A note on the Gamma Test analysis

چکیده
In a smooth input/output process y = f(x), if the input data x ∈ R is noise free and only the output data y is corrupted by noise, then a near optimal smooth model ĝ will be a close approximation to f . However, as previously observed, for example in [Kantz and Schreiber, 2004], if the input data is also corrupted by noise then this is no longer the case. With noise on the inputs, the best predictive smooth model based on noisy data need not be an approximation to the actual underlying process; rather, the best predictive model depends on both the underlying process and the noise. A corollary of this observation is that one cannot readily infer the nature of a process from noisy data. Since almost all data has associated noise this conclusion has some unsettling implications. In this note we show how these effects can be quantified using the Gamma test. In particular we examine the Gamma test analysis of noisy time series data. We show that the noise level on the best predictive smooth model (based on the noisy data) can be much higher than the noise level on individual time series measurements, and we give an upper bound for the first in terms of the second.

Synthesis and application of mesoporous gamma alumina granules as iridium catalyst support
Mesoporous gamma-alumina granules, which are known as a common catalyst support in industrial applications were synthesized via the sol gel-oil drop method having a diameter of 1-2 mm. The effect of calcination temperature (450 and 750 °C) on the properties of gamma alumina granules were studied and the functionality of 20 wt% iridium catalyst on the alumina granules for hydrazine decomposition...
متن کاملDoes High Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Affect EEG Gamma Band Activity?
Background: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive, inexpensive and safe analgesic technique used for relieving acute and chronic pain. However, despite all these advantages, there has been very little research into the therapeutic effects of TENS on brain activity. To the best of our knowledge, there is no evidence on the effect of high frequency TENS on the gamma ...

متن کاملA note on the order graph of a group
The order graph of a group $G$, denoted by $Gamma^*(G)$, is a graph whose vertices are subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if $|H|big{|}|K|$ or $|K|big{|}|H|$. In this paper, we study the connectivity and diameter of this graph. Also we give a relation between the order graph and prime graph of a group.
