This paper extends Burdett and Coles (2003)’s search model to two types of workers and firms and derives the equilibrium earnings distributions for both types of workers. It is proven that minority workers have a higher unemployment rate than majority workers; discriminating firms make lower profit than non-discriminating firms; offers to minority workers by non-discriminating firms are consist...

Many topological measures have been introduced in the literature to characterize topological prope...

This paper aims to address the problem of anomaly detection and discrimination in complex behaviours, where anomalies are subtle and difficult to detect owing to the complex temporal dynamics and correlations among multiple objects’ behaviours. Specifically, we decompose a complex behaviour pattern according to its temporal characteristics or spatial-temporal visual contexts. The decomposed beh...

we propose a novel approach for detecting precursors to epileptic seizures in intracranial electroencephalograms (ieeg), which is based on the analysis of system dynamics. in the proposed scheme, the largest lyapunov exponent of the discrete wavelet packet transform (dwpt) of the segmented eeg signals is considered as the discriminating features. such features are processed by a support vector ...

Introduction: Differentiation of benign and malignant liver tumors is very important for finding appropriate treatment procedure. Human eyes sometime are not able to diagnose the type of liver tumor. Texture analysis is considered as a suitable method to increase the diagnostic power of medical images. In this study texture analysis is employed in order to classification of ben...
