We consider a discrete-time probabilistic inference system where the conclusions and inputs are probability measures on measurable spaces X,X and Y,Y respectively. We are given a kernel N from X to Y (N : X × Y → [0, 1]), which represents the way information about states of affairs (represented by X) is transmitted to a receptor (represented by Y ). Suppose that at time t = i the conclusion is ...

Seed Number and an Asymmetry Index of 'McIntosh' Apples

In ‘McIntosh’ apples (Malus domestica Borkh.), the number of well-formed seeds and the number of fertilized ovules (well-formed plus aborted seeds) were correlated to yield an index of asymmetry for individual fruit. In spite of different flowering and pollination conditions in 1990 and 1991, the index of asymmetry decreased curvilinearly with increases in the number of well-formed seeds and of...

Automated McIntosh-Based Classification of Sunspot Groups Using MDI Images

A hybrid system for the automated detection and McIntosh-based classification of sunspot groups on SOHO/MDI white-light images using active-region data extracted from SOHO/MDI magnetogram images is presented in this paper. After sunspots are detected from MDI white-light images they are grouped/clustered using MDI magnetogram images. By integrating image-processing and Neural Networks technique...

the well-known tendency of particular maladies to show breed-specificity can be used to infer likely sharing of descent of the causative alleles. As made clear in the volume under review, this is as true of major-gene diseases such as copper toxicosis and various retinopathies, as it is of the more complex and more prevalent cardiomyopathies, cancers, and dermatitis. Conduction of clinical tria...
