its neighbors’ values, and each new value is corrupted by an additive noise with zero mean. ...

Determination of Exponential Smoothing Constant to Minimize Mean Square Error and Mean Absolute Deviation

Exponential smoothing technique is one of the most important quantitative techniques in forecasting. The accuracy of forecasting of this technique depends on exponential smoothing constant. Choosing an appropriate value of exponential smoothing constant is very crucial to minimize the error in forecasting. This paper addresses the selection of optimal value of exponential smoothing constant to ...

Mean square convergence analysis for kernel least mean square algorithm

In this paper, we study the mean square convergence of the kernel least mean square (KLMS). The fundamental energy conservation relation has been established in feature space. Starting from the energy conservation relation, we carry out the mean square convergence analysis and obtain several important theoretical results, including an upper bound on step size that guarantees the mean square con...

New Shower Maximum Trigger for Electrons and Photons at Cdf

For the 1994 Tevatron collider run, CDF has upgraded the electron and photon trigger hardware to make use of shower position and size information from the central shower maximum detector. For electrons, the upgrade has resulted in a 50% reduction in backgrounds while retaining approximately 90% of the signal. The new trigger also eliminates the background to photon triggers from single-phototub...
