Data from complex survey designs require special consideration with regard to estimation of finite population parameters and corresponding variance estimation procedures, as a consequence of significant departures from the simple random sampling assumption. In the past decade a number of statistical software packages have been developed to facilitate the analysis of complex survey data. All the...

Dual frame surveys, in which independent samples are selected from two frames to decrease survey costs or to improve coverage, can present challenges for regression coefficient estimation because of complex designs and unknown degree of overlap. In this research, we developed four regression coefficient estimators in dual frame surveys. Simulation results show that all the proposed methods work...

The IEEE has recently released the 802.3bj standard that defines two different low power operating modes for high speed Energy Efficient Ethernet physical interfaces (PHYs) working at 40 and 100Gb/s. In this paper, we propose the use of the well-known frame coalescing algorithm to manage them and provide an analytical model to evaluate the influence of coalescing parameters and PHY characterist...

A dimension invariance property of finite frames of translates and Gabor frames is discussed. Under appropriate support conditions among the frame and dual frame generating functions, we show that a pair of dual frames evaluated in a given space remains a valid dual set if they are naturally embedded in the underlying space of almost arbitrarily enlarged dimension. Consequently, the evaluation ...

Unlike wavelets, shearlets form a pyramid of well-localize...

Department of ECE Dhanalakshmi College of Engineering, Chennai-601 301, Tamil Nadu, India Email: [email protected] Abstract: The motivation of the proposed compression method is to reduce the bit rate for image transmission or memory requirement for image storage while maintaining image quality. The edges are one of the prominent features in an image a...

Given a frame for a subspace W of a Hilbert space H , we consider all possible families of oblique dual frame vectors on an appropriately chosen subspace V. In place of the standard description, which involves computing the pseudoinverse of the frame operator, we develop an alternative characterization which in some cases can be computationally more efficient. We first treat the case of a gener...

A special case of multiple frame prediction is the dual frame buffer, where an encoder uses both an immediate past frame and a long term past frame for motion compensation. Using a dual frame buffer together with intra/inter mode switching improves the compression performance of the coder. In this work, we investigate the effect of feedback in making better mode-switching decisions in the conte...
