Traditional classification learning studies tell us that people learn to attend to the diagnostic features of exemplars (Kruschke, 1992; Medin & Schaffer, 1978; Shepard, Hovland, & Jenkins, 1961). But recent research has discovered that the learning task influences what information people learn about categories (Markman & Ross, 2003). A learning task can either be the primary goal or be inciden...

The purpose of this note is to report on recent joint work with J. Funke, P. Jenkins, and K. Ono on the traces of CM values of modular functions and some applications [BF], [BJO].

The paper by Jenkins et al. (6) provides interesting data on Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst permeability and survival. The vital dye assay (4) relies upon oocyst permeability and exhibits limitations, especially in assessment of disinfectant efficacy (3). However, it is rewarding to note that it is considered to have utility and can provide pertinent data. Although we agree with many points addr...

In this paper, two CI techniques, namely, single multiplicative neuron (SMN) model and adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS), have been proposed for time series prediction. A variation of particle swarm optimization (PSO) with co-operative sub-swarms, called COPSO, has been used for estimation of SMN model parameters leading to COPSO-SMN. The prediction effectiveness of COPSO-SMN and ANF...

Dalbergia melanoxylon Gill. & Perr. known as African Blackwood or Mpingo in Swahili is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae known to be an economically important tree with high-quality wood and being one of the most expensive timbers in the world (Jenkins et al. 2002, Ball, 2004). D. melanoxylon presently exploited for international trade is the most precious heartwood in the world (Ball, 2...

We propose Markov random fields (MRFs) as a probabilistic mathematical model for incorporating the internal states of other agents, both human and robotic, into robot decision making. By using estimates of Theory of Mind (ToM), the mental states of other agents can be incorporated into decision making through statistical inference, allowing robots to balance their own goals and internal objecti...

BACKGROUND Predicting the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) plays an important role in planning health control strategies for the future, developing intervention programs and allocating resources. OBJECTIVES The present longitudinal study estimated the incidence of tuberculosis in 2014 using Box-Jenkins methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Monthly data of tuberculosis cases recorded in the surveilla...

In the literature results can be found which claim consistency for the subspace method under certain quite weak assumptions. Unfortunately, a new result gives a counter example showing inconsistency under these assumptions and then gives new more strict su$cient assumptions which however does not include important model structures such as, e.g. Box}Jenkins. Based on a simple least-squares appro...
