Spatial soil applications frequently involve binomial variables. If relevant environmental covariates are available, using a Bayesian generalized linear model (BGLM) might be solution for mapping such discrete properties. The geostatistical extension, (BGLGM), adds spatial dependence and is thus potentially better equipped. objective of this work was to evaluate whether it pays off extend from ...

Basis Pursuit (BP) and Basis Pursuit Denoising (BPDN), well established techniques for computing sparse representations, minimize an ` data fidelity term, subject to an ` sparsity constraint or regularization term, by mapping the problem to a linear or quadratic program. BPDN with an ` data fidelity term has recently been proposed, also implemented via a mapping to a linear program. We introduc...

This paper presents a new formulation for mapping algorithms into linear systolic arrays. The closed-form necessary and suucient mapping conditions are derived to identify mappings without computation connicts and data link collisions. These mapping conditions are easy to check because their constituent variables are the space-time mapping matrix and the problem size parameters. The design of o...

xn+k – qnxn = fn, n ∈N0, where k ∈N, (qn)n∈N0 , (fn)n∈N0 ⊂C, in the case qn = q, n ∈N0, q ∈C \ {0}. Using the formula, we show the existence of a unique bounded solution to the equation when |q| > 1 and supn∈N0 |fn| <∞ by finding a solution in closed form. By using the formula for the bounded solution we introduce an operator that, together with the contraction mapping principle, helps in showi...

Iris texture is commonly thought to be highly discriminative between eyes and stable over individual lifetime, which makes iris particularly suitable for personal identification. However, iris texture also contains more information related to genes, which has been demonstrated by successful use of ethnic and gender classification based on iris. In this paper, we propose a novel ethnic classific...

A technique is described for classifying abnormal cases and normal cases in automatic spinal deformity analysis by computer based on moire topographic images of human backs. Displacement of local centroids is evaluated statistically between the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the moire images. The technique was applied to real subjects images in order to draw a distinction between 60 ...

Hybrid dynamic systems are analyzed through linear hybrid automaton. In this paper, we propose a mapping algorithm to deal with a new Continuous elementary HPN. The method shown enables us to analyze some system properties using a linear hybrid automaton generated by a mapping process. The application involves a water system of three tanks, which is analyzed by a PHAVer (Polyhedral Hybrid Autom...
