We call change-point problem (CPP) the identification of changes in the probabilistic behavior of a sequence of observations. Solving the CPP involves detecting the number and position of such changes. In genetics the study of how and what characteristics of a individual’s genetic content might contribute to the occurrence and evolution of cancer has fundamental importance in the diagnosis and ...

This paper gives a general overview of a method developed to optimised NDT inspection planning and results analysis. This computerized tool offers sample size calculation, statistical analysis of thickness measurements and life prediction modules. In each step and module, calculations are driven by equations developed using data gathered from previous expertise and laboratory work. The equation...

The three recently developed algorithms by Obeidat and Raman in 2009 for sampling free form surfaces are applied on small scale parts created using milling machine. The three proposed algorithms and the two existing algorithms (equiparametric approach, and the patch-size-based sampling method) are applied in sampling the measuring points. A Browne & Sharpe MicroVal PFXTM 454 CMM was used in the...

This paper proposes an innovative methodology for Acceptance Sampling by Variables, which is a particular category of Statistical Quality Control dealing with the assurance of products quality. Our contribution lies in the exploitation of machine learning techniques to address the complexity and remedy the drawbacks of existing approaches. More specifically, the proposed methodology exploits Ar...
