GISVET ’07 - Pre Conference Draft APPLICATION OF A NOVEL METHOD OF SPATIALLY ADAPTIVE SMOOTHING
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use a novel kernel estimator with a spatially adaptive smoothing bandwidth to visualise the spatial pattern of Salmonella risk determined from testing in the Danish swine Salmonella control programme. This approach improves on previous methods by allowing focussed estimation of risk in areas of high population density while maintaining stable estimates in regions where the data are sparse. The resulting spatial pattern should be considered in the development of surveillance strategies and as a basis for further, more detailed analyses of the data.

A new adaptive exponential smoothing method for non-stationary time series with level shifts
Simple exponential smoothing (SES) methods are the most commonly used methods in forecasting and time series analysis. However, they are generally insensitive to non-stationary structural events such as level shifts, ramp shifts, and spikes or impulses. Similar to that of outliers in stationary time series, these non-stationary events will lead to increased level of errors in the forecasting pr...
متن کاملLongitudinal Brain MRI Analysis with Uncertain Registration
In this paper we propose a novel approach for incorporating measures of spatial uncertainty, which are derived from non-rigid registration, into spatially normalised statistics. Current approaches to spatially normalised statistical analysis use point-estimates of the registration parameters. This is limiting as the registration will rarely be completely accurate, and therefore data smoothing i...
متن کاملDiscrimination of the Heart Ventricular and Atrial Abnormalities via a Wavelet-Aided Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) Classifier
The aim of this study is to address a new feature extraction method in the area of the heart arrhythmia classification based on a metric with simple mathematical calculation called Curve-Length Method (CLM). In the presented method, curve length of the under study excerpted segment of signal is considered as an informative feature in which the effect of important geometric parameters of the ori...
متن کاملIntroduction to a simple yet effective Two-Dimensional Fuzzy Smoothing Filter
Annihilation or reduction of each kind of noise blended in correct data signals is a field that has attracted many researchers. It is a fact that fuzzy theory presents full capability in this field. Fuzzy filters are often strong in smoothing corrupted signals, whereas they have simple structures. In this paper, a new powerful yet simple fuzzy procedure is introduced for sharpness reduction in ...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems
In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...
