چکیده
• Σ is a set of output symbols, for example Σ = {a, b} • Θ is a vector of parameters. It contains three types of parameters: – πj for j = 1 . . . N is the probability of choosing state j as an initial state. Note that ∑N j=1 πj = 1. – aj,k for j = 1 . . . (N − 1), k = 1 . . . N , is the probability of transitioning from state j to state k. Note that for all j, ∑N k=1 aj,k = 1. – bj(o) for j = 1 . . . (N − 1), and o ∈ Σ, is the probability of emitting symbol o from state j. Note that for all j, ∑ o∈Σ bj(o) = 1. Thus it can be seen that Θ is a vector of N + (N − 1)N + (N − 1)|Σ| parameters.

Determining the Proper compression Algorithm for Biomedical Signals and Design of an Optimum Graphic System to Display Them (TECHNICAL NOTES)
In this paper the need for employing a data reduction algorithm in using digital graphic systems to display biomedical signals is firstly addressed and then, some such algorithms are compared from different points of view (such as complexity, real time feasibility, etc.). Subsequently, it is concluded that Turning Point algorithm can be a suitable one for real time implementation on a microproc...
متن کاملNotes on the genus Pileolaria (Pucciniales)
The results showed that Pileolaria terebinthi, type species of the genus Pileolaria is not a hemi–form or brachy–form rust species as mentioned among literature by several authors. Study on miscellaneous specimens collected from Iran and locus classicus of the species, France, revealed that P. terebinthi is an automacrocyclic rust and its aecial state is not uredinioi...
متن کاملNotes on Dictyuchus species (Stramenopila, Oomycetes) from Anzali lagoon, Iran
Nine Dictyuchus isolates were obtained from floating and decaying twigs and leaves in Anzali lagoon, Anzali County, Guilan province, Iran. They are interestingly distinguished from current Dictyuchus species by the presence of dictyoid and achlyoid type of zoospore discharge, abundant fusiform and spherical gemma, and the absence of any sexual apparatus. In addition, phylogene...
متن کاملLecture Notes: Comparison-Based Lower Bounds
We have proved in a previous lecture that the permutation problem on n elements requires Ω(min{n, n B logM/B n B}) I/Os to solve in the indivisibility model. This immediately implies the same lower bound for sorting—if we can sort n elements in x I/Os, then we can also permute them in O(x) I/Os. This, in turn, means that no “indivisible” EM algorithm can always sort in o( n B logM/B n B ) I/Os,...
متن کاملMinimum Discrepancy Estimation in Probabilistic Knowledge Structures
Practical applications of the theory of knowledge structures often rely on a probabilistic version, known as the basic local independence model. The paper outlines various procedures for estimating its parameters, including maximum likelihood (ML) via the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, the computationally efficient minimum discrepancy (MD) estimation as well as MDML, a hybrid method c...
متن کاملNotes on two powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphe magnifica and E. corylacearum) from Iran
Two powdery mildew species have been collected from Iran. For the first time, Erysiphe magnifica on Magnolia sp. was identified from Iran based on morphological and molecular characteristics. Erysiphe corylacearum was collected for the second time in the country and reported for the first time from Guilan province. There are some polymorphisms in ITS-rDNA sequences of...
