Maximal Data Piling in Discrimination
In a binary discrimination problem, a linear classifier finds a linear hyperplane that separates two classes by partitioning the data space. Especially in a High Dimension Low Sample Size (HDLSS) setting, there are linear separating hyperplanes such that the projections of the training data points onto their normal direction vectors are identically zero, or some non-zero constant. Of interest i...
متن کاملOlfactory discrimination in the rabbit olfactory glomerulus.
Slow potentials evoked by odor stimulation were recorded from individual glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Systematic analysis of responses to nine different, arbitrarily selected stimuli strongly suggests a certain amount of discrimination. This fact seems to reflect in the first synapse of the olfactory tract the type of discrimination that was recently demonstrated within olfactory neuroepith...
متن کاملQuantity Discrimination in Trained Lizards (Podarcis sicula)
Quantitative abilities have been reported in many animal species. Two main methods have been extensively used: spontaneous choice tests and training procedures. A recent study showed that ruin lizards are capable of spontaneously discriminating between the surface area of two food items of different size, but failed when food was presented in sets of discrete items differing in number. In the p...
متن کاملOlfactory Predator Discrimination in Yellow-Bellied Marmots
Many mammals discriminate the scents of their predators (reviewed in Apfelbach et al. 2005) and this trait may be heritable (there is genetic variation in the degree of response to synthetic fox [Vulpes vulpes] odor in rats [Rattus norvegicus], Rosen et al. 2006). The mechanism underlying this identification may be relatively experience-independent, or it may rely on specific experience with pr...
متن کاملPiling of multiscale random models
This paper considers random balls in a D-dimensional Euclidean space whose centers are prescribed by a homogeneous Poisson point process and whose radii are forced to be in a finite interval with a power-law distribution. Random fields are constructed by counting the number of covering balls at each point. We are mainly interested in the simulation of these fields and in the empirical estimatio...
