Maximum Certainty Data

چکیده
Problems in data analysis often require the unsupervised partitioning of a data set into clusters. Many methods exist for such partitioning but most have the weakness of being model-based (most assuming hyper-ellipsoidal clusters) or computationally infeasible in anything more than a 3-dimensional data space. We reconsider the notion of cluster analysis in information-theoretic terms and show that minimisation of partition entropy can be used to estimate the number and structure of probable data generators.

Evaluation the best of selective base period of GCM models to determine meteorological variables of Birjand station in future periods Abstract: Nowadays, determining the effect of a climate change in the various aspects of human life is quite evident. In such a situation, it is very important to determine the base period, which determines the effects of a climate change than in this ...
متن کاملA fully automatic algorithm for assessing T2* and its certainty value for accurate cardiac and liver iron load determination
Background Quantification of myocardial and liver iron load has become a mainstay of guiding therapy in thalassaemia patients. However, current quantification methods are user dependent for data-point exclusion before curve fitting, and do not report the T2* certainty. Recently, an automatic inline maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) method with k-space Rician noise correction was validated again...

An experiment replicated and extended recent findings on psychologically realistic ways of modeling propagation of uncertainty in rule based reasoning. Within a single production rule, the antecedent evidence can be summarized by taking the maximum of disjunctively connected antecedents and the minimum of conjunctively connected antecedents. The maximum certainty factor attached to each of the ...

متن کاملAssessing certainty of activation or inactivation in test-retest fMRI studies
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is widely used to study activation in the human brain. In most cases, data are commonly used to construct activation maps corresponding to a given paradigm. Results can be very variable, hence quantifying certainty of identified activation and inactivation over studies is important. This paper provides a model-based approach to certainty estimation f...
