Analytic Solution for Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone Using Second-Order Perturbation Approximations
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...
متن کاملSecond Order Approximations for Probability Models
In this paper, we derive a second order mean field theory for directed graphical probability models. By using an information theoretic argument it is shown how this can be done in the absense of a partition function. This method is the direct generalisation of the well-known TAP approximation for Boltzmann Machines. In a numerical example, it is shown that the method greatly improves the first ...
متن کاملClassiier Combining through Trimmed Means and Order Statistics
| Combining the outputs of multiple neural networks has led to substantial improvements in several dii-cult pattern recognition problems. In this article, we introduce and investigate robust combiners, a family of classiiers based on order statistics. We focus our study to the analysis of the decision boundaries, and how these boundaries are aaected by order statistics combiners. In particular,...
متن کاملOn Weighted Randomly Trimmed Means
A class of robust location estimators called weighted randomly trimmed means are introduced and not only their consistency and asymptotic normality are proved, but their influence functions, asymptotic variances and breakdown points are also derived. They possess the same breakdown points as the median, and some of them own higher asymptotic relative efficiencies at the heavy-tailed distributio...
متن کاملImpartial trimmed means for functional data
In this paper we extend the notion of impartial trimming to a functional data framework, and we obtain resistant estimates of the center of a functional distribution. We give mild conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the functional trimmed means. We show the continuity of the population parameter with respect to the weak convergence of probability measures. As a consequence we obtain ...
