چکیده

Consider the following weighted digital sum (WDS) variant: write integer n as n = 21 + 22 + · · · + 2k with i1 > i2 > · · · > ik ≥ 0 and set WM (n) := ∑k t=1 t 2t . This type of weighted digital sum arises (when M = 1) in the analysis of bottom-up mergesort but is not “smooth” enough to permit a clean analysis. We therefore analyze its average TWM (n) := 1 n ∑ j<n WM (j). We show that TWM (n) has a solution of the form

The cost of principles: analyzing power in compatibility weighted voting games

We propose Compatibility Weighted Voting Games, a variant of Weighted Voting Games in which some pairs of agents are compatible and some are not. In a Weighted Voting Game each agent has a weight, and a set of agents can form a winning coalition if the sum of their weights is at least a given quota. Whereas the original Weighted Voting Game model assumes that all agents are compatible, we consi...

Investigating a space-variant weighted salience account of visual selection

Weighted salience models are a popular framework for image-driven visual attentional processes. These models operate by: sampling the visual environment; calculating feature maps; combining them in a weighted sum and using this to determine where the eye will fixate next. We examine these stages in turn. We find that a biologically plausible non-uniform retinal sampling causes feature coding un...

Novel tree-based method to generate markers from rare variant data

Existing methods for analyzing rare variant data focus on collapsing a group of rare variants into a single common variant; collapsing is based on an intuitive function of the rare variant genotype information, such as an indicator function or a weighted sum. It is more natural, however, to take into account the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) interactions informed directly by the data. We...

Analyzing registry, log files, and prefetch files in finding digital evidence in graphic design applications

The products of graphic design applications leave behind traces of digital information which can be used during a digital forensic investigation in cases where counterfeit documents have been created. This paper analyzes the digital forensics involved in the creation of counterfeit documents. This is achieved by first recognizing the digital forensic artifacts left behind from the use of graphi...
