We consider the partially linear model relating a response Y to predictors X T with mean function X g T when the T s are measured with additive error We derive an estimator of by modi cation local likelihood method The resulting estimator of is shown to be asymptotically normal

We consider the complexity of computing Boolean functions by analog circuits of bounded fan-in, i.e., by circuits of gates computing real-valued functions, either exactly or as sign-representation. Sharp upper bounds are obtained for the complexity of the most difficult n-variable function over certain bases (sign-representation by arithmetic circuits and exact computation by piecewise linear c...

The width of the cusp region is an indicator of the strength of the merging process and the degree of opening of the magnetosphere. During three years, the Magion-4 satellite, as part of the Interball project, has collected a unique data set of cusp-like plasma observations in middle and high altitudes. For a comparison of highand low-altitude cusp determination, we map our observations of cusp...

In its most basic form, latent growth modeling (latent curve analysis) allows an assessment of individuals’change in a measured variable X over time. For simple linear models, as with other growth models, parameter estimates associated with the α construct (amount of X at a chosen temporal reference point) and β construct (growth in X per unit time) are not invariant with respect to choice of r...

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a new in-memory index structure for efficient processing of range queries over moving objects. Traditional spatial index approaches suffer from the need for frequent updates and therefore result in poor performance in moving object environments. To reduce the number of updates, many existing approaches use a linear function to represent the movement of obj...

In this paper, we provide a practical formulation of the problem of identifying all error occurrences and all failed scan cells in atspeed scan based BIST environment. We propose a method that can be used to identify every error when the circuit test frequency is higher than the tester frequency. Our approach requires very little extra hardware for diagnosis and the test application time requir...

The subject of this work is the defence planning of a point target against an air attack. The defence system is decomposed into a number of sectors. A direct method of coordination is used at the upper level, while the sectors use a discretetime event-based model and the description of uncertainty by multiple scenarios of an attack. The resulting problems are solved using linear programming. A ...
