Spelling correction using probabilistic methods

A probabilistic procedure is suggested for the automatic correction of spelling and typing errors in printed English texts. The heart of the procedure is a probabilistic model for the generation of the garbled word from the correct word. The garbler can delete or insert symbols in the word or substitute one or more symbols by other symbols. An expression is derived for P(Y I X), the probability...

Comparing power among three sampling methods for monitoring forest vegetation

We compared three methods of sampling forest vegetation for their ability to reliably estimate changes in species richness, plant abundance, and overstory basal area and composition. Methods include the US Forest Service’s Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) method and two other methods being considered for use in monitoring National Parks in the Northern Great Lakes ecoregion. All methods were...
