In this study the characterisation and separation/discrimination of three sheep breeds (crosses, West African Dwarfs (WAD) and West African Long Legged (WALL)] based on their physical traits (morphological characterisation) was investigated extensively with the application of discriminant analysis. The study's main objective was specifically based on developing a variable selection criterion th...

Sufficient dimension reduction methods provide effective ways to visualize discriminant analysis problems. For example, Cook and Yin (2001) showed that the dimension reduction method of sliced average variance estimation (save) identifies variates that are equivalent to a quadratic discriminant analysis (qda) solution. This article makes this connection explicit to motivate the use of save vari...

Thai sentences can be simplified or shortened by simply cutting some words out without changing its meaning. In this paper, Linear and non-linear Fisher discriminant analysis are applied to shorten Thai paragraph in a corpus. Features used in this paper are unique word ID and part of speech of the target word, as well as its three previous and three next adjacent words, and also its role as con...

where q = e. The values of j(z) at imaginary quadratic arguments in the upper half of the complex plane are known as singular moduli. Singular moduli are algebraic integers which play prominent roles in classical and modern number theory (see [C, BCSH]). For example, Hilbert class fields of imaginary quadratic fields are generated by singular moduli. Furthermore, isomorphism classes of elliptic...

In this paper, we enumerate all number fields of degree 10 of discriminant smaller than 1011 in absolute value containing a quintic field having one real place. For each one of the 21509 (resp. 18167) found fields of signature (0, 5) (resp. (2, 4)) the field discriminant, the quintic field discriminant, a polynomial defining the relative quadratic extension, the corresponding relative discrimin...

Any statistical pattern recognition system includes a feature extraction component. For character patterns, several feature families have been tested, such as the Fourier-Wavelet Descriptors. We are proposing here a generalization of this family: the Fourier-Packet Descriptors. We have selected sets of these features and tested them on handwritten digits: the error rate was 1.55% with a polynom...

understanding the performance and role of each formation in a petroleum play is crucial for the efficient and precise exploration and exploitation of trapped hydrocarbons in a sedimentary basin. the lorestan basin is one of the most important hydrocarbon basins of iran, and it includes various oil-prone potential source rocks and reservoir rocks. previous geochemical studies of the basin were n...

A lexicon-driven segmentation-recognition scheme on Bangla handwritten city-name recognition is proposed for Indian postal automation. In the proposed scheme, at first, binarization of the input document is done and then to take care of slanted handwriting of different individuals a slant correction technique is performed. Next, due to the script characteristics of Bangla, a water reservoir con...

This paper presents an ordered sorting procedure based on the Choquet integral as a discriminant function. It uses information provided by the Decision Maker (dm) in terms of a set of prototypes (alternatives well-known to the dm). The capacities of the Choquet integral are assessed through the solving of a linear program or a quadratic program. An interpretation of the results is provided by m...
